The '''Distaff''' was a group of psychic [[blank]]s, created and utilised by [[Inquisitor]] [[Eisenhorn|Gregor Eisenhorn]] when hunting rogue [[psyker]]s, because of their unique abilities. Psychic blanks, also known as anti-psykers, are people with an extremely rare mutation that causes them, and everything in their vicinity, to be invisible in the alternate dimension of the warp. Consequently, they are immune to all forms of psychic attack, as well as shielding those around them. The leader of the distaff was [[Alizebeth Bequin]]. Non-Untouchables are strongly repelled by "blanks", and psykers find them unbearable to be around.
The Distaff were instrumental in the defeat of the traitor [[Quixos]] in the battle of [[Farness Beta]]. Quixos, having collected a large quantity of psykers during the events up to the [[Thracian Atrocity]], was deemed to be in a location of psychic strength, until the distaff neutralised the psykers' ability to attack troops by using their blank aura to repulse attacks.
