==The Makings of a Culexus Assassin==
The Culexus Assassins are the most sinister of all the assassins. They are null-entities in the warp, creating a terrifying aura of unnaturalness and paranormal fear around themselves by merely existing. Psykers [[Psyker]]s within range of a Culexus Assassin are so unnerved by the experience they may simply break and and attempt to flee, making these Assassins perfect witch-slayers.
In the confusion caused by this fear, the assassin can move in on its target and eliminate them.
It is possible that Culexus Assassins possess the "[[Pariahs|Pariah ]] Gene" (making them soulless, accounting for their having no warp-presence), thus also making them perfect candidates for becoming Necron [[Pariah]]s. Though if this is truly the case, it becomes interesting to consider how these Pariahs are recruited into the Officio Assassinorum, as carriers of the Pariah gene are incredibly rare, an entire planet may only produce a single candidate in a whole generation. This rarity, coupled with the extremely high rate of student attrition within the organisation may give an indication of how many Culexus Assassins may be in existence at any one time.
In exploring one of many paths of the future an [[Eldar]] [[Farseer]] saw that if the culexus temple were destroyed then great carnage would be unleashed upon the universe, destroying Eldar civilisation. Creating a paradox that the culexus temple is the greatest threat to the Eldar, but removing it will surely bring their final doom.
