Kryptman is a former Inquisitor of the Ordo Xenos. He played a significant role in discovering the emerging threat of the Tyranids.
Official Canon
Kryptman was the first to discover the Tyranids when he found the planet Tyran to be stripped of all life forms. Realizing that the new Xenos threat was headed for Ultramar, he warned ahead of the impending attack.
Throughout the course of the three Tyrannic Wars, Kryptman learned as much as he could about the enemy. He came to the conclusion that the only practical way of stopping the threat was to Exterminatus every planet in their path, hopefully starving them out by denying them biomass. Such a move proved to be too much for the Inquisition, and he was exiled for his actions.
BEHEMOTH Canon
Kryptman is seen as a highly eccentric and short-tempered Inquisitor who treats his Deathwatch marines like personal servants, having them make him his recaff for him. His initial investigation into the planet Tyran was to find out why his shipment of new glasses was delayed; initially he wanted to call the Tyranids the “Space Bugs of Death,” but was turned down by the others.[1]
During his investigation, he had his xenobiologist Dracon work in finding a weakness for the Tyranids, while he busied himself watching confiscates Xenos erotica. Eventually he found the next target for remnants of hive fleet Behemoth, and with the help of the Blood Ravens and his Deathwatch team, they prepared to intercept the incoming fleet. However, he unsubtly suggests that if they fail, he’d simply Exterminatus the planet, with his men doubting that they’d even consider giving them enough time to evacuate. However, Kryptman discovered that Dracon betrayed him, as he planned on drawing the Tyrannids instead of repelling them. Dracon’s treatchery was quickly stopped; however, the hive fleet had already arrived.[2]
Kryptman admitted that he knew all along that Deacon was a dangerous Xenos collaborator, and only kept it secret to avoid the possibility of costly lawsuits. He even told one of his stormtroopers that because he already knew too much he was going to have to execute him, so he might as well hear the whole story.[2]
TTS Canon
Kryptman suddenly appears among the exiled Inquisitors during their visit to Commorragh, sharply demanding that the other Inquisitors shut up so that he could speak. Inquisitor Toddler-on-the-Ground refused to listen to the disgraced Inquisitor, so Kryptman shot him in the kneecaps. Kryptman said that the fact that nobody even noticed his presence before now was proof of their incompetence, and that he’d support whatever decision the Fyodperor would make. The Emperor liked Kryptman’s candor and cool-headed approach. But when told by Rogal Dorn and Custodisi about Kryptman’s genocide and exile, the Emperor refused to retract his statemnt and claimed that “he must have had a good reason.”[3]
