Larze is an ogre, encountered in the Blushing Mermaid. Unlike previous would-be assassins, Larze carries no note or letter authorizing his actions. Also, his attack can be avoided by choosing dialog option 1. This will cause him to go away and check a picture of the person he is looking for, telling you to stay where you are until he returns. The reward for this choice is 900 XP. He actually will never come back, though.
