WHAT IF?

[Bloodwraith]

So fan fiction idea here:

Name: The Red Hand of The Emperor

What if the assassinorum had its own secret detachment of Space Marines. (Not a full chapter more a company or demi-company size).

Purpose: to be a rarely used safety net/assassins to operate against Alpha level threats that would be beyon standard temple assassins. Also used as a safeguard against factions like the Minotaurs, or even Custodes.

Geneseed used: Either Night Lords or Alpha Legion

Training and indoctrination, the same as the varied assassin Temple techniques. Explosive device located in thier brain and chest cavity, placed during their creation. Psycho endoctrination done on scale beyond that done by any other imperial faction.

Deployed in groups of 3-5 with a handler from the assassinorum. Secret existence kept the last 10,000 years from all of the factions and highlords.
