Inquisitor Name Generator

Inquisitor names in Warhammer 40,000 sound like they were lifted from a baroque European court and then left to rust for ten millennia. Canon agents such as Gregor Eisenhorn, Gideon Ravenor, Amberley Vail, Fyodor Karamazov and Torquemada Coteaz set the template: a weighty Old Earth given name (Latin, Germanic, Slavic or Biblical) attached to a terse, consonant-heavy surname. The result reads as a real person rather than a fantasy title, which matters because inquisitors are characters first and instruments of the Imperium second.

The names here follow that pattern and add the trappings a tabletop or RPG character sheet usually wants: the Inquisitor and Lord Inquisitor honorifics, an Ordo affiliation (Hereticus for witch hunters, Malleus for daemon hunters, Xenos for alien hunters, plus minor ordos like Sicarius and Chronos), and the kind of epithet other agents mutter behind a puritan's back. Most entries are original; the handful of canon names are included so you can check your own against Black Library tone.

When you choose, think about faction. Puritans suit severe, saint-like names (Ignatius Pell, Magdalena Sorrow); radicals and Xanthites wear stranger, more ornamental ones (Hieronymus Vastch, Balthazar Kroon). A surname that could belong to a minor noble house or a hive-city bureaucrat always lands better than one that sounds like a sword.
