TES title that really demonstrates this is Daggerfall, which was all about court intrigue.
Especially if it ment Political Power, and social influence. The killing of the Emperor's double in the tower of Solitude is more like their kill, though, or they would be the ones to pay an Assassin to do the dirty work. With that skillset, and very little else, you can do that very effectively. So, if you just stuck to that, they don't have any Sneak, or Weapon Skills, but yes, they could be quite deadly in a less direct, passive aggressive way.Īn Assassin is just someone who kills people for money. Of them, the first is associated with Daedra, and Necromancy, the second Poison, the third Paralysis, the fourth Mind Control, Restoration is generally considered Good, and lastly, Bribery, Persuasion, Intimidation, and Price Gouging. Look at their skills (which mostly reflect their role in society) Conjuration, Alchemy, Alteration, Illusion, Restoration, and Speech. Not so much an Assassin as a political tool for the Bene Gessurit, but I wouldn't put it past him. Hasimir Fenring is a Breton type character.
