 Incubi are trained in the use of many different weapons unique to their warrior sect:
-*Though they train in every form of blade, they favour great powered swords they call [[klaive]]s. A klaive is a masterpiece of balance and form; the Incubi consider them to be the one true weapon.{{CME}}

 Incubi lead rigorously disciplined lives; and some even whisper that they can be trusted to keep their word. As such, their services are regularly sought after by the powerful within Commorragh. But despite their prowess as shock troops and duellists, even Incubi scorn a fair fight and will concentrate solely upon killing in the most efficient way possible. They are trained in multiple forms of combat with a wide variety of weapons.{{Fn|9}}
-===Shrines of the Incubus===
+===Klaivex===
 Incubi, like [[Mandrake]]s or [[Haemonculi]], do not swear allegiance to any specific [[Kabal]] or [[Wych Cult]]. Instead, Incubi are trained in their dark shrines. These obsidian crafted shrines, all presided over by [[Hierarch]]s, are thronged by patrons and aspirants eager to steep themselves in the murderous arts. The smallest shrines have only a handful of Incubi, the larger ones are sprawling bastions full of howling marble statues with a central shrine where aspiring Incubi and other Dark Eldar come in their thousands to bargain for services or to join the order.{{Fn|7}}
 Training is extremely hard and grueling. Due to this, not every aspirant survives the training. These weaklings are burnt as an offering to the iron statue of [[Khaine]] at the heart of each shrine. The only way to stay alive is to quickly master everything taught. Should an aspirant live long enough to best a proven Incubus and take his armour, the final training will begin. Every aspirant must then kill an [[Aspect Warrior]] of the [[Eldar]] [[Craftworld]]s in single combat, shatter their quarry's precious [[Spirit Stone]] and rebuild it into a psychic torture device known as a [[Tormentor]].{{Fn|2}} Others talk of a requirement to kill an existing warrior of the shrine and to take his wargear.{{Fn|19}} After that, the aspirant can be considered an Incubus.{{Fn|2}}

-Fully trained Incubui are the best warriors in Dark Eldar society. They are warrior-mercenaries living only to kill. [[Archons]] favor Incubi as bodyguards. They are also used extensively as enforcers in [[Commorragh]]. Many pleasure dens or smuggler's spires have been brutally destroyed by a host of Incubi to send a message to their employer's rivals. The reason for this is that in Dark Eldar society, one's place in the chain of command is only improved by assassinating the person above you. Therefore, the majority of Kabal leaders find it too dangerous to leave the protecting of their lives in the hands of a member of the same Kabal, as the bodyguard would have ulterior motives for not sufficiently protecting the [[Archon]]. Incubi, on the other hand, are completely neutral in matters of Kabal hierarchy, follow the code of their contract and their [[Klaivex]] leader zealously, and are elite warriors, all of which make them perfect bodyguards. But in Commorragh, even the finest blade can still sometimes cut both ways.{{Fn|7}}
