### First Appearance

"Kiss of the Spiderwoman"

Rum Talutah, also known as 'The Assassin'. is an antagonist in Team OPRA's story. He is a high ranking assassin for the White Fang and a member of Sable Vedova's inner council. His weapons are a pair of Handgun Katars named Spite and Malice.

## Appearance

### Physical

Rum stands at 6'1 and has a semi-muscular frame. He has peach-fair skin with black hair that is cut into a messy spikey short style. He has a rectangular head shape with yellow eyes. Being a feline faunus, he has a pair of cat ears on the top of his head that are the same colour as his hair.

### Attire

Rum's original attire consists of a padded tyrian purple and black tank top over a neck-high turtleneck skin tight top and a pair of brown trousers. On his feet he wears a pair of black shoes and black gloves on his hands. Rum then wears a baggy black overcoat with the symbol of The White Fang on the back. Being a White Fang assassin, Rum wears a white and red layered helmet instead of the traditional mask, with two slots cut out for his cat ears.

## Personality

Rum is shown to be an extremely violent, sadistic and terrifying individual. He thrives on causing harm to others and is shown to be joyful in the hatred others have for him. He is also described not to be above threats and acts of intimidation, as evident in scaring Mai Pembe into luring Ophelia to him. Rum is shown to be obsessive over others to an unhealthy degree and is pleasured by the suffering of his victims, as evident in how he laughs when stabbing Ophelia and fatally injuring her.

## Abilities and Powers

Rum is shown to be a highly competent and extremely dangerous foe to battle. He is incredibly agile in his movement, able to avoid most attacks and become nigh untouchable before going in to attack. He is also highly ruthless and aggressive in his fighting mostly for the pleasure of seeing his opponents suffer. Rum is also seen to incorporate his semblance into his attack, one that is shown to be passive and can catch his opponents off guard by making him even stronger than suspected.

### Weapons

Rum's weapons are a pair of Dual Semi Pistol Katars. The weapons are a pair of semi-auto pistols made from a black frame. On the barrels of the pistols are the frames and blades of katar daggers. While his weapons don't do significant damage, it is The Assassin's fighting capabilities and ability to easily take a person's aura out that can make these weapons dangerous and perfect for when he goes in for the kill.

### Semblance

Rum's semblance is merely called *Hatred.* A constantly working and passive semblance, it can be assumed that Rum can grow stronger and faster the more a target shows hatred. Because of this he can easily overpower an enemy as long as they feel hatred towards him.

## Relationships

### Sable Vedova

Surprisingly, Sable and Rum are shown to have a decent business-like relationship with each other.
