The '''Culexus Vindicare Temple''' is one of those operated by the temples of the [[Officio Assassinorum]] . The motto of the temple itself is located on a planet that : '''That which is unknown and unseen always commands the greatest fear'''. This motto is hard to locate owing quite appropiate as [[Psyker]]s, their exclusive targets, are unable to sense the high concentration of assassins thereCulexus Assassins, aka psyker-killers.

The Culexus Assassins are the most sinister , feared, and hated of all the assassinsImperial Assassins. They are null-entities in the warp, creating a terrifying aura of unnaturalness and paranormal fear around themselves by merely existing. [[Psyker]]s within range of a Culexus Assassin are so unnerved by the experience they may simply break and and attempt to flee, making these Assassins perfect witch-slayers.

It is possible that The Culexus Assassins possess the "[[Pariahs|Pariah]] Gene" (, making them to all intents ''soulless'', accounting for their having no warp-presence), thus also making them perfect candidates for becoming Necron [[Pariah]]s. Though if this is truly the case, it becomes interesting to consider how these Pariahs are recruited into the Officio Assassinorum, as carriers of the Pariah This gene are incredibly raremanifests itself very rarely, an entire planet may only produce in a single candidate in individual among a whole generationbillion, or more. This extreme rarity, coupled with the extremely high rate of student attrition within inevitable losses during training, makes the Culexus assassins the organisation may give an indication most rarest of how many Culexus Assassins may be in existence at any one timeall Imperial assassins.

In exploring one The location of many paths the Culexus temple is a closely guarded secret.

Choosing the Eldarlesser of two evils, but removing it will surely bring their final doomhe re-called the shadow-class cruiser home.

The Culexus Assasin slays his foe by using a deadly psychic blast directed through an ancient device known as an [[Animus Speculum]]. It is unknown how this device functions fully, but it is speculated that the warp energy separated from its targets by the null aura of the Culexus is held in this device and then unleashed. Indeed, the weapon becomes more and more potent when within the vicinity of psykers.
