i think the assassins are like the thugs you steal from a shopkeeper they send thugs when they fail to kill you they send assassins but i could be wrong. maybe its because you kill people in the game and they had a family so their family had you killed(tried to have you killed anyways) or maybe its the empire or the stormcloaks that hired them you know that kind of stuff im not sure.
