===Equipment===
Callidus assassins, besides being exceptionally well-trained in martial arts, normally use whatever weapon they are able to carry in the presence of their target.{{Fn|3}} They would not normally use weapons other than those inconspicuous and easily concealed ([[digital weapon]]s are commonly used, as well as even more unusual and exotic weapons). Even unarmed they are deadly, able to kill with a single touch. They also make use of more overt weapons such as the [[C'tan Phase Sword]], [[Poison Blade]]s, and the [[Neural Shredder]].{{Fn|7}}{{Fn|8}}For psychological warfare, some Callidus Assassins will utilize [[Death Card]]s.
The phase swords have a special link to the [[Necron]] gods, the [[C'tan]]. A report tells how [[Jaramshaela]], a Callidus assassin, tried to assassinate the heretical Imperial governor [[Takis]] who later turned out to be the [[Deceiver]]. The phase blade was absorbed back into the C'tan and she was flayed alive.{{Fn|4}}
