How is it a paradox for people outside the game, to know who the best assassins in-game are? We are not the general populace of Tamriel. True, you're not going to find many texts associated with it listing names, but still, come on....

Best Assassins? Look to the east, to Morrowind. However this IS a point of conjecture that can be stated to have some conflict with OB as the Morag Tong and the Dark brotherhood HATE each other. Like, hate-hate. Like, think of every religious order in our history that has hated each other, and how bloody it has been. That level of hate. Not to mention these are both organizations that employ folks who kill others like they were killing a fly.

Try looking up some folks who were in Daggerfall maybe?

That's one of the keys to Elder Scrolls lore... we often are treated like the general population, privvy to the same ignorance, lies, and bias.

The Shadowscales of Argonia are probably impressive: born into their profession by their sign.

Gogron gro-Bolmog says to Ocheeva: Hey baby, what's your sign?

Don't forget Fedris Hler. He ended up the leader of the Hands of Almalexia, some of the most powerful mortal warriors in Tamriel.

I think Almalexia is the leader of the Hands of Almalexia. Fedris Hler was another servant, a enigmatic one though. It's the name, Hler, that makes the player wonder who sent the assassin in the place. Of course, we all know it was Helseth and that he's really evil and bad.

I don't recall Hler being associated with the Lady's guards though...

You know I think the best assassins in Morrowind were those two you had to kill for the"PERHAPS A SPOILER I DON'T KNOW SO BE WARNED'.Marag tong when and you can get that note for the duke in Orvis Dren's platation ,dang I can't remember their names though perhaps someone else remembers.Anyway these guys were pretty tough customers.

Just be imaginative.

Best? Dont know.

Coolest? Dram.

Why is people so inlove with Dram? I dont think Dram was so cool or good or nice..

Vehk. He murdered Nerevar.

I just liked his colourfull outfit.

In Mournhold, it is said that he's the leader of the Hands. Well, technically, Almalexia is the head, but I imagine that he's like the leader of the Secret Service. There are rumors in-game that he was once an assassin.

Oh I see. That makes sense. That's one of the things I liked about him also.

Well a few DB assassins that killed my character......

Fedris Hler from mournhold. I believe it is stated somewhere that he was an accomplished assassin.

The Ienith brothers. They're also a target in a Thieves Guild quest.

Yes thats them thanks.

Yes. He's a Temple Agent, but an assassin by "class". He's interesting in the fact that in a city controlled by a legion of High Ordinators, and Royal Guards, assassins are present.
