 The
Callidus Temple is the most subtle of the ancient hidden
temples of the Officio Assassinorum, specialising in
the artful deception of the enemies of the Imperium.
Acting covertly, the Callidus Assassin gets close to
those who would worship the Daemon, working her way
through the ranks of the minions of Chaos to pull the
disease out by its roots.
 To
achieve its exacting tasks, the Callidus Temple specialises
in the use and development of the shape-altering drug
Polymorphine. With this drug alone a Callidus Assassin
can masquerade as any human. In addition, the Medicus
Adepts of the Imperium have developed a range of surgical
implants to allow Callidus Assassins to mimic members
of alien races, such as Orks and Eldar.
On the battlefield, Callidus Assassins are dropped
behind enemy lines, where they use their cunning and
stealth to infiltrate the enemy army. Usually this is
done by eliminating individuals and taking their place,
with the help of Polymorphine and the armour and wargear
of the recently deceased. Using this technique, the
Callidus Assassin can get close to enemy commanders
or powerful psykers, influencing their strategy and
finally killing them when the opportunity arises.
Callidus Temple Assassins may be included in your Daemonhunters
army led by an Inquisitor or Inquisitor Lord as an Elite
choice. Note that assassins from only one Temple can
be used in any force for any reason.
