** The character of Fyodor Karamazov in ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'' is one giant, screaming parody of "The Grand Inquisitor" segment of this work; he works for the Imperial Inquisition, is considered overzealous and brutal by the standards of the Inqusistion, and he has a ''very'' frosty relationship bordering on hatred of the Ecclesiarchy (the state church of the Imperium of Man that is separate from the Inqusition) for an incident where he tried and executed a possible candidate for the reincarnation of the God-Emperor of Mankind, in much the same way that The Grand Inqusitor castigated a reborn Jesus in this work.
