Serial Killer Image

You understand death, stealth, and getting away with murder. You carry a deadly title, and villages, townsfolk, criminals and all alike fear your undercover name(or real name if that is what you use for your killings) and work. Your true identity might be unknown to people but they all still fear you, a former merchant caught in the middle of a war, or a disheartened scoundrel with a disproportionate sense of "justice". Or you could be an honest, hard-working landowner who cares deeply about the people close to you, who just happens to enjoy others suffering a bit to much

Work with your DM to come up with an appropriate title and determine how much authority that title carries in the underworld. A killer title doesn’t stand on its own—it’s connected to an entire case of murders, and whatever title you hold, you will pass it down to your own disciple or you cannot not have if you don't want one. Not only do you need to determine your work efficiency, but you should also work with the DM to describe how much people fear you and your influence on other with your work.

was your killing passed down to you by a mentor, or was your killing only destined for you eventualy? What kind of reputation does your family have among the other insane killers of the region? How do the common people see you compared to the others?

What’s your position in the underworld? Are you the feared leader who rules everyone using fear? Have you already decided to retire the title? How do you feel about the about the wrong you've done? Or are you so far mentaly sick that you don't feel the slightest of remorse or guilt, and as long as you don’t caught you feel nothing? How does the head of the royal guard feel about you and your work? Do you have a snitch or a rat on the inside of the police, who gives you all the dirty secrets you need to know to avoid getting caught?

Do you calling card so people know that you murdered that person? A secret intimidating name to strike fear in to peoples heart when they hear it? 

These details help establish your killings and your title as features of the world of the campaign.
