As an example, someone who is invisible, and I don't want 'assassin rolls a 18 for initiative!' popping up. I'm 99% sure this can be done, but I can't figure out the how in this case. If anyone has a macro for this, I'd love to hear from you! Thank you for your time.

Put the token on the gm layer, players do not see any initiative tracking for gm layer objects.

simply do /w gm or /gmroll for their initiative roll (5e and Pathfinder sheets have this functionality built into their NPC sections, and I'm sure others do as well).
