Interrogator recap
Jurgen is a former Interrogator, a psyker who can read people's memories by touch, left disgraced after his master, Inquisitor Bellona, was murdered. He now lives in the slums of the hive city Gheisthaven, numbing his memories with drugs, when his dealer's gang comes to collect. In act 1, he and his old teammate Baldur follow a lead on Bellona's killer through the slums and a bar run by an old acquaintance. The killer is Heroth, a former comrade who carries the rare Pariah gene, which makes him invisible to psychic powers. In act 2, Jurgen faces the cost of his addiction, investigates a factory where an old friend may be making a new drug, and is imprisoned beneath the estate of Duke Klore, the city's governor, who makes him an offer. In act 3, Jurgen escapes Klore's cells using his powers and searches for answers about Bellona's death, revisiting his past with Sortha.
Interrogator ending explained
Jurgen corners Heroth as Gheisthaven burns and shoots him dead, then learns that Bellona was a radical whose plan would have doomed the city and many other worlds, perhaps to seal the Cicatrix Maledictum, and that she saw Jurgen as one more sacrifice. Heroth's killing of her saved Jurgen's life. Baldur is dead, and the city's noble houses are heading into civil war. A shadowy Inquisitor, Markov, appears at the end, hinting at a story that has not been continued.
