Untersuchung
The Untersuchung are a specialist society with the Reiksgard. Unlike the Templar Orders of Witch Hunters who seek out and destroy the agents of darkness on sight the Untersuchung are more circumspec and structured in their methods prefering to investigate cults and networks of subversive, illegal, treasonous and blasphemous activty, mostly in the army and the Imperial Court, but their cloak is spread wide.
Whilst officially part of the Reiksgard they tend to keep a low-profile and never wear uniform.
'If a witch hunter see's a hornet, he kills it. The Untersuchung follow it back to its nest and burn them all.'
The Untersuchung is a covert group based in a nondescript building in the chapter house. It investigates cults and networks of subversive or blasphemous activity within the Imperial Court or the Empire’s armies. The captain of the Untersuchung is Lieutenant Gottfried Braubach, a cynical man who has uncovered and destroyed numerous cults. He encourages his agents to infiltrate and monitor subversive forces, rather than stepping in to end them before getting to the root of the threat. The Untersuchung is secretive, in part because its agents operate in a morally grey area. They have extensive knowledge of the forces of Chaos and maintain a library of forbidden and dubious tomes. Untersuchung agents may embed within cults for many years, risking their own corruption. Braubach provides the Reiksguard Inner Circle with incomplete and occasionally false briefings on Untersuchung operations.
