I was reading the Eisenhorn trilogy and got to the bit about Parading Alpha + psykers around and the kind of trouble they could cause I began scouring the internet for other Alpha +'s. I found these two, and they sound very interesting (If Shining inspired) and I would love to read about them. Can anybody tell me what book I would find them in? I mean any psykers whos power can simply over power the most secure anti psyker environment in the imperium (The Black Ships) has to be very powerful. Does anybody know any more about these guys, I simply couldn't find where I could get their fluff from.

The Apex Twins

Human females. Exceptionally damgerous alpha plus level rogue psykers, given the Inquisitorial designation the Apex Twins on account of their uncharted abilities and lack of information regarding their true names. Born as twins, they appeared as innocent young girls, around six or seven standard years of age, who possessed the ability to inspire feelings of love and protectiveness in all those around them.

When first discovered in 845.M36, they were taken to the Black Ships by the newly formed Ordo Hereticus. The fate of the vessel conveying the Apex Twins is not recorded, but it was discovered in the Medrenax Nebula by Inquisitor Castinus, all of its occupanys - crew and prisoners alike - slain in a gory fashion. Castinus took the twins to Nemesis Tessera for study, but they escaped, killing many inquisitors and Inquisitorial troops in the process.

Following this event, the twins were captured on the world of Respa III by Inquisitor Commodus Voke in the Helican subsector. In 338.M41, during the Holy Novena, in which a number of captured heretics were paraded on Thracian Primus, the twins escaped again. This event became known as the Thracian Atrocity, such was the loss of life and destruction wrought that day. After the carnage, the twins were not found, and it is rumoured they now roam the Agrippa sector.
