Ordo Malleus Name Generator

The Ordo Malleus is the daemon-hunting branch of the Inquisition in Warhammer 40,000, and its Inquisitors carry names that sound like they were pulled from a Gothic cathedral's ledger. Games Workshop's canon examples set the tone: Torquemada Coteaz, Gregor Eisenhorn, Fyodor Karamazov, Bronislaw Czevak, Hector Rex, Helynna Valeria. The pattern is a High Gothic or old European given name (Latin, German, Slavic or Spanish in flavour) followed by a hard, memorable surname, and the whole thing prefixed by the rank of Inquisitor or Lord Inquisitor.

Ordo Malleus names lean darker and more austere than the Ordo Hereticus or Xenos. Surnames often carry a hint of steel, stone or judgement (Eisenhorn means iron horn; Coteaz echoes Torquemada's Inquisition), and many Inquisitors add an epithet earned in the field: the Unyielding, Warpbane, Daemonsbane, of Titan. Below the Inquisitor sit ranks worth using for a warband: Interrogator, Explicator and Acolyte, plus Grand Master for those who sit in the Ordo's highest councils alongside the Grey Knights.

The names below start with canonical figures, then offer well over a hundred new Inquisitors, retinue members and epithet forms, all built on the same Gothic phonetics so they slot straight into a Dark Heresy party, a Kill Team or a homebrew Inquisitorial army list.
