<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Daemon working for Inquisitor?"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/31.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Daemon working for Inquisitor? Now he has explained it as, the Daemon is very much independent of the inquisitor's will, but goes along with her because it likes to see the reaction; making it very snarky and an all around ass while in the RP section of the campaign off the field of battle. It takes the form of a Tempestus Scion to not draw attention to itself, but can freely shape shift to feth with people, again, to see their reaction.

The daemon is obsessed with getting to Cadia so it can kill Abaddon, and it trying to rush this current conflict so the inquisitor can hurry up and take it there. Apparently the daemon doesn't go itself because the inquisitor has a diable style soul stone that if she crushes it, will banish it back to the warp so it plays nice when it needs to. Though the thing willingly fights chaos, xenos and other daemons it was revealed that the daemon's actual goals is to kill Abaddon so the thirteenth black crusade will dissolve and explode across the galaxy, because what it wants it to watch the galaxy burn.

Now I didn't write the character, but I'm convinced that it's a Daemon of Malice, ignoring it's name "Mal," because it's obsession during RP to cause anger and confusion in people. I've actually gotten a few subtle cues from the way the daemon talks to the inquisitor that makes me think it might even be the chaos god Malice itself.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/654147/7937593.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/654147/7937593.page GMT Daemon working for Inquisitor? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/654147/7937611.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/654147/7937611.page GMT Daemon working for Inquisitor? Malice is dubious canon (just from a single BL novel iirc) and the single most horrible part of 40k fluff (altough that is a personal opinion of course_

In any case, Inquisitors can sometimes have a daemon working for them, but in that case they will look like this:

so that the Inquisitor can actually control it. Just having that stone is not enough because it does not stop a daamon from subtly manipulating all around it and bending them to its will. That is the most dangerous thing about daemons.
An Inquisitor having a free, uncontrolled daemon as companion is consorting with warpspawn and a very grave heresy. Said Inquisitor would be purged on sight by the first Imperial institution encountered, for he/she likely has already fallen to Chaos. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/654147/7937620.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/654147/7937620.page GMT Daemon working for Inquisitor?

On the battlefield this daemon looks like this:


And the stone doesn't control it, it's the equivalent to a heart. You break it and you banish the daemon back to the warp. So the Daemon plays along because being sent to the warp would delay it in it's desire to kill Abbodon.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/654147/7940823.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/654147/7940823.page GMT Daemon working for Inquisitor?
I'd also note that bound daemonhosts in general aren't really known for being subservient. They obey because they have to, but constantly play mind games with their captives and seek to subvert orders for their personal benefit.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/654147/7941048.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/654147/7941048.page GMT Daemon working for Inquisitor?
A) The Daemon is blackmailing the Inquisitor into helping it, maybe its offering to save the Inquisitors family or somthing like that. This would also give the Daemon a bit more agency so it isn't just some pet dog in disguise.

B) The Inquisitor actually thinks the Daemon is a Tempestus Scion. Bit boring but I'd say it works, providedthe Inquisitor is quite slow in the head that is.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/654147/7941099.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/654147/7941099.page GMT Daemon working for Inquisitor?

Great...
She not only lets a deamon run around free, but also gave it a weapon?


Sure, why not give it the launch keys for a few Deathstrike missiles as well, to help it eliminate Abbadon?
I say the Inquisitor has either fallen to Chaos or is unknowingly being manipulated, which is heresy as well. Daemons are incredibly dangerous and manipulative, and there is no such thing as a 'good' or helpful daemon. Their true intentions are unknowable but they invariably involve claiming your soul. There simply is no way an Inquisitor would keep a daemon around without very strict and secure containment measures, and even then it remains incredibly risky. What that Inquisitor is doing is suicide (and have I already mentioned how incredibly heretical it is?), even servants of Chaos are often wary of dealing with daemons in such a direct way (Daemons don't really care about mortal loyalties, a soul is a soul.)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/654147/7941116.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/654147/7941116.page GMT Daemon working for Inquisitor? a) corrupted

The hotshot lasgun may just be part of the overall illusion of being human (ie-it's a projection, not a real gun). Anyway, the daemon would have nastier things in its arsenal. The rest of your point stands though. In order for the Inquisitor to tolerate this without some extra form of control she must be:
a) corrupted
b) desperate

Not my character. When he introduced it to the campaign he apparently explained it to the GM and he said it was ok. So I can't give any details (as I don't know) but the gm is a giant lore buff and says just go along with him being an extremely radical inquisitor till the player decided to reveal how the daemon came into the inquisitor's service. I just wanted someone to tell me some thoughts so maybe I can be spoiled on why.

But since no one can come up with a reason I guess I'm just going to have to wait.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/654147/7941209.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/654147/7941209.page GMT
