| NOTE: This page is only about his original book version as his film counterpart Assassin was not voted Pure Evil, and thus only the Hassassin info and crimes should be put here. |
The Hassassin (referring to the Medieval Haschaschin of Hassan Ibn Sabbah; frequently referred to as "The Killer") is the secondary antagonist of the 2000 mystery novel Angels & Demons. He is a freelance assassin cooperated with the ancient Illuminati group carrying out evil deeds by another character named "Janus".
Unlike his counterpart Assassin from the 2009 film of the same name, the character from the book stands out for totally lacking the qualms and committing worse crimes than his film counterpart.
