Executioners are Specialized Hive Knights deployed by Hive brood leaders to hunt down and slay specific Lightbearers. It is unknown what brood these knights belong to, but they appear as Black in color with blackened blades and can manifest a chain whip to hook their foes in for devastating attacks. Their appearance suggests Hidden Swarm but according to Hive files they don't belong to any Brood and are merely called upon to serve when all other methods fail. They are Ascendant Hive so even if a Hive Executioner is slain, they will revive and return unless slain in the Ascendant Plane. Whereas the Hated serves as Executioner for those in the Hive who commit Heresy or are marked for Ritual Sacrifice. These Knights are hunters, they stalk their prey and collect their ghosts at trophies, marking their kills. Fighting one alone may not pose too much of a challenge, but the executioner rarely hunts alone. It utilizes plenty of cannon fodder or other distractions to keep fireteam members occupied while it attempts to slay its target Lightbearer. An executioner might even wait until a fireteam has engaged another powerful foe before making its appearance.
