Bio
Spoiler Alert!
Originally the leader of The Tube Police, a fascist police force and quasi-religious order in the far future, he became the dictator of the entire human race from its base on Termight (planet Earth). His Empire wages a speciesist war against all alien species, who Torquemada regards as "impure."
Torquemada's goal is to keep the human race united by their fear and hatred of all aliens. He is described as being totally evil, and having absolutely no redeeming features whatsoever. In fact, late in the series, it was revealed (through the actions of Thoth, son of Nemesis the Warlock) that his previous incarnations have included Colonel John M. Chivington, Witchfinder General Matthew Hopkins, Adolf Hitler, and his namesake, the original Torquemada.
After Nemesis caused Torquemada to have an accident in a teleporter, Torquemada lost his physical body but continued to survive as a ghostly spirit. He then began possessing the bodies of volunteer Terminators to use for himself. The bodies would rot and die after a short time and have to be replaced. This eventually contributed to his first wife's loss of her sanity.
His catchphrase is "Be pure! Be vigilant! Behave!"

PURE VIGILANCE! When Torquemada or a Human figure adjacent to Torquemada attacks a non-human figure with a normal attack, add one automatic skull. When Torquemada or a friendly Human figure adjacent to Torquemada defends against a non-human figure with a normal attack, add one automatic shield.
BEHAVE! If Torquemada destroys a non-human figure with a normal attack, Torquemada may immediately attack again.
MY TERMINATORS ARE WATCHING!
If Torquemada has been destroyed, you may roll a 20-sided die after you destroy an opponent's figure, add 5 to the roll if the destroyed figure is human. On a roll of 18 or more replace the destroyed figure with Torquemada,removing all wound markers from this card, and place the destroyed figure on this card. At the end of each round, place one wound marker on this card for each figure on this card.
The figure used for this unit is a Heroclix figure from the Indy set(2003).
Its model number and name are #106-108 / Torquemada.
A cloud can change its semblance, yet retain its will
With the intimacy of destruction, One knows what it is to be alive
The empty sky holds no reflection, for sorrow - Eslo Rudkey
