Inquisitor Iberia Alonso

Inquisitor Maturin Melmoth

Founded by a small group of Inquisitors within the Argevanen Sector in the Segmentum Obscurus, the Cabal of the Burning Brand seeks to fight all manner of heresies, while focusing on the threat of the Daemonic. The cell is lead by Lord Inquisitor Abravanel, with Inquisitors Morgaris, Alonso, and Melmoth being the only other members.They seek what knowledge they can about their chosen enemy, and meet as often as possible to exchange information. The Cabal is suprisingly tolerant of differing beliefs, seeing that both Puritan and Radicals strive for the same goals. They are often at odds with more Puritanical factions, but rarely do they come into conflict with one another.

The chosen symbol of the Cabal is that of a burning torch, interposed in front of the Inquisitorial Rosette. Those members of the Cabal that choose to show their allegiance to the group tend to use some variation of the symbol, a small silver torch worn on the collar or as a brooch being the most common.

Currently, the Cabal is involved in preventing a being known only as "The Prophet of Ambience" from gaining entrance into the Black Library.
Domains of the Cabal of the Burning Brand

The Cabal often operates close around the Eye of Terror, due to the Argevanen Sector's proximity to the Eye, and the Cabal's chosen field of work. They search tirelessly for signs of daemonic taint, purging any such taint with ruthless ferocity.
The Cabal often holds Conclave at the Inqusitorial fortress of Nemesis Tessera. They will invite Inquisitors with similar lines of work to such Conclaves, but the more sensitive parts of their discussions are done secretely, often away from even the Inquisiton fortress.

The Cabal of the Burning Brand Secrets
A relatively new cell of Inquisitors, the Cabal has few secrets, apart from those secrets that each individual has, from Inquisitor Morgaris being an Untouchable, and Lord Inquisitor Abravanel's frequent dealings with the Eldar group known as the Burning Sun Brotherhood.

This group of Heretics seeks to gain entrance to the Black Library by finding a series of "Keys" Thes keys could be anything, from a book, to a person, or any other myriad items.

This is just a rough outline of ideas, more for my benefit than anything, so that I can organize my thoughts better. I'd be interested to see what anybody thought of my ideas.
