Overview

The Assassin faction in the Dead by Daylight universe is a terrifying and ruthless group of characters. They are not typical humans, but manifestations of a primal and hideous being, shaped by the evil and cruel deeds they pursued while alive. Each assassin has a unique story, history, and skill set that allows them to hunt, capture, and kill survivors trapped in their world.
Each of these characters has a unique power that sets them apart from the rest. From creatures that stand out in unexpected ways, to creatures that can create illusions, to hideous beasts that can forcibly control the environment, each presents new challenges for the player. But all the killers share a common goal: to sacrifice their prey to the Entity, an evil force that feeds on the hopes and despair of the Survivors.
The dynamic between the Killers and the Survivors keeps players on their toes. Assassins are merciless, walking slowly but never tiring, while Survivors are agile and can move quickly, though their physical condition deteriorates rapidly. This asymmetry creates a terrifying game of cat and mouse in which survival is never guaranteed. Welcome to the grisly world of the Assassin faction, where the ultimate pleasure is hearing the last breath of the dying.

History

The Assassin faction in the Dead by Daylight universe represents an enigmatic group of entities, each with a distinct history that represents a harsh terrain of unrelenting violence and staggering terror. Coming from different families and times, the characters are haunted by their pasts and drawn into a terrifying dimension known as the Entity Realm, where an eternally terrifying game of hunting lives.
The origins of the Assassins can be traced back to a cold, unfeeling force known as 'the entity'. Feeding on the hopes of his victims, this omnipresent and all-powerful being from another universe creates a merciless cycle of hunting trials in which he enlists the killers to instill fear and despair while energizing him. The entity captures those who have committed brutal acts and lures them into its domain. Once trapped, their sense of morality slowly fades and they turn into terrifying killers. One such person is Philip Ojomo, who became The Wraith after a horrific incident where he unknowingly helped his boss dispose of corpses. Filled with rage, Ojomo killed his pimp boss, and the act of violence attracted the Entity. Similarly, The Hillbilly was born deformed into a ruthless family that locked him away and created a creature born of loneliness and anger.
Each member of the assassin's faction paints a story of violence and frustration, and actions steeped in the darkness of human nature. Posing as pawns in the entity's game, these killers emphasize the brutality of the deranged human mind. Endless games of cat and mouse show their evolution from mortal creatures to fearsome providers of agony.
Despite their gruesome deeds, these figures often evoke a sense of wistful empathy, having themselves been victims of malevolence or unfortunate circumstances fueled by impending despair. Nevertheless, the killers of the world of Dead by Daylight, though corrupted and manipulated, remain a symbol of the depths of human brutality and great suffering.
In conclusion, the story of the faction of assassins manifests itself as the story of a derailed human consciousness that follows a unique path from twists and turns to sinister exploits. In this way, they represent the poignant paradox of monstrous criminals who were themselves once miserable victims.

Geography

In the Dead by Daylight universe, killers are born from different geographies, and their layers of horror are shaped by the environment they come from. From quaint American towns to historic Eastern European villages, from haunted Japanese temples to modern industrial complexes, the chilling atmosphere of each setting enhances The Killers' gruesome allure.
The macabre landscapes of the Midwest gave birth to the infamous Hillbilly and Trapper, and their terrifying presence echoes with rusted grappling hooks and bear traps. Meanwhile, the nurse emerges with her terrible wails from the dreary and desolate asylum, with its oppressive and cold walls. At the other end of the spectrum, The Spirit represents an Eastern realm that embraces the chilling folklore of Japan's mystical heritage, its ethereal presence echoing in the haunting Sakura trees. On the other hand, gritty urbanism provides fertile ground for the Killers' modern brand. Synonymous with grimy graffiti-splattered dungeon passages and barren junkyards, The Legion is startling proof that horror lurks where you least expect it.
So the geography of the killers in Dead by Daylight is not only about their origins, but also a manifestation of their terror. This is necessary to define each killer's particular flavor of horror, making geography as much a character in the story as the killers themselves.
