Eos 'Three-Nails' is an infamous assassin of House Delaque on Necromunda.[1]

Eos ‘Three-nails’, and the bloody left-handed palm print left upon his victims, is a trademark of assassination across Necromunda. Missing two fingers, the gory mark is often the only evidence of the assassins work. Some believe Eos is not just one gang leader and their gang but many Delaques, and that there is a secret Delaque cult of killers that carry around the severed hand of their founder – the real Eos having died long ago. The reality is even more bizarre than that. Long ago, the Escher created a chimeric drug for the Delaque which was used first to create the Faceless and later refined into the creatures known as the Nacht-Ghuls. The first batches of this drug were unpredictable and unstable, and many Delaque who took it died screaming. Eos however had a different reaction, the drug transforming him into something not entirely human, and with not one shape but many.[1]

A dreaming mound of pale flesh, Eos can be given form by the Psychoteric will of their gang. Drawing on their shapes and thoughts, Eos takes the form of a spindly Delaque warrior with mangled, clawed hands, able to bend and shift, pour itself through small openings and heal almost any wound. Once Eos has killed its target, it reverts to its dreaming state, carried off by the members of their gang, until the time comes for them to give it shape once more.[1]
