       Assassins

       ..Aside from these common uses, sleen are put to other uses,
       too. In Thentis, for example, sleen are used to smell out
       contraband, in the form of the unauthorized egress of the beans
       for black wine from the Thentian territories. They are
       sometimes, too, used by assassins, though the caste of assassins
       itself, by their caste codes, precludes their usage; the member
       of the caste of assassins must make his own kill; it is in their
       codes....
       ---Slave Girl of Gor, 8:186-187
       "I see you are not of the assassins," I said. It is a matter of
       pride for members of that caste to avoid the use of poisoned
       steel. Too, their codes forbid it.
       ---Beasts of Gor, 7:141
       He seemed slow. But I knew he did not come to his somber garb by
       any tardiness of action or hesitancy in deed. The training of
       the assassin is thorough and cruel. He who wears the black of
       that caste has not won it easily. Candidates for the caste are
       chosen with great care, and only one in ten, it is said,
       completes the course of instruction to the satisfaction of the
       caste masters. It is assumed that failed candidates are slain,
       if not in the training, for secrets they may have learned.
       Withdrawal from the caste is not permitted. Training proceeds in
       pairs, each pair against others. Friendship is encouraged. Then,
       in the final training, each member of the pair must hunt the
       other. When one has killed one's friend one is then likely to
       better understand the meaning of the black. When one has killed
       one's friend one is then unlikely to find mercy in his heart for
       another. One is then alone, with gold and steel.
       I looked at Drusus.
       The assassins take in lads who are perhaps characterized by
       little but unusual swiftness, and cunning, and strength and
       skill, and perhaps a selfishness and greed, and, in time,
       transform this raw material into efficient, proud, merciless
       men, practitioners of a dark trade, men loyal to secret codes
       the content of which is something at which most men dare not
       guess.
