The trick is showing you something that makes you babble the information Ifind most useful.”  \n–Interrogator Klasser  \nYou hold in your hands a companion to Ascension, a  \nDArk Heresy supplement. Ascension allows you to  \ntake your characters into the highest halls of power and influence. This companion is designed to give players and gamemasters more perspective on characters and new options for character creation.  \nAn account of the ascension of Inquisitor Starkh gives players and gamemasters a sample Ascension character. This provides a reference for the stories that can be told through Throne Agents as they begin their new journeys into the grim darkness of the 41st millennium.  \nWhen preparing characters for an Ascension campaign a player must give thought to the background, skills, talents and history for a person who has become a Throne Agent. The Ascension book presents two character creation options. This companion gives a third that is designed for faster character generation, allowing players to jump into a game quickly.  \nLastly this companion presents a discussion on the process of mind cleansing. Presented in THe inquisiTor’s HAnDbook, mind cleansing is a powerful player and GM tool for telling deep stories that unfold over time. This section presents additional information on how the mind cleansed are viewed by the Inquisition.  \nHeed The Higher Call  \n3  \nHeed The Higher Call  \npteriythislacEoenotsnsfothththa,cvosue1, ngIsyquisitorsceOrds Inos fJhasenreorre’uis Icallsiqned losingoan,eStset dr Ihartedf-sierorrtgrc-,odttnn,,tecnitteneonms’ ,,tfeceDoseo,,omo  \n5  \nHeed Higher Call  \nI stilrecalthat event with eidetic clarity.
