82	!!!'''Citizenship:''' American
83	!!!'''Affiliation(s):''' Blake Dexter, Dexter Industries, Hope Cougars, Edward Wade
84	!!!'''Voiced By:''' Shane Stevens
85
86	Lenny Dexter, son of arms magnate Blake Dexter, is a low-ranking (almost subterranean) gangster in Hope. He is, however, much more amicable and as 47 notes in his log, ripe for interrogation. He tries his hand at being leader of the Hope Cougars and later a hired gun for Wade, but fails miserably at each: his whole gang revolts and Lenny accidentally kills one of Mr. 47's close friends, leading to his execution in the desert.
87	----
88	* AintTooProudToBeg: "End of the Road". Not only does he spend the entire time begging, but he'll passive-aggressively insult you depending on which weapon you're carrying, then offer to give 47 "a real good reach-around" if you spare him.
89	* AllPsychologyIsFreudian[=/=]LittleUselessGun: As an inside joke, Lenny Dexter's only means of defense in Absolution is a Derringer.
90	* BigWhat: Lenny discovers there is no phone reception in the desert.
91	-->"You can put a man on the moon, but you can't give me one lousy signal! AAAUGH!"
92	* BringMyBrownPants: Lenny wets his pants during his burial.
93	* BullyingADragon: Once Wade is killed, Lenny escapes with Victoria by holding her hostage with a grenade. 47 later finds him, drives out to the desert and leaves him to die.
94	* TheChewToy: Every single Hope for Lenny in his final moments:
95	## First, he finds some cover behind the stagecoach and opens fire with a derringer, all the while gloating that you're nowhere near as brave as him. Not only do all his shots miss, but you can easily just walk up and take the gun off him, changing his tune.
96	## If you chase him around long enough, he'll actually manage to limp over to 47's car... only to find that the door is locked and the keys are not in the ignition. D'oh.
97	## He finds a tomahawk embedded in a tree just a few yards away, but it's embedded too deeply for him to retrieve even after several minutes of straining; hilariously, you can retrieve the tomahawk yourself very easily.
98	## You can shoot the vultures instead of him, resulting in a killer ice-cream van running him down.
99	## And finally, you can just get in the car and drive away. Cue panic attack as Lenny realizes that he's just been abandoned in the middle of the desert, without food, water, a shirt, or a signal to his phone.
100	* CruelMercy: "End of the Road" has a variety of methods to take out Lenny and the humorous touches — like Lenny attempting to use mind hacks to make you choose a less-lethal weapon — encourages replays. The easiest and perhaps cruelest way is to simply drive away and leave him in the middle of the desert, letting the heat and the vultures do his job for you.\
101	Side note: Even if you leave Lenny to his fate, it is quite unlikely that he survives the long walk home. In addition, guard dialogue in the Penthouse of Blackwater Park confirms that Lenny never returned from the desert.
102	* DangerouslyCloseShave: "Shaving Lenny".
103	* DeathByGluttony: The Hope Cougars are enjoying some Chicago-style pizza in celebration of their first big score. "Limp-Dick" Lenny Dexter plans to move north with his old man and take over the city with his alkie friends. Watch out, folks, it's the next UsefulNotes/AlCapone. You can safety neutralize him by adding sleeping pills to the pizza.
104	* DidntThinkThisThrough: Getting in the car and leaving Lenny to his fate. For extra fun, remember that he'd been begging 47 to drive away prior to this point.
105	* DigYourOwnGrave: {{Exploited\|Trope}} by Mr. 47 in "End of the Road". Lenny can't talk if he's dead, so 47 forces him to dig a hole in the desert until he spills Victoria's location.
106	* GangOfHats: Lenny's gang. "The Cougars" consists of some washed-up former football players (the Cougars are a local team) who have turned to crime. They each wear a blue bowling shirt or varsity jacket with the Cougar insignia stitched on it.
107	* GoldfishPoopGang: Lenny and his "Cougars" are detested by most people in Hope. They even work day jobs, since their "gang" activity is limited to small-time schemes and irritating the hell out of Hope's store-owners.
108	* GreaserDelinquents: The Cougars are stereotypical girl-chasing, social misfits from 50's Americana (see: ''Rebel Without a Cause''.)
109	* HarmlessVillain: Lenny Dexter is a two-bit, Podunk gang leader from Podunk with delusions of grandeur. Now that he's had a taste of the big city, he confides to his barber (Mr. 47) that he plans to expand his outfit to Chicago. "I could RUN that town!"
110	* IJustShotMarvinInTheFace: At the end of "Rosewood", Wade goads Lenny Dexter into shooting Sister Mary to prove what a HARD MAN man he is. As Lenny is yelling at Wade that he's tough (with his back turned to the nun and his gun pointed at her), he accidentally discharges the gun, executing her.
111	* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy:
112	** In the leaderboard of [=MacGarmond's=] Gun Shop, you can see his Lenny's on the contest scoreboard. He apparently uses a Swiss Derringer (which you can find on his corpse in "End of the Road") and scored 129, significantly lower than the other contestants.
113	** In "End of the Road" he can take cover behind the old stagecoach and unload his Derringer at 47. He ''never'' hits, even if you walk right up to him in a straight line.
114	* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: He's so pitiful and incompetent that it's hard not to feel at least a little bad for him. Unfortunately, he's up against Agent 47, who's not exactly known for being merciful.
115	* InelegantBlubbering: "Go away, vultures! I ain't dead yet! sob I ain't dead! (''[[OhCrap I am so dead]].'')"
116	* IronicName: His real first name, Leonardo, means "brave as a lion".
117	* LookBothWays: In "End of the Road", after 47 is done interrogating Lenny, he orders him to start walking. 47 then has three options: he can kill him, or simply drive away and leave him in the middle of the desert, or trigger an easter egg that ends up with Lenny being run over by a speeding [[BadHumorTruck ice cream truck]] that comes out of nowhere.
118	* ManChild: In Blackwater Park, Lenny's bedroom contains half-eaten Pop Tarts, a guide titled ''Get the Girls You Want'', a bong and a sniper rifle with a nearby tally of [[PokeThePoodle how many pigeons he's shot]].
119	* MilesGloriosus:
120	** When he gets back from Chicago, he tells all sorts of tall tales about how badass he was. Needless to say, they're all lies.
121	** If you somehow manage to kill yourself in "End of the Road"--a mission with ''no hostile enemies''--by shooting the dynamite while standing near it, it will show a small cutscene of Lenny claiming that ''he'' killed the Hitman (which really rubs in [[HaveANiceDeath what an idiot]] you are for doing that).
122	* TheMillstone:
123	** This is how 47 retraces Wade's employer back to Hope, South Dakota. The only reason Wade had a matchbox on him in the first place was because Blake asked Lenny to give him a light in a previous scene and he just grabbed a nearby matchbook and handed it to Wade. Not the last time Lenny was a detriment to the cause.
124	--->'''47''': Lenny Dexter...Of all my enemies, he is the weakest link. Making him talk will ''not'' be a problem.
125	** Even in death, Lenny practically serves up Layla on a platter for the player to murder. In Lenny's room, there is a silenced rifle near a window. Through the window you can see a part of the balcony. If she is Layla is over the railing and off of the roof and the guards aren't looking, it will be a clean and silenced kill.
126	* MyCarHatesMe: If you dawdle for too long in "End of the Road", Lenny will hobble over to 47's car in an attempt to drive away. If he makes it, however, the car doors are locked.
127	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: When he shoots Sister Mary, he's immediately upset and remorseful. His dialogue in later missions shows that he's still wracked with guilt over it and he fears a karmic reprisal.
128	* {{Nepotism}}: With the enthusiasm of a cat bringing home a dead bird, Lenny hems and haws until Dexter caves and lets him accompany Wade to Chicago. Wade is open in his lack of regard for "Limpdick Lenny" and protests having to babysit him.
129	* NotWorthKilling: 47 says there's "no honor" in killing a defenseless worm like Lenny (note that 47 has no problem killing people on their operating table, Lenny is somehow more vulnerable). 47 driving off and leaving him alive will earn you an achievement/trophy titled "Not Worth It".
130	* OverlordJr: Leonardo Dexter harbors delusions of becoming a big-time Chicago mobster. He is also Blake's sole heir; he badgers and whines until Daddy agrees to partner him up with Wade (who has major reservations about letting him tag along).
131	* OverlyNarrowSuperlative: "I won't kill anymore nuns, I swear!"
132	* {{Pornstache}}: Lenny is sporting some bum fluff.
133	* PunkInTheTrunk: Unlike most of his targets 47 needs to capture Lenny alive (for the moment at least) so he knocks him out, sticks him in the trunk of his car and drives out into the middle of nowhere to interrogate him.
134	* ReversePsychology: In "End of the Road", Lenny has insults prepared for various weapons you brandish at him, including a silenced pistol.
135	* ShameIfSomethingHappened: In "Shaving Lenny", a police officer can be overheard threatening Earl, the auto mechanic, into dropping charges on Lenny.
136	* SimpletonVoice: Lenny and Skurkey both have a speech impediment, causing them to slur words. In Lenny's case, the lisp was caused by his old man beating him up as a child.
137	* {{Stinger}}: If the player decides to leave Lenny alive, he will continue to plod along in the desert while talking to himself, which can be overheard in the 'Lost and Found' menu. He states that he was once a cub scout, along with miscellaneous dialogue (none of which bodes well for him).
138	* StupidCrooks:
139	-->'''Wade:''' I need to bring my boys. That means double my fee.\
140	'''Dexter''': Take Lenny with you.\
141	'''Wade''': ''Triple'' my fee. Sorry, kid's a dip-shit.
142	* TattooedCrook: In contrast to Wade, Lenny has much more ostentatious arm tattoos.
143	* ThirstyDesert: "End of the Road". Desert walking without supplies ''always'' ends badly.
144	* TooDumbToLive:
145	** His every decision in the game qualifies as this—not the least being taking Victoria as a hostage. Amusing since it was actually the only thing he did right as far as his father's plan go.
146	** Despite having come face to face with 47 once earlier, he will not recognize him if he is in a barber disguise with his face visible. He will even reminiscence about what happened at Rosewood Orphanage while watching 47 through the mirror.
147	* WrongGenreSavvy: Sparing his life in "End of the Road" has the bonus of listening to more funny dialogue from Lenny.
148	-->"All I have to do is find the North Star... ''[realization hits]'' '''''IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAYTIME!'''''"

191
192	Blake Dexter's personal bodyguard, an enormous Mexican wrestler who is the product of a failed SuperSoldier project similar to the ones that produced 47 and Victoria.
193	----
194	* AwesomeButImpractical: His gigantism makes him useless as a SuperSoldier; He's a huge target and sticks out like a sore thumb. He's only really of any use as a bodyguard.
195	* BigEater: Implied, since he's banned from an all-you-can-eat buffet.
196	* TheBigGuy: Possibly the largest person in the series.
197	* TheBrute: At 7'6", he's utterly huge. The largest member of Dexter's organization. His main roles are as Dexter's bodyguard and as a wrestler.
198	* DefiantToTheEnd: Smiles when 47 says he is gonna finish him and lunges for a final attack.
199	* GoneHorriblyRight: He was a test subject for an experimental SuperSoldier serum. He got stronger, but gained some deformities from it, such as his gigantic size.
200	* NeckSnap: A potential way to end him. Takes the form of a QTE wrestling match.
201	* NoSell: He is the only person to have survived 47's garrote. 47's (first) attempt on him results in 47 being knocked unconscious.
202	* UnskilledButStrong: Can toss 47 around like nothing and is simply too strong to be garroted. Turns out the hitman was just too overconfident and the rematch can end with 47 wiping the floor with the giant in a hand to hand fight as Sanchez is too slow and bulky to land a hit on the trained hitman.
203	* VillainousValour: Even after 47 beats him into submission and informs him that he won't leave alive, Sanchez smiles and attempts one last stand against the assassin.

211
212	A notorious all-female assassination squad that acts as elite killers for the Agency, created by and under the personal command of Benjamin Travis.
213	----
214	* AmazonBrigade: They're an all-female squad of elite killers.
215	* AssassinOutclassin: Travis sends them to eliminate 47 once it becomes clear he's gone rogue and is protecting Victoria. 47 turns the table and wipes them out.
216	* BadHabits: They wear S&M-themed black latex outfits modeled on nuns' habits. In the trailer they can be seen wearing actual nun habits over their outfits to blend in, which they whip off for combat.
217	* CombatStilettos: In keeping with their S&M themed outfits.
218	* EyepatchOfPower: Heather [=McCarthy=] (the Saint with the latex collar and red laces on her thigh-high boots) wears an eyepatch in the game (though not in the trailer or her profile image) and is notably the only Saint in the "Attack of the Saints" trailer who manages to give 47 significant trouble, deflecting multiple attacks from him with melee strikes.
219	* HandCannon: [=LaSandra=] Dixon carries a unique custom .44 magnum revolver, the Absolver.
220	* InformedAbility: Despite their status as EliteMooks, when you actually face them in-game they're not noticeably much different from regular enemies in terms of tactics and abilities. They do double damage, are able to survive 1 bullet to the torso more than a regular Mook and can deflect a barehanded melee attack, all of which is barely noticeable. In sharp contrast the Praetorians, the game's FinalBoss encounter, actually ''are'' noticeably much more dangerous than regular enemies both in and out of combat.
221	* KungFuProofMook: Like the game's other EliteMooks, they can deflect a barehanded melee attack, though a second follow up attack will still take them out.
222	* MascotMook: Much of the advertising around ''Absolution'' centers around them, most likely due to their MsFanservice status.
223	** AdvertisedExtra: They only appear in a single mission, in which 47 wipes out all 7 of them.
224	* MookLieutenant: They act as this in the mission in which you face them, acting as officers commanding a few dozen Agency mooks.
225	* NotQuiteDead: The "Meet the Saints" trailer for the game suggests that their captain, [=LaSandra=] Dixon, was merely crippled and put into a coma instead of killed outright during their confrontation with 47, but this plot point has never been picked up on.
226	* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: The Saints are a motley collection of ex-cons, domestic abuse victims, refugees and bent cops. Naturally they favour explosions over stealth and are callous with civilian lives.
227	-->'''ICA trooper''': Gotta hand it to that Travis: he's nothing if not inventive.
228	* {{Stripperiffic}}: Their uniform consists of black latex fetish gear modeled after nun habits. Amusingly, a collectible note indicates that the uniforms were the Saints' idea and Travis just decided not to question it.

237	!!!'''Voiced By:''' Creator/JonGries
238
239	Clive Skurky, oozing visible slime, is the corrupt Sheriff of Hope County. He is also on Blake Dexter's payroll, serving as the public face of the company. He attracts the wrath of 47 after Victoria is smuggled into his jail.
240	----
241	* AccidentalMisnaming: "That's ''Skurky!'' Not Jerky!"
242	* BilingualBonus: "Skurk" in the Scandinavian languages means crook or villain.
243	* BondVillainStupidity: At the start of "Operation Sledgehammer", Skurky takes a piss break after interrogating 47, leaving him completely alone. This gives 47 ample opportunity to untie himself. C'mon, Clive, you were doing so well up until that point.
244	* BondageIsBad: Don't go looking for the Sheriff at the police station. Skurky's... "office" is located in the courthouse basement, where he and assistant "Mrs. Cooper" pass the time with bondage games and spanking. He seems to spend as much time (if not more) in the pokey than actual prisoners do, a fact which Dexter chews him out on. At other points in the game, various Dexter Inc. mooks are seen watching bondage porn--which is actually footage of the Sheriff himself!
245	* BrokenMasquerade: 47 kicks in the church door when he comes for the Sheriff. This causes a panic in the pews, until they grasp that Skurky is the one to worry about.
246	* CoDragons: With Edward Wade. He is a permanent unlike Wade who is a PsychoForHire, providing police protection for Blake.
247	* CombatPragmatist: In "Skurky's Law", 47 infiltrates the Hope County Courthouse to retrieve Victoria. When he is near, Skurky knocks him out with an electrified pool of water, then for good measure, "cooks" him with a stungun. Even ''Sanchez'' respects the Sheriff's cunning.
248	-->"You don't want trouble with him, though. He don't fight clean like me."
249	* TheCoronerDothProtestTooMuch: One of the citizens suing Dexter Industries misses his court date by a hair. Sheriff Skurky explains the witness got tied up downstairs after an accident involving his deputies. "He, uh, he hit his head pretty hard."
250	* DefiantToTheEnd: Subverted. When 47 demands him to reveal Blake's location, Skurky tells 47 to go fuck himself. However, when when 47 stomps on his bullet wound, he immediately submits and blurts out Blake's location.
251	* DiesWideShut: Skurky dies in mid-scream, having submitted to 47's torture.
252	* DirtyCop: In ''Absolution'', pretty much the entire sheriff's department of Hope, South Dakota, including the sheriff, Clive Skurky, is on the take from Blake Dexter.
253	* DirtyCoward: Skurky enters the Hope Church trying to escape from the Agency and 47. When the officiating priest tries to help, Clive takes him hostage.
254	* TheDreaded: If a muscle-bound cage fighter warns Agent 47 about Skurky then he must be a real threat, which is slightly true since he is one of Blake's main enforcers and that he manages to capture Agent 47 without a problem.
255	* FauxAffablyEvil: While speaking to Judge Strickland about a prisoner that had an 'accident', he comes across as soft-spoken, despite the fact that he's lying through his teeth.
256	* HellholePrison: The example to beat is "Skurky's Law", a real life medieval dungeon which lies underneath the Hope courthouse. Here prisoners are routinely beaten and suffer concussions shortly before giving a trial testimony.
257	-->'''Layla''': [to 47] Look, man, just tell him what he wants to know. 'Accidents' happen in this jail all the time.
258	* TheImmodestOrgasm: Skurky's pained expression when he dies. It sort of suggests he's climaxing during sex--which fits his S&M fetish. Sheriff Skurky's campaign slogan ('YES! YES! YES!') is another thing again.
259	* ImplausibleDeniability: One of the newspaper clippings in the jail shows an image of Skurky next to, "CORRUPTION, ME?"
260	* KangarooCourt: Despite having a reputation for being "fair", Judge Strickland is totally aware of Sheriff Skurky's corruption, yet shows no objection to it.
261	* KarmicDeath: Not only does Skurky actively torture the Hope courthouse's prisoners, he also plays bondage games with Mrs. Cooper on his free time. At the end of 'Operation Sledgehammer', Skurky meets his end when, after being fatally shot, 47 stomps on his bullet wound to make him talk, and he immediately submits.
262	* LookBothWays: After being interrogated by Sheriff Skurky, 47 escapes captivity just in time for ICA's private army to invade. The Sheriff tries to escape, but gets struck by an [=SUV=] and then chased down the street by a helicopter carrying the maniacal Travis.
263	* MythologyGag: Skurky hides within a local church and uses the priest as a shield, just as Sergei does in [=H2=].
264	* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Skurky, of all people, manages to get the drop on 47.
265	-->"No problemo. Ehh, just some bald fuck. Told ya, I'm a professional."
266	* {{Pixellation}}:
267	** In "Shaving Lenny", a porno is playing on the TV in the Cougars' headquarters. The footage is of the town sheriff with his face pixillated and his dominatrix. This footage is lifted directly from the cutscene following the mission.
268	** Even earlier, if 47 starts the movie projector in order to distract the guards in the Terminus Hotel, the same footage plays.
269	* {{Pornstache}}: His first scene, not coincidentally, shows him being interrupted mid-coitus by Dexter's phone call.
270	* ProfaneLastWords: Subverted. He attempts to make "Go fuck yourself" the last thing he tells 47, but when 47 stomps on his bullet wound, he blurts out Blakes location and dies mid-scream.
271	* RevolversAreJustBetter: Skurky's weapon is a Mustang Snub revolver with the badge of the Sheriff of Hope on the handle.
272	* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: The other officers resent taking orders from Skurky's side-piece, but they allow the Sheriff to do what he wants.
273	* ShrineToSelf: The prison block is wallpapered with Skurky campaign posters and newspaper clippings of his (farcical) electoral victories.
274	* SinisterShades: Which he always wears, even while having sex in a dark underground cell.
275	* TortureTechnician: Skurky enjoys torture so much, he even chains ''himself'' up down here and allows a dominatrix to whip him. The tables are turned when 47 guns him down in church, then stomps on his bullet wound to make him talk.

279	!!Layla Stockton
280	!!!'''Citizenship:''' American
281	!!!'''Affiliation(s):''' Blake Dexter, Dexter Industries
282	!!!'''Voiced By:''' Traci Lords
283
284	Blake Dexter's lithe personal assistant. Comes across as the only member of Dexter's inner circle who's not a depraved psychopath, but is still amoral enough to be working for him.
285	----
286	* BlackBraAndPanties: As revealed during her HoneyTrap strip tease.
287	* DeathFromAbove: One method of killing her is to drop a whale skeleton hanging in Dexter's office on top of her head.
288	* DuelBoss: If you confront her inside the panic room, after trying to distract 47 with a strip-tease in a cutscene, Layla will quickly draw a pistol on you and you've got a second to cap her with your silverballers before she shoots you in the head and brutally stomps on your groin as you lay on your back bleeding out.
289	* ExecutiveSuiteFight: You hunt Layla within Dexter's penthouse suite atop Blackwater Park, just before your RooftopConfrontation with Dexter himself.
290	* HoneyTrap: If 47 follows her into Dexter's panic room, she'll attempt to seduce him by doing a strip-tease, then shoot him with a concealed pistol she's carrying behind her back. Unfortunately for her, 47 is famously asexual and NotDistractedByTheSexy and already has his silverballers at the ready. She only gets as far as she does because 47 is hoping to get some information out of her.
291	* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: You can take her out by shooting her with a harpoon gun that's conveniently pointed at Dexter's desk. Alternatively, you can sneak up on her dressed as a samurai, in which case you'll stab her through the back of the head with your katana.
292	* MushroomSamba: One method of assassinating her is to poison her sushi with U'wa tribe toxin; the toxin will melt her brain and cause her to trip balls and she'll end up jumping off the building trying to chase imaginary ladybugs before the toxin can kill her directly.
293	** This comes with an EasterEgg: If you turn on Instinct while she's hallucinating, [[ISeeThemToo you can see them too]].
294	* [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Woman]]: She's the only member of Dexter's inner circle who's not a depraved psychopath and chews him out for doing insane shit like murdering a maid in cold blood to frame the Hitman. Though she's still amoral enough to work for Dexter and seems to genuinely like him despite her occasional protests whenever he does something crazy and depraved.
295	* PunchClockVillain: Despite her objections to some of Dexter's more deranged actions, she still willingly works for him.
296	* UnderestimatingBadassery: She seems to believe she has what it takes to take on 47 and come out on top. She's pretty fast with a pistol, but is nonetheless gravely mistaken.
297	* VictoriasSecretCompartment: Was somehow able to conceal a handgun behind her back while wearing nothing except a bra and panties. She likely taped it to her back [[Film/DieHard John McClane-style]].
298	* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: There are over a half dozen different unique methods to assassinate her, the most of any target in the game. This makes Layla the most "normal" Hitman assassination target, whereas most of the game's other major villains are dealt with in some form of flashy scripted cinematic showdown (you ''can'' get into a flashy scripted cinematic showdown with her, but it's just one of many different ways to kill her).

311
312	Benjamin Travis' right-hand woman, who comes across as far more level-headed and competent compared to her boss.
313	----
314	* DeathFromAbove: The two special methods of assassinating her involve dropping heavy objects on her. You can either sabotage the crane and drop a heavy marble slab on her, or collapse a tunnel on her and drop several dozen tons of rock on her.
315	* HypercompetentSidekick: Comes across as far more sensible, level-headed and competent than Travis.
316	* PunchClockVillain: Really, the only reason she does what Travis says is because he's her boss.
317	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: She seems to respect her subordinates and if you approach her disguised as an Agency trooper she'll compliment you for your hard work.
318	* [[HeKnowsTooMuch She Knows Too Much]]: 47 notes that Jade would likely be all too willing to betray Travis and under different circumstances would make a useful ally. Unfortunately for her, the fact she knows about Victoria means she knows too much to be allowed to live.
319	* TheStarscream: 47 notes that Jade is likely bidding her time for Travis to self-destruct so she can step in and take his job. Unfortunately, [[HeKnowsTooMuch She Knows Too Much]] and 47 intends to eliminate her as well.

325	!!!'''Affiliation(s):''' ICA, Benjamin Travis
326	!!!'''Voiced By:''' Jeffrey Johnson (Jack Aegis), Gavin Hammon (John Hoplon), Steve Blum (Carey Scutum)
327
328	A trio of elite mercenaries who serve as Benjamin Travis' personal bodyguards in the final level, serving as the game's FinalBoss encounter.
329	----
330	* ElitesAreMoreGlamorous: According to dialogue between Agency mooks in the final level, the Praetorians are former members of SAS and Mossad. Given the high probability they're Class II clones, that's likely a cover story, though they certainly have the skills to match it.
331	* FinalBoss: They're the final obstacle standing between Agent 47 and Travis.
332	* {{Foil}}: While 47 is the ultimate assassin, these guys are the ultimate bodyguards, as befitting their name.
333	* InterestingSituationDuel: Besides their enhanced senses, very high health and significantly enhanced damage output, you also face them inside a maze of laser tripmines between the tombstones of a cemetery.
334	* KungFuProofMook: Like the game's other EliteMooks, they can deflect a barehanded melee attack, though a second follow up attack will still take them out.
335	* MadeOfIron: They're the most durable enemies in the game, each one requiring over 20 assault rifle shots or 12 silverballer shots to bring down. They can even survive a silverballer pistol headshot at long range.
336	* NoSell: Disguises won't work on them as they've been instructed to shoot anyone they see approaching Travis' hidey hole. They'll also spot you ''considerably'' faster than regular enemies, even from long range.
337	* PraetorianGuard: It's even in their name. They're the most elite of EliteMooks, being the most durable enemies in the game as well as dealing significantly enhanced damage (a single shot from them takes off 30% of your health on Normal difficulty and 50% of your health on Hard or higher, compared to just 4% of your health for regular assault-rifle wielding enemies). They can also partially resist barehanded melee attacks and also have ''much'' sharper senses and reaction times compared to regular Mooks and are constantly scanning left and right while patrolling instead of merely looking straight ahead like regular enemies do.
338	* SuperSoldier: Their almost identical appearance and the fact that all three of them are albinos subtly implies they're Class II clones, which would account for their enhanced abilities compared to regular enemies.
339	* ThemeNaming: They are elite bodyguards whose names are Jack '''Aegis''', John '''Hoplon''' and Carey '''Scutum''', which are all different types of shields.
