[[Image:Elucidatum.jpg|thumb|right|200px|An {{PAGENAME}} '''Tallyman'''{{Fn|2}}]]
The '''Order Elucidatum{{PAGENAME}}''' were the secret police of [[Malcador the Sigillite]] during the [[Unification Wars]], [[Great Crusade]], and [[Horus Heresy]].{{Fn|1}}
Known as the Elucidators or Tallymen, these officers operated openly as bureaucratic functionary's of the [[Administratum]] but covertly were iconoclasts charged with censorship and murder. Drawn from the finest military experts and warriors of the [[Sol System]], the Elucidators were highly specialized combatants and agents. Often posing as [[Remembrancer]]s, they accompanied [[Expeditionary Fleet]]s on the [[Great Crusade]] and compiled information on compliment civilizations. Of particular interest were the religious beliefs of civilizations, and they oversaw the destruction of holy texts, the assassination of demagogues, and the repression of faiths as part of the securing of the [[Imperial Truth]]. Eludicator Officers had status granted to them by Malcador that allowed them to requisition any military resources for their needs save that of the [[Legiones Astartes]].{{Fn|1}}
