Expurgator

Icon of the Sisters of Silence

An Expurgator, usually part of an Expurgator Cadre, is a Sister of Silence who serves with those heavy fire support cadres of the Silent Sisterhood dedicated to maintaining the secrecy of their order's clandestine missions against the enemies of the Emperor by eliminating all traces of such secret actions.

Although a formidable military force in its own right, the Silent Sisterhood's clandestine, undocumented actions far outweigh their overt activity manyfold. It is purported that for every operation of the order that has been described by the words of iterators or etched into the pict-plates of famed imagists (photographers), a hundred more have been conducted behind the veil of secrecy or scoured from Imperial records and memory alike.

Expurgator cadres are doubtlessly instrumental in ensuring knowledge of the activities of the Sisters of Silence is controlled, purging and burning that which they wish to remain hidden. Upon the field of battle, these Sisters of Silence use their heavy weaponry to drive the foe from cover and destroy those that have defied the will of the Emperor.
