Talk:The Duchess In Green, By Douglas Harwickle, Historian/@comment-26947588-20170107054258/@comment-30984397-20170107235931

It is in the Book from D1: Rumors and Sightings: Daud

"New reports emerged of a dusky-skinned assassin, paid by the elite to eliminate their rivals in Dunwall and in the other major cities across the Isles. Those who saw him and lived numbered in the handful, but all of them reported something strange. He appeared and vanished like smoke. From a nearby rooftop, he gestured and a noble woman stumbled from her balcony, falling to her doom on the cobblestones below."

I'd not sure it is simply a coincidence, as things in that world tend to be a tangled bag of snakes so to speak.
