Assassin.jpg

Embraces those who discard the belief that overarching power must be fought with equal power. Assassins believe that hierarchies, however powerful, can be unbalanced and toppled by insurgency, terrorism and surgically applied force. The assassin is a fighter prepared to use any means necessary to accomplish goals. Those goals are personal and may be far-ranging, depending on the assassin — but they are as blunt and deliberate as a knife through an enemy's ribs.

Assassins are often found leading informal wars, acting to defend rebellions of the weak against their masters, acting as spies and heads of cabals, raiding kingdoms and empires — or merely adventuring to accumulate resources, for an intended putsch or the establishment of a political faction.
