	~~The Order of Mage Slayers was formed after~~ the Vizjerei survived the tragedy brought on by Bartuc and Horazon. Their purpose was to watch for rogue magi that may become corrupted by the forces of Evil. To be effective at this task they were trained in abilities that were not conducive to Demonic corruption. Living as rumor and myth to the general population, ~~even other magi knew very little about this mysterious order. Their reputation was shrouded in mystery and~~ the ~~simple fear of their retribution almost ensured steadfast vigilance against corruption amongst those who knew they were real~~.		For more information about the {{PAGENAME}}, see the '''[[{{PAGENAME}}\|{{PAGENAME}} article]]'''.

	Assassins do not employ the magical arts directly; rather, they use enchanted items that mimic elemental powers and can be used autonomously. To further avoid potential corruption, they focus on the natural abilities of the mortal body - powers of the mind and unarmed combat.

The Assassin character was introduced in Diablo II: Lord of Destruction. She is not found in the original Diablo II game. With this character, Blizzard North aimed to create a character that could be used with fast hitting melee attacks, deal strong elemental damage, and use magical spells to hit from a distance.

	<blockquote>The Assassins are an ancient order originally founded by the Vizjerei to hunt down and eliminate rogue mages within their own ranks. Employing secret disciplines to combat and resist the magical abilities of their elusive quarry, the Assassin's bag of tricks includes traps and other infernal devices, martial arts, and powerful mental abilities. Common people know nothing of the Assassins, but they are widely feared and respected by all who employ the magic arts.</blockquote>
