Ken Timbs (January 27, 1951-August 1, 2004) was an American professional wrestler who, with longtime tag team partner Eric Embry, competed as one half of the Fabulous Blondes in several regional territories including Georgia Championship Wrestling, Southwest Championship Wrestling and International World Class Championship Wrestling during the early 1980s. He also teamed with Dusty Wolfe as the Hollywood Blondes in the Memphis area until arriving in Mexico's Empresa Mexicana de la Lucha Libre in May 1988. As the Fabuloso Blondy, he defeated Lizmark for the EMLL Light Heavyweight Championship on June 24, 1988[1].

After spending several years in Mexican and South American promotions, winning the Guatemalan Heavyweight Championship, he eventually returned to his home state of Georgia wrestling as the masked wrestler The Assassin during the 1990s.

After a long illness, Timbs died from cardiomyopathy and congestive heart failure on August 1, 2004.
