The '''Invisibles''' were the elite bodyguard unit of the "[[Emperor of Mankind (63-19)|Emperor of Mankind]]", the ruler of the planet that came to be known as [[Sixty-Three-Nineteen]].
Their name was derived from an application of force field technology that gave them their main tactical advantage. They possessed a passive application of said technology that allowed them to bend light around themselves, making themselves practically invisible, even to [[Space Marine]] helmet sensors. However, the effect failed slightly when the user moved, and careful scanning using high-contrast viewing tools was able to reveal heat-haze type blemishes in the air. Their weaponry was also derived from force field technology, projected as invisible beams of mutilating force capable of penetrating [[power armour]]. They Their weapons made a distinctive banging noise when discharged. For hand-to-hand combat they used long-bladed lances. Tall, physically fit men, they wore ornate silver powered armour and red silk mantles. They somewhat reminded [[Luna Wolves]] [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]] [[Garviel Loken]] of the [[Adeptus Custodes|Custodian Guard]].<sup>{{Fn|1a</sup>}}
The Invisibles were chiefly notorious for enacting the murder of Captain [[Hastur Sejanus]] and all his [[Command Squad|glory squad]]. They were defeated by the Luna Wolves and ordered to be decimated.<sup>{{Fn|1b</sup>}}
Their technology was noted to have been earmarked for reverse-engineering by the [[Mechanicum]].<sup>{{Fn|1c</sup>}}
