Thief Guild assassination, is a matter of technique.
Face-to-face brute force killings are only for fools and ill-suited for those engaged in running gambling dens and cheating, instead they emphasize a leverage method of assassination that achieves a lot with a little.
The highest experts in the field of political assassination from the Thief Guild are called "Shadow Messengers", rumored to be blessed by the Night Goddess.
Just like how every impressive organization on the Western Continent comes with mythological endorsements, Diaz also cultivated corporate culture and backed it up with a rather intimidating evil god.
This Night Goddess isn't a formal deity, known rather as the Shadow Lady or the unknowable, always hidden and omnipresent.
When a Shadow Messenger assassinates, the importance is on silence profound, blending into the night with the wind, subtly as moisture in the air.
Put plainly, it's like Yang Ying's figurine, BABY doll.
