Assassin

Sneaky people in black.

From the Rulebook

Assassins were once so powerful in the Middle East that Hulagu Khan had to storm their mountain fortress when they demanded tribute. Renaissance Italy and its setting of political intrigue made the courtly killing an art form.

Examples: The Ninja, the Borgias, the Jackal, Hassan-I-Sabah, Sir Francis Walsingham
