Inquisitor Majoris Hanno Hamilkar

Overview

Like his Inquisitorial brothers, Inquisitor Majoris Hanno Hamilkar is fanatically faithful to his belief in the Cardinal and the Light he shines upon Humanity. His stoic nature belies his dedication to the fight against the Darkness and uncovering its taint wherever it may be. Hamilkar prefers to lead from the front and when in a warzone will generally be seen tearing into the Legion’s lines as he fights towards his objective. The Supreme Commander of the Brotherhood’s Second Directorate, is a rare man indeed. Not only is he a characteristic example of all the Order of Inquisition represents, but he is also a master of tactical warfare. Hailing from the Nord region of Luna where he was found abandoned as a baby, he was sent to the mountain training centre on Luna where he began training to become a Fury Elite Guard. When his particular abilities with the Art became clear his training ceased and he joined the ranks of the Second Directorate. His trainings under his instructors served him well though, and he rose quickly through the ranks, so becoming one of the youngest Inquisitor Majoris ever known. His battle skills and tactical genius are manifold, but key to his success is the use of the Art to understand his and his opponent’s strengths and weaknesses in any given situation, to each and every minuscule detail. This vision allows him to not only play the Warzone to his strengths, but also be critical of his enemy’s weakness. His victories have always been decisive and significantly devastating to his enemies as a result. Among his many victories, three have been significant; the first earned him the honorific title of Lord from the Imperial Megacorporation, the second the respect of the elusive Mishimans, but the third will always be seen as his future legacy to mankind.

The ‘Kirkwood Incursion’, as it would later be known, centred on a Dark Cult of Algeroth led by the Supreme Necromagus Siripolus. The Necromagus and his Kohorts had fortified themselves and the growing hordes of Legion abominations into the flanks of the Martian Kirkwood mountain range. Capitol forces, supported by Imperial and Bauhaus units, had besieged the seemingly impenetrable Dark Citadel for months and killed the original Nepharite who dwelled there, but each Capitol-led attack since had been repelled easily and at great loss to the Megacorporations. By the time Hamilkar arrived, with his sizable Brotherhood force, the Capitol forces were heavily depleted. Hamilkar sent a number of Free Marines and Blood Berets on recon missions, but none returned. Eventually, one lone marine, Sergeant Vince Harland, returned bloodied and bruised with grave news; Siripolus was undergoing arcane, cannibalistic rites in an attempt to open a Dark Legion Gate and was close to completing his intent. Hamilkar had all the information he needed. After prompt deliberation and promotion, Captain Harland was tasked with leading a mixed but small guerrilla force back into the Citadel, as the remaining besieging forces continued a frontal attack. Hamilkar and his Brotherhood then disappeared. A week later, the Citadel gates opened and out strode Hamilkar flanked by Harland, Nobou Hiroko of Mishima and a motley crew of Megacorporation forces. Hamilkar raised the Necromagus’s severed head in his fist. Reports of the event vary, though only Hamilkar and the Cardinal truly know the full course of events. Suffice to say Hamilkar’s tactical genius won through.
