Desperado

A Desperado

Desperados are a type of rogue killer and mercenary within the Imperium.

Often simply refered to as Scum or Hive Scum, Desperados are often renowned burglars, assassins, criminals, and infiltrators who have had many brushes with Imperial authorities. Due to possessing a wide variety of skills related to criminal or subversive activities, Inquisitors will sometimes recruit Desperados (willing or otherwise) into their retinue.^[1]
