Master Banys Cindershield

Inquisitors are granted innate divine powers that aid them in their fight against heresy. They are able to function as fearsome witch hunters, investigators and executors. Inquisitors often have eccentric personalities, odd habits, and strange worldviews, encouraged by the conditions of solitude they are usually forced to work in. Master Banys Cindershield is a member of the Solist Inquisition, a dwarf serving under Master-Inquisitor Roland at St. Cadogan's Cathedral in the plagueworn Godsgrove district. Although he has not earned the rank of Master-Inquisitor, he has gained many accolades in his fight against the Infernal Pact, a career stretching back to before the Fifth Crusade when he worked with Solveig, a time when even the Knight-Commander of the Dawn's Herald knew Banys, however briefly. Banys Cindershield arrived at the outskirts of Pont de Fleur seeking justice and the release of the Dawn's Herald's beautiful "hostages" - the ladies Calanthe and Eleanor. The party denied holding the women against their will and invited the inquisitors to spend the night at Castle Antenor. The inquisitors peaceably left the following morning, gravely warning the party about the Crusade although confiding in Lemuel his hope that his report will at least somewhat affect the following proceedings. Unfortunately, the following night, a member of the Dawn's Herald contracted the Rasping Pox, likely from contact with a member of the Inquisition carrying the infection. The initiate was quarantined, although the question of whether or not the spread of disease within Lagarde was halted was left in the air
