A few scholars have wondered if witch hunters who follow this path have perhaps fallen unwittingly in league with Chaos itself-but they do not wonder about it too loudly. As witch hunters get older and more grizzled and the number of horrors they have witnessed grows, many become more extreme in their views, more like the archetypal Templar of Sigmar from three centuries ago who believed that everyone is guilty, it’s just a question of how much.
Witch hunters range from the coldly dispassionate, who regard what they do as just a job, to those whose zeal for hunting down the servants of Chaos knows no end, and who would burn a village to the ground rather than risk letting one cultist go unpunished. Witch hunters stumble upon nefarious doings in the dark forests of the Empire. Walter Keller, Witch Hunter Captain, said the night before the burning of Almshof. " If you're not a witch, you have nothing to fear." All ordinary citizens agree witch hunters are necessary and the work they do is crucial to the safety of the Old World, but there are very few who do not feel a flush of fear when they see a figure wearing the familiar wide-brimmed hat, buckled tunic, and long black cloak. In recent times, woodcutters and witch hunters are kept busy as more and more people reportedly turn to the dark arts. Since the practice of any witchery outside of the auspices of the Colleges of Magic is deemed an abomination within the Empire, death by burning is the proscribed punishment for this particular crime - and the witch hunters are far from squeamish about meting it out. What they all have in common however is their dedication and zeal against all things tainted and unpure. However, there are a wide variety of others, from the Colleges' Masters Vigilant to local mercenaries hired out to a nobleman's service. Most witch hunters are the Imperial state-sanctioned Templars of the Cult of Sigmar. Witch hunters are grim, cold individuals who have dedicated their life to the eradication of corruption wherever it may be.
" I will burn every inhabitant of the Empire if I have to!"
