Legendary Assassin

You are more than just a killer—you are a ghost, a whisper in the wind, a name spoken only in fear. Your blade has ended kings, silenced warlords, and changed the course of history. No prison has held you, no enemy has bested you, and no contract has ever gone unfulfilled. Some say you are immortal, others believe you don’t exist at all. The truth? You are simply the best there is.

Skill Proficiencies: Stealth, Perception

Tool Proficiencies: Disguise kit, Poisoner’s kit

Languages: One of your choice.

Equipment: A set of common clothes with a hood, a hidden dagger, a vial of poison, a token from a past contract (a signet ring, a lock of hair, or a coin with a strange marking), and a pouch with 15 gold pieces.
