Few will interfere with the hunting Assassin, sable-clad, dagger on brow, passing amongst them, going quietly about his work. - (Plunder of Gor, Chapter 26, Sentence #27)

For example, vendettas occasionally take place amongst families, in which the polity, and others, respecting the wishes of the participants, decline to intervene. Given such considerations, and the consequent difficulty, frequently recognized, of obtaining justice, satisfaction, or vengeance, as the case may be, one can well understand the existence of an order of men, itinerant, independent, dedicated, armed, and skilled, for hire. Such men may, for example, pursue a fugitive from city to city with impunity, regardless of caste, warfare, and Home Stone. Few will interfere with the hunting Assassin, sable-clad, dagger on brow, passing amongst them, going quietly about his work. Similarly, few would challenge the wind, or the dark sky from which lightning might strike. Some Assassins are particular in accepting their commissions, but, clearly, others are not. One might accept a handful of copper tarsks to do justice, at least as he understands it, whereas another, for a purse of gold, might kill an administrator, murder a business rival, or eliminate a competitive legatee. - (Plunder of Gor)
