Maletek Stalker
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Maletek Stalkers are the favored agents and assassins of the traitorous Phaenonite sect of the Inquisition. These creatures are built with dark warp lore, created when a trained killer is taken in by Hereteks and subjected to a series of nightmarish occult rituals and cybernetic implants. Few survive the process, but those that do are transformed into deadly warriors.[1]
More machine than man, their systems react like flesh and are capable of not only regeneration but even evolution over time. However, their most potent ability is allowing the assassin to feed on the lives taken, making their victims' power their own. This gives the killers a hunger for murder that even their Phaenonite masters find hard to control.[1]
