Novak (Kaj Rajani) has several different identities to help provide cover for his true self. During a Long Rest, Novak (Kaj Rajani) can alter its identity from one to another. Novak (Kaj Rajani) has the following identities:

Aran Sharp (true self)

Novak (assassin codename)

Justin Smith (petty criminal)

Kaj Rajani (struggling artist)

Willis Rakehorn (bored noble)

Assassinate.

During its first turn, the assassin has advantage on attack rolls against any creature that hasn’t taken a turn. Any hit the assassin scores against a surprised creature is a critical hit.

Evasion.

If the assassin is subjected to an effect that allows it to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, the assassin instead takes no damage if it succeeds on the saving throw, and only half damage if it fails.

Fey Ancestry.

Novak (Kaj Rajani) has advantage on Saving Throws against being Charmed, and magic can’t put Novak (Kaj Rajani) to sleep.

Sneak Attack (1/Turn).

The assassin deals an extra 13 (4d6) damage when it hits a target with a weapon attack and has advantage on the attack roll, or when the target is within 5 ft. of an ally of the assassin that isn’t incapacitated and the assassin doesn’t have disadvantage on the attack roll.

Actions

Multiattack. The assassin makes two shortsword attacks.
Shortsword. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d6 + 4) piercing damage, and the target must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw, taking 24 (7d6) poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
Light Crossbow. Ranged Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, range 80/320 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d8 + 4) piercing damage, and the target must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw, taking 24 (7d6) poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
