The Assassin is one of the playable classes in Crowfall. The Assassin underwent a lot of changes and now belongs to the many available classes in the game, after the concept of archetypes was abandoned by the Developers. With the massive reveal on May 18th, 2017, the Assassin now can be played by several races, too.
