An Assassin's job is simply to kill whatever they were hired to kill, often with ruthless efficiency and/or minimal collateral. In the best situations, Assassins are anti-heroes fullfulling an honorable and necessary role, as they provide swift justice to those who believe they are above the laws of nature and society. In the worst situations, Assassins are soulless killers belonging to a cult or organization of some sort which is predominately evil in nature; their loyalty ultimately lies to whoever is paying them better.
