			They are unique amongst the hive nobility in that they are never encountered without their trademark masks ''(well... There is also [[House Cawdor]])'' which have likely been manufactured by [[House Van Saar]].

			These masks are not explicitly a sign or religious devotion to the [[Emperor]] like the masks of the Redemptionists are supposed to signify, but they appear to have a common theme. House Catallus cleaves to a philosophy called the ''Invisible Truth'', where the only way to endure [[Grimdark\|unendurable brutality]] is to not exist at all. Therefore they believe they cannot be extinguished because they never lived in the first place.

			In any case, it adds to the mystery of the House, considering that no-one can ever be certain who they are dealing with, or perform background checks on them, or hold a grudge that requires a vendetta, or even be certain whether it's the same person each time they meet.

Known as the ''House of Masks'', House Catallus is one of the Noble Houses of [[Necromunda]], beneath the Imperial House Helmawr, but above the six Clan Houses.

Catallus make their speciality as brokers, overseers and facilitators; in essence they are a house of middlemen, but considering the polar, insular, and often violent factionalism of the other houses and guilds, they are necessary for managing the connections that keep the industries of the Hives running.

==Alliance Benefits==
Having the patronage of House Catallus does not have as many overt or tangible benefits to a gang compared to some other alliances that may be possible, but having them running around behind the scenes can certainly be an advantage depending on how the players behave.

Any time a gang may be declared Outlaw, whether by bribing officials, removing witnesses, or deleting evidence, the faceless masters of House Catallus make the problem go away, and so the gang remains "Law Abiding".

They are also quite active in participating in gang activities, especially compared to some other potential allies, and don't need to be coerced to join the battlefield, in fact if the opposing gang has a particularly high-value member, then Catallus actually consider it quite rude if they ''aren't'' invited.

Additionally, if anyone allied to House Catallus is captured, the opposing gang leader receives no bounty for trading them in.

The drawbacks to allying with House Catallus can be steep and annoying though. If the Catallus Carnival '''does''' participate in a skirmish, for '''each''' juve in the gang, there is a 1/6 chance that they will demand that member be turned over for mindfraying.

It is also practically impossible to get rid of the buggers. If an alliance is broken with House Catallus, every new alliance formed by the gang has a 1/6 chance of actually being formed with House Catallus instead, representing how they are the brokers of all the deals, and don't like people turning their backs on them.
