The Vindicare Assassins specialise in vengeance and revenge killings. They make use of a specially designed, long-range [[Sniper Rifle]] called the [[Exitus Rifle]]. The Vindicare Assassin brings inglorious death to the [[Emperor of Mankind|Emperor's]] enemies with a sniper's bullet. {{Cite this}} Vindicare Assassins have been known to wait in a position for as long as 6 years before taking a shot.{{Fn|5}} Many rebellions and cults have been ended with one, perfect shot from a Vindicare's rifle.{{Cite this}}
The Vindicare Temple teaches the assassin the art of patience and the perfection of marksmanship. These stoic assassins are conditioned by their temple to be unflinchingly loyal to the Imperium, often being trained to limit their vocabulary only to words that are useful for their profession, cutting off all emotional attachments to other humans so that they will never hesitate to eliminate any target.{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|3}} The intense training of a Vindicare Assassin enables them to pick out a single target even amongst roving hordes of enemies on the battlefield.{{Fn|1}}
