When heresy threatens to unravel worlds, when cultists dare to summon daemonic horrors, and when xenos corruption jeopardizes the realm of Humanity, Imperial Agents step from the shadows to restore order. This broad term includes not only the formidable Inquisitors and their diverse retinues but also fearsome Assassins, daring Rogue Traders, zealous Imperial priests, and other specialized operatives. Some of these agents embed themselves within conventional Imperial forces, either to pursue their own objectives or to contribute to significant battles.
