The Culexus Assassins are the most sinister, feared, and hated of all Imperial Assassins. They are [[blank|null-entities]] in the warp, and their unnatural lack of a presence inspiring a sense of unease even in non-psykers. To [[psyker]]s their mere presence is terrifying, invoking panic. In the confusion caused by this fear, the assassin can move in on its target and eliminate them. To purely psychic entities like [[daemon]]s, they are invisible.{{Fn|2c}}
