The Holy Orders of the Inquisition

The Holy Orders of the Inquisition are the supernatural arm of the Catholic Church. One of the oldest groups of monster hunters in the world, the Inquisition has been influencing both mundane and supernatural governments for centuries now. The Inquisition sees itself as the chosen guardians of mankind, tasked by God and the Pope to stand against the hordes of monsters and magicians who would lead the souls of humanity into Hell. The Inquisition has a very black-and-white view of the world, and they are not ones to make deals and alliances with those whom they see as tainted or damned, putting them at odds with the Veil Treaty and the supernatural world as a whole. This conflict has sometimes erupted into open warfare and conflict due to the Inquisitions' lack of subtlety, leading to the death of numerous innocents. These incidents have lead to an image of the Inquisition as being heartless, zealous monsters willing to go to any end to achieve their goals. Yet, their ranks contain some of the world's most talented exorcists, monster hunters, and occultists--men and women who have dedicated themselves to fighting against the darkness that plagues humanity, even if they mistake every shadow for the enemy. They are commanded by the Catholic Curia in the Vatican City, and much of their organization is centred in Rome.
