Blanks are a rare breed of human Psyker, even in the explosive populations of the Imperium and average about 1 or 2 on the average planet of 10 billion inhabitants. They function as anti-psykers, having no warp presence of their own.

Sisters Of Silence
The sisters of silence were one of the most prominent users of blanks in the entirety of the imperium. They were formed by Malcador the Sigillite during the early days of the great crusade to aid the forces of the imperium against some now unknown xenos races who had psykers of there own and used them against them. During the Horus Heresy the sisters of silence proved instrumental in defeating the Traitor Legions and there large groups of psykers. They were present during the Burning Of Prospero and were vital in silencing the legions ranks of psykers. They did however suffer heavy losses and in the chaos that followed the heresy lost alot of power and it is unknown now whether the organisation still exists or not. A shame because they could be really valuable against the enemies of the imperium now.
The ultimate fate of most Blanks is to either be picked up by the Black Ships and turned into a Culexus Assassin, be killed by the hubristic citizens of the Imperium due to their rampant xenophobia, or to fed into Kroot to give Tau Anti-psykers. They also used to be turned into Necron Pariahs if ever the Necrons managed to capture a blank. However, with the fluff re-write, not anymore.
