Mark of Torquemada

The dread inquisitor Tomas de Torquemada controls a legion of underlings to help him in his nefarious quest—the complete extermination of all Caribdus’ mages. Those who pledge themselves to his cause, honestly and truly, are made inquisitors and painfully branded upon their left breast with the sign of the cross. From this day forward, the character gains the Improved Arcane Resistance Edge (which is nototherwise available in this setting).

The Edge comes with a price though. Torquemada knows what is in a person’s heart, and does not impart his brand to those with no intention of fulfilling their duties. The character is expected to bring Torquemada a minimum of one mage every six months. Those who fail are not banished, but are sent after more powerful targets to regain the High Inquisitor’s trust.
