    I’d love to see everyone from the Reddit sub move over here. The quality is just so good.

    Alas here I am linking to Wiki

    Carlos the Jackal

    Both is likely the correct answer, there have been a few; but most likely myth overshadows reality

      This is a good hitman figure to highlight. Notable he had KGB and Stasi support, rather than working for random individuals. One off hitmen for random individuals are a thing, and I’m sure at least a few of them have done repeat business, but most prolific hitmen do jobs for organizations for sure.

      The name assassin comes from hashish

      Idk if that makes them historical but I think it’s an interesting factoid
