Changes

The [[Eldar]], whose leaders are usually psychics, fear the Culexus greatly. Farseer ''Alladrios Kulcassian'', of Craftworld [[Alaitoc]] coordinated a centuries-long effort to locate and to destroy this temple. Somehow he discovered the location and dispatched the ''Legacy of Eldanesh'', a shadow-class cruiser. However, using his precognitive powers, he discovered to his amazement that the temple's destruction would lead to the Annihilation of Alaitoc. Choosing the lesser of two evils, he re-called the cruiser home.¹

==Equipment==

The Culexus Assassin slays his foe by using a deadly psychic blast directed through an ancient device known as an [[Animus Speculum]]. It is unknown how this device functions fully, but it is speculated that the warp energy separated from its targets by the null aura of the Culexus is held in this device and then unleashed. Indeed, the weapon becomes more and more potent when within the vicinity of psykers. The device fires bolts of negative psychic energy and drains the power of nearby psykers to bolster its power. Secondly, the Culexus carries an Etherium, a device that induce enormous distortion and confusion in all nearby enemies psychic or not, the fact that the enemy is already disconcerted by the soulless Culexus combined with the Etherium makes the Culexus impossible to target.²
