The Master Assassin, @, is the Rogue quest nemesis.

The Master Assassin can be very annoying. If you're a competent fighter, he doesn't pose much of a threat to you, but he has a nasty habit of teleporting into the lower left corner of his level (the area that is inaccessible to you while in the larger middle portion) and healing himself. There are a few good ways to take him out quickly and easily:

Zap Him! Zap him with a wand of death to get rid of him instantly. It's entirely likely that you won't have a wand of death at this point, so:

Gas Him! You know that potion of sickness you start the game with? Throw it at him and he'll soon be gone.

Put Him Down! Throw a potion of sleeping or paralysis at him and then beat his head in.
