“ | "Dad? Dad, I'm a- Ye- Not a "crazed gunman", dad, I'm an assassin! ...Well, the difference bein' one is a job and the other's a mental sickness!" | „ |

Heroic Assassins are heroes that commit the act of assassination, which is a pre-meditated killing of another person that is usually done in either a discreet or particularly audacious manner (such as killing them in front of a crowd for example).
While this is usually a villainous deed, there are some morally ambiguous heroes who have employed assassination to kill particularly corrupt and/or wicked individuals. Nevertheless, such actions tend to place a character firmly in Anti-Hero territory.
Note: Purely Good heroes never count as this as those types of heroes are not considered Sympathetic, Merciful and incorruptible. Assassins kill another person that is usually done in either a discreet or particularly audacious manner, and have corrupting qualities.
