Divine Assassin

Divine Assassin

Divine Assassins are fictional characters in the science fiction television series Lexx. They are portrayed as undead creatures that carry out the will of His Divine Shadow, in adherence to a religious cult called the Divine Order.

Numbering in the thousands, Divine Assassins are dead flesh, processed by the Divine Order's "Bio-Scholars" under the direct supervision of the Grand Bio-Vizier. They are decarbonized, removing any trace of organic material, and cybernetically augmented. As a result, Divine Assassins are very nearly indestructible. Their only weaknesses are their dependence on protoblood, a liquid that is necessary to animate them, and an inability to swim (due to the increased density of decarbonized flesh).

The body of a Divine Assassin is polymorphic. If one is sliced in half, one would simply rejoin the two parts.
