History[]
The Assassin's Blade[]
Sam Cortland accepts a contract to kill Farran and Jayne, hoping that the payment will provide enough money for him and Celaena Sardothien to move out of Rifthold and begin their new life together.
Farran started as one of Ioan Jayne's spies as an orphan on the street, then ranked up to Jayne's second over the years using his cunning and sadistic abilities.
Rourke Farran worked with Arobynn Hamel to torture and kill Sam Cortland and capture Celaena Sardothien in the novella The Assassin and the Empire. He captured Celaena Sardothien and killed Sam Cortland by incapacitating them with Gloriella gas.
