I vividly remember reading how Assassins send infiltrators to takeout all Portion Government members and causing the command to collapse. Unfortunately yet again, I have not play Battlemaster during that time 
Ahhh yes. That was a fun time.
I do not remember the amount of gold that Valast hired the Assassins for but at the time it was a good rate for a out of work realm of infiltrators. It may have been something like 50 or 100 gold per attack.
That would have been the end of it too. Just a few hits here and there... but Portion chose to execute an infiltrator the first chance it got... and second... and third. End result was that my little plan to hire the Assassins became an all out war of Assassins against Portion.
Had it not been for that distraction the Assassins would be much more powerful today. That is why Valast worked to keep them on his side as much as possible. He was a crazy old coot but apparently had a heart.
