Line 23:
* Balalaika from ''[[Black Lagoon]]''. Dutch as well, though he is more smuggler than assassin. This is probably why the Lagoon Company and Hotel Moscow have such a good business relationship.
* ''[[Legend of the Galactic Heroes]]''; Many of the characters are like this, but Paul von Oberstein is the most notable. He can calculate and order mass slaughter executed without batting an eyelid.
* Sousuke in ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]''. He also applies this level of professionalism to his cover identity as a high school student, with hilarious results.
* Played straight ''and'' subverted in the case of Kuroudou Akabane (a.k.a. Dr. Jackal) from ''[[GetBackers]]''. He will take on any [[Courier]] job with no questions asked and carry it through to the end regardless of obstacles, is almost frighteningly competent at what he does and often describes himself as a consummate professional. But give him an opponent who he considers "worthy of his skills", and he'll decide to take certain...''liberties'' with his assignment.
* The ''[[Gungrave]]'' anime shows us that Brandon Heat was this with [[Undying Loyalty]] when he was a hitman for Millenion. It [[It Got Worse|causes problems]] with his best friend.
