Thane, cuz he's awesome, and has character. Either him or bob lee swagger, cuz, well he can kill a man at over a mile and a half, i mean come on, that's about the best you getin the assasin trade.

Obviously, the greatnes assassin knows, that stealth and annonymousity is important, and would never let him/her be a main character in a game, i mean comeon, if you saw someone who looked like 47 or altair/ezio walk around, the first thing you'd think would be ASSASSIN, not a very good disguise in my honest ninja oppinion.
Ezio, mainly because:
1) tactically flexible. If he can't slowly walk towards you, then he can probably do other things. Follow you from the rooftops, then leap down and stab you in the face. Or, cause a commotion somewhere to draw your guards away, slip away and then stab you in the face while your guards are distracted.
2) Man can hold his own in a fight. At least you know that if things go pear-shaped, Ezio can get out unscathed.

I can't really call Ezio and Altair assassins as they they just arn't. THey just walk up to their targets and kill them in broad day light with everyone watching. I think assassins require a bit of stealth. 47 is easily my favourite out of them.
I nominate HK-47.
He's an assassin droid, so it counts. One of the greatest characters from this decade, he's got more personality in a single bolt than most other contenders combined ... and he's a freakin ROBOT!

Thane Krios. Utterly destroyed an entire mercenary platoon without being seen, a master of stealth, effective sniper, stylish, a biotic, and utterly frickin' lethal at close range. He'd take on Altair, Ezio and 47 at once and walk away smiling. Plus, that trench coat is awesome.
Agreed. The first book seemed just the right mix of gritty realism and fantasy. Yes, there was magic, but it had it's limits and the characters seemed human. The second and third books removed said limits to increasingly alarming degrees (to the point where one character actually flies) and the characters became cardboard cutouts (with the exception of Vi, but, while I appreciate what he did with her, I felt that her transformation was a bit to sudden, too rapid). Combined with incredibly poor decisions (like giving the ka'Kari a personality and voice, and returning you know who from the dead {I liked the character, but his death was an important plot point and added a lot of depth to the emotional interplay in the books. Bringing him back completely ruined that]), it all lead to books that barely resemble the first.LorChan said:
Overall, I think my biggest problem is that I see wetboys as a sort of specialized assassins, not something else entirely. I would define an assassin as anyone who discreetly kills someone for profit. SO wetboys fit the bill.
Yes. But not Conviction Sam Fisher. All that 'your daughter is alive' bullshit went to his head.Programmed_For_Damage said:
And can Altiar and Ezio really be called Assassins? Not once did I do a successful assassination on Ass-Creed one or two without the entire city chasing after me. Whereas in Hitman Blood Money I can get Silent Assassin in the majority of levels.
47 has guns, gadgets, costumes, and is so good at killing people, he makes their deaths look like accidents.
ezio and altair have white robes and wrist knives, yay.

Was Batman really trained by ninjas or are you just going based off of Batman: Begins?AngelicSven said:Reminds me of:AjimboB said:The answer:
What? Batman counts! He was trained as a ninja, and ninja are assassins, ergo Batman is an assassin who refuses to kill people.
I think Sam would be a better NATURAL ninja because he uses a pair of goggles and a knife. I've gone through many of the games without using the gun at all, except maybe the sticky shocker. Batman has a plathorea of gagets

Vetinari once killed a man unobserved by anyone but the target, without laying a hand on him, or doing anything harmful to him at all besides being in the same room.
I like the Assassin's Creed games better, but I think that Agent 47 would be a far better assassin. He actually conceals his weapons and uses stealth instead of jumping off a building and landing on his target's face, as seems to be the most effective method in AC.
