The Callidus Assassins are the most cunning of all the assassins. Their greatest asset is their ability to use the shape-changing drug [[Polymorphine]]. This drug, coupled with special training, allows Callidus agents to change their very shape and appearance allowing them to impersonate other persons, members of the opposite sex, and even humanoid [[xenos]] like [[Ork]]s and [[Eldar]]. [[Meh'Lindi]], one of the most cunning agents, managed to successfully impersonate a [[Genestealer Hybrid]] at least twice (though she required additional surgery to complete the illusion).{{Fn|1}}
