'''Agent 47''' is a genetically-engineered assassin and protagonist of the series, created from the recombinant [[DNA]] of five of the world's most dangerous criminals. His name comes from the last two digits of a bar code on the back of his head – (640509-0401'''47''', and also represent the number of chromosomes he has in his DNA. He is a tall, bald, blue-eyed, no-nonsense individual and usually wears a suit with black leather gloves and a red tie. Engineered from conception to be the perfect killer, 47's strength, speed, and intellect are above the human norm. The film version of 47 has a few differences from the game series version. The film version, for instance, is not a clone, but an orphan (presumably) who was trained by the Organization to become an expert assassin when he was a child. Also, the film version is revealed to have a photographic memory.

In the Hitman video game series, 47 is voiced by '''[[David Bateson]]'''. In the movie adaptation, he is portrayed by '''[[Timothy Olyphant]]'''.

===Diana Burnwood===
'''Diana Burnwood''' is 47's controller at the Agency. Diana briefs 47 on his assignments, oversees his progress, and serves as his guide over the radio. For the vast majority of the series, 47 never sees Diana, recognizing her only by voice. They do come face-to-face at the conclusion of ''Hitman: Blood Money'' and ''Hitman: Contracts''. Diana has a posh English accent and a business-like demeanor. Because her face is never shown, she is considered an [[unseen character]]. In Contracts, she is briefly seen as a blond woman with fair skin; in Blood Money, her hair is of brunette color.

Although Diana usually handles 47's affairs from afar, she turns out to be a major character in ''Hitman: Blood Money''; serving as a double agent, faking 47's death, saving the Agency from liquidation, and dodging death herself a few times.<ref>'''Diana:''' You and I are all that's left of the Agency 47, and I doubt I'll last much longer.

''Hitman: Blood Money'' ([[US]]) [[2006]]-[[May 26|5-26]]</ref>

In the film adaptation, Diana plays a much smaller role. She initially gives 47 information about his missions, and quickly warns him when he is set up by the Agency. However, she never appears or is mentioned again in the film.

Diana is voiced by '''Vivienne McKee'''.

===Dr. Otto Wolfgang Ort-Meyer===
'''Dr. Otto Wolfgang Ort-Meyer''' is a discredited German scientist living in Romania, Ort-Meyer's radical theories were deemed insane by his peers. Dr. Ort-Meyer served in the French Foreign Legion with the other four creators of 47, and after leaving ran a mental institution, which he used as a cover for genetic experiments. In exchange for research funding, Ort-Meyer provided his former comrades with donor organs harvested from clone bodies, which significantly extended their longevity. (By the events of Hitman: Codename 47, each of Ort-Meyer's accomplices were well into their 60-70s, but appeared 10-20 years younger.) Ort-Meyer believed that genetic recombination and human cloning could be used to produce a perfected version of the human species, superior in strength and mind and unburdened by conscience. His ultimate goal (unbeknown to his associates) was to create an army of flawless and unquestioningly obedient supermen. When Ort-Meyer's associates become suspicious of his motives, he employed 47 to systematically eliminate each of them. When 47 discovered Ort-Meyer's plans, he managed to eradicate his latest line of clones and break Ort-Meyer's neck.

The subtitles in ''Blood Money'' refer to him as "Ortmeier".

===Agent Smith===
'''Agent Smith''' is a fairly inept American secret agent with ties to the [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] and the Agency. He has a tendency to be captured and [[torture]]d by the people he has been assigned to spy on. As a result, the Agency has sent 47 to rescue him on a number of occasions. His torture experiences have caused him to take up drinking on the job, making him even more ineffective.

Like 47, Agent Smith dons a variety of disguises, but most often he's seen beaten and stripped down to his American Flag [[boxer shorts]]. He seems to regard 47 as a friend, no doubt because 47 has rescued him so many times. The feeling is not mutual. 47 initially treats his relationship with Agent Smith as detached and professional, but as he is forced to rescue Smith again and again he increasingly sees Smith as an ineffective hindrance.

In the film adaptation, Agent Smith is portrayed as a far more competent and savvy intelligence agent. In return for killing a high-profile CIA target, Agent Smith assists 47 in evading arrest from [[Interpol]].

===Mei-Ling===
'''Mei-Ling''' is a young woman from the Chinese mainland, abducted and recruited into the brothel of Hong Kong crimelord Lee Hong. 47 rescues her in exchange for information about her employer in preparation for assassinating him.<ref>'''Mei Ling:''' You foreigner. Then you understand. Listen, you have to help me, please. They kidnapped me and then they brought me here... [...] First you have to get me out of here and then the combination is yours. [[Eidos Interactive]] ''Hitman Contracts'' [[4-20]]-[[2004]] (''[[United States|US]]'')</ref> After escaping from Lee Hong, Mei-Ling is later revealed to be prostituting herself to Hayamoto, another [[Asia]]n crime lord. 47 ends up rescuing her again (much to his consternation).<ref>'''47:''' Sill living a lousy life I see.

Mei-Ling is apparently the first woman who has ever kissed 47; his reaction is different in the original game from the remake. In the original ''Hitman'', 47 reacts with significant revulsion. In the remake ''Hitman: Contracts'', his reaction is one of detached bemusement. She was known as '''Lei Ling''' in the original Hitman: Codename 47.

Revision as of 22:18, 17 February 2009

This is a list of fictional characters from the Hitman series. This includes the video games Hitman: Codename 47, Hitman 2: Silent Assassin, Hitman: Contracts and Hitman: Blood Money as well as the film. Characters are organized by their importance and factions in the games.

Major recurring characters

Agent 47

Agent 47 is a genetically-engineered assassin and protagonist of the series, created from the recombinant DNA of five of the world's most dangerous criminals. His name comes from the last two digits of a bar code on the back of his head &ndash-20]]-2004 (US)</ref> After escaping from Lee Hong, Mei-Ling is later revealed to be prostituting herself to Hayamoto, another Asian crime lord. 47 ends up rescuing her again (much to his consternation).[1]

Mei-Ling is apparently the first woman who has ever kissed 47; his reaction is different in the original game from the remake. In the original Hitman, 47 reacts with significant revulsion. In the remake Hitman: Contracts, his reaction is one of detached bemusement. She was known as Lei Ling in the original Hitman: Codename 47.

Hitman: Codename 47

Lee Hong

Lee Hong is one of the four primary targets in the game. He has a poison tipped sword and has a personal bodyguard, who tastes his food and protects him from danger. He is known publicly as "The Man with no Conscience", and is leader of the Red Dragon triad, as well as owner of the Wang Fou restaurant.

Pablo Belisario Ochoa

Colombian drug lord Pablo Ochoa was born in Cali, Colombia in 1930. By the age of 18 his criminal activities were already extensive, what with his multiple convictions and the manslaughter of a rival who was going after a girlfriend. He escaped sentence for the latter by exploiting his criminal connections, which resulted in the murder of the judge who was to preside at his trial. He escaped to France and joined the French Foreign Legion, but later returned to Colombia in 1955 where he built his criminal drug-centered empire. However, as a result of several bloody fights with other Colombian cartels, Ochoa was forced to retreat to his stronghold in the rainforest. His mannerisms are heavily based on the character Tony Montana from the movie Scarface.

Frantz Fuchs

International terrorist Fuchs was born in Linz, Austria in 1929 where he spent his formative years nurtured in violence by his father who, when World War II broke out, encouraged the young Frantz to join a different youth organisation that had uniforms, instilled hatred in his mind and provided his son with weapons to play with. Frantz's violent paradise was shattered, however, when the Nazis fell to the Allies. He fled to Marseilles where he joined the French Foreign Legion and quickly rose in the ranks as he continued to hone his talents in explosives and assassination. After he left the service in 1955, Fuchs continued to practice his brand of terrorism and established a name for himself as one of the world's most dangerous mercenaries.

Arkadij Jegorov

Arkadij Jegorov, also known as Boris Ivanovich Duruska, is an international gunrunner born in 1930 in Semipalatinsk, Kazakhstan where, under the harsh poverty conditions and scrutiny of the local and loyal apparatchiks, he cultivated a strong hatred for the communist regime. His journey down the road to crime began at the age of 15 when he began stealing weapons from the Soviets and selling them to Cossack nationalists. His father saw fit to turn him to the authorities; however, Jegorov eluded the police and went into hiding in the mountains before making his way to Marseilles, where he was to join the French Foreign Legion in 1950. By the end of his service in 1955, Jegorov had established a gun-running route through Turkey and Iran. His gunrunner activities continued after he left the league, culminating in his going into business with the Russian mafia in the mid 1980s and building up a gun-trafficking operation that covered most of the world.

Doctor Odon Kovacs

Dr. Odon Kovacs was educated in medicine at the University of Bucharest, and has served in the Romanian psychiatric hospital since graduation. He specializes in subconscious mind control and behavioral sciences, and supposedly performs questionable studies on psychiatric hospital subjects. He was apparently involved in Professor Ort-Meyer's cloning experiments as well and Agent 47 remembers him as "the man with the needle".

Series 48 clones

The Series 48 clones, also known as the Mr. 48's are a set of clones created by Professor Ort-Meyer, superior to 47. They are depicted as stronger, more accurate and more loyal than 47. They are all slaughtered by 47 at the game's conclusion. Though they are devoid of emotion, they carry a constant fixated grin. Throughout their confrontation with 47, it appears although they are physically superior, they lack the real world training 47 has, which might just be the reason for their eradication at the hands of 47.

Hitman 2: Silent Assassin

Sergei Zavorotko

Sergei Zavorotko is a Russian mafia boss and arms dealer. He serves as the main antagonist of Hitman 2: Silent Assassin.

Sergei is the older brother of Arkadij Jegorov, and effectively 47's uncle. He specialises in the transport of chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear weapons, also known as CBRN. At the beginning of Silent Assassin, Sergei brings 47 out of retirement by arranging the kidnapping of 47's friend Father Vittorio, then anonymously orders several contract assassinations through the Agency so 47 can perform a series of hits on Sergei's business partners. The hits are later revealed to be a diversion, as Sergei is actually using 47 to obliviously assemble the parts of a Nuclear Missile System capable of penetrating the American missile shield, a system Sergei plans to sell to a wealthy Sikh doomsday cult for a considerable sum of money. However, the device is intercepted by the UN, and Sergei attempts to cover up his involvement and hires a early clone created by Dr. Ort-Meyer named Mr. 17 to assassinate 47, which he fails. 47 returns to the Gontranno Sanctuary, where Sergei is holding Father Vittorio hostage. A battle ensues between the two, where 47 at first wounds Sergei but then finishes him off with a final shot from one of his silverballers..

Mystery Man

"Mystery Man" is an unidentified man in a black suit. Little is known about his past other than the fact that he himself claims to have seen 47 while in Rotterdam, presumably during the events of Hitman: Codename 47. He first appears at the beginning of Silent Assassin as an advisor to Sergei, bringing to him the attention of 47. Ultimately, he persuades Sergei to order an assassination on 47.

It is implied towards the end of the game that the "Mystery Man" is really manipulating Sergei for a higher power and that he is the person who tips off the UN about Sergei's nuclear weapons. Incidentally, the inmates of Ort-Meyer's asylum refer to 47 as "Mystery Man", in Codename 47.

Mr. 17

Mr. 17, also known as Agent 17 was Ort-Meyer's first assassin. He is seen in Hitman 2 Silent Assassin. He appears twice throughout the game and attempts to kill 47 once on the [Hospital island and then again in Russia]. His appearance is almost identical to that of 47, except he wears an orange tie, earpiece and sunglasses and a blue suit. His apperace is marginally different but he in they way he eliminates targets is different he his not as strong, shorter and not as accomplished with weapons. He is killed by 47.

Giuseppe Guillani

Giuseppe Guillani, also known as Don "Anguillo" Guillani, the don (crime boss) of one of the largest, most influential groups of the SicilianMafia. The headquarters of this group is Gulliani's villa, Villa Borghese, in the countryside of Palermo. Agent 47 ventures there after Father Vittorio is kidnapped by him, killing Gulliani but discovering that Vittorio has already been taken away from the villa by men in Russian uniforms.

Makarov

Makarov is one of four Russian generals who are associated with Sergei Zavorotko. After one of the generals was assassinated by 47 at a meeting they all attended with Sergei in St. Petersburg, the other three generals, including Makarov, each began their own investigations into the murder. Makarov contacted the Russian mafia boss, Igor Kubasko, to buy protection and perhaps information on the one who ordered the assassination. 47 kills both men during their meeting in Kirov Park.

Mikhail Bardachenko

Mikhail Bardachenko is another Russian general who has dealings with Sergei. After the incident at St. Petersburg, Bardachenko became paranoid and started to arrest anyone he considered suspicious. He interrogated his captives at a military facility just off Nevsky Prospekt. Among these captives is Agent Smith, whom Bardachenko begins to interrogate and torture just before 47 kills the general.

Vladimir Zhupikov

Vladimir Zhupikov is the last Russian general encountered by 47. Fearing for his life, Zhupikov defected to Germany in order to gain political asylum there. He also took with him a missile guidance system, which he intended to sell to the highest bidder after he arrives in Germany. 47 assassinates Zhupikov and recovers the guidance system despite an attempt by a Spetsnaz agent to claim the system for his own superiors.

Masahiro Hayamoto

Masahiro Hayamoto (早元昌弘, Hayamoto Masahiro) is a well-known arms dealer based in central Japan. Operating from his secret headquarters at the ancient Katsuyama Castle (勝山城, Katsuyama-jō), Hayamoto is surrounded at all times by an army of highly-trained ninjas and a wide array of the latest electronic security measures. The arms dealer was also capable of defending himself using a katana. One of Hayamoto's more notable associates is Sergei Zavorotko. Having successfully sequestered himself from public life, Hayamoto conducts business through his son, Masahiro Hayamoto Junior. In order to locate Hayamoto, 47 first kills Hayamoto Jr. at his remote, private house and plants a transmitter in the corpse. Following the transmitter's signal after Hayamoto's men bring his dead son to the arms dealer, 47 continues to infiltrate Katsuyama Castle's defenses until finally killing Hayamoto himself (with help from Mei-Ling) in his own room on the top floor of the castle. After stealing an experimental missile guidance system from Hayamoto's private museum in the castle's basement, 47 escapes the castle with Mei-Ling in Hayamoto's private helicopter.

Charlie Sidjan

Charlie Sidjan is a Malaysian electronics tycoon based in the Petronas Tower in Kuala Lumpur. He created a missile guiding chip that is able to make the United States seem as the launcher of a launched missile. He has an identical twin brother who creates and operates the missile guiding system. ICA believed that it was his twin brother who was Charlie Sidjan. Upon killing the twin brother, Agent 47 discovered that it wasn't Charlie Sidjan and that the real Charlie Sidjan was in his penthouse suite on top of the Petronas Tower. Agent 47 proceeds there, infiltrates the penthouse suite and eventually kills the real Charlie Sidjan, who was in a hot tub with several women.

Hitman: Contracts

Inspector Albert Fournier

There are not many new characters in Hitman Contracts due to most of the missions being flashbacks, however, the last mission is set in present time during 47's recovery. Inspector Fournier is a Paris police officer who is a mutual friend of Phillipe Berceuse and Richard Delahunt who 47 assassinates at the opera. Fournier has found out about 47 and either he or another policeman shoots 47 when he escapes from the opera (47 also comments on how he has been ambushed). Severely wounded, 47 returns to his hotel room where he has flashbacks of previous assassinations. When 47 recovers, the hotel is surrounded by a SWAT team led by Inspector Fournier. 47 can't risk Fournier knowing about his identity and therefore assassinates him and leaves Paris.

Rutgert van Leuven

Rutgert van Leuven is a Dutch mobster and president of Flaming Motorcycle Club, a biker gang and international crime syndicate. He was assasinated in his large Rotterdam warehouse-base by Agent 47 on orders of the Agency after trying to auction off dubious photographs of a client.

Klaas Teller

Klaas Teller is an undercover operative sent into Flaming MC's clubhouse to retrieve the photographs. He was captured by the bikers, however, and taken to the basement to be tortured. He was later killed by Agent 47 as he was believed to have switched sides.

Hitman: Blood Money

Alexander Leland Cayne

File:Alexander Leland Cayne.png
Alexander Leland Cayne

"Jack" Alexander Leland Cayne, also known as Leland Alexander by some sources, is a former FBI director and the narrator of Hitman: Blood Money. He serves as the main antagonist of the game.

The official website of Blood Money suggests that Alexander was severely injured in a work accident and consequently is paralyzed from the waist down with much of the skin on the right side of his face missing (however, it is his left side that is severely damaged).[2] In his time as FBI Director, Alexander became aware of 47's activities, as well as the truth behind the Ort-Meyer Project. Together with a contact in the Central Intelligence Agency, Alexander devoted the energies of both the FBI and the CIA toward hunting down and destroying 47. Ostensibly, his goal was to destroy 47's genetic material to prevent rogue states from acquiring the DNA and producing their own cloned supersoldiers. The events of Blood Money are recounted as flashbacks to 47's career by Cayne to Rick Henderson, a journalist.

As the game progresses and Cayne recounts his story, it becomes increasingly clear that he is an unreliable narrator, as the details he recites differ somewhat from what actually happens in 47's missions. At first it is unclear if he is lying or merely misinformed, but ultimately Cayne is revealed to be the real leader of "The Franchise", the rival organisation to the Agency. His true intentions are to acquire 47's DNA to help "The Franchise"'s own human cloning program. Cayne's public opposition to the legalization of human cloning is not about moral objections to cloning as initially suggested, but rather to ensure that "The Franchise" has a monopoly on the technology. His interview with the reporter is crafted to manipulate public opinion on the issue.

During the early stages of the game, the Vice President of the United States is killed in a supposed 'car accident'. "The Franchise" installs Daniel Morris, a corrupt Alpha Zerox loyalist, to the position. Towards the end of the game, Cayne orders Mark Parchezzi III to assassinate Tom Steward, the President of the United States, so that Morris, under the influence of Alpha Zerox, can become President and ban human cloning.

In the conclusion of the game, Diana appears to betray Agent 47, injecting poison into him and delivering his corpse to Cayne, who puts off doing away with 47 until he can give the reporter an eyewitness account of the assassin himself. Cayne rewards Diana with the position of being his private nurse. With the reporter present, Cayne arranges for a speedy funeral and cremation for 47 at a private chapel. It is then revealed to be part of Diana's hidden agenda however, as the poison is revealed to be a fake death-serum, used by 47 to smuggle Agent Smith out of a rehabilitation clinic by inducing him into a hibernative death-like state. Diana administers the antidote by lacing her lipstick with it and kissing 47 during his funeral, leaving his signature dual Silverballers on his chest (as she was the first to leave the chapel and she needed the Franchise exterminated, it is safe to assume she is the one who locked the gates - preventing everyone to escape from 47). 47 revives and massacres everyone attending the funeral, including all of Cayne's Franchize agents, the priest, Rick Henderson and Cayne himself, leaving no witnesses (safe for Diana, who had already left the scene before the shooting) and ultimately securing 47's identity from the public. Whether 47 realises Diana saved his life or he believes she simply failed to poison him is left unclear, so it is impossible to tell if he would have killed her, should he have awakened before her leave. Whether or not 47 learns that the ICA is back online is also left unknown, but his whereabouts are still unknown to Diana.

As Cayne covets the cloning technology that created 47, he too needs a sample from his bone marrow. However, at the end of the game, he tries to incinerate 47, thus destroying any future hope for a successful cloning operation for good. This implies that he had already collected his sample, before bringing Henderson to the chapel. Thus, it may be safe to assume that the cloning theme will be made even more important in future games in the series unless, of course, Diana managed to steal the sample. Then gain, with 47 apparently missing, at the end of the game, it would be just logical to use that bone marrow to simply create another Mr 47.

Mark Parchezzi III

File:Mark Parchezzi III.png
Mark Parchezzi III

Mark Parchezzi III, or Mark III, is an albino clone superseding Mark Purayah II and is 47's counterpart in "The Franchise". Parchezzi is sometimes alluded to in the in-game newspaper articles as the assassin behind various targets throughout the game, such as the former Vice President Spaulding Burke, allowing "The Franchise" to install Daniel Morris to the position. He is also mentioned in other newspaper articles in the game and is noted by many to top the FBI Most Wanted list. Parchezzi is also responsible for systematically eliminating most of the ICA's employees. He is the clone of Alpha Zerox, the Franchise's cloning factory. Possessing many of the same abilities as Agent 47, he is able to blend into the background like a chameleon to carry out subversive operations. Like 47, he is fond of disguises. He is first seen in a cutscene at the beginning of the game, reading about 47's contract assassination of Joseph Clarence in a newspaper. When 47 rescues Agent Smith from a rehabilitation clinic, several nurses and therapists at the facility imply that Parchezzi posed as a doctor at the clinic and interrogated Smith shortly before 47's arrival. Parchezzi has a dark and sociopathic personality caring only for power and a better cloning process to make him the perfect clone, and most likely clone himself to make his own army.

Towards the conclusion of the game it is revealed that Parchezzi's real name is simply "Mark III" and that he, like 47, is a genetically engineered clone and the most powerful in a series of clones developed by Alpha Zerox. Ultimately, Parchezzi is revealed to be in the employ of "The Franchise", and Agent Smith reveals that Parchezzi has been hired by Daniel Morris to assassinate the President of the United States. Agent 47 foils the assassination and a climactic shootout between 47 and Parchezzi ensues on the roof of the White House in which Parchezzi is shot to death by 47. An erroneous newspaper report upon completion of the level claims that Parchezzi was killed by White House security after assassinating the Vice President, thus freeing 47 from any blame.

An earlier version, Mark Purayah II, or "Mark II", was hired to assassinate the Secretary of the Interior at Mardi Gras, in collusion with other "The Franchise" assassins. As a clone, he is physically identical to Mark III. His outfit is the exact opposite of 47's suit having a white suit with a black shirt underneath while 47's suit is black with a white shirt, likely shown to resemble the difference between the two arch-enemies.

Rick Henderson

Rick Henderson is a journalist that interviews Alexander Leland Cayne throughout Blood Money. Cayne converses with Henderson about 47's activities over the past few years, in a fashion that suggests that Henderson is being told this so cloning can be outlawed for the good of national security, when in reality it is a cover for Cayne's true intentions to engineer clones free of any possible competition. Henderson is brought to 47’s funeral where all attendees are slaughtered by a revived 47.

Joseph Clarence

Joseph "Swing King" Clarence is the owner of Southland Amusement Park, a defunct amusement park in Baltimore that was shut down after a fatal accident at the park in which poor maintenance and lax safety standards caused the ferris wheel to collapse, killing 36 people. After all charges of wrongdoing were dropped in the court case brought against him, a father of one of the victims orders a hit on Clarence, and requests that a photo of his son be the last thing Clarence sees. After the incident Clarence reportedly lost his entire fortune to the legal costs of defending himself against countless lawsuits, and to stave off bankruptcy he allows a drug cartel, led by a gangster known only as Scoop, to use the dilapidated park as a drug lab. Throughout the mission there are signs that Clarence's wife has filed for a divorce, an act Clarence tries to talk her out of before giving up in despair. The mission in which Clarence is eliminated acts as a gameplay tutorial.

Don Fernando Delgado

Don Fernando Delgado is a famous wine producer. His wineyard works as a cover for cocaine production and smuggling and his death is just for a client (As the death of Manuel is supposedly only to cover the single assassination, as a drug hit) from the region. Don Fernando is a world renowned cellist, with public performances "rare" for anyone to see. He was also a colonel in Pinochet's intelligence service. He is assassinated by 47 in his private estate.

Manuel Delgado

The son, who's mostly heads the trafficking side of the business, is known to only be a target because to make the proper hit (Of Don Fernando) seem connected to drugs. He wants to take over his father's drug business, but has already broken the first rule; never take the drugs yourself. He spends most of his time water skiing and downloading pornography. He is killed by 47 in the family wine cellar that was a front for their cocaine production.

Alvaro D'Alvade

Alvaro D'Alvade, originally called Philippe Berceuse in Hitman: Contracts, is a world renowned opera singer. His career was tarnished as he was apparently taken to trial in 1997 after accusations of child rape. The charges were dropped when the child who was to testify didn't appear at court, disappearing. Her body was eventually found in a ravine, and the authorities tried to pin D'Alvade for the death, but then the death was ruled as suicide. He is said to be the greatest Cavaradossi ever, when he was rehearsing the role in Tosca. He is killed by 47 during rehearsal for Act III of Tosca. An effective way to kill him is by replacing a prop World War I pistol with a real one. The executioner shoots D'Alvade with the real pistol, killing him ironically.

Richard Delahunt

Richard Delahunt, the American ambassador to the Vatican, is an avid fan of Alvaro D'Alvade and also involved in child prostitution, using kids from Eastern Europe. Delahunt has a strong sexual appetite with the famous tenor, though he doesn't directly show it. Instead he travels around with an armed escort and watches D'Alvade perform from his private viewing box.

Both Delahunt and D'Alvade (as Berceuse) appear on the objectives screen for the final mission in Hitman: Contracts, as an expired mission briefing. The events of the game take place just after the mission in Blood Money where 47 assassinates Delahunt and D'Alvade/Berceuse, as they appear to have already been eliminated. Both men appear significantly different in their identification picture in Contracts than their final appearance.

Lorenzo Lombardo

Lorenzo Lombardo (the main target) is a big-time Las Vegas mobster, accused of various crimes, including robbery, murder, racketeering, arms trafficking, drug trafficking, fixing sports, and many others, but never found guilty of any. He is staying at the clinic to avoid police, bounty hunters, feds, and others after him and intends to flee the country. Despite his attempt to stay hidden he is found and executed by 47 at the clinic.

Carmine Desalvo

A Central American smuggler of illegal arms.

Rudy Menzana

Apart from human trafficking, Menzana is also involved in weapons and drug smuggling over the Mexican border in the US.

Vinnie Sinistra

Vinnie "Slugger" Sinistra is Cuban crimelord who was expatriated from Cuba during the Mariel boatlift in the early 1980s. The police eventually built a case against him so he turned state's witness against his former business partners and is subsequently placed under the Witness Protection Program by the FBI. 47 eliminates him and retrieves a sensitive microfilm from his wife's necklace.

Mark Purayah II

Mark Purayah II, or Mark II, is the leader of "The Crows" faction of "The Franchise". He is the second albino clone superseding his predecessor, 'Mark I'. Purayah and his faction are assigned the task of eliminating a politician during Mardi Gras. His successor, 'Mark III' is the co-leader of the faction and 47's arch nemesis. He is killed by 47 in his office while overseeing a hit.

Raymond Kulinsky

A sidekick for the leader in the Crows faction. He is a prolific and agile killer who kills anybody entering his room/place. He is in a romantic relationship with Angelina Mason. Mark Purayah officially assigned him to take out a politician using a KAZO TRG sniper rifle, however his plans are foiled by 47 after 47 kills both him and Angelina. The newspaper article seen after completing the hit reveals that he once was an Olympic athlete who injured his knee before the games and became a hitman.

This later turns out to be a set-up. 47 followed her on the streets. When 47 got close, she hadn't seen 47 before (as apparent from her reaction). 47, realizing that Nika was just bait, spares her life and feels sympathetic for her.
