The Inquisition as a sect, took its cue from the Spanish Inquisition. They charge themselves with the burden of rooting out the heretics and Infernalists from their ranks. They have had tremendous success in the past decade. With resemblences to the mortal counterpart, once an accusation has been made, it is highly unlikely it will be denied. This faction also makes use of the torturous means in comparison to the mortal inquisition; at least, as comparable as vampire and mortal may be.
All members of the Inquisition are respected and trusted (and powerful...) members of the Sabbat. Cells of these Inquisitors travel to Sabbat held territories , holding trial and delivering punishment against the accused.
Though it has been successful in weeding out the Infernalists, it has gained a great reputation for being cruel. This comes from their means of interrogation and punishments. (They have been known do things including, but by no means limited to, cutting their victims, delivering insects under the flesh, or flaying and burning them.) Other Sabbat indulge the Inquisitors, fearing the risk of their own accusations should they try to interfere.
The Inquisitors like to conduct their business unannounced. They prefer this method, because should the perpetrators know of their coming, would hide trying to avoid their fate. Upon arrival, the Inquisitors will question everyone, from probationary pack members to cardinals. Any evidence against any Cainite is considered. (Simple accusations are not grounds for Final Death, evidence must accompany the accusation.)
Inquisitors have harsh demeanors and tehy don't hesitate to use intimidation in thier proceedings. For all the good they do, the Inquisitor is regarded with respectful fear; all Cainites know their very unlife rests in the hands of these individuals.
A rumored antagonism exists between the Inquisitors and the Black Hand. Membership in one, forbids the membership in the other. Some contribute this rivalry to the recent success of the Inquistor and the growing complaints of the Hand's impotence.
