	~~A master psyker~~, ~~able to immolate hordes~~ of ~~encroaching xenos~~ with ~~a thought, a Deathwatch Librarian is one~~ of ~~the most formidable psychic warriors the Imperium can field.

The Deathwatch chooses its warriors for their power and ability, and its librarians exemplify each~~.		Within their own Chapters, Librarians may have different roles and unique methods of utilizing their powers. With the Deathwatch, they're usually frontline combatants, barbecuing xeno scum with blasts of warpfire, hurling vehicles around like toys, or just plain mind-raping enemy troops into despair and hopelessness. . Despite what you might think, they are usually ''not'' of the high Epistolary rank, as those tend to take the aptly-named position of [[Deathwatch Epistolary]]. Most actually hold the rank of Lexicanium (No, not <u>''THAT''</u> [[Lexicanum]] - the most junior of the Librarian ranks), which is a testament to how dead 'ard these guys are.

	~~Unlike most members of~~ the Deathwatch, ~~Deathwatch Librarians are more exclusive as they are selected primarily from members of three Space Marine Chapters --~~ the [[~~Blood Angels~~]]~~, the~~ [[Blood Ravens]] and the [[~~Solar Hawks~~]], ~~due~~ to the ~~large numbers of psychically-gifted Battle-Brothers found among these Chapters~~.		Aside from battlefield fighting, they also act as security for the Deathwatch's archives. Within each Watch Fortress is a sealed vault, containing the various [[Heresy\|heretical]] alien gubbinz they've managed to [[Blood Ravens\|"acquire" from their enemies]], along with actual Imperial relics and weaponry; it also contains the fortress's <s>porn stash</s> archive of "[[rule 34\|forbidden knowledge]]", which is considered too [[/d/\|sanity-breaking]] for even the [[Watch Commander]] to access. Only the Librarians are allowed to take a look at them.

	~~Most~~ of the ~~Librarians called~~ to ~~serve in~~ the ~~Deathwatch hold~~ the ~~rank~~ of ~~Lexicanium~~ (No, ~~not <u>''THAT''</u>~~ [[~~Lexicanum~~]]), ~~the most junior~~ of the ~~four ranks~~ of the ~~Space Marines' combat psykers.

==Overview==

A master psyker, able to immolate hordes of encroaching xenos with a thought, a Deathwatch Librarian is one of the most formidable psychic warriors the Imperium can field. Able to attack with stunning ferocity, hurling vehicles into the fray and forcing his will into the mind of the alien, crushing their spirits and resigning them to failure, the Librarian can bolster his body with psychic energies, moving across the battlefield and through enemy fire like liquid. The Deathwatch chooses its warriors for their power and ability, and its librarians exemplify each.

Unlike most members of the Deathwatch, Deathwatch Librarians are more exclusive as they are selected primarily from members of three Space Marine Chapters -- the [[Blood Angels]], the [[Blood Ravens]] and the [[Solar Hawks]], due to the large numbers of psychically-gifted Battle-Brothers found among these Chapters.

Most of the Librarians called to serve in the Deathwatch hold the rank of Lexicanium (No, not <u>''THAT''</u> [[Lexicanum]]), the most junior of the four ranks of the Space Marines' combat psykers. They are nonetheless warriors of fearsome ability and renown. However, a small number of higher-ranked Librarians do serve as the Watch Commanders' most valued counselors.

By focusing his prodigious psychic powers, the Librarian is able to unleash withering blasts of searing Warp energy at his foe, reducing them to ashes with but a thought.

Librarians are also the guardians of the secrets of the Deathwatch.
