==Other instances of the C'tan==
The [[Inquisition]] often employ elite assassins to remove unfavourable enemies. Members of the [[Callidus Temple]] use a weapon called the [[C'tan Phase Sword]]<sup>1</sup>. It is unknown what specific relation the weapon has with the C'tan themselves, but when it comes into contact with a C'tan's body it is absorbed as if it is a piece of its body returning home. This is shown in an article about the attempted assassination of a Planetary Governor which turned out to be the Deceiver. It has been hypothesized that phase blades and the Necron [[Warscythe]] are parts of a shattered shell that once housed a C'tan.
The major weakness of the C'tan is their inability to comprehend the warp. It is speculated that they find it impossible to survive in it and are particularly susceptible to warp spawned magics and [[psyker]]s. They had a plan to block off the warp forever in an attempt to remove their single greatest threat<sup>1</sup>. It is also speculated that they have set up a series of 'pylons' on [[Cadia]], possibly for this purpose. Whether these pylons have anything to do with the [[Eye of Terror]] is unknown, but it is unlikely as the Eye wasn't opened until the C'tan were in their stasis tombs. There is also a Necron object on [[Armageddon]] in the central region of the planet<sup>2</sup>.
