Hassin shifts his looks towards Xander, immediately. In a flash, he produces a wicked, slender and twisted blade, black as night, dripping with something foul. He slides almost instantly to where Xander is standing, and the dagger is a mere inch from his neck.
YOU WERE ONE OF THEM?
His eyes are near glowing red with fury as he speaks. The oriental man is incredibly frightening this way, and you see he's no mere servant... He moves too quickly, too smoothly, too deadly-like, to be a mere servant.
But almost instantly after that, he backed out and stowed his weapon once more. In a cold, nearly dead voice, he says: These are not my orders. I don't kill unless i am ordered to, or to defend myself.
He slithers away into the shadows, and goes almost out of sight.
I am Hassin, and i am a member of an ancient order of Assassins that exists since Xerxe's Persian Empire. Solomon found me bleeding, nearly dead, in Jerusalem, after i had failed my attempt at assassinating the leader of the Holy Knight Crusaders. They had me drawn and quartered, castrated and branded. I was ready to let myself die, but they wouldn't let it happen. They tracked down my brothers and sisters, and they did the same they did to me to them, even the initiates, the children, the servants, and the pleasure women. They showed no mercy, and they showed no hesitation. They said we were not sons of god, that we were already doomed to hell, and that doing what they did was God's will. They are ignorant, they do not know that our God is one and the same. This was not God's will...
Fading even more into shadow, Hassin is now completely invisible, and seems like a disembodied voice
But like a thing out of the myths, Solomon appeared to me in my cell, while i was weak and almost dying, serving as food for rats and insects. He said to me that i had useful skills, and that my spite and hatred was strong, and that i could have my revenge. He healed me, and told me how i could escape. He gave me the blade you saw, and told me to use it to do my revenge. And so i did. I escaped, and he found me. He told me he would recruit more, and would find a way to bring down the Church. You are those.
He stops for a while... His voice now seems to come from another corner of the room.
Don't doubt his power. It's real. If he says it can be done, then it can be done. He told me, that when a beast is too big and too bloated, so big you can't reach it's head and cut it off, that you have to cut it's tendons and let it collapse under it's own weight. This is what we will do, we will turn the Church in against itself.
Now, rest. Tomorrow we will hear Solomon and what he has planned.
