	Just because someone possess the Pariah gene or happens to be psy-inert does not automatically make them an Untouchable or a Blank either. [[Rob Sanders]] novel ''Atlas Infernal'' creates a firm distinction and clarifies that ''"Some of these individuals had degrees of immunity to psychic powers and the energies of the warp; some - known as Untouchables or Blanks - had fields so powerful that their presence disrupted the powers of or wounded psychic beings"'' and later refers to blacksouls being cloned for various purposes. In [[Dan Abnett]]'s novel ''Pariah'', a couple of Word Bearers complained that the protagonist, a Pariah, was barely even a Blank, let alone a Blacksoul. Further clarifying the difference between the terms Pariah, Blank and Blacksoul in terms of meaning and potency.

	Therefore it's clear that the distinction of '''"Blank"''' or '''"Untouchable"''' is reserved for those inert individuals who actively inhibit psychic powers around them while the additional differentiation for '''"Blacksoul"''' appears to be reserved for only the most potent of Untouchables.

	Firstly, they are said to have a [[warp]]-becalming presence, but is that even possible? This is exactly what Psychic Hoods do: they create a zone of neutrality essentially forcefully removing an enemy psyker's influence on that energy, but also all forms of Alignments in this energy, therefore neutralizing the psychic power. But Psychic Hoods have no effects such as those ascribed to Blankness: the [[Librarian]] doesn't fuck up his own brain or soul for that matter, and he doesn't affect those of others either.

	'''Blanks''' (also known as '''Untouchables''' or '''Pariahs''') are an extremely rare breed of human [[psyker]], even in the explosive populations of the [[Imperium]]; they average about 1 or 2 on the average planet of 10 billion inhabitants, with many planets never (or going centuries without) having one be born at all.

Blanks naturally and perpetually cause a preternatural sense of revulsion in ''all'' living things, since all living things in Warhammer 40K have at least a little bit of a Warp presence.

	Another confusing knot in the fluff is that humans (and Astartes) can be rendered soulless by technological, psychic, sorcerous, or daemonic means. It doesn't appear to be induce any typical effects of being a Pariah, but daemons despise them because a soulless being is utterly useless to them. Being soulless doesn't necessarily automatically kill them either, although this is presented inconsistently too. Whether other races can be rendered soulless the same way is unknown.

	The terms ''"Null", "Pariah", "Blank",'' and ''"Untouchable"'' often get used interchangably in the fluff and by [[Fa/tg/uys]].

	In the current [[Necron]] fluff starting from the 7th Edition Codex, Illuminor Szeras managed to capture a Culexus Temple Assassin during a surprise incursion against a world held by Chaos (see "993.M41: A Dark Experiment" in the current Codex) and trolls the [[High Lords of Terra]] into sending more of them (the old farts respond by sending an entire Assassin Execution Force, though it's not specified if those were composed of Culexus Assassins or other types of Assassins).

	The above incident with Szeras and the Culexus may even be made into a new Pariah origin story. Even back in the times when [[Games Workshop\|GeeDubs]] were still cool (and their site was still more than a catalogue, and had hobby ideas and more), there was a scenario telling the origin story of how a Necron Pariah came into being: the Necrons had to escort to safety a prototype Pariah (who was de-facto a converted Culexus Assassin who had capabilities of both Culexus AND Pariah and kept his assassin wargear in addition of getting a Warscythe) while protecting him from an Inquisitor and his army.

	Essentially, everything in the ''Materium'' is reflected into the ''Immaterium'', and both of these aspects are linked with each other. Everything means all objects and phenomenons, be they rocks, plants, minerals, gaz, animals, insects, shrooms and likely, contrary to what some writers pretend, magnetic fields as well since gravity DOES affects the Warp (and this is both why ships avoid to exit the Warp inside a solar system, some old Fluff sources also explicitly state that the Gellar Field is gravity based). In the case of Warhammer's humans, souls are linked to our bodies by a region of the brain called ''Animus'' through a chain of willpower; what the psychic power "Force" does is to destroy that chain therefore rendering the victim literally ''inanimate''.

In the wake of the invasion of Fenris by the [[Thousand Sons]] and its eventual devastation by [[Magnus the Red]], the scattered Sisters of Silence were quietly (''heh'') summoned to Terra on the order of the current Captain-General of the [[Adeptus Custodes]] Trajann Valoris. There they returned to the public eye of the Imperium when they help save [[Roboute Guilliman]] from Magnus, and aided in the defense of the Second Battle of Terra that came after. Subsequently, they have been gradually returning to their rightful positions alongside the Custodes and the Ordo Sinister as '''Talons of the Emperor'''.
