Scioly Assassination 128: The Dark Abyss

[Assassinator]

Along time ago, on a dark and gloomy night, in a deep dark hole, one of you was born into the world of scioly. They are unlike any of you, having a passion for killing, not learning. They blended among you, until on this very night his dark primal urges were released. Can they be discovered before it is too late?

1. The officers will be the next five people who sends a fact about darkness. Put in a bit of thought before posting. If you have not been around for awhile, it is less likely that you will be able to identify me.
2. There will be no "informants", but civilians may post.
3. People will die. However, there are some exceptions. I will not kill administrators or moderators. In return, I ask that they not reveal my identity.
4. Officers may protect one person per clue.
5. Once an officer has made three incorrect accusations, he may not accuse or protect anyone.
6. The assassin will provide clues which plainly point to his next victim, and occasionally to themself.
7. The assassin may continue to post with his true account, and may provide hints there.
8. When accusing someone of being Assassinator you must use the following template "I accuse (place name here) because (give reason here)." If you don't use this template when accusing the accusation won't count.
9. Once "killed" a user may not post about the identity of the assassinator.
10. Non officers may post.
11. Each clue will last 48 hours, after which the Assassinator will kill.
12. If the Assassinator does not reply in 7 days after all protects are made, each officer gets a free accusation. However that accusation must be made next time the user posts and cannot be stored as an extra one to use later.
13. A person will not be targeted consecutively.
14. A officer may be replaced if they have died. PM me a correct solve to the hint and you may become the sassy.
15. Each officer begins with one accusation. You will earn an accusation with each correct protection.
16. The Assassinator wins after 15 incorrect accusations have been made, but the number needed to win goes down by one with each kill.
17. The Assassinator reserves the right to add to these rules as he deems necessary.

There can be no darkness without light. Is this light enough to find me?

Because seeing how the last game went I want my officer spot back after that world record.
The longest night is on the winter solstice.

I'm in! Complete darkness occurs when the Sun is more than 18° below the horizon.

Innnnnn!! Google defines darkness as: "The partial or total absence of light."

Yay officer spot #3! Both adults and children have been known to fear the dark, and things associated with darkness.

By the way, the sassy may have given us an important id clue already (or maybe he/she is trying to mislead us). The sassy said, 'his"

Nyctophobia is the fear of the dark

[Name]

I can help solve the clues right?

[kate!]

Dang, I missed it. I'll just watch from the sidelines... again.

[Assassinator]

I can help solve the clues right?

Yes but nothing that can help ID me whatsoever

The officers are:
