Vavumayos
Shahen Môfen (a.k.a. Vavumayos)
Shahen tried his best. Unfortunately, his best was never that great.
Most people in Hosquerre don't know his actual name. He is famous throughout the country as "Vavumayos" a play on *vayos* (assassin) and *vavumyos* (accident). Shahen loathes this name. He got it after a career of poorly bungled assassination attempts that, nevertheless, somehow managed to still kill his targets. Some of his highlights:
Nobody intentionally hires Shahen, but given the nature of assassin, his identity was unknown. People employing an anonymous assassin were usually very underwhelmed to find out days later that they'd inadvertently hired the bungler.
Shahen will protest that many of his assassinations went off without a hitch, but nobody knows it because only bungled attempts every got attributed to the infamous Vavumayos. When asked by friends to provide the names of these successful assassinations, he always mutters about privacy and not incriminating himself and changes the subject.
These days, he lives in retirement in a small town. Some people know who he is, but he doesn't advertise it since he did, in fact, murder people, albeit poorly. He silently seethes every time "Vavumayos-ed" is used as a verb to mean "You screwed up pretty bad but it worked out anyway by dumb luck".
- He snuck into the target's bedroom and hid a snake under his sheets. When the target slid into bed that night, the snake would bite and kill him. However, he chose the wrong type of snake - one that isn't venomous at all. Also, the target pulled the sheets back before getting into bed and saw the snake. However, the sight of the snake startled him so badly that he fell backward, tripped over his shoes, and hit his head on the stone floor, killing him.
- Inspired by the assassin who used Fisé Blue bandages to kill someone, he drenched bandages in poison, disguised himself as a doctor and used them on his target. But, the poison he chose is only dangerous when ingested and is harmless when exposed to the blood. Luckily for him and unluckily for his target, Shahen did not wash his hands before touching the patient's wound. The resulting infection killed him.
- Pushed a target out a window so that she would die from the fall. However, it was only a second floor window so instead of dying, the target hit the street and broke her leg. A week later, she tripped down the stairs because of her crutches and broke her neck.
