They were not soldiers were they? No.

Therefore they would be caled civilians. This would probably sound typical but...

I wouldn't consider a group of murderous, homocidal, criminal Sithis worshippers "Civilians". These people MURDER civilians simply because someone wants another person dead and that they pray for their deaths, reguardess of what they did to anger someone. But what of the person that performs the Black Sacrament? Are they innocent?

Look at Beitild, Narfi, Nilsine Shatter-Shield, the Orc bard in Morthal, the Gourmet? Did they deserve to die? They have no right to be murdered simply because the Dread Lord commanded it?

Dark Brotherhood are criminals, THEY deserved what they had coming to them. It's just business. The Brotherhood might have the appearance of a cult, but it acts more like a guild.

Regardless of the rightness of their actions, they simply act as middle men, weapons in human form, as the saying goes.

Do you blame the gun for killing someone or the person who fired the gun. The people who perform the Black Sacrement are the ones who request the death of people and the DB simply does a job.

That might be stretching it all a bit, but that is it in a very rough nutshell.
