[[Image:Culexus Assassin Art.jpg|thumb|right|300px|A Culexus Assassin ]]
The Culexus Assassin slays his foe by using a deadly psychic blast directed through an ancient device known as an [[Animus Speculum]]. It is not fully known how this device functions, but it is speculated that the warp energy separated from its targets by the null aura of the Culexus is held in this device and then unleashed. Indeed, the weapon becomes more and more potent in the vicinity of psykers. The device fires bolts of negative psychic energy and drains the power of nearby psykers to bolster its power. Secondly, the Culexus carries an [[Etherium]], a device that induces enormous distortion and confusion in all nearby enemies, psychic or not. Combined with the fact that the enemy is already disconcerted by the soulless Culexus, the Etherium makes the Culexus impossible to target.{{Fn|2b}}
