Organization Assassin

As a young child your parents were the targets of this group of assassins. Afterwards you were taken by the assassin back to their base of operations to be inducted into the ranks and trained and raised as an assassin. Your youth was spent learning the ways of weapons and armor, poisons, disguising your appearance, how to pick up important information from your surroundings, the anatomy of various creatures (Humans, dragonborn, orcs etc), and how to pick locks.
