'''Biomortic Assassins''' are cyborg [[Assassin]]s, that are used on the [[Hive World]] [[Necromunda (planet)|Necromunda]] and are more commonly known as '''Murder-Cyborgs'''.{{Fn|1a}}
==Description==
That is their entire purpose and the process to convert a [[Human]] into a Biomortic Assassin takes years of both physical surgeries and mental conditioning. This includes implanting a hard [[Ceramite]] endoskeleton, layers of subdermal armor and [[bionic]] limbs that allow them to move with an unnatural grace and silent precision that no biological creature can match. Biomortics are also grafted with [[Synth]]-skin around their arms and torso to hide weapons within, which can be activated or emerge with a mere flicker of a thought. They given enhanced senses as well, like spectral vision eyes, that see through bodies to view hidden armor, weapons and biological enhancements. When activated entire process leaves them with a body that is more machine, than Human. But the results allow them to appear like a blur to those who see them in action, while to the Biomortic everything will appear like its moving in slow motion, as they go in for the kill.{{Fn|1a}}
Mental conditioning during their creation buries a Biomortic's original personality and replaces it with one that is cold and absolutely focused on killing the targets their masters' have given them. Despite this, a small part of a Biomortic's mind will still contain a fragment of who they once were and this will even occasionally cause them to have flashbacks to their past lives. While they are aware of this part of their minds, Biomortics will not dwell on it and their conditioning will quickly suppress anything from their past. However, they are able to think and can even contemplate the chances of their survival while on missions. In the end, though, Biomartics are conditioned to accept that they are not intended to survive. Upon being activated, all that matters to their masters and to the Biomartics, is that they ensure that their targets are dead.{{Fn|1a}}
==Known Usage of Biomortics==
*Attempt on [[Imperial Commander|Lord]] [[Gerontius Helmawr]] - During the [[Great Rift]]'s [[Noctis Aeterna]], [[Necromunda (planet)|Necromunda]] was left in an upheaval and Gerontius struggled to bring order to the [[Hive World]]. Sensing a perfect moment to strike, a creator of a Biomortic unleashes her upon [[House Helmawr]]'s [[Hive|Spire]]. Due to the impact of the giant [[Warp Storm]], the [[Assassin]] is able to reach Gerontius, while he is conducting a meeting, and strikes down the Lord of Necromunda. However Gerontius' guards fire upon her before she can ensure he is dead and in the process they shatter a nearby wall to ceiling window. The resulting air pressure causes the Biomortic to be pulled out of the window and ends her threat to Gerontius. However he is left mortally wounded by the Assassin's attack and is placed within a [[Stasis Casket]] to prevent Gerontius from dying.{{Fn|1a}}
*A gathering of young [[Noble]]s - During the [[Great Rift]]'s [[Noctis Aeterna]], an unusual alliance formed between the youth of [[Necromunda (planet)|Necromunda]]'s [[Noble House]]s. They viewed the actions of their elders as recklessly endangering their future and initially all goes well for the upstarts. This ends, however, when [[Neenas Catallus]] realizes she has an opportunity to rid [[House Catallus]] of a generation of rivals. Shen then lures the other young nobles into a secret factory meeting, before unleashing a gang of Biomortics upon them.{{Fn|1b}}
