I know Comatose already pretty much refuted this, but I have one more reason they're not dead and controled by TLR: they clearly can think independently, when they scheme to overthrow the obligators, and also when they torture Reen and disagree about whether he is lying. If they were all completely controlled by a single power (either TLR or Ruin), it doesn't make sense that they would have either individual ambition, or differences of opinion among themselves.
In saying this, I'm not disagreeing with the idea that after TLR's death, they become more completely controlled by Ruin. We see very little of Inquisitors in MB2, so it's very hard to tell what they're doing, why, and under whose control. But I still don't think they're actually dead.
On another tangent, is there such a thing as a female Inquisitor? If so, why haven't we seen any? If not, why not?
