History Characters / TheWorldsFinestAssassin

* BookDumb: Didn't have much opportunity for study before entering the Academy and asks Lugh for help in this area.

* DrunkWithPower: The reason the goddess wants the assassin to kill the hero after said hero kills the demon lord, stating said hero will go mad and destroy the world.
* GodzillaThreshold: After the Hero defeats the Demon King, the Hero becomes for the Goddess. She is willing to use any means available to her and make deals with any faction, to remove the Hero permanently.

* RageBreakingPoint: The cheerful person on the outside, contain a violent person on the inside.

* SweetPollyOliver: Epona is registered as and dresses as a boy due to the country she was born in only allowing boys to aid in the work of noble families, and the barony she was born in was so poor off that they needed literally every hand they could get to help with their failing farm.

* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Lugh ultimately judges that Epona is not an evil person, and was likely forced by her circumstances - a royal family and nobility that would see her as a threat to their standing after she dealt with the Demon King, an endless number of warriors jealous of her power, and skills like "Berserk" that drove her towards greater violence and brutality - to become the slaughterer that destroyed the world, rather than ForTheEvulz or anything like that. In fact, Epona even eventually ''asks'' Lugh to kill her if she ever loses control of herself. As such, Lugh decides to try and remove the circumstances that will lead her to lose control rather than fulfill his contract with the goddess to assassinate her.
* WorthyOpponent: Admires Lugh for being the only person to actually present a challenge to her, and not have his mentality "break" after seeing her incredible abilities.

* SexGod: Was also trained to be very good in the bedroom. Disturbingly, he was taught these skills [[FilleFatale as a boy]] so he could infiltrate a pedophile's headquarters.

* TheArtfulDodger: In the anime, Maha is introduced as the de facto leader of a group of homeless girls despite being one of the youngest. Notably, she comes up with a reliable way to make money by guiding tourists and newcomers to Milteu based on their knowledge of the port city and her people skills after procuring two sets uniforms to make the whole thing look above board.
* TheBaroness: She presents herself as one, though she immediately becomes [[AggressiveSubmissive embarrassed]] whenever Lugh actually accepts her advances.

* TryEverything: In the anime. Due to her detachment from understanding humans and desperation to find someone who can kill the hero, [[spoiler:she reincarnates the world's best diss rapper because his hip-hop was brutal enough to cause those he insulted to commit suicide in shame]]. Doesn't turn out well in a fantasy world, as one can imagine.

* SelfHarm: Maha's best friend, Noine mutilates her own face to prevent herself from being prostituted off.

* CatchPhrase: "Everything is going according to plan" and variations thereof. Occasionally mutated to "is this part of the plan?" when Lugh's preparations have unintended (usually embarrassing or humiliating) consequences.

* {{Catchphrase}}: "I am a Goddess. Ahem!"

* GracefulLoser: Though clearly not pleased by it, he takes his assassination rather well.

* ClingyJealousGirl: It's subtle, but when Esri talks to Lugh about meeting young noble women for an arranged marriage, Tarte pouts and seems upset by it. She seems relieved when he shoots the idea down. Maha also later mentions that Tarte is usually in tears every time Lugh went to visit a brothel.

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KenjiAkabane, Creator/MakotoKoichi (as a child), Junpei Morita (as "Allen Smith") (Japanese), Christian Banas, Mick Lauer (as "Allen Smith") (English)

* BoobsOfSteel: She is the best close-range fighter of Lugh's BattleHarem, while also having the largest bust. Esri even likes putting her in outfits that emphasize her breasts and Dia is quite jealous of them.
* ClarkKenting: In the anime adaptation. The only difference between Tarte the loyal personal maid of Lugh Tuatha Dé, and Tarte the loyal personal maid of Illig Balor, is the later wears cherry ornaments (instead of four leaf clovers) and dark clothes (instead of bright clothes). No one notices the identical HairOfGoldHeartOfGold hairstyle, mystic green eyes, and huge BoobsOfSteel.

* ScrewDestiny: Though Lugh isn't enemies with the Goddess, he doesn't like the notion of having his life manipulated by a deity who has control over fate. The Goddess admits events like Tarte and Maha encountering Lugh was entirely her doing, but the girls falling in love with him was not.

* BladeOnAStick: Her weapon is a Spear. She is so skilled with it Lugh believes that she probably has a Spear Master type Skill. He ends up making a collapsible spear for her to make it easier to hide it.

Lugh's father and current head of house Tuatha Dé. Besides overseeing his son's training and carrying out assassination for the kingdom, his public persona is that of a renowed physician.

* AdaptationExpansion: The anime greatly expands Maha's {{Backstory}} before Lugh saves her, whereas the light novel simply explains he bribed an orphanage's director to have her adopted by his cover identity's father after deeming her mana levels and psychological profile suitable to make her reliable subordinate.

* AboveTheInfluence: Doesn't take advantage of the girls even though they're appreciative of all he's done for them, though they wish he would since he keeps dismissing any attempts at romance with them.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Lugh is this to almost everyone else on the planet. However no matter how powerful Lugh's combat abilities are, he will always be less powerful than the hero.

* TheArchmage: He has an ''unreasonable'' amount of mana due to the combination of Rapid Recovery and Limitless Growth, and with the A-rank Spell Weaver, he's one of the only people capable of creating new spells without miracles from the Gods - if not ''the'' only person.

* BizarreAndImprobableBallistics: [[spoiler:After the hero witnesses]] Lugh's ability to use firearms, Lugh formulates magic to manipulate bullet trajectory in midflight. This is so guns will still be usable against the hero when the time to assassinate her arrives.

* ImprobableAimingSkills: Allen gained these through his lifetime of assassination experience. Demonstrated as Lugh when he snipes a rabbit in the head from 30 meters away with a single shot. Taken to ridiculous extremes when he combines his skills with spells and his enhanced magical eyes. [[spoiler: He becomes capable of sniping enemies from thousands of meters away and calculating atmospheric weapon drops.]].

* MagneticWeapons: Combining his magic with Dia and Tarte, [[spoiler: he can create a railgun that kills demons]].

* SecretTest: Lugh goes through one when his father assigns him his first target; a woman who was sentenced to death for murdering a couple, stealing their valuables, and setting their house on fire. The woman tearfully pleads for her life, making up excuses as his father read off her charges. When Lugh slices off one of her hands, the woman screams in pain and yells at his father for alledgedly lying that she could earn her freedom if Lugh showed her mercy. She then starts angrily admitting to her crimes while showing no signs of remorse. Lugh then finishes her off, and at least gives her a quick death.

* CrazyPrepared: Has multiple identities set up ahead of time for Lugh [[spoiler: and Dia]].

* BrotherSisterIncest: Both Dia and Maha are in love with Lugh, despite the fact he is effectively their family. Dia is his older [[KissingCousins cousin]], while Maha is his [[NotBloodSiblings adoptive]] sister who regularly refers to him as "big brother".

* WhatIf: With the [[spoiler:Akashic Records]] the Goddess reveals had she not altered the girls' destinies [[PointOfDivergence to encounter Lugh]], each would have suffered a terrible fate. Tarte [[spoiler:collapses from malnutrition and slowly freezes to death before reaching the Tuatha Dé barony]]. In the case of Dia, [[spoiler:the attack on and collapse of House Viekone occurs earlier. After capture Dia would become a BreedingSlave for her magic bloodline]]. Maha [[spoiler:is auctioned off as a sex slave as her sellers planned. The intended owner was abusive and inflicts fatal physical injuries after growing bored of her]].

* SquishyWizard: When it comes to magic, she is one of the best mages in the world. However, she is pretty weak physically and doesn’t fare well in close quarter combat.

* BoobsOfSteel: She is the best close-range fighter of Lugh’s BattleHarem, while also having the largest bust. Esri even likes putting her in outfits that emphasize her breasts and Dia is quite jealous of them.

** Also Lampshaded in-story – Cian is likewise suspicious of such "convenient" timing, wondering if Tarte had been sent to spy on them. Luckily, Lugh is able to quickly dissuade him of this.
* FanservicePack: When she first met Lugh, she was frail, thin, and dangerously malnourished. Two years later and she has a body that many a noble has noticed despite only being 14.

* SuperpowerLottery: She was born with superior physical stats, the Spear Expert skill, Wind element affinity, and inherent talent with Lightning spells. Her peasant birth kept these abilities dormant and undiscovered until the Goddess guided her to Lugh.

* KillTheOnesYouLove: The Hero killed [[spoiler:the woman she considered a mentor and surrogate CoolBigSis]] after going into an UnstoppableRage.

* SnakesAreSexy: She is an incredibly attractive woman.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: [[spoiler: One of her reincarnates is a rapper who she sent to beat the hero with BattleRapping, only for her later to realize that the poor bastard has a become a NervousWreck because in a world without the concept of rap, he's just insulting people]].

* YouDidntAsk: The goddess is brutally truthful and answers any question Allen has. She also [[IGaveMyWord honors her deal with Allen]], so long as [[BargainWithHeaven Lugh honors his]]. However he later realizes the goddess only provided answers when specifically asked. [[spoiler: When he meets her again, he is quite aware the goddess has been withholding significant information about the nature behind demons, the Demon King, and the Hero.]]

* AnOfferYouCantRefuse: He stops the attack on the Viekone stronghold after Lugh's attack causes him to taste his own blood for the first time, exciting Setanta at the thought of finally facing off against a WorthyOpponent. He then tells Lugh that either they duel, or he'd slaughter all of the Viekone troops and kidnap Dia.

* NobleDemon: He's a ruthless BloodKnight to be sure and more than likely a little AxCrazy, but when he challenges Lugh, he presents himself as very honourable and respectful aside from that; he promises to withdraw his men should he lose, [[YouGotGuts more impressed than angered when Lugh states his intention of killing him]], orders his men to withdraw in the event that he's killed so he can keep his word post-mortem, and even acquiesces to Lugh asking that his soldiers fall back they don't get caught in the crossfire of their fight. Unfortunately, all this discussions of terms was simply Lugh buying time [[spoiler: so that the tungsten rod he dropped from orbit could hit his opponent directly and kill him instantly]].

* EarnYourHappyEnding: The poor girls went through hell in an OrphanageOfFear for two years. But thanks to Lugh (going by Illig Balor), the director, his henchmen and his clients were beaten up and arrested, the girls got their freedom back, Noine recovered her original face through surgery, and they are now happily working with Maha at Orna’s store.

* RevolversAreJustBetter: In the event she needs to get into a firefight, she a gun in a leg strap that noticeably resembles a Webley-Fosbery Automatic Revolver.

* WeHardlyKnewYe: Not a lot of details were made after she first showed up. And due to the story switching settings after the first episode, [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse while it can be presumed she died too once the plane exploded. What happened after (as in if she died outright or ended up in a similar situation as Allen) is never followed upon.]]

* MeddlingParents: She has a massive son complex and wants to know everything about Lugh, including physical development and embarrassing moments.

* BladeOnAStick: Her WeaponOfChoice is a Spear. She is so skilled with it Lugh believes that she probably has a Spear Master type Skill. He ends up making a collapsible spear for her to make it easier to hide it.

* RetractableWeapon: Tarte's WeaponOfChoice is a long spear that folds up and is kept on a secret pouch on her leg.
