I think "executioner" might be a good name. That seems to be the fundamental role. His executions may be summary and extrajudicial, but they are still basically executions more than assassinations. (I think of this as more of an assassination attempt, until Belkar foils it.)

(How many assassinations can you think of which involved CDGing the target? Most assassinations I can think of (Kennedy, Martin Luther King, etc) were ranged, but even with the occasional close-ranged assassination (Julius Caesar) the target is perhaps flat-footed, but not helpless in the unconscious/paralyzed/bound sense. Execution seems like a more apt term.)
