Assassin

An assassin is a person who secretly kills someone, often for political, financial, or strategic reasons. They typically operate covertly to avoid detection and may be hired or motivated by personal or organized interests. The act is usually planned in advance and carried out discreetly to achieve a specific objective, often involving targeting a prominent individual. While historically associated with political killings, modern assassins can also be involved in criminal activities or covert operations. Their actions are generally illegal and considered serious crimes under the law.
