This is the Sisters of the Void profile and plot hooks used in my games:

Recently, while I was cleaning out the closet, I stumbled upon my 3rd Edition Imperial Guard Codex. As fate would have it, I watched "The Dirty Dozen" the previous night...I'm sure Tzeentch is smiling and saying, "Just as planned," about this incident. Anyway, I was suitably inspired to write up the following NPCs.

Early life Like most Imperial Commissars, Yarrick was taken from his parents at birth to be raised and indoctrinated by the Schola Progenium. He learned the Ork language while fighting them on V'run. Since that time, he has extensively studied the Ork mind, and is considered one of the Imperium's leading experts on Orks.

“Mad” Larkin is the master sniper of the Tanith 1st Regiment from the Gaunt’s Ghosts novels. I wrote up the stats to represent Larkin at the end of The Armour of Contempt. He’s in his mid- to late-50s (one of the oldest members of the regiment) and scrawny, which is why his S and T are lower than average. His mental instability is reflected in his low WP and Fel. There is a good reason why I gave him a very low Ag, but I’d rather not give out any spoilers. I might change his stats once Only in Death is released.

The Blood Pact is a highly organized Chaos warrior-cult devoted to Khorne. Unlike many Chaos cultist warbands, the Pact fights as a disciplined army, and this is what makes them so effective compared to the disorganized Chaotic masses. Consisting of highly trained, vicious soldiers and alien mercenaries, the soldiers of the Blood Pact know no fear or hesitation. They have overrun entire worlds and caused the people of the Imperium no small amount of suffering and woe.

I have written up stats for 40k characters from various fluff sources, such as books, comics, video games, the tabletop game, etc. Here's my take on one of the greatest commissars and the Hero of Volistad.

Malthus is a very junior Inquisitor who doesn’t seem to be able to keep his place. He is admirably active but seems to delight in investigations that should be passed on to more experienced Inquisitors. So far his results have been sound but he is clearly to be watched closely. One of his acolyte teams has already had to be purged, another shows signs of deviance and there are signs that he willing to use questionable help. His insults to Fulk and Lady Theda also show a lack of discretion that may well cost him support from members of the Conclave despite Lord Nihilus speaking well of him. Has a raging temper, but this isn’t unusual in Inquisitors.

From certain perspectives, hive cities are nothing more than a collection of intersecting streets. If one is minded to view the metropolis through the eyes of a demagogue, there are millions of corners from which passers by may be harangued and abused. Any many see their world in this way. Naïve visitors to the hives are overwhelmed in short order upon arrival by the sheer ferocity and volume of the invective directed at them by hawkers, preachers, and bawds from every angle, in dozens of languages.
