Hello! I have a few questions about Cassian, if you don't mind. Firstly, I'm not sure if you mentioned which ordos of the Inquisition he belonged to?
Secondly, how would you describe his fighting style? In a short description, he looks like a fierce melee fighter, but it's interesting to know the details.
Finally, he seems to be somewhat passive-responsive. Is it correct to assume that he is more interested in the combat part of the inquisitor's work and does not interfere in the political side?
- ordo.
he’s definitely Ordo Hereticus. (i knoow, boring option, but he needs to come into conflict with a setting in the story.) his background is tied to a catastrophic encounter with internal threats (rogue elements, cults, etc.), so his focus is firmly on rooting out heresy and mutation within the Imperium.
more under cut!
2. fighting style.
ur right, he’s a fierce melee combatant. 🔪 think coiled predator: unnerving stillness that explodes into sudden, precise, and brutally efficient close-quarters violence with his blade. it’s less about dueling finesse and more about swift, decisive termination, often using his masked presence and abruptness as psychological weapons.
3. political involvement.
i’d say he’s selectively engaged rather than purely passive or a political mastermind. he’s not driven by ambition for influence within the ordos, but by a pragmatic desire for results and stability. he’ll engage in politics if it’s the most efficient path to his objective (eliminating a threat, restoring order), but he likely views combat as a more direct and often necessary tool when investigation or subtle pressure fails. he’s probably impatient with bureaucracy that hinders effective action, which lends him well to working with RT’s like Aura.
he’s definitely a ‘results-oriented’ kind of Inquisitor, where the 'result’ is often a very quiet, very still room after a brief period of intense activity.
