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 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 head. These tattoos indicated many things including rank and what kind of [[Allomancer]] they were before recruitment. The Lord Ruler's steel inquisitors have eleven spikes in all--two through the eye sockets, one in the middle of the spine on the back, and eight--one for each known allomantic power--in the torso.
Although created from humans, they were physiologically and mentally distinct. They could, however, still mate with humans.{{

== Weaknesses ==
Steel Inquisitors were very powerful and - with Feruchemical healing - nearly invincible. Rumors in the skaa underground held that Inquisitors were immortal, that they could see into people's souls and that they were warriors with no equal.{{book ref|mb1|3}} However, removing spikes from an Inquisitor could effectively kill it, most notably the linchpin spike located between their shoulder blades. This was a weakness built into them by The Lord Ruler. Similarly, Inquisitors could not survive a beheading. Removing one eye spike is not enough to kill most Inquisitors. Inquisitors also required more rest and sleep than a normal human would.
Another major weakness in Inquisitors came from the Hemalurgic spikes they bore, though this was not a problem before Ruin was released. Any spike in a person allows for influence to be more easily pushed on a person via the tears in their spirit web. These tears allow for people to control a Hemalurgic construct using Allomancy. This weakness is present in both [[kandra]] and [[koloss]]. This also allowed them to be controlled by [[Ruin]] the more spikes they had, the greater the weakness was. However, the stronger a creature's will is the more it can resist that influence or even break free from it for a time. Because of their Hemalurgic origins, all Steel Inquisitors were able to hear the voice of [[Ruin]].

In Well of Ascension, Sazed and Marsh visit a place called the 'Conventicle of Seran.' It is a sort of temple for the Inquisitors, and as far as we know, Sazed is the only non-Inquisitor to ever enter and leave alive. While there, Sazed discovers a message inscribed in a sheet of metal. The epigraphs for the chapters in Well of Ascension are taken from this message.
During his argument with [[Elend]], Yomen mentions how the Canton of Inquisition had been formed sometime during the sixth century, and it was this canton which suggested the Terris breeding programs to the [[Lord Ruler]] in order to keep that population under control. The Lord Ruler agreed to it provisionally, and the programs were then kept until the collapse of the Final Empire. However, it is also mentioned that the subjugation of the Terris people had started far before the Canton of Inquisition had come up with the idea of the breeding programs.{{book ref|mb3|44}}
