Dr. Tekart Rumnaheim

NAME: Dr. Tekart Rumnaheim

AGE: 44 Terran Years

GENDER: Male

PREVIOUS OCCUPATION:
Officio Medicae Doctor/Researcher

WARGEAR:
Medikit containing a Diagnosticator regularly updated with lists of every known ailment, how to identify said ailments, and recommended treatments, and an assortment of drugs, chems, and other medical items used for treatment and field surgery. Tekart also carries a stub revolver for personal defense, and a sophisticated data-slate documenting Tekart's lifes' work in terms of medical research and study

NOTABLE EVENTS:
Tekart has spent his life within the Officio Medicae, acting as anything from a clinical doctor, to a humanitarian field doctor, to a lab researcher, to a field experimenter. He's seen warzones, plague-worlds, impoverished hiveworld undercities, and even spent 4 days on Catachan helping ensure the now-immune Catachan natives weren't carrying any transmittable diseases as they left to serve the Guard. But by far the highlight of Tekart's career, and what put him on the inquisitorial map, was when he managed to develop a successful treatment for a disease that turned out to be a minor Nurgle plague. It was by no means a permanent cure, but it was enough to garner a mix of suspicion and interest from the Inquisition, which resulted in Tekart being 'convinced' to lend his support to the Inquisition.

PERSONALITY:
Tekart is very much a noncombatant emotionally. He panics when threatened with violence, trembles greatly whenever forced to shoot his gun, and can really only be of any use in a battle by rushing to the aide of injured allies. Out of combat scenarios, Tekart is a bookworm that is always ready to spout off whatever medical fact might be useful in any given scenario, can always recite exactly what page a medical tome has info about a certain ailment or treatment on, and can whip up advanced cures using even the most scarce of resources. Tekart tends to get along with people relatively well, though his mannerisms may seem eccentric to some, with intense hand gestures and analogies when he speaks. Ultimately he's your go-to person for medical information, but beyond that he leaves much to be desired.

PERSONALITY:
Nadia can be described as tough and cocky. Growing up under the hailstorm of insults like 'freak' and 'mutant' and the strict but loving upbringing of her own father, whatever soft or sensitive emotions she had left her quick. Instead she turned to humor and her own abilities to propel her forward. From a young age, she saw how grim everyone was and decided to have a bit of fun, even if her job was as dark as they get. She's quick to make a joke to lighten the mood or break the ice. She loves her job, she finds that it keeps her physically and mentally stimulated. Any insults that are thrown her way are scoffed at, as well as some criticisms too. She is, however, dedicated to the emperor, in awe of what he did for his species and what he's still doing, she knew that the only way she could return the favor was a life of service to the Imperium.

TIME WITH INQUISITOR
Four months, give or take.

Jiang Xue Wen, Autosavant and Martial Artist

NAME: Jiang Xue Wen

AGE: 53

GENDER: Male

PREVIOUS OCCUPATION: Imperial Autosavant

WARGEAR:
He carries on his person no real 'war' gear, taking with him a simple and unadorned staff of iron, and equipment pertinent to his occupation such as a wrist-mounted cogitator, a hip satchel full of quills and parchment and that's really about it. If he must then he will acquire himself a las-pistol or dagger of some form, but he isn't a warrior after all.

NOTABLE EVENTS:
Trained in the mountain monasteries of Yahui Primaris, a civilised planet known for its indigenous religious practises that include worshipping the God-Emperor as an all-knowing and enlightened being, the various cloisters specialise in taking young children and turning them into warrior-scholars capable not only of defending themselves but also of absorbing and regurgitating information with almost supernatural accuracy and recollection speed.

When one takes of of these pseudo-religious children and implants them with a subdermal cogitator, one that only increases the amount of information able to be stored and recollected, then truly they become a force of knowledge to be reckoned with.

The story of Jiang follows this path quite nicely; at the age of five he was taken from the streets of the planets capital as an orphaned child, the next three decades spent in training before he was 'gifted' his cogitator and allowed to proceed where soever he would in search of noesis and wisdom.

The three most notable events to ever take place in his life are the giving and implantation of his cogitator, an incident involving himself and twelve other men in which he became the only survivor (something which he never speaks of), and joining the retinue of an Emperor-blessed Inquisitor.

PERSONALITY:
Quiet and introspective, relaxed and calm (being very hard to actually rile up), obviously intelligent beyond the normal realms of an unaltered mind and capable of mental gymnastics that others cannot even comprehend. All-in-all he is a friendly, happy-go-lucky sort, a seeker of information and a curious soul to boot. Oddly enough though he is not much affected by violence or the prospect of conflict, although he will seek to avoid it if he can (the art of fighting without fighting...).

TIME WITH INQUISITOR
Pretty much only recently 'hired', his particular set of skills apparently of some use to the Inquisition and this Inquisitor in particular.
