Belongs to Ocularian faction of Calixis sector Inquisition.
“Fate is what weak willed call it, when they have lost control over their endowed destiny.”
Inquisitor Grand-Master Aurora Orlova is a formidable and enigmatic figure within the Ordo Hereticus of the Imperium of Man. As the heir of a long lineage of Inquisitors, she carries the weight of her family’s legacy and believes her ancestor to be one of the first Inquisitors ordained by the Emperor himself. This ancestry instills in her a deep sense of duty and purpose, as well as a profound understanding of the Emperor’s vision for humanity.
Orlova possesses a strong will and an unwavering determination to protect mankind from the perils of Chaos. She firmly believes that fate is merely a concept used by the weak-willed to rationalize their lack of control over their destinies. To her, the only way to secure humanity’s survival is to take action and shape the future through her own efforts.
The black ship “Orlov Principle” is both a symbol of her authority and a tool for her investigations. It allows her to travel across the stars, carrying out her duties as an Inquisitor and unraveling the mysteries of the galaxy. In her possession, she also has a collection of prophecies passed down from her family elders. These prophecies provide her with valuable insights and guide her actions as she navigates the complex web of threats facing the Imperium.
Orlova’s ultimate goal is both audacious and controversial. Recognizing the deteriorating state of the Emperor’s mind and the fragmentation of His will, she foresees a future where His will finally breaks. Understanding the catastrophic consequences this would have for humanity, she devises a plan to avert the impending doom. Her intention is to sacrifice the Emperor, allowing His soul to be reborn as the Star Child, an Alpha+ psyker she envisions as the successor to the Emperor’s mantle.
This plan showcases Orlova’s deep understanding of the warp and her willingness to make difficult choices for the sake of humanity’s survival. While her methods may be seen as heretical by some, she believes that the rebirth of the Emperor as the Star Child-Emperor will lead humanity directly in its struggle against Chaos. Her actions are driven by a sense of duty, sacrifice, and an unwavering faith in the Emperor’s ultimate vision for mankind.
Inquisitor Grand-Master Aurora Orlova is a complex character, embodying the duality of her role as both a champion of the Imperium and a seeker of forbidden knowledge. Her determination, strategic thinking, and unyielding belief in the Emperor’s cause make her a formidable force within the Inquisition, shaping the fate of humanity in the grim darkness of the far future.
