Assassin, the Incident of Xuanwu Gate
The Incident of Xuanwu Gate has always been the most notorious assassination incident and coup in the history of China. The 2nd prince of the Empire assassinated the crown prince and other brothers, and started a coup to force his father, Emperor Gaozu, to pass down the crown to him.
This would indeed be the time when the best assassin is needed.
