Designer's Notes:
1) I tried to reproduce The Inquisition's powers as shown in the original text. One big problem is that his powers are not given any special effects, other than his RKA is some sort of "painful psionic killing attack." The Darkness is a "cloud of darkness." I'd consider putting all of his powers into some sort of Elemental Control, except I'm not sure what they are (although I suspect various forms of mental powers). In any case, I rebuilt all of The Inquisition's using 5th Edition rules, resulting in a great number of changes in point totals.
2) The Inquisition is yet another character in European Enemies with Find Weakness (roughly 1/4th of the book's 42 characters have this power) and like most everyone else, he pays the wrong amount for it. Find Weakness with all attacks is 30 points base for an 11- roll. The extra +1 adds 5 points to the power. So, while the original paid 25 points, he should be paying 35.
3) The Knowledge Skill rewritten from "Spanish The Inquisitor" to "The Spanish Inquisition." I have no idea what was meant there.
4) Paramedic was 3 points for an 11-. His INT makes that a 12- automatically.
5) Fixed the point values for all Disadvantages. No, I have no idea what he changes into accidentally at night (his "Hero Form" I guess). His Distinctive Features is mentioned on the character sheet but not described under "Appearance" section. His Hunteds are based on a logical guess. I'm fairly sure the Vatican has significant power and influence in Spain. Fixed his Psychological Limitations, and as per An Eye For An Eye listed his Multiple Personality Disorder as a Psychological Limitations.
6) The original version of The Inquisition cost 364 points. He now costs 370, a 6-point increase.
7) Assessment: The book doesn't bother to tell us which Disadvantages are for his night-only villain form, and which are for his daytime "mild-mannered priest." The Inquisition is probably better written up using Multiform. The Inquisition's powers are a horrible mess. No explanation is given for his Incantations, or what he is saying as Incantations. Since they only work at night, he's basically a one-trick pony (not as bad for a villain as for a hero), and like many European Enemies characters, he can dish it out, but can't really take it.
As a side note, the character's name is "The Inquisition." In the original text, this leads to such awkward looking sentences as "Rumors of the The Inquisition's activities...".
