Suggested Characteristics

While assassins may seem like villains to most, and some may be so to the core, but not all have evil intentions.  Some even have endearing, if not somewhat redeeming, characteristics.  There may be honor among thieves, but assassins often believe themselves to be above traditional law and authority, following the that of their chosen organization instead.
