Overview
These Imperial titles were established by a vote of the Imperial Senate in Summer 379YE. There are eight virtue inquisitors in total - one for each of the virtue assemblies, and one for the assembly of the Way. The virtue inquisitors were established as part of a larger plan to establish an inquisitorial court.
Responsibilities
The intention of the Senate is that the Virtue inquisitors would form an Inquisitorial court in conjunction with the Imperial Inquisitor, to oversee inquistions and ensure their accountability and transparency. This inquisitorial court is also expected to work with the Imperial militia and the Imperial Synod to ensure inquisitions are performed correctly.
Powers
Inquisitor's Judgement
Any priest who performs an inquisition may choose to escalate it and announce a sanction. The virtue inquisitor has another option; they can instead choose to escalate their inquisition to a Statement of Principle in the General Assembly. As with a sanction, this escalation is submitted in their name by the Tribune of the Synod so it this does not count as raising another Synod judgement.
The intention of this power is that a virtue inquisitor who finds no fault, or who considers there to be insufficient grounds for a condemnation, may share their findings officially with the Imperial synod.
Appointment
Each virtue inquisitor is appointed by the cardinal of the respective virtue assembly.
A virtue inquisitor retains their title until they die, step down, or until a new cardinal of their assembly is appointed and chooses to name a replacement.
A virtue inquisitor may be revoked by the General Assembly and by their respective Virtue Assembly.
