The tale of Inquisitor Quixos is the quintessential tragedy of Inquisition, the fall of a great hero into the trap of hubris, corruption, treachery, and damnation. A great champion and protector of humanity in his prime, it was Quixos’ cursed fate to be wounded by a Daemon that left a fragment of itself near his heart, slowly twisting him from within. Quixos did not resist the change but chose to embrace it, foolishly believing that he could channel and master the power leaking into him.
By the time Inquisitor Gregor Eisenhorn tracked him to his lair, Quixos was corrupted beyond physical recognition, surrounded by insane psykers and pet abominations he had bound into Daemonhosts and even into the sword he carried. He had lost all sight of his calling, spreading treachery within The Inquisition and committing atrocities such as the Spatian Gate disaster to further his aim of accumulating psykers and Warp-tainted artefacts. And yet even at the moment of his execution, Quixos insisted to Inquisitor Eisenhorn that he alone was on the right path, able to turn the Warp back on itself and save the Imperium
