Everything

An Inquisitor’s Iron Reliquary is their badge of office, and each one is bestowed directly by the Regent. Reliquaries also serve as a holy symbol on which Inquisitors (and subjects) must swear to the truth (though it has no capacity to enforce that oath). Physically, a reliquary is a stylized version of the Sabbat symbol, forged of iron. It can be held and wielded like a dagger, and often incorporates sharp spikes or cutting surfaces.

There’s an old urban legend among the Sabbat that an Inquisitor was discovered to be secretly an infernalist. Shocking! …but, while possible, unlikely.

Inquisitors are constantly monitored by Watchers, and the Inquisition is overseen by the agents of the Regent. It would be nearly impossible for one to become infernal, or maintain a relationship with a demonic creature, without being discovered and destroyed by their fellows or the Regent’s agents. The Inquisition also maintains records, blood, and logs of every active Inquisitor at the Santo Oficio to ensure this does not happen. The Sect is well aware that Inquisitors have the most knowledge of such things, and keep a constant eye that such knowledge does not become practical application.

In some chronicles, or for some Inquisitors, the Iron Reliquary may further grant its owner some of the powers given by True Faith. Each reliquary is unique, and reliquaries of slain Inquisitors are destroyed. The Regent handles each reliquary before conferring it upon an Inquisitor, so the connection to the Regent can be sensed by Auspex in order to prove the Iron Reliquary isn’t a fake.
