1 / 4 · Click to enlargeLore & origins
The Eversor Temple makes shock assassins. Its assassins are heavily modified and dosed with combat drugs, especially Frenzon, which pushes them into a murderous frenzy. They are kept in cryo-stasis until needed and woken only for a mission. Then they are dropped into enemy territory to kill their target and everyone around them.
Eversor assassins are so unstable that they cannot be controlled once active. Their bodies are so full of drugs and implants that when they die, the chemicals inside them react and cause a deadly explosion. They are used when terror is as important as the killing itself.
Eversors served during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy. They are rarely deployed because of their violence, but they are terrifying when they are.
The Eversor Temple creates the Assassinorum's shock troops. Its agents are pumped full of combat drugs and conditioned into psychotic killers. They are kept in stasis until deployed, then woken and unleashed on their targets. When an Eversor dies, it explodes violently because its biochemistry is so volatile. According to tradition the temple was founded by Sire Eversor, the foremost psychotic assassin of his age.
An Eversor's needled gauntlet injects a massive dose of neurotoxins that kill in seconds, although they have little effect on daemons. Ordo Malleus forces such as the Grey Knights confront daemonic cults on the battlefield, while an Eversor operates behind enemy lines to destroy the infection at its source. The archive also records the Clan Mackenzie mission, in which a single Eversor eliminated all 317 members of a clan, sometimes using improvised weapons.
