The Shadowy World of Clade Vanus
In the dark alleys of the Imperium, a secretive organization known as Clade Vanus operates with precision and stealth. As one of the six primary assassin temples of the Officio Assassinorum, Clade Vanus specializes in the art of manipulation and deception.
The Infocytes: Masters of Data
At the heart of Clade Vanus lies the infocyte, a highly skilled operative who wields data like a deadly sword. These human computing engines are trained to analyze vast amounts of information, identifying patterns and predicting outcomes with uncanny accuracy. Armed with advanced cogitator gauntlets and organic-metal netfly automata, infocytes infiltrate even the most secure systems, sowing chaos and destruction from within.
Unbound Infocytes: The Wild Cards
A select few among the infocytes are designated as Unbound, operating outside the traditional boundaries of Clade Vanus. These rogue agents are free to improvise, using their skills to terminate targets with ruthless efficiency. Equipped with exotic weapons and Synskin, Unbound Infocytes are the ultimate wild cards in the world of espionage.
Equipment and Tactics
Clade Vanus operatives employ an arsenal of advanced devices, including Auspectres, Sympatic Dataspikes, and Noospheric Interlopers. They also utilize Imperial bionics, such as mechadendrites, to interface with technology and project hololithic displays. In the heat of battle, Clade Vanus agents unleash data phages and blackouts, crippling enemy systems and sowing confusion.
History and Notable Operatives
Founded by Sire Vanus during the Great Crusade, Clade Vanus has a long history of eliminating enemies of the Imperium through manipulation and deception. Notable operatives include Fon Tariel, who participated in the first Execution Force during the Horus Heresy, and Elixa de Mornay, active on Vigilus. Other notable agents include Clementina Yendl, Iaeo, Kurei Adamta, Lea Rayne, and Sire Vanus himself.
