Dark Templars

Trained in combat and magic, these selected few are strictly obedient and often cruel in motivation of their goals. They are the elite soldiers who are often sent on specific errands for the empire, or sent to bolster morale and aid the empires' main armed forces. Dark Templars believe they draw their powers from the darkness and despair of the Void, where they send their victims. They believe that if they serve well in this life, then the god-king, Kijin Tono, will appoint them high rank in the Keepers of Shadow a parallel force he rules in the Void.
