The Contract
Assassins have varied lives of danger and espionage, most of which have learned to conceal their true emotions. As the lives they lead are double faced, but as such usually see others as acting the same way, as a precaution at the very least. However their jobs often lead to certain complications which may cause them to either flee their position or make them even more steadfast in their loyalty.

Feature: Ties to the Craft
Being an established assassin you were occasionally surprised by where your next would be. In order for this to have as little affect as possible you have at least basic political knowledge on most other locations. Due to your experience dealing in travelling outside your base of operations you know how to phrase your words, so commoners and merchants are less likely to ask questions about your requests and inquiries.
Suggested Characteristics
Just because someone's job includes murder, espionage, blackmail, and other such things doesn't mean they don't have morals. Maybe very, very loose morals, but morals nonetheless. Although each one is their own person they tend to trend toward subtle and quiet, but there are always exceptions.
