The '''Steel Inquisitors''' were a type of [[Hemalurgic]] construct on [[Scadrial]] created from humans. Steel Inquisitors were created and controlled by the [[Lord Ruler]] as the policing force for his ministries. The Steel Inquisitors made up the [[Steel Ministry#Canton of Inquisition|Canton of Inquisition]] whose job it was to control the use and spread of [[Allomancy]].

The most notable feature is the large steel spikes where their eyes should be. These spikes fill the eye socket and protrude out the back of the head by several inches. Steel Inquisitors, like the obligators from which they were created, are bald with a large number of tattoos spreading from their eye sockets across their heads. These tattoos indicate many things, including rank and what kind of [[Allomancer]] the obligator was before recruitment. The number of spikes that the Lord Ruler's Steel Inquisitors have varies based on the availability of Mistings and [[Feruchemist]]s to sacrifice,{{wob ref|10123}}{{wob ref|8848}} but they generally have between nine and eleven spikes in
Although created from humans, they are physiologically and mentally distinct.{{wob ref|7713}}{{wob ref|2615}} They can, however, still mate with humans.{{wob ref|5530}} Children from Steel Inquisitors are more likely to be Allomancers compared to children from two humans, but the strength of Allomancy and Feruchemy would still weaken over time.{{wob ref|4148}}{{wob ref|12858}} There are also complications that can happen with the children of an Inquisitor.{{wob ref|4148}} Steel Inquisitors have slightly longer lifespans compared to humans.{{wob ref|5532}}
All Inquisitors exhibit a high tolerance to pain and most forms of physical damage. Depending on which Hemalurgic spikes the Inquisitor had, their abilities could vary immensely. The number of spikes varied; Marsh had eleven pre-Collapse, and after the Collapse an Inquisitor at Vetitan had a new one. After Ruin took control of them, Marsh was given 10 more spikes, making him the most powerful Inquisitor.{{book ref|mb3|13}}
* Steel spikes: Inquisitors had five steel spikes.
* Bronze spikes: Inquisitors had four bronze spikes between the ribs, to give them the four Allomantic Mental Powers (zinc, brass, copper, and bronze).{{book ref|mb3|5}}
* Atium spike: Most Inquisitors were able to see into other people's futures by burning atium.{{book ref|mb1|34}}
* Gold spike: Most Inquisitors had a gold spike between the ribs to give them the Hybrid Feruchemy ability to store health.{{ref|text=The early editions of the books said Feruchemical healing was granted by pewter spikes,{{epigraph ref|mb3|36}}
* Pewter spikes: Gained after Ruin's release, the Inquisitor at Vetitan had a pewter spike through his heart which granted the Physical Feruchemical ability to store physical speed.{{book ref|mb3|5}}
* Brass spikes: Gained after Ruin's release, granted Cognitive Feruchemical abilities, such as mental speed.{{wob ref|3868}}
Inquisitors who had been made from Mistborn were notably more powerful, having their Allomantic abilities almost doubled. Some of the Inquisitors who obtained Feruchemical spikes also discovered how to compound, gaining more power from their [[metalmind]]s. This is not something the Lord Ruler taught the Inquisitors. Compounding was something they had to figure out themselves.{{wob ref|5484}}
