It also sounds like the majority of you actually wish to go ahead and to support Zero's proposal. I just wanted us to clarify how this would be implementing, both in terms of writing and categorization.

Does this mean that henceforth, we should in fact be referring to Darius, Iltani, and Wei Yu as Assassins again—not just the Hidden Ones—provided that we explain clearly in the article that they preceded the founding of the Hidden Ones/Assassins and were regarded as Assassins posthumously?

Moreover, it sounds like most of us agree on referring to Kassandra as a proto-Assassin but only because The Essential Guide describes her as such. If this is the case, this means that in spite of implementing Zero's proposal, we would still be using "proto-Assassin" in at least one case (if not only one case): Kassandra.

In other words, any predecessor of the Hidden Ones/Assassins that was posthumously honored as an Assassin will be called an Assassin and categorized as such. The term "proto-Assassin" will be reserved in the cases of some ancient ally who is expressly called as such by a source. Since most of us would not have counted Kassandra as a proto-Assassin much less an Assassin in the first place, this is probably fine.
