Inquisitors are members of @The Holy Inquisition.
Potential Inquisitors come from all walks of life, from humble agri-workers' sons to highborn nobles' daughters, but are usually drawn from the Progena of the Schola Progenium who show the most promise. Some are drawn from the students of @Adeptus Astra Telepathica for their prominent psyker abilities.
As is the case with all other aspects of the @The Holy Inquisition , the power to recruit is not centralized, but left in the hands of individual Inquisitors. Some are known to not recruit at all and instead spend their years of service in pursuit of their enemies and dedicate their hours to duty for the rest of their lives. Others, however, feel that it is one of their many burdens to bring about the next generation of Inquisitors who are destined to carry forth the battle that the Inquisition must wage. Ultimately, the matter is left to the judgment of the individual Inquisitors, who are subject only to the scrutiny of their peers. A majority of Inquisitors typically leave matters to chance or perhaps to fate in regard to picking a suitable candidate from amongst the groups of individuals whose paths cross that of the Inquisition. There are a number of Inquisitors who are more rigorous in regard to the pursuit of apprentices and will spend a proportion of their time seeking suitable candidates - sometimes from the ranks of other Imperial organisations.
