Quotes

“Okay chummer who’s the mark? And what’s my time frame?”

“Excuse me but you contacted me. And of course I’m a professional, THAT is why you have never heard of me.”

“When you have worked in this business for as long as I have you are either good, locked down, or dead. … So what do you think of my credentials?”

Commentary

The assassin is a professional at what he does and could almost be considered an artist in a dark sort of way. The job can be anything from cake to a gauntlet and he has the fairest chance of any in the shadows to pull it off with precision and accuracy. He/She is a thinker and often a philosopher. And rarely has to worry about getting paid for services rendered.

(The assassin is a touchy archetype to say the least for a GM to add to his/her campaign. It is strongly recommended that the GM keep a careful eye on the assassins that they allow into play and if they are played outlandishly the PC should be removed from the game.)
