Deathmaster Snikch

Deathmaster Snikch is the deadliest assassin Clan Eshin has ever produced, the personal blade of the shadowy Nightlord Sneek and the killer sent when a death must be certain. He is a legend spoken of in frightened whispers across the Under-Empire: the shadow that detaches from a wall, the throat opened between one breath and the next, the reason the powerful of Skavendom sleep behind thirteen locked doors and trust none of them. Where lesser assassins strike and flee, Snikch has been known to complete a contract in the heart of a rival's throne room and depart before the body has finished falling.

He goes to war swathed in black, hung with throwing stars and warpstone-tipped blades, wielding the Weeping Blades whose poisoned edges never cease to bleed. In battle he flickers through the enemy ranks unseen, materialising beside a general or champion to strike a single flawless killing blow, then vanishing before the bodyguards can turn. The Nightlord dispatches him to murder the leaders of Skaven and surface armies alike, and Snikch obliges with the quiet professional pride of a craftsman who has never once failed to deliver a corpse.
