Eos 'Three-Nails'

Eos 'Three-Nails' is an infamous assassin of House Delaque of Necromunda.^[1]

Eos ‘Three-nails’, and the bloody left-handed palm print left upon Eos’s victims, is a trademark recognized from the mercantile domes of Hive Primus to the corpse halls of Hive Mortis. Missing two of its five fingers, the gory mark, with its distinctive overgrown nails and scarred palm print, is often the only evidence of the assassin’s work. That the noble houses, clans, and gangs believe Eos is a Delaque is often taken as a compliment by the house, though none among the Star Chamber have ever uttered the killer’s name. Some believe Eos is not just one gang leader and their gang but many Delaque, and that there is a secret Delaque cult of killers that carry around the severed hand of their founder – the real Eos having died long ago. The reality is even more bizarre than that. Long ago, the Escher created a chimeric drug for the Delaque which was refined for the purposes of Nacht-Ghuls. The first batches of this drug were unpredictable and unstable, and many Delaque who took it died screaming as they were rendered down into puddles of flesh and organs. Not all, however. Eos was one of those to have a different reaction, the drug transforming the Delaque into something not entirely human, and with not one shape but many. A dreaming mound of pale flesh, Eos can be given form by the psychoteric will of its gang. Drawing on their shapes and thoughts, Eos takes the form of a spindly Delaque warrior with mangled, clawed hands, able to bend and shift, pour itself through small openings, and heal almost any wound. Once Eos has killed its target, it reverts to its dreaming state, carried off by the members of its gang, until the time comes for them to give it shape once more.^[1]
