The Inquisition (Inquisición) is an organization in the world of Arknights. They are the de facto governing body of Iberia who are best known for persecuting the Aegir "Islanders" for their supposed connection with the Seaborn and Church of the Deep.
Background[]
The Inquisition was previously known as the Church of Iberia, the Iberian branch of the Lateran Church that was reorganized under the instruction of Saint Carmen and the other eight Saints and three Bishops following the Profound Silence.[1] The Church of Iberia's relationship with the Lateran Church has already been strained prior to the Silence as the Lateran Pope is not interested in Iberia's affair and as Iberia rose into prominence during its Golden Age. At one point, they even attempted to install their own Pope until this was foiled due to the Silence as Carmen firmly believed that it was not the right time to earn such title.[2]
The Inquisition's main duty is to preserve order in Iberia while defending their settlements from the Seaborn. However, not all of the Iberians welcome them; some accuses the Inquisitors for neglecting them from their survival needs, while others hate them for arresting Aegirs without any reasons.
Instead of using the Sankta firearms, the Inquisitors are often armed with a rapier representing Iberia's force and a lantern representing Iberia's light and hope, and both symbolizes the Iberians' self-determination. The lantern is also an Originium Arts Unit that could repel the Seaborn with luminal Arts. In addition, the Inquisitors sometimes make use of a handcannon which can wreak havoc in a large area but are very difficult to control.
