Art of Carrot killing Dr. Cruces that I'm not that proud of And a bonus drawing of Angua and Cheri...
He paused, and looked at them. The head assassin said later that he looked into the eyes of many men who, obviously were very near death, but he never looked into eyes that were so clearly and unmistakably looking back at him from the slopes of hell. He hoped he would never, he said, ever have to look into eyes like that again.

During the meeting with the guilds, the head assassin looks into Wonse's eyes and sees someone who wants to die.
As I mentioned earlier with the priest of Blind Io, we don't actually know who the head assassin is. The continuity hasn't quite kicked in yet, so all of the city counselors are generic. Having said that, I don't see any reason why he is not Dr. Cruces, who makes his first official appearance in Men at Arms.
Vetinari being petty...
“He’s a jack-in-office and an insolent upstart!”
“Dear me. I did not appreciate your strength of feeling. But since you demand it, I will bring him to heel without delay.”
“Thank you.”
“Don’t mention it. Do not let me keep you.”
Dr. Cruces wandered off in the direction of the Patrician’s idle gesture.

The Patrician leaned back and stared at Vimes.
“Tell me,” he said, “how was he killed?”
“I don’t know. I’ve never seen anything like it... there was just a great big hole. But I’m going to find out what it was.”
“Hmm. Did I mention that Dr. Cruces came to see me this morning?”
“No, sir.”
“He was very… concerned.”
“Yes, sir.”
“I think you upset him.”
“Sir?”

Don't shoot! That's how people get shot.
