The '''Callidus Temple''' is one of the temples of the [[Officio Assassinorum]]. They specialise in trickery, deception, deceit, infiltration and impersonation. {{QuoteBox|quote = '''''"To assume the shape of the accursed, and deliver death from the purity within you."'''<br>- Dictatus Callidus'''''{{Fn|10}}|align = center|width = 41em}}
===Operatives===
===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 [[Phase Sword]], [[Poison Blade]]s, and the [[Neural Shredder]].{{Fn|7}}{{Fn|88a}} For psychological warfare, some Callidus Assassins will utilize [[Death Card]]s.
