Welcome back to the depths of the Warhammer 40,000 universe! Today, we dive into the labyrinthine twists and turns of the Officio Assassinorum and its desperate need for reorganization. This clandestine organization, an ominous cog in the machine of the Adeptus Administratum, is crying out for tighter control. Our solution? A new department under the steely gaze of the Inquisition – the Ordo Sarius.
In the chaotic vortex of the Wars of Vengeance, the Grandmaster himself was struck down by an assassin’s blade. This chilling event prompted the High Lords to tighten their reigns on the Officio Assassinorum, a decision that has left only traitors and heretics trembling in fear… in theory.
For 80 long years, I, the narrator of our tale, have held the reigns of the Officio Assassinorum. My tenure has been marked by the constant struggle against a creeping moral decay within. If you’re reading this, it means I’ve managed to unravel an assassination plot against myself, and expose the rot within the organization.
Lord Vanir, a malevolent man, tightened his grasp on the throat of the Imperium, securing support from the shadowy corners of the Imperial assassins. His rise to power was punctuated by the mysterious deaths of several high-ranking officials and dignitaries, all of which suspiciously beneficial to him.
Despite my best efforts, I couldn’t pinpoint the source of these flawless assassinations. Was it the work of my own Vindicare Temple or perhaps the dreadful assassins of the Culexus Temple? Maybe the poisonings were the work of the Venom Temple. The truth remained elusive, leading me to conclude that the Officio Assassinorum is rotten to the core.
The only explanation lay within the Temple of Callidus. Known for their use of Polymorphine, a drug that allows the user to mimic the appearance of others, these assassins could easily infiltrate even the darkest corners of the Imperium. The key to unraveling this mystery lay in the hands of one man – Ziz Jar, the senior executive of the Callidus Temple and my main rival.
When the position of Grandmaster became vacant, a twist of fate saw me ascend to the role, leaving Jar on the sidelines. His shock turned into a potent brew of hatred and ambition, which Lord Vanir exploited for his purposes. Utilizing the resources of his Temple, Jar infiltrated several assassin sanctuaries, ordered the removal of local high ranks, and replaced them – all to fulfill his own ambitions and the manipulative machinations of Lord Vanir.
Stay tuned, dear reader, as we continue to explore the dark corners of the Imperium, where intrigue and assassinations are as common as the stars in the sky. The Officio Assassinorum may be rotten, but its tale is far from over.
