The Callidus Assassin is the epitome of stealth, deception, and lethality. Trained within the shadowy temples of the Officio Assassinorum, they are masters of disguise and infiltration, capable of assuming any identity to strike down key targets of the Imperium's enemies.
Their signature weapon, the C’tan Phase Sword, phases through all defenses, bypassing even the most advanced armor. Complementing this is the Neural Shredder, a psychotropic weapon that attacks the minds of their foes, incapacitating or outright killing those unprepared for its mental onslaught.
What sets the Callidus apart is their use of Polymorphine, a highly advanced chemical that allows them to alter their appearance and blend seamlessly into any environment. This shapeshifting ability enables them to infiltrate enemy ranks undetected, sow chaos, and assassinate high-value targets with surgical precision.
On the battlefield, a Callidus operates as a disruptive force, emerging from the shadows to wreak havoc before slipping away. Their unique ability, Reign of Confusion, hampers enemy strategies, delaying reinforcements or creating chaos among command structures.
Callidus Assassins embody the Imperium's ruthlessness, executing their missions without hesitation or remorse. Their actions are calculated and precise, often altering the course of entire campaigns with a single strike.
When fielded, a Callidus Assassin is a wildcard, capable of dismantling enemy plans and eliminating threats with an elegance that only a master of subterfuge can achieve. They are the silent blades of the Emperor’s wrath, striking from nowhere and leaving no trace behind.
