Definition of Assassin

Role as an Assassin
The Assassin is usually viewed as the scoundrel of the race in many MMORPGs. Assassin, also know as Sin, is closely related to the archetypical thief class. Although the thief class in Aion doesn't exist, the Assassin is still viewed as a dishonorable class because of their ambush and poisoning skills.

According to the official Lore of Aion, "Elysean Assassins have been known to follow Vaizel, the Lord of Free Souls, while Asmodian Assassins tend to serve Triniel, the Queen of Death."

So What is your Role of an Assassin?
As much as you are despised for your sneakiness, and sly tactics you are still a very important class in your Faction. Just think of yourself as James Bond working for your Faction, doing all the dirty work of assassination. So what does James Bond do, other than getting the beautiful ladies? He acts in stealth, undercover, and uses any means necessary to achieve his goal.

In many ways your role as an Assassin will be just like James Bond. With all your attacking skills and the ability to inflict a large amount of damage in a short period of time, being an Assassin makes you one of the most valuable damage dealer (also known as a DD class in the game).
