Cipher
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Ciphers are the messengers of the Administratum. They fill the corridors of the Imperial Palace and bustle from one place to another. Ciphers are trained to memorise information by entering a state of self-hypnosis. This ability is passed from parent to child. Ciphers have no idea of what they are carrying but chant their information when they reach their destination exactly as they read it, almost like a machine.[1]
