Known Acolytes
Interrogator Septimus Strophes
Septimus Strophes is a Throne Agent for Inquisitor Lord Staven Arcturos, as well as a distant cousin of Laurent Strophes. Lord Drake met him on his wedding day, but it was not long before he introduced himself as an agent for the Inquisitor Lord. It was he who brought up the notion, on behalf of Staven Arcturos, of taking a force to the Periphery War and assisting in locating specific xenos threats. In exchange, the Inquisitor would use some of his influence to support Lord Drake's forces and legitimacy for being in the Periphery Subsector with an independent army and fleet.
Once it was time to deploy to the Periphery War, Septimus joined them while serving on board an Arbites frigate. Ostensibly, he was there as a high-ranking Arbitrator to help bring the Lex Imperialis back to the subsector, but his primary goal is to ferret out the secrets of xenos presence.
As a Throne Agent, he ranks as an Interrogator, working as a secret-breaker for Lord Inquisitor Arcturos. Those in the know with Inquisition agents know that he is being groomed to eventually assume the role as a full Inquisitor, following in his Master's footsteps. Being given the lead to hunt down xenos abominations in the chaos of the Periphery War is seen as a test for his ability to command and advance the goals of Ordo Xenos without the traditional support of planetary governments or other arms of the Imperial government.
Team 7-Alpha
Garvin Derleth
A Novice Inquisitorial Acolyte, Garvin's trip into the Koronus Expanse is is first off-Scintilla assignment for Inquisitor Arcturos. He is extremely nervous about proving himself successful in his task and pleasing the Inquisitor. Consequently, he constantly attempts to exert control over matters that he does not begin to understand, in a pattern of micromanagement. From the moment he boarded the vessel, Derleth constantly found new way to make Drake's life more challenging, constantly haranguing the vessel's crew with questions that exposed his complete naiveté regarding Warp travel or Rogue Traders. Prior to his induction as an Acolyte, Derleth was a statistician dedicated to maintaining proper supplies of various ink used by the Administratum offices on Scintilla. A run of extraordinary luck - both good and bad - left him in the midst of a fire fight between an escaped xenos and another group of Inquisitor Arcturos' Acolytes. After he survived the encounter and managed to stumble his way through the debriefing, he was recruited. Over the intervening years, he's been promoted largely due to being the only survivor of several disastrous missions.

Faydra Mason
The second member of Garvin's current team, Faydra is both more curious and more surreptitious then her nervous team leader. Of the three acolytes, Faydra spent the most time out of the room they had been provided, often disappearing for long stretches of time before returning unexpectedly. Follow up investigations seem to indicate she'd been dropping in, disguised, among the ratings for unknown purposes. Although she lets her team leader to the majority of the talking, she does interject at times with well thought out statements or bits of lore.
Serge Grendon
The third and perhaps most mysterious member of Garvin's team, Serge is quiet, contemplative man who seems oddly a peace with whatever insanity is going on around him. He spent the majority of his time in the rooms they were provided, though he did venture out on a regular basis to take part in prayer services. He has said little in the time you've known him, save for the occasional blessing or tidbit of forgotten lore.
