ssassins protect the future of humanity by eliminating the few who become tainted with treachery, greed, the daemonic or other gross evils too heinous to name. Over thousands of years, no-one knows how many worlds have been saved by their actions. The Assassins work silently and without thanks. They are the bloody handed and secret saviours of the Imperium.

Assassins of the Vindicare Temple have elevated the skill of a marksman to a lethal art form. With a single bullet, delivered at the right place and the correct time, a Vindicare can change the course of history. Enemy commanders are always first in his sights and even powerful force fields are not guaranteed to stop a bullet from the deadly Exitus Pistol. So deadly is his aim that the Vindicare Assassin can pick out a single foe from a horde of hundreds, placing his shot with unerring and unnerving precision.
