Best Video Game Assassins
Over all of those great games, who is the most deadly assassin?
Come on, hidden blades, hook blades, bombs, parachutes, throwing knives. How can you NOT like Ezio? He is a total badass and is the greatest video game character EVER.
He DEFINITELY deserves the top spot! He was my favorite assassin for a large portion of my life until I met HK-47, but he still deserves the top spot.
The Italian assassin from Assassin's Creed 2, Brotherhood, and Revelations.
Agent 47 is a fictional character and main protagonist of the Hitman video game series released by IO Interactive and Square Enix Europe. He is THE Silent Assassin. Give him a contract, and the target is dead. Nobody stands in his way.
Broke his back.
Rose from his deathbed.
Killed his only friend.

Agent 47 has been around for a little while but still could kick Ezio's ass.
Nina Williams is a fictional character from Namco's Tekken fighting game series. A cold-blooded Irish professional assassin, Nina made her first appearance in Tekken, the original game in the series She is one of four playable characters to appear in all main installments in the series and the only... read more In my opinion, Nina Williams is the best assassin.
In the Tekken series, she is not the main protagonist. However, she is one of the few characters to be in the roster since the beginning of the saga. She is absolutely awesome. Always considered a top-tier character, she plays an increasingly significant role in the storyline. She must be the only minor character from a fighting game franchise to star in her own spin-off (Death by Degrees).
She is a proficient killer with lethal abilities, able to use every kind of weapon from a basic knife to the most sophisticated sniper rifle. In hand-to-hand combat, her mastery of aikido and koppo gives her all the skills to finish the job. I enjoy her gameplay. She is fast and has a very complete move set, including flash kicks, huge slaps, nasty tricks, and constrictive chain throws.
Nina has a sculptural body shape with an hourglass figure, astonishing curves, long chiseled legs, and a voluptuous bust. She has just the perfect body. I love her long blond hair and her icy, deep steely blue eyes.
I love her charisma. She is cold, stoic, and merciless. Nina is a true femme fatale: frosty, mighty, haughty, yet seductive. I love her voice, which is both harsh and flirty. Her singular way of teasing those who get in her way is pure sex appeal. I love the way she dresses, her glamorous lipstick, her purple tight-fitting outfit. I love her swaying walk and how she sticks her sharp heels in her defeated opponents. She is so hot. Nina is both the most attractive woman and the deadliest weapon. She is sensual and lethal at the same time and arouses our most shameful urges (Eros and Thanatos) like nobody else. She is pure sex appeal.
Even without his powers, Corvo is able to travel across an entire city teeming with guards without a single person seeing him. Even his targets never know if he's there.
A guy who can go through the entire game without killing a single person. But seriously though, I love him.
His story is great, and he's strong. Ezio has more of a personality, but this guy deserves an even higher spot.
He was born into an order he didn't choose. His father was betrayed and killed thanks to his friend's father. His friend's father sneaks into his room and kills himself in front of him. His best friend thought it was his fault for his father's death. His mentor betrayed the order. He killed his mentor with his own blade. He was claimed a traitor by the order. He regained his rightful place as the mentor. He went away to help the brotherhood and got his youngest son killed. He was banished from the order. His order broke down. He made the first ever gun. He killed the only person who was his friend. As soon as he became the mentor, the Mongols invaded. He spent his last surviving moments guarding an artifact of infinite worth.
