Assassin E was one of the assassins hired by the Ten Dons to eliminate the Phantom Troupe.[1]
Appearance[]
Assassin E's 2011 anime adaptation design
Assassin E was a medium build man with long, dark hair tied into a ponytail, thick eyebrows that curled upwards at the end, and a Fu Manchu mustache. In addition to his eyes never being seen opened, his calm manners made him appear as a poised individual. He dressed in a medium-length pullover coat or robe decorated with a distinct pattern on the chest, which he fastened with a belt. Underneath the coat, he wore a white shirt and a pair of matching trousers, the legs of which were tucked into his boots.[1]
Personality[]
Thoughtful and cooperative, Assassin E immediately complemented Assassin D's request for the floor plan of the building by asking for a map. Similarly, when some hired assassins opposed the idea of teamwork, Assassin E asserted his opinion that to succeed in their task to eliminate the Phantom Troupe, some basic teamwork would be necessary. He was also a man of few words, having only spoken twice in the meeting and only when it was necessary to make clear his stance and opinion. Kurapika said that along with the other assassins (besides Assassin A and Assassin B), Assassin E was intimidated by Silva and Zeno Zoldyck.[1]
Plot[]
Yorknew City arc[]
The freelance assassins gathering together
Assassin E is one of the assassins hired by the Ten Dons to eliminate the Phantom Troupe. After Zenji tells them to ask if they need anything, Assassin D asks for a floor plan of the building and Assassin E asks for a map. Assassin D then suggests picking code names for each other and Assassin E adds that colors should work. After Assassins A and B try to convince the others that they should all work by themselves, Assassin D reminds them that the Troupe is their target and that it would be dangerous to face them alone. Assassin E adds that they would need basic teamwork for their mission to be successful. After Kurapika sides with those who want to work alone, Assassins A and B tell the others that they can team up if they want.[1]
Assassin E is not seen again after the meeting. Since Chrollo kills both Assassin A[2] and Assassin D, and Zeno mentions that some of the hired assassins have already been killed, it can be rightly assumed that Assassin E was also killed inside the Cemetery Building.[3]
Abilities & Powers[]
Since he was hired by the Ten Dons to eliminate the Phantom Troupe, it can be inferred that he was at least strong enough to be recognized as suitable for the job. However, his abilities were never shown.
