Acquisitor (Adeptus Mechanicus)
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Acquisitors, also called Tech-Acquisitors, are members of the Adeptus Mechanicus, who salvage and remove Xenos artifacts and items for later study.[1]
Description
They can have their brains augmented with Electrografts, which give Acquisitors a complete memory of many of the technological items the Adeptus Mechanicus have studied. The newly found knowledge allows them to rapidly evaluate Xenos items and reject those objects which are of little worth to the Mechanicus. This is often under the guns of enemies and Acquisitors can be found on many battlefields as a result. They soon develop combat skills to match their intellectual abilities, otherwise the Acquisitors' lives are somewhat short.[1]
