Ordo Xenos Inquisitor.
Ashfall Rain grew up in a Ratskin Tribe on Necromunda. His psychic gifts manifested at an early age, and he was apprenticed to the tribe shaman, while serving as a brave in the tribe. His Ratskin tribe chanced upon a Genestealer Cult ambush on Ordo Xenos Inquisitor Jun Lee and his retinue. Inquisitor Lee had been investigating a Genestealer Cult, and the Patriarch had sent all of the Cult to deal with him and his Inquisitorial and Enforcer entourage. The Ratskin tribe heard the commotion and intervened just after the Genestealers sprung their trap. The odds did not look good for Inquisitor Lee, as most of his team had already been killed. The fight was a bloodbath. Of the 30 operatives and enforcers Lee has brought, only Lee, Rain, and the Enforcer officer Duncan survived, all severely wounded. Lee lost a leg, Rain an eye and an arm, and Duncan a lung.
Lee saw the psychic potential in the young shaman and Rain became Lee’s first acolyte. Rain distinguished himself during a decade of service, before being promoted to full Inquisitor himself. He has remained a close ally to Lee ever since and is investigating his mentor’s death in the Virago sub-sector.
Both Lee and Rain lean towards the ideals of the Xenos Hybris, beleiving that Mankind must learn from the achievements and mistakes of alien races, and that only by cooperation and mutual understanding can both human and alien survive the galaxy’s myriad threats. Through this perspective, Rain has become an ally to Inquisitor Kyria Draxus. He was tasked by her to investigate the Pariah Nexus close to Naogeddon, and is slowly working his way there. He has chartered the help of Rogue Trader Ymelia Proudheart.
