Tag: assassin

An assassin is a professional murderer; it is their job or profession to be hired to kill people. When events like one-off murders appear, they should be tagged on anime level. Only professional killers will be tagged with assassin tag.

Assassins are often hireable to take out hits (or targets) designated by a client (or temporary employer) for a predetermined fee. Not all assassins work solo and may have a partner or even a team of more than two members. Assassinations may be prompted by religious, ideological, political, or military motives. Additionally, assassins may be prompted by financial gain, revenge for perceived grievances, a desire to acquire fame or notoriety (that is, a psychological need to garner personal public recognition), a wish to form some kind of "relationship" with the public figure, a wish or at least willingness to be killed or commit suicide in the attack.
