The '''Steel Inquisitors''' were a type of [[Hemalurgic]] construct on [[Scadrial]] created from humans. Steel Inquisitors were created and controlled by the [[Lord Ruler]] as the policing force for his ministries. The Steel Inquisitors made up the [[Steel Ministry#Canton of Inquisition|Canton of Inquisition]] whose job it was to control the use and spread of [[Allomancy]].

The most notable feature is the large steel spikes where their eyes should be. These spikes fill the eye socket and protrude out the back of the head by several inches. Steel Inquisitors, like the obligators from which they were created, are bald with a large number of tattoos spreading from their eye sockets across their heads. These tattoos indicate many things, including rank and what kind of [[Allomancer]] the obligator was before recruitment. The number of spikes that the Lord Ruler's Steel Inquisitors have varies based on the availability of Mistings and [[Feruchemist]]s to sacrifice,{{wob ref|10123}}{{wob ref|8848}} but they generally have between nine and eleven spikes in

Inquisitors who had been made from Mistborn were notably more powerful, having their Allomantic abilities almost doubled. Some of the Inquisitors who obtained Feruchemical spikes also discovered how to compound, gaining more power from their [[metalmind]]s. This is not something the Lord Ruler taught the Inquisitors. Compounding was something they had to figure out themselves.{{wob ref|5484}}
