Lord Captain Tollman


Information Known by Arkangel Society

Tollman has been operating in and out of Arkangel for some time now, having an association with the fortress-port that goes back even before the onset of the Hypatian Crusade. It is widely rumoured that the Lord Captain was once an Inquisitor and has had something of rocky history with the powers that were on Arkangel. Tollman is well known for keeping strange company and for being a collector of stranger artefacts. Known to be an expert in numerous occult matters and disciplines, Lord Captain Tollman is often hired by other Dynasties in order to assist with the resolution of various unconventional problems. Supposedly, Tollman undertakes some sort of obscure duty linked to the protection of Arkangel and is well compensated by the station for such.

Quotes

  • "I know men like you, the way you know men like me and I know you would not have done this if you believed there was the least chance of it coming back on you. Well guess what? It has come back on you like the hand of Him on the Throne." - Tollman to a suspect during interrogation

  • "One of my oldest and only surviving friends, of Lord-Captain Ambrose Tollman I say only this: you will rarely meet a Champion of the Most-Holy God-Emperor so brutalised by tribulations and terrors, and yet also so undefeated by them.

  • "Terrifying fellow! suppose that makes sense though given his life, still, I wouldn't want to cross wits or weapons with him." - Cartwright
  • "I'm just sayin, I called it. Only met him a couple times when it happened, but they said he was going psyker - which, I like the bloke and all, usually, but that was fuckin' karma - and right away I was like 'telepath'. He's just the type, y'know?" - Spider

  • "An interesting man with an interesting past, though I must admit I care less about that than I do about what he intends to do from here on in." - Lord-Captain Sireena Jocasta of the Blood of House Cerastes
  • "In another life he might have been a true enemy. Lucky for us both we are not living our old lives." - Arkady Borovich
