The Ordo Mechanimun is a little known Ordo that works closely with the Explorators of the Adeptus Mechanicus and the much larger Inquisitonal branch of the Ordo Xenos. Principally, they are tasked with confiscating recovered Xenos weapons lest they fall into the wrong hands (i.e.: anyone's other than their own).
The Mechanum Inquisitors tend to not be as heavily augmented with cybernetic and bionic implants as the upper ranks of the Mechanicus Magi are, though few if any are totally human themselves. This particular Inquisitor for example looks for all intents and purposes to be a standard human. However you'd be mad to think that the power pack he wears is purely for his weapon, armor and research equipment.
MS-D05 doesn't appear to be equipped for melee combat...though one never knows what potential close combat upgrades may be simply concealed rather than easily visible. That said, even an unarmed Inquisitor can easily hold his own in hand-to-hand combat if needs be.
For ranged combat he is armed with a needle pistol. As MS-D05 is someone who holds to the creed of The flesh is weak, the notion of his adversaries agonizingly dying in a virulent hell that he himself has inflicted upon them (and one that his own metabolic systems would easily filter out within moments) is probably just a sadistic bit of irony.

So there you have it: my two contributions to this year's Inquisitorial Conclave. My thanks again to Neverness for creating this event that puts a gun to my head motivates me to chip away at my infinite backlog of minis.
Always happy to motivate you, even if the taser is set to medium...
