Anon, I assume you are excluding few personas from your statement?

E.G. The Prowler WAS supposed to act and be just like an assassin, Sentinal was a former Assassin. The Mercenary was just that, he didn't fight for the templars... he was paid by the templars to provide mercenaries (It is implied in PL that he did not ever fight for them himself. The Privateer, his bio even says he has no ties to any factions... you give him gold he gives a space on his ship. And of course Fiore defected to the Assassins. So there are those that were not Agents, just contacts. And of course Il Lupo and Vali were effectively Templar Assassins.
