Achilleas Scalander from Rogue trader

[fenlirias]

Interrogator Achilleas Scalander, the apprentice of Lord Inquisitor Heinrix van Calox

I noticed that people get this line at the start of act 4 and think Heinrix is calling RT a liar. This is not the case.

Spoilers for act 3 obviously.

His "Lies" is the response when RT tells on the bridge everyone that Achilleas was a traitor. It is only available if you did not have Yrliet at the start of act 3.

He is actually bitter about the lies Achilleas told him, that he as an experienced agent and Interrogator and Achilleas "boss" did not recognize that Achilleas was betraying them, lying to his face.

In Commorragh you can (just for testing purpose, I would never pick that in my real run) call him out while talking to Achilleas/Wrack:

With Yrliet in the retinue he thinks she is lying for most of the time when she tries to tell him the truth about Achilleas.

Only if you have both Yrliet and Marazhai you get after the third arena fight the conversation where he realizes that this is the truth and he is clearly shocked.

You do not get his "Lies" response on the bridge if you have Yrliet because then you can only tell everyone that Yrliet was to blame for the abduction. No word about Achilleas. But then you get the trial with Yrliet, where Heinrix acknowledges that Achilleas got his punishment.

With Achilleas as Wrack you also get a bit conversation:

So, if you do not have Yrliet but Achilleas as the one bringing you to the trap it is easy to miss (you need to have been to the anatomical opera to get Heinrix and then talk to the Wrack/Achilleas).

Heinrix is angry not just with Achilleas and Yrliet/Marazhai of course (in the other version) but with himself that he failed to see the betrayal.

Edit:

I forgot to add, I find it interesting that Heinrix, who is so very much controlled and a bastion of strong-will let's himself go there with openly showing his bitterness when he says "Lies". Commorragh really affected him. When people say he comes out of Commorragh fine, this is not true. He even says he might never get his nerve endings healed but aside from the body injuries I would argue that he is clearly not fine mentally as well.

how do we feel about wrack achilleas finding heinrix having escaped and trying to protect him before being forced to give him back, which is where heinrix's refusal of being tricked again stems from

Some warm up sketches of a couple Rogue Trader dudes I can’t stop thinking about

[vossprime]

“Could you still want me?” Heinrix stares back, caught, as the lamp above becomes a sudden headlight. Achilleas and Heinrix escape from a dinner party to find some room to breathe.

some quiet & venerating Achilleas/Heinrix with a healthy helping of smut.

looking at the best person in the world

I have made it to Dargonus and I am picking up Achilleas and taking him with me. He's young enough to be Confessor's grandson. Mine now.
