Alard Eiffer is a member of the Ordo Hereticus order of the Inquisition, who is known for his more radical methods. He was formerly a Sergeant in the Imperial Guard.

History
Alard Eiffer is a radical Inquisitor of the Ordo Hereticus, a former Sergeant in the Imperial Guard, he encountered Xenia Ryumin, who would soon become his mentor, upon the blasted world of Nuonov, where a large Chaos uprising was being fought by the Guard and, unbeknownst to most, the Inquisition. During the fighting, Alard was sent into the bloody melee alongside his squad. Their casualty rate was high, but they had trained for this moment, and with las-bolt and chainsword they fought their way through enemy lines into the temple which had been erected in the middle of the desert in the planet’s Northern hemisphere. The fighting became sparser here, but the foes fought with twice the conviction, and the whole squad fell save for Alard and one of his gunners, Nogai Feist. They fought to the centre of the temple complex, and as they started to reach the middle they began to witness more and more terrible things, as the corrupting energies of the Warp seemed to flow within the walls themselves. They approached the altar at which a being seemed to be reading, although there was no book. His chants were guttural and harsh, but they seemed to stir at some hidden part of Alard, something that until now had not been touched yet. The being saw the 2 Guardsmen approach and turned to face them. It was neither human nor alien and looked upon the men with pure malice upon its face. Nogai opened fire with the heavy bolter he was dragging behind him, but soon ditched it and grabbed his knife. Even as he did so his neck was snapped instantly, and his corpse was frozen in place. Alard saw red, and shrieked and screamed for Nogai to come back, before he launched himself into brutal close-quarters combat with the thing, yelling all the while. As he did so, Xenia Ryumin, an Inquisitor of the Ordo Hereticus who was searching for the leader of the cult, as to decapitate their head, ran in and fired upon the cult leader. Alard sliced him to pieces, his chainsword finally tasting the blood its machine spirit desired. The Inquisitor was impressed by Alard, a seemingly non-corrupted individual, who had entered this temple of doom, encountered its maker and left with his sanity intact. He was reported to be “Missing in Action” and returned to Terra upon a dreaded Black Ship, to restrain any possible corruption or latent powers. He underwent screening programs upon the Throne World and was found to be miraculously taint-free. He was employed as a member of Xenia’s retinue, and his skill at leading close quarters missions was soon valued amongst the team. He was a member of Xenia’s retinue for many years, eventually becoming her Interrogator, standing by her side through dozens of missions. She was slaughtered by a Greater Daemon of Slaanesh, a Keeper of Secrets, and yet again Alard was able to escape. He rushed to Terra as fast as he could, leaving the rest of his allies stranded upon the planet. He reported his mentor’s death, and after 2 full months of mourning, he emerged, taking the mantle of Inquisitor of the Ordo Hereticus, and crusading through the galaxy in search of taint and corruption wherever it may be. It has been almost 30 years since he fought the cult on Nuonov, and although his body weakens with each passing year, his spirit and his mind burn on, bright lights against the darkness of an uncaring galaxy. He currently only has a small retinue, a former Tempestus Scion, a disgraced but loyal Ecclesiarchal Priest and the sole heir of a large noble house.

Personality
Alard is very radical compared to most Inquisitors, who doesn't mind using xenos or heretic weapons to achieve his goals. He has a fiery temper, and his tactics match this fact.
