Second Wave of content from my side (all WIP):

Archivar Inquisitor Shenhua Bao Zhu

Originally a mere harbor administrator in Port Elys on Beyonne, she caught the attention of her future Master Inquisitor Addam Pyne when he pursued one of the rare and dangerous Halo artifacts. Despite not being able to find it, Pyne recruited Bao Zhu for her ability to focus on menial tasks and administrative work. Not much of a warrior, she proved essential in tracking smugglers and corsairs by searching through countless shipping documents and fee receipts. Content with her fate, Bao Zhu never expected to be even considered as a future Inquisitor, let alone inherit the Sigil of Pyne. Fate had different plans however and when Pyne and many of his retinue suffered an infection with the lethal Ash Pox, he bestowed his rank on Shenhua.

Calling upon the few contacts she established under the guidance of Inquisitor Pyne and for her experience with the underground trade of Xenos artifacts, she set herself up at Watch Fortress Malepertus permanently. From there, she slowly built a network of informants and spies all over the sector, tasked with pursuing the movements of smugglers and outlaws. Tracking down suspicious shipments, Shenhua often informs the Watch Commander of especially dangerous cargos or the impending movement of Xenos.

Secondly, she catalogues all incoming artifacts, leads interrogations of prisoners and oversees the various documents entering the Fortress' archives.

The Oathblade

A relic of the Fortress, the origin of this golden blade has been extinguished from all records. Archeotech or even xeno-manufactured, this double-edged long-sword sports a flat tip.

Through a secret ritual, a Marine may bind himself to the blade with an oath. Once this oath has been made, the blade's wielder will not succumb to any phsyical wound as long as it remains unfulfilled. The ritual is only known to the present Master of the Reclusiasm and the Watch Commander and even the Marine in question will have his mind wiped of the details shuold he survive his mission. Most commonly, those having experienced a great failure request to wield the blade in order to correct their shortcomings, but on other occasion, it might be deployed against an especially dangerous foe.
