| - Governor DeLacre was originally spirited out from the quarantined worlds on orders of Inquistor Andarion. The formerly-prosperous frontier world of Kaggeran was sliding into xenos heresy long before the Achilus Crusade arrived, and it seems the bloody war in the Canis Salient proved too great a temptation for DeLacre. Under his corrupt regime, weapons and supplies were funneled to both sides of the conflict, DeLacre pocketing profi ts from stalwart crusaders and secessionist revolutionaries alike. Such crimes would be worthy of a public and grisly death as a lesson to others, and Inquisitor Andarion had gathered evidence to make it so. However, as events transpired, Ebongrave’s blockade came into place and prevented Inquisitor Andarion moving in time to stop the whole Kaggeran system slipping into anarchy. The Inquisitor decided DeLacre could now serve a more useful purpose alive, revealing the extent of his contacts on Kaggeran, than dead at the hands of Ebongrave’s purity platoons. More importantly, Arman had come to believe that the web of intrigue stretched further, with the nearby systems of Argoth and Rheelas also implicated. To forestall any argument Andarion staged a fake execution for the benefit of Lord Commander Ebongrave before transporting the distressed but very much alive DeLacre to Erioch. A prisoner like DeLacre would normally be kept in the Tower of Brass, but Inquisitor Andarion petitioned for the xenophile governor to be imprisoned with the other alien scum in the Xenos Bestiarium so that he could ponder his choices in allegiance. The corrupt governor of Kaggeran is still alive because he represents the only solid link the Ordo Xenos has found to The Guiding Hand, a wide-ranging conspiracy of secret Tau supporters among the Imperium’s elite in the Jericho Reach. DeLacre is being slowly and carefully wrung dry for every scrap of information he can give. Some of the names emerging are highly disturbing to see and the Offi cio Assassinorum has already been alerted. Inquisitor Andarion’s decision to keep DeLacre locked up in the Xenos Bestiarium may in fact be motivated by a lack of trust in his Inquisitorial colleagues and their retinues.
