from Dance of the Moirae, Break the Circle
So began Karl Valten's military rise. Events that would shape and solidify the young man's convictions in that by diligently serving the Office of the Inquisitoriate, he was serving the Empire and upholding its precepts in a galaxy devoid of order and desperate for direction.
Well-versed in the Book of Indoctinations Inquisitor Valten perfomed his duty with a singular focus. It was this same personal discipline that saw him rise quickly above his peers and placed him at the helm of an elite special Branch of the Imperial Navy, The Project Nightmare.
The Nightmares are a special squad of Inquisitors, hand picked for their committment and outstanding skills of interrogation and counter-espionage expertise. A shadow unit, who exercised almost unlimited freedom in the execution of their duty, becoming the most feared members of the Imperial elite. A terror squad, responsible for the near complete eradication of force-users and their suspected allies.
