Caligni Assassin
This assassin counters light itself, unraveling any spell meant to expose it and cloaking its own death in a burst of darkness.
Bred for murder in the lightless deeps, the caligni assassin is a killer of shadows who treats darkness as both armor and accomplice. It strikes from the dark, snuffs any flame that threatens to expose it, and bleeds away into gloom when it falls.
