Zlorf Flannelfoot was a previous president of the Assassins' Guild. He is mentioned in The Colour of Magic, and described as having a face that is abysmally scarred, as if he's been in hundreds of fights. He also indulges in petty arguments and threats with the then-Head of the Thieves' Guild. This is an image of Assassins that TP has refined over the years, to the point where they are seen (at least by themselves) as refined gentlemen.
Conversely, we are also told that the Guild, in the noblesse oblige manner of the best public schools, offers a limited number of scholarships to poor and socially unconnected - but potentially very, very, talented - students. Witness Inigo Skimmer and "Professor" Cranberry. It is possible that Zlorf was such a scholarship pupil who advanced to the highest office?
