Assassin (Fate/Crossover - Snake Eyes)

**Assassin** (アサシン, *Asashin*) is the servant of ??? in the ??? Holy Grail War.

*"Snake-Eyes was tempered on the anvil of life until he was as dangerous as a razor-edged sword, flailing in the dark. The G.I. Joe Team sheathed that sword and harnessed its deadly energy but even they are wont to forget that even within the safety of its scabbard, the blade retains its cutting edge."* - File card report on Snake Eyes

## Profile

### Identity

Assassin's true identity is **Snake Eyes**, the silent Ninja Commando of the G.I. Joe team.

Very little is known of his early life and even less of his real name, which remains classified, if not lost to history. Some say he was a member of an LRRP squad in the Vietnam War who lost his parents and twin sister. Others say he was a homeless foreign child in Japan. Regardless of the fact, the most consistent details remain that he was adopted into the ninja clan known as the Arashikage Clan. He was sword-brother to Thomas Arashikage, both of whom trained under Thomas' uncle, the Hard Master. Snake Eyes proved himself worthy enough to succeed Hard Master over Thomas, causing a rift between the two. Snake Eyes was reluctant to accept, but Hard Master was sniped by an arrow during a demonstration of his sacred martial form, killing him. Snake Eyes would become a member of the elite special mission force G.I. Joe, while Thomas took up the codename Storm Shadow and joined the terrorist cabal Cobra. Snake Eyes became one of G.I. Joe's most key members in their battles to stop Cobra and their plans for world domination.

### Personality

Due to Snake Eyes being mute, he is a very mysterious individual. The reasons behind his muteness vary depending on the stories, from a vocal injury to a vow of silence. He carries himself with stoic professionalism expected of both a ninja and a soldier. He also has a sense of honor and nobility, fighting to protect the innocent and won't hesitate to rebel against Masters he finds immoral.

## Abilities

Snake Eyes is one of G.I. Joe's top members, with years of experience as a highly trained soldier and ninja. He is a qualified expert in all NATO and Warsaw Pact small arms and explosives, has black belts in at least 12 different forms of martial arts (including Karate, Judo, Jujutsu, Kung-Fu, Taekwondo, Muay Thai, Ninjutsu, and Kobudo), and is a master of edged weapons, such as his spike-knuckled trench knives and katana/scimitar swords.

From his training under the Hard Master, Snake Eyes has mastered exotic, borderline superhuman ninja techniques like the "The Sleeping Phoenix", which allows him to lower his vitals to an almost death-like state, and the "Seventh Step to the Sun", which can kill an opponent in seven blows.

### Skills

#### Class Skills

* Presence Concealment (A Rank):The ability to hides one's presence as a Servant. Suitable for spying. It is possible to disappear completely and become nearly impossible to be detected. The rank of Presence Concealment drops considerably when preparing to attack
* Riding (C Rank): He is able to perfectly ride motorcycles and most military vehicles. If summoned as a Rider, this skill would be B Rank.
* Independent Action (C Rank): It is possible for a Servant to stay in the world for one day without a Master. If summoned under the Archer Class, this skill would be B Rank.

#### Personal Skills

* Ninjutsu (A++ Rank): One can be said to be the equal of the heads of the Iga and the Koga. Snake Eyes was deemed worthy by the Hard Master of the Arashikage to succeed him.
* Subversive Activities (C- Rank): The ability to prune the opponent’s military strength in the preparation phase before conducting combat. The higher the ranking of this Skill, the lower one’s spiritual status as a Hero.
* Mind's Eye (True) (B Rank): Capable of calm analysis of battle conditions even when in danger and deduce an appropriate course of action after considering all possibilities to escape from a predicament.

### Noble Phantasm

#### **Timber**

Snake Eyes' loyal wolf companion. His bond with Timber is enough for him to qualify as a familiar and support Noble Phantasm. He is primarily used as a scout, a tracker and a guard. In combat, he is a support for Snake Eyes and his Master; While he can reasonably fight Masters and weaker Servants, he cannot defeat more battle-oriented Servants in direct combat, hence his relegation to a support role.
