Are historically speaking are assassins a real thing? Like lets say I know a guy who will do a job for such and such money. Or are they all just one offs who gets lucky?

This is a good hitman figure to highlight. Notable he had KGB and Stasi support, rather than working for random individuals. One off hitmen for random individuals are a thing, and I’m sure at least a few of them have done repeat business, but most prolific hitmen do jobs for organizations for sure.
