Gregor Eisenhorn: How an Inquisitor Falls

Gregor Eisenhorn begins as a committed Inquisitor determined to defend the Imperium of Man from heresy, daemons, and corruption, but his career gradually forces him across boundaries he once believed absolute. This episode explores Eisenhorn’s progression from relatively orthodox investigator to a radical willing to use forbidden knowledge, dangerous allies, and Warp-tainted tools against greater threats. Listeners will learn about his investigations, companions, enemies, and the compromises that accumulate as each emergency appears to justify another exception. The episode does not reduce his story to a sudden fall into evil. Instead, it examines how necessity, pride, grief, loyalty, and confidence in one’s own judgment can transform principles over time. Eisenhorn remains convinced that his actions protect humanity even as other Inquisitors conclude that he has become part of the danger. His story is one of Warhammer 40,000’s strongest examinations of radicalization inside a system where nearly any method can be defended by claiming the alternative was worse.
