Dungeons & Dragons
Although the thief as an archetype in role-playing games achieved popularity through Dungeons & Dragons, “Thief” in the Dungeons & Dragons game was renamed to “Rogue” in the game's Third Edition, to broaden the class to any highly skilled character. Rogues in all editions are also capable of doing lots of damage with sneak attacks especially from the back of their enemies (also known as “sneak attack”).
