Some people become assassins out of greed, or for political reasons or merely because they don't have any marketable skills other than shooting people. Not you. You're different, though. For you, death is a friend, a constant companion, a lover... and an art form to be mastered. You are one of the greatest hired killers on the planet simply because you don't view yourself as just another mercenary: you see yourself as a combination of artist, serial predator and harbinger of a final but strangely peaceful transition. Unlike most assassins, you prefer to know your victims, to make your execution of the target a kind, almost loving dispatch rather than an example of brutal efficiency. You are selective in your choice of assignments. Gentle Assassins are a quintessentially Bastian creation: they kill, but in accordance with the Measured Harm Doctrine. Precise, humane and efficient, Gentle Assassins are usually high ranking Perseus intelligence agents, or drawn from the ranks of the culture's Sanctioned Veneficias. Bastian Gentle Assassins favor edged weapons- slitting a throat with their own talons, or AI-designed nanotoxins specifically tailored to their victims.
