An inquisitor was an official (usually with judicial or investigative functions) in an inquisition – an organization or program intended to eliminate heresy and other things contrary to the doctrine or teachings of a repressive faith. Literally, an inquisitor is one who "searches out" or "inquires" (Latin inquirere < quaerere, 'to seek'). Inquisitors sought out the social networks that people used to spread "heresy". There were accounts where the Inquisition could not tell who was a heretic or devout, and they were killed anyway. Instinct: Enforce doctrine
