[[Image:Callidusassassin.jpg|thumb|right|A '''Callidus Assassin''']][[Image:Callidus temple assassin.jpg|thumb|right|120px200|A Callidus AssassinAssassins]]The '''Callidus Temple''' is one of the temples of the [[Officio Assassinorum]]. ''Callidus'' is latin Latin for "cunning" - which characterizes the methods employed by the Temple.

The Callidus Assassins are the most cunning of all the assassins and they specialise in trickery, deception, deceit, infiltration and impersonation. Their greatest asset is their ability to use the shape-changing drug '''[[Polymorphine''']]. This drug , coupled with the correct special training , allows Callidus agents to change their very shape and appearance allowing them to impersonate other persons, members of the opposite sex, and even humanoid [[xenos|aliens]] like [[Ork]]s and [[Eldar]]. [[Meh'Lindi]], one of the most cunning agents, managed to successfully impersonate a [[Genestealer Hybrid]] at least two times^1,2. One can assume that the impersonation of a [[Tau]] is possible, but no reports confirming this are known to this date.

This makes them experts at getting close to their target, be it rebellious [[Planetary Governor|Imperial Governor]]s, corrupt Imperial high officials, heretic prophets, alien leaders, etc. This allows them to manipulate the enemy's plans and eventually assassinate the main target at the best possible moment. Once the target is eliminated, the Assassin may even replace the victim by assuming his appearance⁵. Polymorphine works better with women, and therefore the vast majority of the temple operatives are female.

The traitor Primarch [[Konrad Curze]], aka '''"Night Haunter'''", was assassinated by [[M'Shen]], a Callidus Assassin. However he allowed her intrusion as he wanted to die - to show that his rebellion was justified.
