Royal Assassin

Assassins in the employ of royalty would be the best killers in the realm should they have existed. Those are nothing but rumour and hearsay to the common citizen. Ofcourse, the presence of such individuals and the sinister purposes they got employed for are rather best kept in the dark. To that end, its not unknown for them to receive an position of office in the royal house alongside an new identity that would aid in concealing their true purpose as they meet and deal with the spymasters of the crown.

Each of those sinister individuals is a death machine whom has got countless assignments done under its belt prior to ascending to this position. Those who attempt to wiser their liege find themselves an dagger planted in the back, those who fail their assignment are lucky to have a shallow grave to lay in. Due to the dangerous nature of an assignment that warrants the deployment of an royal assassin they receive additional training in the various fields of subterfuge and combat from masters of the realm. One technique they learn is that of an secret spell that is taught by the chromatic order. This spell allows them to teleport right at the back of their target, mostentimes allowing for an easy kill before the target can even react to the presence of the Royal Assassin. The way an Royal Assassin fights is an art, nothing less than awe-inspiring.
The Royal Assassin operating from out the shadow combines his prowess with his training to get the deed done and longst gone before his presence had got to be known.
