It was at the Conclave of Varoth that Inquisitor Coteaz cemented his reputation amongst the senior masters of the Ordo Malleus. The noted Inquisitor Laredian, High Protector of Formosa, had called the conclave in response to his discovery of a powerful Daemon-bound crystal. Inquisitor Lardeian proposed that the artefact be studied and used by the Ordo to aid in the identification and destruction of the followers of the Ruinous Powers. As Laredian concluded his address, Coteaz rose and marched to the centre of the autitorium, his daemonhammer raised and cherubic familiars darting around his head. He smashed the Daemon-crystal with one blow and denounced Laredian as a blasphemer and trafficker with abominations, declaring him Extremis Diabolus.

The conclave erupted at this flagrant breach of protocol. Unfazed, Coteaz produced an hourglass and promised he would prove his words true before the sands ran out. Laredian had no choice but to face his accuser. In the examination that followed it emerged that Laredian has not only sanctioned the use of Daemonhosts, but had read proscribed texts and employed the tools of the enemy. Faced with such incontrovertible evidence, Laredian was found guilty of Warpcraft, practicing the forbidden arts, and heresy against the God-Emperor. He was executed by Coteaz himself and his ashes fired into the heart of a star.
