Right so I was reading up on secret police and conspiracies and came up with an idea for a faction of the imperium. The secret police!
This fluff was written in like 15 minutes so its really basic and only has the basic idea with some really rough and horrible text, but I'd like to know what you guys think of this!
I'm planning on doing a whole converting army of these guys (some day).
The Order of the Concealed Blade
The Order of the Concealed Blade is a the lesser known ordo of the inquisition. It is small in size and works in the shadows of the Imperium. The Concealed Blade has no one single purpose, but instead has many secular assignments, and is called for only when the job at hand won’t fit any of the other ordos of the inquisition. One could say the Concealed Blade is the secret police of the Imperium. The Order of the Concealed Blade was found during the Age of Apostasy, shortly after the foundation of the Ordo Hereticus. Since then the Concealed Blade has served the Imperium in countless covert operations such as smear campaigns, assassinations, numerous different investigations and its operatives have seen action in many forms of guerrilla warfare.
The Concealed Blades organization is a mystery to everyone. Only its most high ranking members have access to the factions files and have permission to see detailed information of its operatives. The only times when outsiders gain access to information about the Concealed Blade is when the ordo is working with another faction of the Imperium. Even then the Concealed Blade keeps mostly to itself and works with others only when needed.
Recruitment for the Concealed Blade is usually done in an extremely secretive fashion. An operative of the Concealed Blade infiltrates a friendly unit and seeks out promising individuals. When found, these individuals are captured and trained into operatives for the Concealed Blade. Another form of recruiting is when children are taken from their homes and are then trained for service from a very early age.
The Order of the Concealed Blade deals with mostly internal affairs, but units and single operatives are often sent to the fighting front of humanity for special missions. At “home”, most of the Concealed Blades missions have something to do with traitors, agitators and other enemies of the Emperor. One of the most common assignments is smearing the enemy by terrorist activity in the name of the enemy. For example bomb attacks etc. would be done in the name of an activist/enemy group for propaganda purposes and to give the Imperial forces the right to use lethal force.
