terminators
Those who conclude
Terminators are things that end or conclude something.
In astronomy, the terminator is the line dividing the illuminated and dark portions of a celestial body—the boundary between day and night on the moon or a planet.
In genetics, a terminator is a DNA sequence that signals the end of transcription.
The word gained pop-culture currency from the *Terminator* film franchise, where it names robotic assassins: He walked toward us like a terminator.
