Alabaster Inquisitor

Fear. For the longest time, that seemed to be the only feeling I could understand.
There was agony, and there was bliss, with everything in between; these feelings were so painfully fleeting.
Even now, I close my eyes and see the white-hot blades rending my flesh, and the warm light that mended me.
Masters of duress, they drew from me secrets unknown even to my own heart.

— Released prisoner of the Alabaster Hand

Alabaster Inquisitor is a rank within the The Alabaster Hand's Military division. Known simply as Inquisitors within the order, this rank is reserved for only the most shrewd and cunning of interrogators.

Order in the Kingdom

Mind Games

Inquisitors within the Alabaster Hand are often skilled in several disciplines such as combat, magic, and medicines, and make great use of their knowledge while performing their duties.
The primary responsibility of these inquisitors is to preach law to the populace, and to set the tone for "proper" societal order and function. Those who choose to openly stray too far from the vision of the Alabaster Hand are taken as prisoners, to be subjected to torture, reprogramming, or even death. These inquisitors know well the limits of the mind and body and are more than able to push both without overstepping the line.
Most of the populace does not witness the cruelty of these inquisitors, unaware of what fate befalls prisoners of the Hand.

Truly, the question of the hour pertains to how one may reinvent duress as an art form.

Two Sides

The cruel nature of these inquisitors is largely shielded from the general populace. In the public eye, these inquisitors are preachers of the law and serve to set the tone for law & order within their society. Behind closed doors, however, they are the nightmare of any criminals chosen to answer for their crimes.
