Executioner (House Cawdor)

Games Portal
Necromunda

Executioners are grim killers, that are part of House Cawdor's inner circle and act as their Thane's red right hand.^[1]

They are charged with enforcing the will of the Cult of Redemption on believers and unbelievers alike, all while wearing concealing masks or heavy hoods. Only the Thane knows the Executioners' true identities, but they soon become recognized by Necromunda's population, for the means they use to mete out House Cawdor's will. Names such as the Headsman have become well known and strike fear into Cawdor's enemies, as well as any of the House's gangs the Executioners temporarily join. This is often done to both test the gang's resolve and to delver the Thane's punishments. Those chosen Cawdor gangs will have to face a trial of faith, and the Executioner's presence will test their true devotion to the Cult of Redemption. Being under the watchful eyes of an Executioner has the effect of filling the gangs with faith and fear, which makes them fight all the harder for House Cawdor.^[1]
