Connection to The Inquisitor:
The Heretic and The Inquisitor are both holy swords meant to protect the holy order with the Heretic being the older brother and The Inquisitor being the younger sister.
While The Heretic fell from grace when a wielder of it died due to bad decision of the holy order and now tries to take down this very order, The Inquisitor is still strongly convinced of the Holy order and tries to protect it at all cost and is furious at her older brother for betraying it.
The Heretic is still the more powerful sword as the older brother.
