Phoenix Inquisitors

The Inquisitors are an effort by the Council of Five to combat maho wherever it may arise. The position was originally created to combat the office of the Jade Champion, which the Masters saw as an affront to their control of all things magical, but has proven useful to the Masters over the centuries. (Phoenix p. 19)

The Inquisitors answer only to the Council of Five or the Emperor, although they often work closely with the Kuni Witch Hunters. The goal of the Inquisitors is to find and destroy relics, users, and cells of maho and maho-tsukai. They are brutally efficient and effective in their work, especially given their Imperial mandate. And in matters like these, even the Emperor himself defers to the advice of the Elemental Masters. (Phoenix p. 29)
