Countless lives have been spent, lost, and taken, in the pursuit of power and skill to face conflicts. Whether it be the savagery of the tribes, the grace of the fencer, or even the incantations of the priests. An equal devotion has been given to the study of the art of murder; the intentional and deliberate act not of conflict, but of the snuffing of lives through the path of least resistance and defense. If entirely as effective as the other pursuits of arms and battle and struggle, the art of murder has a more disreputable reputation, if only due to the views of those who often fail to see themselves in a true light.

Assassins, practitioners of the art of murder, hail from many diverse origins and studies, drawn to their labors and efforts for a myriad of reasons, though coin generally prevails. They bring with them unique talents and approaches, to which they add training in subterfuge, diversion, precision, surprise, and a score of other skills and means as suit their dispositions and abilities. The only consistency between these practitioners of murder is a focus on the end result; a cooling corpse replacing a living being, on their terms, at their chosen place and time.

Individuals who tread this path do so at their own risk, both physically, and morally. Once someone begins to embrace such, they may very well find that they become a victim of the art of murder as much as their own victims, descending into a morally bleak and dark life from which there is no return.
