Expert Assassin

Reference Book: Star Wars Saga Edition Scum and Villainy

Affiliations: The Fringe

Expert Assassins are more than simple killers-for-hire. They are experienced, trained masters of dealing death outside normal combat. An Expert Assassin doesn't need to master the arts of mass battle, instead learning to kill at a time and place that removes as many variables as possible. Although dangerous in a stand-up fight, the Expert Assassin prefers to strike when the target is alone and vulnerable. Likely tactics include taking out targets at extreme range, setting explosives to eliminate them in their homes or vehicles, or finding an isolated venue in which to stab them in the darkness.

Most Expert Assassins belong to a guild or order, and they must abide by its rules. Some happily kill anyone if paid to do so, while others slay only for religious or philosophical reasons. Even governments might employ Expert Assassins as a means of eliminating foes too public to arrest or kill in combat.
