NOBODY expects the Whitehelm Inquisition! Its chief weapon is surprise… surprise and fear… fear and surprise… Its two weapons are fear and surprise… and ruthless efficiency… Its *three* weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency… and an almost fanatical devotion to the Cardinal… Its *four*…no… *Amongst* its weapons…. Amongst its weaponry…are such elements as fear, surprise…. Let’s meet the Penitent!

Penitents are simple folk, fanatically devoted to their religion in simplistic way that leaves them a lot less confused than the Inquisitors. A little bit of self-flagellation, some hessian underwear, and an occasional trip to the comfy chair, seem to be all they require for a happy life.
