The other assassin, the one with grinning skull for a face? He's no assassin. He's not even a monster. He's a weapon, a horrifying tool to rip anything he's made to kill and torn apart everything that stands between him and his target. A volatile psychopath, laughing and screaming... thing that just won't give up. His pistol will end you mercifully fast, his gauntlet, not so much. And his blood is the worst weapon, volatile mix of combat drugs that will burn even after the assassin's unlikely demise. The third one, he's a horror beyond human understanding. A soulless aberrant whose mere existence will hurt your soul, his helmet that protects his head has a skull mask like his more... normal colleague, but it is not to intimidate, but to remind that this monster is supposedly human. His weapon is a horrifying lens that reveals those who thought they could hide from his gaze a psychic black hole to unmaking, breaking minds and tearing souls apart. These three are horrifying beyond human reason, terrors to even acknowledge their existence. But there is one more.

Malcador was such a bro to big E. He covered every aspect of empire building the emperor couldn't be associated with, didn't have the time for or may have lacked skill in. The assassinorum, the adeptas terra as a whole, the inquisition and more. Forget mars as the second founder of the imperium its old malcador.
@Templar Knight true, and as capable of a politician and logistican as old rob is malcador was the one who knew the emperor and what he was doing and WHY he was doing it best. The simultaneous loss of the emperor, malcador and sanguinias (the primarch most like the emperor) really did a number on the imperium and humanity.
Vindicare: Striking from afar, I take out my target before they even realize I'm there. Callidus: I utilize polymorphine to take the form of my enemy, I kill my target without them even realizing that I was ever there. Culexus: As a Blank, I am immune to the senses of Warp Spawn. My primary prey: Psykers. Eversor: Ain't no one gonna notice, if no one's alive to notice.
Why did they make the Custodes so, soooooo incompetent during the Horus Heresy? Whenever it was their job to do something, like keeping the Assasinorum secret in this case, they fail utterly.
What makes me laugh is “Assassinorum” is neo-Latin genitive so the title is officially “Assassins’ Office.” Which is funny imagining an Eversor in a Business Suit and Tie having water cooler talk.
It's like something from Krinkles' Madness animations, a bunch of twitchy, heavily armed cyborgs in business suits, standing around an office building waiting for kill orders. And then an impossible, magical clown god shows up and starts wrecking shit.

The Emperors knowledge was most likely “I know what this is and what it’s used for that being said I don’t want to know details I just want them to do their job.”
The last 20 years of his reign might not have been as insane as you think. Everything he did likely ensured a person of sound mind and skill was able to take his place and didn't end up creating a massive power vacuum. If his political rivals were too weak to survive, they didn't deserve the responsibility. If they didn't see the assassin's blade coming for them, their mind wasn't sharp enough for the responsibility. In eliminating every possible de-facto replacement too weak for the job, he ended up ensuring a smooth transition of power after his death.
“Where other men blindly follow the rules, Remember, rules are meant to be broken. Where other men are limited by codex or law, Remember, everything is permitted. We live to honor the Callidus temple and die to serve the Emperor. We are assassins.”
@@blackguard5883 , I imagine it's a decent job. Probably little competition for your seat, and there's no way your not getting paid well. The eversor temple is likely entirely staffed by temps. The job is disturbing, the people trained for it are nuts, and accidents are semi-common
I rewatched your Beast Arises series recently, so it's only funnier contrasting the first optimistic "it's not as bad as people say" with the "I wanted to drown myself rather than keep reading".
Man, the Ordo Sicarius after action reports for my assassins must make for... interesting reading. “The Callidus assassin [REDACTED] tripped while approaching her target (rolled a 5 for deep strike range), lost her neural shredder (failed the 2+ to hit roll), twisted her ankle, and then was killed in action by enemy fire.” “The vindicare assassin [REDACTED] deployed on the roof of an enemy building, but his targets were hiding behind a rock so he sat there twiddling his thumbs until the knights, skitarii, and guardsmen he was supporting had all been killed. The shots he did manage to take at various and sundry battlesuits were all blocked by drones.” “The Eversor assassin [REDACTED] tripped, broke his ankle (triple 1’s on the charge roll) and then disappeared. When he was next observed by imperial forces, he was skewered on the lance of an eldar Shining Spear.”
The original master of the Eversor temple must have been a Blaskovitz to be a master of levels of violence so extreme that even devotees of Korne or Slaanesh wince.
So no one is gonna talk about the fact that at some point Big E & Malcador were in the same room as the 6 Assassins ? One of which was Sire Culexus. The two greatest psykers of the human race with a blank. Not only a blank but a full on Pariah who's learned to weaponize his gene. In the same room. And they didn't bat an eye ? Just how strong were theses monsters at their prime ?!
I remembered your previous video on the Age of Apostasy setting up the Sisters of Battle, Arch - You didn’t mention anything then about Goge Vandire invading Ophelia 7. You talked about him killing the High Ecclesiarch and putting on his favorite hat, but I assumed he was on Terra at the time
Picturing those awkward silences when the emporer knows so much happening around him he accidentally tells the master assassin how the next big botching will fail. The next week. Because omniscience...

The Emperors knowledge was most likely “I know what this is and what it’s used for that being said I don’t want to know details I just want them to do their job.”
The last 20 years of his reign might not have been as insane as you think. Everything he did likely ensured a person of sound mind and skill was able to take his place and didn't end up creating a massive power vacuum. If his political rivals were too weak to survive, they didn't deserve the responsibility. If they didn't see the assassin's blade coming for them, their mind wasn't sharp enough for the responsibility. In eliminating every possible de-facto replacement too weak for the job, he ended up ensuring a smooth transition of power after his death.
Nobody in particular: “There was nothing good about ‘The Beast Arises’. #ChangeMyMind”
Drakan Vangorich: “Good evening... 😇”
Haha... Couldn't be said better... Loved that character
#Vangorichdidnothingwrong #Thehighlordsdeservedit
“Where other men blindly follow the rules, Remember, rules are meant to be broken. Where other men are limited by codex or law, Remember, everything is permitted. We live to honor the Callidus temple and die to serve the Emperor. We are assassins.”
I too, love molesting people.
Assassins' Creed
12:51 - Now I’m just imagining a frustrated Assassinorum head going “I’m an assassin, not some pencil-pusher!”
But at least they can still John Wick that pencil.
Imagine being hired as a pencil pusher for an order of assassins
@@gloomreach4325 Do I get to file the kill confirmation photos? *DREAM JOB...*
@@blackguard5883 , I imagine it's a decent job. Probably little competition for your seat, and there's no way your not getting paid well.
The eversor temple is likely entirely staffed by temps. The job is disturbing, the people trained for it are nuts, and accidents are semi-common
@@gloomreach4325 Yeah, I'd probably pass on the offer from Eversor. I'd rather be in public works for a hive.
- Mini Series
- Several videos with a length of 40 minutes each.
Classic :D
Wow that is one heck of a long history. These assassins appear in every major era, and they always have an interesting story to them. Very nice.
I rewatched your Beast Arises series recently, so it's only funnier contrasting the first optimistic "it's not as bad as people say" with the "I wanted to drown myself rather than keep reading".
I tried to listen to it... not even worth the streaming fees.
Man, the Ordo Sicarius after action reports for my assassins must make for... interesting reading.
“The Callidus assassin [REDACTED] tripped while approaching her target (rolled a 5 for deep strike range), lost her neural shredder (failed the 2+ to hit roll), twisted her ankle, and then was killed in action by enemy fire.”
“The vindicare assassin [REDACTED] deployed on the roof of an enemy building, but his targets were hiding behind a rock so he sat there twiddling his thumbs until the knights, skitarii, and guardsmen he was supporting had all been killed. The shots he did manage to take at various and sundry battlesuits were all blocked by drones.”
“The Eversor assassin [REDACTED] tripped, broke his ankle (triple 1’s on the charge roll) and then disappeared. When he was next observed by imperial forces, he was skewered on the lance of an eldar Shining Spear.”
She failed both the 2+ to hit and the 4+ reroll because of her BS8? Always fun when that happens.
Someone: mentions the beast arises
Arch: *exasperated norse sounds*
The original master of the Eversor temple must have been a Blaskovitz to be a master of levels of violence so extreme that even devotees of Korne or Slaanesh wince.
So no one is gonna talk about the fact that at some point Big E & Malcador were in the same room as the 6 Assassins ?
One of which was Sire Culexus.
The two greatest psykers of the human race with a blank.
Not only a blank but a full on Pariah who's learned to weaponize his gene.
In the same room.
And they didn't bat an eye ?
Just how strong were theses monsters at their prime ?!
I can't believe they haven't made a game where the player is an Eversor!
I remembered your previous video on the Age of Apostasy setting up the Sisters of Battle, Arch - You didn’t mention anything then about Goge Vandire invading Ophelia 7. You talked about him killing the High Ecclesiarch and putting on his favorite hat, but I assumed he was on Terra at the time
When the emperor comes back, the assassins gonna be working over time.
I legit thought Arch was going to say "friend, possibly even lover" for a second.
Eversor assassins: when you want to kill the target by virtue of everybody within five miles dying
Exactly. If no one is left alive who’s to say what actually happened
Thanks Draken-sama for saving our Beloved Arch-chan from drowning! :)
He is the true hero of that book series.
Arch-chan just doesn't sound right. Maybe Arch-san?
@@Matihood1 ._. let me lewd Arch-sama in the way I like it and I let you lewd him in the way you want it, ok? :P
Picturing those awkward silences when the emporer knows so much happening around him he accidentally tells the master assassin how the next big botching will fail. The next week. Because omniscience...
So, with the defrosting that makes evasors basically Simon pheonix
Batman: "You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain."
Your daily offering to the TH-cam Algorithm. Blessed be the zeros, and the ones.
When exterminatus is too much and a angry letter is too little just send a assassin
If I wanted to be really nasty with my Exterminatus I'd send a rain of Eversor assassins. Expensive but I'm sure the inquisitors and High lords would love a show.
a hel that’s funny but I don’t want to see the bill afterwards considering how meticulous it is to make one them even when compared to marines
I am the reconnaissance sniper.
Bweeeee
I already sniped you a week ago.
Bweeeee
Very good! I really enjoyed this. I had heard you were a monster on reddit! I find you very engaging with a great level of lore knowledge. Your humour and style are perfect for my brain. Keep up the great work brother Arch. Keep away from that pond ;)
Just when I was getting bored, perfect timing !
EVERSOR: WRYYYYYY
Arch i respect you opinions on everything 40k i find it well reasoned thought out and pretty well grounded could you do a detailed video on why you find the beast arises book searies sutch a bad one like you did with the primaris mariens because i felt most of the same way about them
Official Assassinorum: Clean your Emperium bucko!
You know you are OP when only six assassins keep the empire of man under control.
Yay 40k lore video! Something new to listen to before bed. Thank you Arch. =)
Really good. Really liked the reading of certain parts.
Eversor "You don't have to worry about witnesses if there is nobody alive to witness"
Would love to se a video series about the Adeptus Mechanicus
The super secretive order that even random civilians seem to know about.
The Assassinorum, It's like Hogwarts for Psychopathic Killers.
The hat that chooses your Clade: "Bob Smith! Eversor!"
Bob: "Wrrryyyyy!!"
Arch, I've never opened a 40k book in my life. Where do I start? Stumbled upon your channel via a chain of my other interests and have become fascinated with the lore. Fantastic stuff.
The gaunt's ghosts, Eisenhorne and Chiaphus Cain books are almost universally acknowledged to be the best place to start in 40k.
@@LethargicGM Thank you. It's a bewildering universe I think warrants a researched approach to really appreciate. I feel a certain respect coming on that I haven't had for sci fi/fantasy entertainment in the "current year"
@@daviddesrosiers1946 if you don't mind looking at massive walls of text on a computer. I'd recommend checking out the lexiconum, which is a giant Wikipedia for all things warhammer, and 1d4chan, if you like your information to be delivered in a comedic way.
@@LethargicGM This is why I really like Arch's videos. They're kind of like a really entertaining audio book that I keep running in the background when I'm gaming.
@@LethargicGM
anything written by abnett is good.
DAMNIT ARCH! this video is only 42:57 minutes long! you can keep going for another 42 minutes explaining the the types of temples and their modus operandi!
Our lord inquisitor is back, and let the reunion binge begin!
At my own risk? Pff... Arch this is only a fict... *dies by assassin*.
".. at your own risk" mmm I love it :3
*Drakan Vangorich prevents arch from drowning himself*
Redditards: Drakan Vangorich is now banned, RRRRREEEEEEEE.
Been waiting for this one for long time. Great!
Great videos, rewatching while I have the chance...
Yay this videos back
Imagine being the Colidus getting the order to take out Konrad Curze.
She had to have written her Will before leaving.
*happy assasin noises*
*Happy Assassin Silences*
Sad pile of corpses noises
Should be “and their careless use” instead of “and there careless use”
Love the video Arch!
“Greetings and Salutations, to the Officcio Assassinorum”
Suddenly the TTS Inquisitorial invasion on the Imperial Palace seems a reasonable happening.
Officio Assassinorum ❤️
Still waiting for an Ordo Sicarius Inquisitor model though. :(
Assassinhunters need some love, come on GW!
When sneaky, deadly and terrifying just aren't enough.
Bloody excellent work as always Arch.
43 minutes and no mention of Inquisitor Draco wanting to screw the Meh’Lindi the Callidus Assassin while she was still disguised as a genestealer.
That Calidus will put the heretic in his place.
We are all trying to forget.
Does that make him subconsciously hyper loyal to humans that he’s able to sense a woman in disguise or hyper radical, you be the judge
My fav faction, thanks for another great vid Arch
Lets revisited all of archs Lore Videos to compensaite for my starvation the Last few Weeks.
Phone rings, Officio Assassinorum secretary picks up...
_Secretary:_ Hello?
*Imps:* Oh, hi, the Emperor here!
_Secretary:_ Hello, great Emperor, what can I do for you?
*Imps:* I like to order two assassinations.
_Secretary:_ TWO? In one day? Well, that is unusual, Sir, but who are the targets?
*Imps:* Well, one is that guy I really don't like and the other is you, because you know about it...
i agree with your loathing of the Beast series
Super excited for the Eversor video
How many hours from now do you think it will take for him to start talking about the fact that their bringing back Warhammer fantasy?
Wuuut?
Wait, they are? Did they finally realize why so many people call it Age of Shitmar?
@@hellishhybrid1839 the warhammer channel made a video announcing the return of the old world. In a few years.
Just stories tho? Thats what i took from it anyway, if ppl want to play warhammer theres nothing stopping them (providing you have a opponent, place to play)
@@craigstobbs9215 Nope - full gameplay, square bases and all.
The Emperor *always* knew. He simply allowed this all along; why? Because the Emperor protects.
arch my dude you forgot about the secret 7th temple.. the temple of the ork sniper, now i know what your thinking? how could there be an ork sniper? well, enough account of people being killed by "ork snipers" that well you know how the warp is when enough people believe in ork snipers then by the chaos gods there will be a warp entity that is... a ork sniper, and since as you have said arch, chaos always wishes to feed itself. meaning well, the entity will start to... snipe people thus fueling the claim of "ork sniprs".... an in the case the imperium has shot itself in the foot . because well if this warp entity began to follow waaaaghs around well.. goodbye leadership or any astartis
Have to wonder what Sire Evesor looked like haha
Love the lore series, thanks Arch
About time you did another LORE video
A video all about assassins and their sneaky dealing. Qu rains of castermere
Great video as always, big guy!
Officio Sneakystabby reform: Hey, can I copy your homework?
Codex astartes: Sure, just change it a bit, so it's not obvious.
Been looking forward to this one
a new lore video from arch??.. let me get my tea ready
Righteous individuals delivering the Emperor's swift punishment.
_"A wee bit of a naughty boy"_ *Daily reminder that Drakan Vangorich did literally nothing wrong.*
Every thing about them is “ya piss emp ya get his stabbing”
Finally so much YES! Id love to see the eversor
the assassins have a better record of loyalty then the Astartes
What about the Beheading and the Wars of Vindication?
@@robertnelson9599 what about all the renegade chapters from almost every other founding?
Imagining Arch drowning himself violently makes me laugh more than it should. But not because it's Arch. I've just never considered the act itself. And now that's in my head, making me laugh at odd moments. God Emperor help me.
So about what about Jeffrey Epstein's, inquisition arch?
really badass dude, choked himself to death after doing a summersault off the top bunk with a toilet paper noose round his neck.
They came from the little known Clintonus Temple
Done by a caladus lol
ARCH on friday - you too kind Senpai :)
