Zlorf Flannelfoot was a previous president of the [[Assassins' Guild]]. He is mentioned in {{COM}}, 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]], [[Ymor]], during a clash over a [[Twoflower|rich foreigner]] in the [[Broken Drum]].

He was commissioned by the [[Patrician]] to have Twoflower quietly eliminated, based on a ''strong suggestion'' from the [[Nine Turning Mirrors|then-Grand Vizier]] of the [[Agatean Empire]]. Accompanied by several other Assassins, Zlorf went to the Drum only to find Twoflower in the custody of some Thieves who were planning to rob him. Seeking an alternative to a tavern brawl, Zlorf offered Ymor this deal: ''"I'll kill him, and then you can rob him."''

Presumably, he survived, but at least one of his Assassins did not. Although a city-wide destructive fire breaks out soon afterwards, from which others count themselves lucky to escape...

Prior to entering the Drum, he and his Assassins neutralized guards placed by Ymor outside the Drum, and some others in a doorway across the street... but forgot to remove two bowmen on the roof. A ''classic'' example of over-confidence.
