Assassin, also known as Calem Volkov, is a prominent character from the video game series Arx Fatalis and its spiritual successor, Prey (2017). While details differ between the universes, core attributes remain consistent.

In Arx Fatalis, Volkov is a powerful but morally ambiguous assassin operating within the underground city. He is known for his ruthless efficiency and mastery of stealth and combat, making him a dangerous adversary or valuable ally, depending on the player's choices.

Prey's version, presented within a simulated reality, reimagines him as a skilled operator, again specializing in stealth and infiltration. His existence underscores the game's themes of identity and artificiality, blurring the line between human and construct.

Regardless of the specific iteration, Assassin/Volkov represents a complex character archetype, skilled in the art of killing, whose motives and allegiance are often shrouded in mystery, leaving a lasting impression on the player's experience.
