The [[Order of Mage Slayers]] was formed after the [[Vizjerei]] survived the tragedy brought on by [[Bartuc]] and [[Horazon]]. 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. ==Special Interests==The order has been watching over the powerful mage [[Ormus]] for quite some time, thinking his madness could possibly be a demonic corruption taking over. It's possible they keep tabs on many individuals in this manner.[http://www.diablowiki.net/Ormus_dialogue] ==Known Assassins==* '''[[Natalya]]''' - Placed in [[Kurast Docks]] 20 years ago in the demonic invasion. Was forced to stay in the docks awaiting orders while the heroes saved the docks and killed [[Mephisto]]. Presumably met up with the heroes again in [[Harrogath]], or she might have defended some other [[Barbarian]] outpost, seeing as the Assassin hero is sent there.
