This Assassin is a male human thief found in the secret Illithid Hideout that's accessible from the Sewers underneath the Temple District.
Gameplay[]
This assassin is encountered in the second chamber of the illithid complex. The assassin is ostensibly represented as being dire charmed and controlled by the mind flayers and forced to defend against the party's intrusion. This is conveyed by certain on-screen dialogue messages displayed when the encounter occurs. The assassin will move towards and target the nearest detected enemy.
The creature wears an undroppable ring, which is near clone of Edventar's Gift, and it makes the assassin immune to most all mobility limiting status effects. The assassin attacks using his short sword in stabbing melee combat, but he can't take advantage of using backstab to gain a tactical edge.

The Sword Coast Stratagems mod revises this thief. The mod assigns as Assassin kit. Weapon proficiencies are changed to 1 pip in short sword and one pip in single weapon fighting style.
A revised default AI script is assigned for better tactical behavior and potion use.
Three potions are scripted for use to heal or boost abilities, and to reapply invisibility.
The creature begins already invisible and will attack and perform a Backstab from that state. The assassin will expend its one use of Poison Weapon before doing so. After losing invisibility from the action, it will attempt to quaff another Potion of Invisibility right away and repeat that tactic, up to two more times.
