==Inquisitor Noah Theron, Ordo Astartes==
{{Topquote|There have been times when Space Marines marched into the Imperial Palace as liberators, times when they were there as conquerors, and times when they were there as a voice of reason, Throne save us. Of course I’m here to oversee them. How could we not?|Noah Theron}}

While the Blue Daggers are neither an ancient nor a wealthy Chapter of the Space Marines, they require oversight as much as any other. The Ordo Astartes is a very small Ordo Minoris of the Holy Inquisition, and most of its members base from Terra, but a few enter the Ordo after beginning their careers in the Ordo Militarum or Hereticus. Most of the Ordo Astartes are paranoid wrecks, who see plots by the Imperial Fists and other Segmentum Solar Chapters to overthrow the Imperium’s current leaders behind every action they take. Noah Theron is not. He is a cold, stoic, and impossible-to-frighten sentry that stands behind the ranks of the Daggers, always watching for signs of rebellion or heresy.

So far, there has been little to see. All of the leaders of the Chapter for the first several hundred years were well-trusted members of the Novamarines, none of whom had any heretical inclinations. Since then, as the Daggers took over from their progenitors, the Chapter has remained focused on their role. After the Chapter fleet reached the size needed to dispatch their overstrength Chapter across the Sector, the Ordo Hereticus of the Sector took a scrutinizing look at the Chapter to ensure that they did not overstep their mandate, but so far, no such action has occurred. When the last two Novamarine veterans and last nineteen Angels of Fury veterans die, the Chapter will have to be examined again, but there is no telling when that could happen.

Inquisitor Theron is a skillful investigator, which is why some other Inquisitors have asked him to his face why he is wasting time watching Lord Arden and his Marines. He could do far more good, they say, keeping Coriolis and Cognomen on the right track. He replies that the Adeptus Astartes have undertaken so many dramatic roles in the history of the Imperium that to not scrutinize them would be dereliction of duty. He claims very few Imperial resources in his task, too, so his presence is no drain on the Sector Conclave’s assets. He has but two Throne Agents and a single tiny ship, a star yacht named ''No Second Chances'', and has no fleet or Guard regiments to his name. When he is not in Septiim, he is in the Delving or Maskos systems, keeping a keen eye on Dagger mission reports and the feeds of intelligence that flow into the ''Gargantuan''.

He rarely enters battle, but he carries a chainsword and plasma pistol as his weapons of duty and a ceremonial sabre of office, and wears custom carapace armor for protection. This is obviously not enough to kill a Space Marine, but he also has a digital melta he acquired from a Jokaero and a potent needle pistol he keeps concealed on his person.
