The Death Cultists are experts and cold-blooded killers who can stalk their prey for hours or days, waiting for the right moment to strike. Then, a sudden explosion of power and speed occurs as the assassin makes numerous cat-like leaps from the shadows with blades extended that sever limbs or disembowel their target with savage grace. This makes them valued companions to an Inquisitor who turns a blind eye to their eating habits and some are even sent to the [[Officio Assassinorum]] for further training.{{Fn|2}}
The [[Feudal World]] [[Fervious]] in the [[Calixis Sector]] is known for its many death cults,{{Fn|5c}} and by some accounts largely governed by them.{{Fn|47b}}
