Yes and No. The Inquisition is the living embodiment of "wheels within wheels." There's no official bureaucracy to the Inquisition itself (unlike, Emperor forbid, the Administratum, which probably has a Department of Redundancy Department, whose sole purpose is finding doubled departments and consolidating them into the Department of Redundancy Department's Consolidation Department).
Be that as it may, there's a very strong social hierarchy, considering in the broadest sense you have Acolytes, Interrogators (technically an Acolyte, but on the way to being Inquisitor), Inquisitors, and then Inquisitor Lords. And then you have the leadership of each Ordo in a sub-sector, all of whom speak to their respective leaders at the Sector Level. There's probably something at the Segmentum Level, too, since there's always a representative of the Inquisition incorporated into the Lords of Terra, and he has to come from SOMEWHERE.
Point being! Inquisitor Badasious might actually be kept down by the man not in the sense of "That's two demerits for striking an Acolyte, four for an Unauthorized Exterminatus, and docked pay for that wrecked Battlecruiser," but in the sense of "Those cockmongling assholes didn't invite me to their Feast of the Emperor's Ascension party! I'll show them!"
Still, I like the idea of a drunk-with-power Inquisitor who winds up becoming something the Acolytes have to either defeat (and thus not get killed by the Inquisition for aiding and abetting a known Renegade), or help (since there's no way any other Inquisitor will touch them. If they'll rat on their own MASTER, who knows to what depths of cravenness they'll sink?). |
