The Assassin
The Assassin (sometimes called the Gelert Assassin) is a Grey Gelert who was hired by The Darkest Faerie to hunt down Roberta and Tormund. He spends much of his time attempting to stop the heroes from advancing, only directly attacking them on their first and last meeting.
A book featuring him can be found in the Gelert Family Crypts, stating that after his love died, he turned bitter and became an assassin.

Neopets: The Darkest Faerie[edit]
- Main article: Neopets: The Darkest Faerie
The Assassin appears in the third act of the game. The first time Tor and Roberta encounter him, he attacks them just outside of Brightvale Castle. However, the knights guarding the gate rush to their aid, and the Assassin escapes. After this, the Assassin makes several attempts to inconvenience the pair, such as causing Sludgies and skeletons to attack them, and breaking the lift to Illusen's Glade. He makes another appearance just outside of the dark cloud wall surrounding Meridell, stating that it is impenetrable.
Tor and Roberta finally face off with the Assassin in Illusen's Glade, but the Assassin escapes before he can be defeated.
Trivia[edit]
- The Assassin is misidentified in his Neopets TCG appearance as a Lupe instead of a Gelert. This was acknowledged by The Neopets Team as an error, who explained that the card had already been printed when it was spotted.
- There is an image of an Assassin Plushie in the image database, but as of October 2012 is unreleased.
