Sniper

To kill without being in direct danger is what all ranged weapon users strive for, but most especially the Sniper. Snipers are considered stealthy marksman, their craft to deliver death from afar, their enemies clueless from the source of attack as they fall one by one. Their aim is considered to be the deadliest and their stealth makes it near impossible to even engage. That is because Snipers aren’t trained to fight, they are trained to execute and deliver death from a distance.
