Assassin is a bad stabber background
I feel like there are two possible solutions here:
A. Embrace the "gladiator with blowgun" concept: Reduce or remove their starting stealth skill and give them a choice of weapon type like the other melee-guy starts. You would probably also have to rename them to something less sneaky-sounding. You could possibly even combine them with gladiator and have players choose between net/blowgun in addition to picking their melee weapon.
B. Make them better at stabbing: Give them a decent supply of hex needles (confusion or paralysis), possibly as a replacement for their curare, so that they have a way to stab things to death even when stealth fails.
