====Assassins & Mukade====
====Assassins & Mukade====
Assassins were as important within the Syndicate as they were for the WCG. While Oni does not explicitly say anything about pre-Muro assassins (Mukade and the Ninja are described only in Oni's immediate context), but it would make sense if "Muro's master ninja", Mukade, was already around in pre-Muro times, although perhaps not ranking as high as "the Syndicate master assassin" yet.

Perhaps he belonged to the "old school" of assassins and had been around several years before the Uprising, too.


Likewise, the multiple possibilities regarding Mukade's origins and his relation to Muro -- Muro's trainer or training partner, mentor, rival -- are not stated in any way. Maybe he's "one of Muro's thugs" as Konoko suggests, and maybe he is more of a "Muro's ninja master" (trainer and mentor) than "Muro's master ninja" (high-ranking subordinate). Without new data, we may never know.

If both the WCG and the Syndicate relied on "freelancers" (like Mukade?) for their dirty business, it is possible that some assassins (including Mukade?) were occasionally working for both sides. The more an assassin knew about both sides of the system, the more of a liability he became, so it took extraordinary skills and guts to survive in that field for long (flawless performance as a killing machine and/or data thief, and a legendary ability to elude/deter fellow assassins).
