Clad in crimson red from his great-coat that looks similar to a Commissar's to the carapace that he wears bearing the double headed eagle of the Emperor and the matched Mechanicus Cog in the center Phaelan cuts an impressive figure...for a mere mortal among Angels of Death.  His Crimson Skull helmet tends to be clipped to his waist in the same fashion that the Marines use and his voice...appears to come from his lips sounds more like a vox approximation rather than a normal human's voice.  A short blade rests at his hip, and a small dispenser of frag and krak grenades adorns the other side.  A strange looking weapon that is reminicent of a Plasma Gun is worn on his back.

Phaelan exists in a strange middle ground in serving as an Inquisitor as well as having strong roots within the Adeptus Mechanicus.  Neither one fully trusting him but neither can afford to cut all the bonds due to his udefulness...it was this that the Lord Inquisitor saw when he chose to raise VonKronos and bestow upon him the Rosette.  It's also the reason why he can stand being around the Angels of Death...being not completely human himself gives him insight and a level of analytical ambivilance due to his medicae instruction into the Astartes condition.
