The '''Locus''' is a type of austere and mysterious 4th-generation{{Fn|2a}} [[Genestealer Hybrid]] that serves as bodyguard to their Cult's [[Genestealer Magus|Magus]] or other senior leaders.
==Overview==
These stoic and patient warriors are capable of deadly acts of agility and stealth much like a [[lictor]], capable of even matching an [[Eldar]] [[exarch]] in combat prowess. This makes them excel in the role of a bodyguard and are known to thwart assassination attempts with the mere force of their presence. In their role as a sentinel, the locus can stand on guard for hours, motionless and unblinking but always on full alert. Twin blades are the preferred weapon of the locus, but are not their only one. They have hidden limbs tucked away into their robes as well as long segmented tails tipped with a toxic stinger. To witness a Locus in the midst of full combat is to see a shrieking, limb-lashing monstrosity erupt from the facade of serenity. Once the enemy is slain, a locus will swiftly dress itself in its robes once more and regain its calm composure in an instant.{{Fn|2b}}
