Inquisitor Back Shield

The Inquisitor Back Shield first appears in The Hero of Ages as a specialized piece of armor designed to protect the critical linchpin spike at the base of an Inquisitor’s neck. Crafted from sleek, formfitting metal plate, it extends under the arms to form a breastplate-like front while maintaining a smooth, turtle-shell contour that allows for both protection and mobility. This innovation marks a significant evolution in Inquisitor design, addressing a long-standing vulnerability that had been exploited by enemies throughout the series.
