Emo Assassin

Also known as Daud, the Emo Assassin is the Obese Assassin’s former childhood friend and apprentice. He wears lace-up boots, heavy eyeliner, writes depressing poetry, and listens to Linkin Park. Unlike the Assvengers, Emo Assassin is a freelance, independent assassin, and therefore has little to no affiliation. From a young age, Daud was raised on the streets. As a child, he only ever sought comfort in one person, Corvo, who was his only friend. They bonded over their love of snacks, and mutual respect for assassins. As they learned to adapt to the cruel ways of the world, they did so together. However, puberty hit them both like a brick. While they suffered through the awkwardness of most teenagers, they both found themselves confronted with something much greater than increasing testosterone...magical powers. They called their magic "blinking". By the time they reached adulthood, they found themselves quarreling. While Obese Assassin was naturally gifted at attacks and snackcraft, Daud often struggled with assassinations. He didn't have the same pep as his friend. This began to fuel jealousy within him, one he could not control. Obese Assassin, believed in Daud. He loved him dearly. They spent many nights together by the light of the whale-oil lamp. But Daud's jealousy was stronger than love. He cut ties with Obese Assassin, afraid that the jealousy might stir violence in him.

Later, in the original Dishonored game, Obese Assassin is clearly in a loving relationship with the Empress, and is even assumed to be the father of the Empress’ daughter, Emily. When this news reached Daud, he was heartbroken. In a fit of rage and jealousy, he assassinated the Empress, and crowned himself, the “Emo Assassin”. This only worsened the state of his relationship with Obese Assassin. Now, with a tattered bond and little respect left for each other, they strayed further apart, and, whilst co-existing, refuse to acknowledge each other’s existence.

In the DLC “Bridgemore Witches”, Emo Assassin and Obese Assassin both challenge and fight each other in a sword fight. In the end, they both lived.

He is also extremely good at problem-solving (unless it involves solving problems in his relationships). Aside from that, he is phenomenal at karaoke, specifically when singing Linkin Park.

### **Weaknesses**

Unfortunately, Emo Assassin's angst is his greatest flaw in the sense that he has trouble controlling it when he needs to focus on a task at hand. He lack of experience in the sneaking skill makes him more vulnerable to attacks and also makes it more difficult for him to successfully execute his assassinations. His sneak skill is further hindered by the squeakiness of his leather boots, which easily give him away.
