I have read 2 stories about Inquisiiton begining
1'st one: "In the twilight hours prior to His internment within the Golden Throne, while Terra lay besieged by the traitor forces of Warmaster Horus, the Emperor of Mankind commanded Malcador the Sigillite to seek out "men of character, skill, and determination" to be tested and trained so that an elite group of investigators might be tasked to discover the alien, mutant, and heretic. Immediately prior to his assault on Horus's battlebarge, Malcador presents twelve individuals to the Emperor, eight Astartes and four humans who he has gathered in response to the Emperor's commands. The Astartes are described as having cast aside their allegiance to their Primarch and Legion who sided with Horus; Maclador goes on to say that they are blessed with paranormal skills which are most apt in combating the horrors that have recently emerged from the warp9. Although the identities of the twelve presented to the Emperor are never revealed, it is known that among those individuals recruited by Malcador were Captain Nathaniel Garro of the Death Guard, Captain Iacton Qruze of the Luna Wolves, and Sister of Silence Amendera Kendel"
2'nd one: "Immediately after the Emperor was interred in his Golden Throne, four trusted servants of the Emperor gathered in secret to discuss what was to happen next. Their opinions were divided; two believed the Emperor could be returned to life, the other two believed it folly to interfere with the events that had unfolded. The two resurrectionists, known as Promeus and Moriana, left Terra to begin their quest to bring the Emperor back to life. The two that remained acted quickly to establish themselves with the Senatorum Imperialis and created an organization to combat the efforts of Promeus and Moriana; and it was from this seed, the Inquisition was formed."
Witch one of those 2 stories is the real one?

Ordo Malleus and Xenos were created towards the end of the Great Crusade by decree of the Emperor, Ordo Hereticus was created after the Age of Apostasy to act as a kind of secret police and oversee Imperial Administration and the Ecclesiarchy in particular to make sure another madman like Vandire never gained influence.

The Horus Heresy novels seem to lend credence to the first scenario.

The Horus Heresy novels pretty much confirm Option 1.

Except for the names Promeus and Moriana (which might be aliases), the two stories aren't really mutually exclusive.

If Horus Heresy noels and stories confirmed option 1, then what about option 2?
I am also skeptical around all the secrecy around Inquisition founding. The High Lord of Terra didn't know about it whole year after it was created.
"When the Senatorum Imperialis was convened on the first anniversary of the Emperor's Ascension, a grim-faced man joined the council and identified himself as a representative of the Holy Orders of the Emperor's Inquisition."

Way to ruin the ambiance I bet.

Option 1 is the correct one.
AFAIK Option 2 is the 'view' of the Thorian Inquisitors on what happened, not the true version of events
