Reasonable Authority Figure: While she initially has little patience and pleasantness for Eisenhorn, after he proves himself to be a capable investigator and demonstrable enemy of Chaos, she becomes an ally of his. She even helps him escape Cadia and the local Knight Templar Puritan Inquisitor, even though it would put her under severe scrutiny. Orszak Trzech Króli | Warszawa". Orszak.org. 2013-01-01.

In Koine Greek these are chrysós ( χρυσός), líbanos ( λίβανος) and smýrna ( σμύρνα). Many different theories of the meaning and symbolism of the gifts have been brought forward. While gold is fairly obviously explained, frankincense, and particularly myrrh, are more obscure. See the previous section for who gave which.

Unexpected Character: He originally appeared in Gaunt's Ghosts First and Only, but he shows up in the Eisenhorn Trilogy. Eisenhorn's series explains Heldane's strange equine appearance in First and Only. The "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue is a Call-Forward to his death in First and Only. Master Swordsman: He grows into this trope over the course of Malleus after he starts using Barbarisater. Big Bad: As the ringleader of House Glaw’s conspiracy to obtain the Necroteuch, he is arguably the main villain of Xenos. A Death in the Limelight: The short story ''The Strange Death of Titus Endor''. Titus is pursuing a deviant criminal. In the middle of the story, his "Interrogator" reminds Titus that he has been a full Inquisitor for some years, Titus has been dismissed from the Inquisition for some time, and the Titus already caught the man he is pursuing. The narration continues with Titus dismissing these claims outright, and becomes increasingly disjointed as he pursues his "case," [[spoiler: as he's riddled with alcoholism and what's essentially dementia. The Syrian King Seleucus I Nicator is recorded to have offered gold, frankincense and myrrh (among other items) to Apollo in his temple at Didyma near Miletus in 288/7 BC, [56] and this may have been the precedent for the mention of these three gifts in Gospel of Matthew ( 2:11). It was these three gifts, it is thought, which were the chief cause for the number of the Magi becoming fixed eventually at three. [57]

Amplifier Artifact: In Malleus, Eisenhorn commissions the creation of a runestaff for this purpose. With it, he can briefly increase the strength of his psychic abilities to Alpha-plus levels. Humanoid Abomination: He’s a Daemonhost, a Daemonic entity of the warp bound into a host body, so it comes with the territory. Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Given that his competency was in charm and charisma, one might not think too highly of him, but this goes with becoming an Inquisitor. Titus has considerable skill in observation and infiltration that would be less obvious than his first impression. Still, his charisma could only carry him so far before his merit as an Inquisitor would determine his career trajectory.

Willing Channeler: He forces Cherubael to possess him near the end of Hereticus, keeping the daemon contained long enough to prepare a proper vessel for it. The strain of holding Cherubael inside himself this way kills Aemos. Christus Mansionem Benedicat «Catholic Sensibility". Catholicsensibility.wordpress.com. 2006-01-05 . Retrieved 2012-01-12. The phrase "from the east" ( ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν, apo anatolon), more literally "from the rising [of the sun]", is the only information Matthew provides about the region from which they came. The Parthian Empire, centered in Persia, stretched from eastern Syria to the fringes of India. Though the empire was tolerant of other religions, its dominant religion was Zoroastrianism, with its priestly magos class. [33] The Smart Guy: The most learned and intelligent member of Eisenhorn's retinue, thanks in no small part to a meme-virus that compels him to learn as much information as possible, no matter how trivial. His primary role is to assist Eisenhorn's investigations by sifting through data and conducting research.Caspar ( / ˈ k æ s p ər/ or / ˈ k æ s p ɑːr/; [22] also Gaspar, Jaspar, Jaspas, Gathaspa, [21] [23] and other variations);
