The '''Assassins''', also known as the '''Viz-Jaq'taar''' (and sometimes '''Khral-Harzhek'''), that - the '''Order of Mage Slayers''' - joined in the war against [[Diablo]] in [[Diablo II]] are . They will not going to be included as a playable [[class]] in [[Diablo III]]. They are also known as the '''Order of Mage Slayers'''.
==Background==The [[Order of Mage Slayers]] was formed after the [[Vizjerei]] survived the tragedy brought on by [[Bartuc]] and [[Horazon]] during the [[Mage Clan Wars]]. 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 rumour 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.
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.
==Name of the Order==
While Viz-Jaq'taar is the most commonly known name of the order, [[Deckard Cain]] has been known to refer to them as '''Khral-Harzhek'''[http://www.diablowiki.net/Deckard_Cain_dialogue] as well. If this is a competing order, the name of the order in another language, or how these relate, is unknown.
