'''Exodus''' was the name given to a famed [[Alpha Legion]] assassin active during the [[Great Crusade]] and [[Horus Heresy]].{{Fn|1}}
===Biography===
[[Image:Exodus.jpg|thumb|right|220px|Portrait of Exodus.{{Fn|1}}]]
So little information about him is available that none can say whether he was a single skilled individual or a number of assassins operating at the behest of [[Alpharius]]. He was known to have been the most skilled killer outside of the ranks of the [[Officio Assassinorum]]. His marksmanship was said to rival that of a [[Vindicare Assassin]]. Some histories claim that as many as a dozen worlds were brought to compliance with only a single shot fired. By striking down a major enemy commander, Exodus was able to achieve with a single round what an entire war may not have been able to.{{Fn|1}}
Exodus took part in the [[Dropsite Massacre]] at the beginning of the Heresy.{{Fn|4a}} He was one of the Alpha Legion members working to ensure that the massacre was incomplete. After the betrayal of the loyalists, he killed several [[Night Lords]] that were about to kill a group of [[Salamanders]].{{Fn|4b}}
===Wargear===
His [[sniper rifle]], known as [[The Instrument]], is of unknown design and provenance, and apparently combines advanced bolter weaponry with gravitic acceleration technology.{{Fn|2}}
