The Combine Assassin was meant to be an enemy encountered in Half Life 2, specifically on the Borealis (which was cut from the released version and was revived in Episode Two.) The assassin was also to be encountered in City 17, during the resistance uprising. Leaked content shows that the Combine Assassin uses two automatic pistols or personal defense weapons, and a variety of melee attacks. The assassin is also shown to be a quick and resourceful enemy, moving swiftly and performing flips, rolls, and other movements.
The Combine Assassin closely resembles a slimmer version of an Overwatch Elite, with an almost identical helmet. The armour and padding is almost completely absent, allowing the assassin to move quickly. The Combine Assassin seems to be a transhuman female, similar to the Black Ops encountered in Half Life.
Another concept sees the assassin as more of a monster-like figure, with long claws used for slashing targets. It is possible this creature is heavily genetically modified.
Since both concepts of the assassin were cut, it appears that the second concept's animations were modified to fit the Fast Zombie.
