There are 15 NPCs to be assassinated, this is a list and where to find them. Once you arrive at the location, the NPC can be identified as they will have a white eye icon above them. This is hinted at in the Litany "You will know them by their eye". Once killed with the Blade of Woe they will disappear in a cloud of ash. They will then appear as a ghost inside the Sanctuary on a pedestal.

Once you complete the mission you will be awarded the Cadaverous Assassin outfit and the Litany of Blood furnishing, as well as some gold.
