Frumious Flumph (Your Grace/Your Eminence)
(Great. I thought I saw a really nice Old School Essentials Swashbuckler just a few hours ago, but I can't find it again. My browser history is impenetrable today. I won't be unhappy if the Swashbuckler wins, but there are several subclasses I really like that are left. EDIT: Found it.)
Heck, I like Assassin just fine. It's not meant for what people at my table tried to do with it. If you want a guy who does more like the Assassin's Creed thing, that's kind of like a DEX-y Duelist Fighter (EDIT: Or Swashbuckler Rogue). The Assassin Rogue is the guy who takes one shot at the target from a long ways off with the best weapon available and a heavily-poisoned round, and then immediately leaves the scene whether he hits or misses. If he hit and killed the target, great. If he missed or didn't kill the target, well, there's backup plans and contingencies, and he'd be better off figuring out next steps in the Safe House anyway, rather than in an alleyway while fighting irate guards.
