    You missed out the best detail about the Evisor assassins. They are so psychopathicaly dangerous, that they have to be kept in cryogenic hibernation between missions. They don't even let them out to give them the mission briefing, its just downloaded into their brains as they are being unfrozen and then their cryo-tube is loaded into a torpedo and fired at the planet where the target is located.

      Evisor assassins are like the Emperor's own middle finger to whatever offends him. Its like someone told the Officio Assassinorum about Khorn berzerkers and how they were the most savage, most relentless and most homicidal killers in the galaxy and someone said "Hold My Beer" and whipped up the first Evisors

    You probably should have mentioned death cult assassins in this video, at least in passing. Even if they aren't in the Officio Assassinorum, the existence of a commonly used type of assassin apart from this organization is important to note.
    I did not know that the high lords of Terra were needed to personally vote on targets much less need a supermajority. Considering how busy they are and how many enemies of the Imperium there are (not to mention the general grimdark nature of the setting) I'm assuming they rubber-stamp many Inquisitorial requests for assassins, at least for well respected Inquisitors.
    "Inquisitor Karamazov requests the assassination of a heretical governor. All in favor."
    "Aye"

    I always thought that having the High Lords of Terra assign every assassination was a bit too restricting.

    It makes sense that Imperial Officals of great enough rank would have the right to petition the Ordo directly as well.

    • @Zaprozhan
      @Zaprozhan Před 5 lety +1

      These assassins require a great deal of conditioning, surgery, brainwashing, training, and rare weaponry to be effective. They may not have many available at any time, so the High Lords may be enough to apportion them. However, lesser officials could certainly, quietly, contract out or recruit highly skilled individuals capable of a similar roles.

    "Fighting each other to the death to weed out the weakest" is such a stupid, wasteful cliché. Sure, selection is important for such a system. But a) you kill off not just the weak but also the second-best, who would be great assassins and b) you waste human resources that could be put to use elsewhere. Perhaps the "weak" are not fit for assassins, but good as storm troopers or some other elite force. After all, they were already pre-selected for their great potential.

    one thing about callidus assassins, if it's difficult for a male to use polymorphine, wouldn't that mean it would be difficult for a callidus assassin to turn back to a different form from male appearance ?, cause the body physique, bone structure and mussels is that of a male

    • @skalgrimfellaxe5796
      @skalgrimfellaxe5796 Před 5 lety

      So stuff that is also done to the Callidus assasins - they get their bones broken/replaced with synthethic materials to help with the reforming of their muscles (thats what polymorphine does mostly) so that they can take on even non-human features. Their skin is grafted with genespliced skin so that they can, like an octopus, change coloration. Even the texture. This means that they can mimic almost all humanoid species.
