However, if we're looking for a character most associated with assassination attempts, it would likely be Azula, the Fire Nation princess.
* Azula's tactics: She employs ruthless tactics and often uses her bending skills to injure or even kill her opponents.
* Examples: She targets Zuko, Katara, and Aang with deadly force on multiple occasions.
So, while no single character is explicitly an "assassin" in *Avatar: The Last Airbender*, Azula's actions and tendencies make her the closest to fitting that description.
