He is also vain, ego-centric and quite mad

Although technically the word assassin is the noun ascribing the action of assassinate (the verb) to the object. So in strict grammatical terms, you can only be an assassin if you assassinate. Anyone who doesn't assassinate is a failed assassin so, to return to your original post "Deadly" and "Assassin" could well be a tautology.

At least its not as bad as "Phantom Menace". Although my most hated title is "Evil of the Daleks", which - although a great story - is completely bereft of any suspense as to who the villains might be thanks to the title. Its like having the title of Castrovalva as "The Place Made up by the Master to Trap the Doctor", or "Let's Kill Hitler" as "Mel regenerates into River in Naz1 Germany".

I think i might need a lie down.
