髑髏の仮面を被った暗殺者。
暗殺教団がアサシンとして成立した後、『山の翁』という名前が称号に成り代わってから誕生した、最初のハサ ン・サッバーハであるとされる。
しかし他の18人のハサンたちも、教団の信徒たちもこの人物の正体を知らず、また実在したという証拠は何処 にもなかったという。
その代のハサン・サッバーハが道を違えた時に現れ、その首を断つという伝説の暗殺者。
即ち、ハサンを殺すハサンなり。

キングハサンと呼んでもよい……
暗殺教団においてただひとりの目撃者もいないとされたが、それもそのはず、この人物を見た者はその時点で命 を終えている為だ。
『山の翁』の始まりであった彼は、同時に教団の腐敗を断罪する監視者としての人生を選んだ。
神の教えのもと正しい教団ではあるが、その行いは人としての悪である事は免れない。だからこそ、この人物は 教団が腐敗する事を許さなかった。
神の教えを守るものたちが人の欲に溺れる。
それこそが、神への最大の冒涜となるからである。
教団の腐敗とは、即ちトップである『山の翁』の堕落である。
精神の堕落であれ技術の堕落であれ、衰退した者に『山の翁』の名は与えられぬ。
衰退は即ち死。首を断つ事で罪の許しと、次の『山の翁』に託す希望となる。
暗殺者を暗殺する、という破綻した役割に大義を与えるため、この人物は隠し武器・暗器ではなく、正面から戦 う大剣を武器に選んだ。
この髑髏を目にした時こそ、その人間の終わり。
教団の教義を違えた愚か者に鉄槌が下された後、髑髏の剣士の姿を見た者はこの世から消え去るの だ。
数々のアサシンを葬りさってきた彼は暗殺教団が滅びるまでその闇の中に潜んでいたという。
生きた伝説にして、誰ひとりとして目撃者のいない暗殺者の深淵。
それがこの髑髏の剣士である。

―――聞こえるか、この鐘の音が。
それこそ汝の天運の果て。
受け入れ、魂を解くがよい。それが、人として安らかに眠る最後の機会である。
Old Man of the Mountain
An assassin that wears a skull mask.
Regarded as the first Hassan Sabbah, who was born when the name “Old Man of the Mountain” changed into a title, after the assassination cult became established as assassins.
However, it has been said that neither the other 18 Hassans nor the followers of the cult knew this individual’s true identity and that no evidence that he truly existed could be found anywhere.
A legendary assassin, said to appear when the Hassan Sabbah of that generation err in his way so to sever his head.
In other words, a Hassan that kills other Hassans.
Supposedly there was not a single eye-witness within the assassination cult who saw him, which is not surprising - one’s life would be forfeit from the moment he lay eyes on this individual.
At the same time that he was the origin of the “Old Man of the Mountain”, he also chose the life of an inspector that convicts(1) the corruption of the cult.
Even if the cult is righteous according to the teachings of God, that does not change the fact that its actions are evil as human beings. Therefore, this individual could not forgive that the cult could become degenerate.
For those who protect the teachings of God to wallow in human cravings.
That in itself is the greatest blasphemy against God.
The corruption of the cult is, namely, the depravity of its top - the “Old Man of the Mountain”.
Regardless of whatever that is a depravity of the mind or of the skills, the name of “Old Man of the Mountain” is not bestowed to one who has decayed.
Decay is, namely, death. The severing of one’s head is both a pardon for his sins and a hope to be entrusted to the next “Old Man of the Mountain”.
In order to provide just cause to the contradictory role of assassinating assassins, this individual chose not concealed weapons・assassination tools, but to openly fight with a large sword.
When someone catches sight of this skull, said person has surely met his end.
After he has delivered punishment upon the fool who has failed to keep the cult’s dogma, those who have seen the figure of the skull swordsman disappear from this world.
Having consigned many assassins to oblivion, he is said to lurk in the darkness of the assassination cult until the day of its ruin.
A living legend, the abyss of the assassins without a single eye-witness.
Such is this skull swordsman.

I don’t mind if you call me King Hassan....
Presence Concealment: A
A skill that erases one’s presence. The vestiges of what he once learned. As he carries a strong curse, even if this swordsman obtains a complete success in his stealth check, his existence ends up being perceived by the “opponent he is about to kill”.
Evening Bell: EX
An evening bell that informs people of the funeral rites and makes the news(2) of death resound.
A unique skill whose activation effects have become one with these rites.
This swordsman does not choose who to kill by his own will.
Once the other party has “lost sight of the proper time to die” and turned into a living dead, he grants salvation on behalf of the Lord. Everything is the will of Heavens; therefore, those who end up meeting with this swordsman learn the end of their fate.
---
Can you hear, the sound of this bell.
It is the end of your luck(3)
in itself.
Accept and release your soul. This is your last chance to have a peaceful slumber as a person.
NOBLE PHANTASM
Azrael - Angel of Death Notice(4)
Rank: C
Type: Anti-Unit
Range: 1
Max Targets: 1
A large sword without anything unusual about it. It is ingrained with the faith that this individual continued to believe, spent a lifetime wielding.
It has been said that the sword of this individual - who continues to walk on the boundary of the deep ravine - bestows an instant-death effect to all attacks.
Although the probabilities are low, it presents the risk of instant-death no matter what sort of formidable enemy the target may be.
Because one from the deep ravine grows used to and is assimilated with death, he acquires resistance to instant-death and fascination.
(1)the original Japanese term can also be used as a euphemism for “decapitation”, “beheading”;
(2)depending on context, this can also be translated as “visit”, “arrival”;
(3)depending on context, this can also be translated as “destiny”, “heaven’s will”;
(4)I’m pretty sure there is a pun between 死告 (
shikoku; death notice) and 漆黒 (
shikkoku; jet-black) hidden somewhere in here;
