One of the Assassin temples in 40k.

Not as cool as Eversors. They like to think they are, and wear skull masks so that they can cosplay as eversor assassins, but ultimately the charade leaves them as hollow as their warp signature. Culexus assassins are "blanks" or "Pariahs" and have no signature in the warp. They were most likely born due to The Deciever's master plan to seed a race in humanity capable of being the ultimate weapon against the warp and finally win the *Just as Planned* contest with Tzeentch.

To regular humans, a blank's aura is filled with some degree of sickness both figuratively and literally which makes them rare as most of the time they are killed during childhood. To those who survive they become one of the most deadliest assassins in the Imperium. To Psykers, a blank is the worst thing they could encounter, their mere presence is enough to cause considerable pain and even death to weak minded psykers, as such the Eldar hates and fears a blank as they're all a psychic race. To daemons, blanks are totally invisible to them since they leave no signature in the warp. Due to this, the Culexus assassins' prey are exclusively psykers as a psyker facing one would rather chew his own arteries out and slowly bleed to death than face one. Since they're pretty much forced outcasts of society....they really don't have much of a social life outside the Officio Assassinorum.

They also somehow manage to have no soul so hard that they're able to fire beams of not-soul out of the gun attached to their heads and assuming there's enough psykers around, this beam can become arguably one of the best anti-infantry guns in the game.
