{{NecromundaPortal}}[[File:Assassin.jpg|thumb|Lothar Hex, the Widowmaker{{Fn|3}}]]'''Lothar Hex''', '''the Widowmaker''' is an assassin in [[Necromunda (planet)|Necromunda]]'s [[Hive Primus]]. He works for the crimelord [[Balthazar Van Zep]], and always leaves a trademark mnemonic death's head card on the bodies of his victims. Little is known about Hex, and his ability to change his face into a terrifying bestial mask may be a sign of [[daemonic possession]], further mnemonic technology or an inhuman origin.{{Fn|1a}}{{Fn|1b}}{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|3}}

[[File:Assassin.jpg|thumb|Lothar Hex, the Widowmaker{{Fn|3}}]]
Trained in the deadly arts, Hex was once a [[Guilder assassin]], employed exclusively by the [[Merchant Guild]] to kill those who threatened their rule. While neither his connection to Balthazar Van Zep nor how they first met is known, Hex left their service when Van Zep killed the [[Guilder]] [[Alta Lago]] and was hunted through the [[Underhive]]. Though he is the only Guilder assassin to have quit their service and survived, he has no bounty as they have denied his existence ever since.{{Fn|3}}
