Assassin
A professional killer for hire or cause slips past flanking and surprise attempts from lesser threats, dodging blows with practiced ease.
Assassins commit murder, either for pay or due to their belief in a cause, such as a religion or a political movement. Many are members of assassins' guilds: organizations that accept contracts to kill in return for money, favors, or both.
