In one of my works I have a character who in the first three chapters has three different names, The Assassin, Theydrin, and Hol'jun. The reason he goes by these names is that he is an assassin and is the best one there is. He has never failed a mission. As such he wants to keep his name and identity hidden from the whole world. The reader first sees the Assassin as just that. To leave the castle he disguises himself as a servant that many others know as Theydrin. The third name change occurs as he goes undercover to get some of his items smuggled from his current place of residence to a kingdom that is part of the opposing faction of kingdoms.
I ask is this name change too confusing for readers or does it work so long as I make it very clear that the Assassin, Theydrin, and Hol'jun are all the same.
I will post such clarification if you want.
