* [[Knight Templar]]: Prior to joining the Inquisition.

* [[Light Is Not Good]]

 

A vampire and Dark Other.

* [[Retired Monster]]: He became a Higher Vampire though killing several young girls and feels no remorse, but has sort of "mellowed" to the extent that he left the Day Watch to become an Inquisitor.

A Dark Other Mage who started out on the Day Watch (in the eponymous novel), but later joined the Inquisition.
