Assassin

Creature 8 — human, humanoid

Assassins commit murder, either for pay or due to their belief in a cause, such as a religion or a political movement. Many are members of assassins' guilds: organizations that accept contracts to kill in return for money, favors, or both. In the underbelly of society, the lawless reign supreme.
