It depends what you mean.
Do you specifically need a class that has "Red Mantis" in the name?
I mean, you could easily play a Slayer, fight with two Sawtooth Sabers, worship Achaekek, select Talents that fit an assassin, and say you are a member of the Red Mantis.
Alchemist, Bard, Brawler, Fighter, Magus, Monk, Rogue, Slayer, Ranger, Cleric of Achaekek, Inquisitor of Achaekek, Warpriest of Achaekek, Assassin PrC, Red Mantis Assassin PrC are all classes that could fit into a Red Mantis character.

Where is the warpriest archetype in? I would like to read more on that.
It's from Pathfinder Player Companion: Advanced Class Origins. ^_^
Behold, the mantis zealot.

Also, for those interested in following other paths of service to He Who Walks In Blood, he has an obedience and a full set of boons in the recent Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Inner Sea Faiths. I think they're rather well-done. ^_^
This means that the evangelist, exalted, and sentinel prestige classes are all fully functional options as well.

And what boons they are!
Without fully spoiling them, the simple Deific Obedience allows for the utilization of sawtooth sabers for fulfilling Somatic components and to allow them to count as Divine Focuses.
This means that all spellcasting options are now opened up as potential entry paths, with Cleric and Magus being particularly tantalizing options. Now any class (barring those with incompatable alignment restrictions) can be a true Red Mantis Assassin.

And, in honesty, probably better. Prayer Attack for instance is cool, as are all the RMA abilities, but it doesn't work, the save DC is way too low. On the other hand, A Stygian Slayer / Sentinel of Achaekek has some illusion/assassin style magic and is a full BAB deadly killer with the Sawtooth Sabres.
