Storyline by Rainimator and the Production Team

―Rainimator on Twitter

The **Order of the Nether Assassins** were mercenaries hired by King Naeus of the  Nether Horde to hunt down the Last Ender Watchers. As a group, they appeared only in "Wishing Dead". Three were slain by Zeganirn minutes after their arrival into the Overworld. The fourth, Djinn, managed to turn Stella into a netherkin but was quickly beheaded by Rain.

## Information

―Kane to Endstone Crusaders and Ser Patrick

The Assassins were a group of Nether Beings sent to hunt down the The Last Ender Watchers: Zeganirn, Stella and Rain. They were summoned and tasked by Naeus to kill Zeganirn (which they succeeded doing at the cost of all but Djinn) and to turn Stella and Rain into Netherkin using knives coated in a special poison. Djinn was successful in only striking down Stella, as Rain deflected the knife. After a fight, he was quickly blinded, and was decapitated with the Ender Greatsword by Rain.

### Ifrit

**Ifrit** (Codename: **Conquer**) was a blazekin assassin. He was seen inspecting the End Chest. Upon realizing it was a trap, he and Amon were attacked by Zeganirn, who flung him into the river, killing him. He wielded a flaming shortsword.

### Amon

**Amon** (Codename: **Destroy**) was a wither skeleton assassin. He was shown along with Ifrit looking into the Ender Chest. Right after the blazekin realized it was a trap, they were sprung on by Zeganirn. After seeing his partner being thrown into the river, he was able to block a few attacks before getting stabbed by Zeganirn with his blade. Amon's body can be seen behind Zeganirn during Falling. He wielded a black halberd.

### Namtar

**Namtar** (Codename: **Execute**) was a pigman assassin. He was seen stepping out of a Nether Portal, observing Amon and Ifrit inspect an empty End Chest. After realizing the End Chest was a diversion, he witnessed Amon and Ifrit get killed by a rampaging Zeganirn, and was next killed by being decapitated via Zeganirn's bite. He wielded a shortsword.

## Appearances
