The '''Adamus Temple''' is one of the orders of the [[Officio Assassinorum]]. It existed at the time of the [[Great Crusade]] and [[Horus Heresy]]{{Fn|1}}, and continued to operate into [[M41]].{{Fn|4}}
===Overview===
The Adamus Temple is believed to be the oldest of the formal orders of the [[Imperium]]'s [[Officio Assassinorum]] and its operatives are experts in the art of the decapitation strike. The Clade is said to have its roots in the forbidden blade-master traditions of the Panpacific region of [[Terra]].{{Fn|3}} The history of the Clade goes back to the [[Dark Age of Technology]], with some postulating that the very name of the order is drawn from an ancient theologic provenance meaning "the first blades".{{Fn|3}} Adamus assassins ensure their kills by studying how their enemies fight, noting their strengths and learning their weaknesses, which they then ruthlessly exploit.{{Fn|1}}
In battle, they wield a [[Nemesii Blade]] and a [[Needlespine Blaster]] [[Combi-Weapon]].{{Fn|1}}
