Inquisitor Jaq Draco is the main protagonist of the The Inquisition War book trilogy from Warhammer 40.000.
Bio[edit | edit source]
Jaq Draco was a perfectly ordinary Inquisitor of the Ordo Malleus, doing perfectly regular Inquisitor stuff (i.e. rooting out a Genestealer uprising) on the world of Stalinvast. Then he got contacted by a strange man that LARPed as an Eldar Harlequin, and before Jaq quite knew what was happening, he was drawn into a galactic-scale conspiracy involving him, the Harlequin, and a many-tentacled warp entity only known the Hydra.
Draco is notable in so far as that he and the book stars in are the very first Warhammer 40.000 novel to ever be published, and comes with all sorts of early edition oddities like the Squat Engineer Grimm or Jaq sharing a bed with Meh'Lindi - his personal Callidus Assassin. It also is notable in that author Ian Watson is chiefly known for writing erotica, and probably had to be held at gunpoint so he wouldn't turn every scene into a sex scene. Not that he didn't try.
In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]
Being of Ordo Malleus stock, Jaq Draco doesn't particularly like it when daemons breach into realspace. He especially doesn't like it when they show up in a wrestling show based on Holy Terra itself. So when Slaanesh and its fellows came over for a surprise party during 8chanmania XCII, Draco sent out Inquisitor Lancor to find out just how bad things were.
To Jaq's dismay, they were bad. But not quite bad enough to justify a personal intervention. He was about to call in some Space Marines to clear the whole mess up, but just then, Lancor informed him he suspected a Genestealer infiltration was taking place atop of the Chaos incursion. And just like that, Jaq's bolt pistol went off. He immediately decided to investigate matters personally, only accompanied by his bodyguard assassin.
While spending most of this reconnaissance mission undercover, Jaq and Meh'Lindi eventually were spotted by the 80s Noise Marine, and thrown into a desperate fight against him and a horde of gibbering cultists. They nearly would have died then and there, had it not been for the timely intervention of Captain Indrick Boreale and a full company of his Blood Ravens Space Marines.
Alas, far worse than mere daemons stalked the halls of the mania. Just when the combined forces of Inquisitor and the Force Commander had weathered the first wave of the Chaos assailants, they themselves were assailed by an actual ghost. Which is to say, Default-Chan under a blanket. This so thoroughly spooked Draco that he immediately teleported back to the ship of Admiral Spire waiting in orbit, and called down an Exterminatus upon the whole damn place. Moral of the story: Don't spook Inquisitors.
