An Inquisitor of the Templar Order
Inquisitors are a type of enforcer found in many organizations across Sanctuary's history.
Lore[]
Groups that utilized Inquisitors include(d) the following:
Cathedral of Light[]
Inquisitors served as the basic infantry of the Cathedral of Light. Well trained and equipped, Inquisitors sometimes served as bodyguards for high-ranking officials such as Master Inquisitors. They wore glistening silver robes and breastplates with a golden sunburst that marked their station. All wore crested helmets.[1]
After re-creation of the Cathedral, the Inquisitors were mostly (if not only) women.[citation needed]
Coven[]
Inquisitor Hamath and the Grand Inquisitor bear the title of an inquisitor, focusing on torture and interrogations.
Burning Hells[]
Inquisitor Sebacious is a Terror Demon, the ancient torturer.
Templar Order[]

Templar Order Inquisitors are fought in "The Templar's Reckoning" follower quest in Templar Outpost. They are identical to Westmarch Soldiers in terms of abilities, and are armed either with spears or with crossbows.
As of patch 2.2.0, one may also encounter a Templar scouting party (busy abducting villagers) in the Weeping Hollow, during the event named Templar Inquisition.
