Funny thing: the inquisition lasted 355 years and the number of executions in person is estimated to be around 1,303 for the period 1540–1700, with an additional 778 people sentenced to death in effigy (where a dummy was burned instead of the individual).
The most liberal estimations have the execution rate averaging about 1 to 1.4 executions per month, or roughly 12 to 17 per year. Though the reality of written records suggests only an average of about 5 to 6 executions per year.
The Inquisition is also noted historically for its procedural fairness, limited use of torture, and restraint in applying the death penalty compared to secular courts of the time.
That guy right there Inquisitor.

The weird thing is that I know all this but each time it surprises me.
I guess the Inquisitor for the Imperium will have to do.
