==Inquisitor Kloom==

[[File:Kloom.gif‎ ‎|frame|right|c|Inquisitor Zadrid Kloom]]

Kloom has been a loyal servant to the Emperor for almost eighty years (nobody knows his exact age, and none are brave enough to ask).  The majority of that time was spent on the front lines of the battlefield with the Jungle Fighters.  He is a very powerful psyker, the only psyker that is trusted by Commander Vortex enough to join him in battle.  He still attends the larger battles, even though he is getting quite old.

His body has been augmented with a vox caster in place of his mouth, which connects to a powerful commlink system that he wears as a backback.  The vox echoes his words in a computer-synthsized voice that is deep and melodramatic (like Darth Vadar, but without the heavy breathing).  It’s rumored that his body has become so corrupted from the warp that he will die without the vox, as it serves as some kind of re-breather system in addition to its vocal functions.

'''Psychic Powers:''' Kloom is one of the most powerful Pyromancers serving the Emperor.  It is rumored that he has such incredible control over fire that he has incinerated small moons (of course…that’s probably just an exhaggeration…right?)

'''Personality:''' He is a thinker.  He likes to figure things out, and will only surround himself with allies that prove they are capable of using their brains over brawn.  The Catachan in him does present itself frequently though, and he is not one to be tested lightly.  He has been known to destroy people who have shown the slightest sign of dissent.

'''Notable Gear:''' 
* '''Ancient Tome:'''  He is never seen without it, and he is frequently spotted reading from it, but he has never shown the contents of it to anybody and the last person to ask was put on latrine duty for 6 months, so nobody has attempted to ask since then.
* '''Golden Amulet:''' He wears a small golden disc-shaped amulet around his neck.  Sometimes it pops out of his robes and shows some sort of archaic engravings on it.  As with the book, he never speaks of it.
* '''Plasma Pistol:''' Kloom is an apparent expert shot when using a plasma pistol.  The one he carries is supposedly master crafted by one of the Imperium’s top gunsmiths.
* '''Alien Skull:''' He carries a bizarre-looking skull with him.  Supposedly it’s all that remains of some foe that he defeated in battle many years ago.  He keeps it as a symbol of his power, as the foe in question decimated over 400 guardsmen and several dozen space marines before Kloom faced him.  The skull appears to be made entirely of silver or some silver-like material, and it radiates with power.
