Adventure Guide Entry

The in-game Adventure Guide text for the Inquisitor Tormentorum encounter in Vault of the Wardens.

Of all the foul creatures that serve the Legion, the hooded inquisitors are perhaps the most mysterious, and most menacing. Tormentorum arrived in the aftermath of the initial assault upon the vault. As he drifts through the halls of the Vault, his gaze piercing the shadows in search of some vital secret, even other demons give him a wide berth.
