Agent Stone (Left) and Knight (Right)

Appearances: Hitman 2 | Hitman 3 (Stone is mentioned) | Hitman Sniper: The Shadows

Voiced By: Ina Marie Smith (Knight), Osy Ikhile (Stone)

The main characters of the Hitman 2 Sniper Assassin mode when played in co-op. Knight is a mercenary sniper who's often paired up with Stone, an ex-con out of prison that has serious agent potential. Diana is trying to convince Stone to join the ranks of the ICA, and is keeping an eye on him, though Knight has not been approached with a offer herself due to her age and record.


  • The Ace: They're both brilliant snipers, almost on the level of the legendary 47.
  • Affably Evil: In contrast to the reticent 47, Knight and Stone often engage in friendly banter and communicate well with one another.
  • And Now for Someone Completely Different: They are the first and currently only time when 47 is not the Player Character, though only in Sniper Assassin's co-op mode. This would continue with Hitman Sniper: The Shadows, where 47 is outright M.I.A..
  • Ascended Extra: They are the main characters of Hitman Sniper: The Shadows, with Knight in particular serving as the starting character being able to do headshots in an AOE, but has limited upgradability. Alongside four other members, they are collectively known as "Initiative 426", meaning they do become members of the ICA as an elite sniping unit... for the time being at least.
  • Awesome Mc Cool Name: Knight admits that Captain "Spider Lily" Thak is a cool nickname to have.
  • Cold Sniper: Despite being friendly to one another, they're still fearsome foes on the battlefield, ready to murder anyone in their way.
  • Cool Shades: Knight wears some pilot sunglasses by default, but does remove them in Siberia.
  • Continuity Nod: Stone is mentioned by a pair of NPC's in Hitman 3's Mendoza level after one of them asks to covertly hire him, now that The ICA is no longer around, strongly implying Stone got work as a mercenary for hire.
  • Crazy Survivalist: Knight's family - not to any extreme degree and Knight doesn't like that Stone calls them 'preppers', but in the Himmelstein mission they can talk about the fact that she apparently did spend most of her childhood living in the wild.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: Stone was sent to prison for a few years because of an illegal family business he had no knowledge of.
  • Deadpan Snarker: They're far more snarky and snappy than 47, making frequent quips during the briefings. That said, that isn't a high bar to reach, considering 47 is usually a Silent Protagonist unless circumstances require him to speak.
  • Doomed by Canon: The reason they're playable characters in Hitman 2 is that sniper missions are used as induction tests into the ICA, and the The Shadows mobile game has them become part of a proper sniper unit; Initiative 426, officially becoming ICA agents in the process. However, the events of Hitman 3 means that their time with the ICA is going to be short-lived, as 47 and Olivia whistleblow the entire organisation, and in turn outing all the agents, contractors and people killed as part of a data leak to the public. As 47 exposing the ICA to the public is a future canonical event in the series' timeline, there is nothing that can be done to prevent this. While this is by no means a failure for 47, the same can't be said for Knight and Stone, and Initiative 426 as a whole.
  • Foil: Personality wise, they're the polar opposite of 47. They're far more lively, prone to banter, and playful with one another. They also are more willing to get their hands dirty, while 47 only deals with stealthy assassinations.
  • Foregone Conclusion: Due to the events of Hitman 3, The ICA will be taken down by 47 and Olivia, with all the files leaked online, so their time with the agency is going to be brief.
  • Limited Wardrobe: They are only seen wearing either their normal getup or snow coats when in Siberia.
  • Noodle Incident: Their idle chatter in Himmelstein suggests that it's not the first time they've been to a wedding together on a mission, though neither elaborate too much (Stone really doesn't want to remember), but it involved a drug war, explosives, Stone killing the gang with a shotgun and Knight disguising as a priest while still carrying a pistol.
  • Pointless Bandaid: Stone has one on his nose.
  • Put on a Bus: Due to the removal of the Sniper Assassin coop mode in Hitman 3, they are no longer playable in the levels imported from Hitman 2.
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: Stone is calm and professional (or tries to be), Knight is more happy-go-lucky and relaxed.
  • Scary Black Man: Stone is dark skinned and one of the most dangerous snipers that the ICA has to offer. He's also very calm and professional, fulfilling the trope in a different way than usual.
  • Straight Man and Wise Guy: Stone is a no-nonsense professional that tries to get the job done without causing attention, Knight on the other hand is more likely to crack a joke, is far more relaxed, and actively enjoys causing chaos.
  • The Smurfette Principle: Agent Knight is currently one of a few women to have been revealed as an ICA agent, and one of two to be playable (Soji from The Shadows being the other one).
  • Those Two Guys: They engage in banter while taking out the targets.
  • Terse Talker: Stone talks quite huskily and slowly to contrast with Knight being quite peppy and talkative.
  • What Happened to the Mouse?: It's unclear as of yet what happened to the two of them after the ICA's dealings were leaked to the public, as they would almost certainly be in their database. While Mendoza confirms Stone get's work as a mercenary for hire, It's unknown what happens to Knight, and whether she was arrested, killed, or simply able to flee from any antagonists.

    Alma Reynard 

Alma Reynard

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/20181111173102_1.jpg
"Best of luck, Mr Donovan! We thank you for your sacrifice."

Voiced By: Norah Lopez Holden (English)

An anti-establishment freelance assassin working as one of the Shadow Client's militia's top lieutenants. She and the rest of her team are currently laying low in her mansion in Hawke's Bay, New Zealand.


  • Blood Knight: She loves her job so much that she expresses disappointment in how the Shadow Client dislikes collateral damage.
  • Chekhov's Gunman: Mentioned various times in "Freedom Fighters" in the first game before being the first target of Hitman 2.
  • Dark Is Evil: Alma first appears wearing a black dress and she's definitely not a nice woman.
  • Early-Bird Cameo:
    • She's the recipient of a call from Sean Rose during the Freedom Fighters mission of Hitman (2016), where Sean complains about having to work with Maya Parvati and states his desire to boot her out of the militia.
    • In the same mission she can be mentioned by some of the militia members, who wonder why she doesn't operate out of here. One will reply that Reynard is more of a lone operator than a team player.
  • Eco-Terrorist: She's wanted for multiple counts of eco-terrorism.
  • Even Evil Has Loved Ones:
    • Alma has a daughter named Mercedes, who lives with her sister Celia. She is shown to care about them very much.
    • Averted with her two boyfriends, as it's said that she falls in love quickly and loses interest just as fast.
  • Evil Parents Want Good Kids: Implied. Alma sent her daughter Mercedes to live with Alma's sister Celia and inquiries into Mercedes's school activities in a phone call. The name Mercedes also means and can be shortened to Mercy.
  • Faux Affably Evil: Best shown when she calmly instructs a man she's blackmailing to murder his boss or face having his family killed.
  • Femme Fatale: Wears a black Sexy Slit Dress and has an alluring husky voice, while also being a sociopathic manipulator, spy and assassin.
  • Fluffy Tamer: Has some sort of off-screen monster dog named Maximillien reputed to devour nearby sheep (and car tires) who, fortunately, seems to have escaped by the time 47 gets to Reynard's house. She mentions that the house security system has to be turned off because it keeps identifying Max as an intruder.
  • Foil: To 47. Whereas 47 only cares about the contract, Reynard is very clearly ideologically driven. 47 prefers to act alone and with minimal collateral damage while Reynard has an entire team of mercenaries with her and only avoids collateral damage when ordered to (and is not above forcing innocent people to do her dirty work for her by kidnapping their families as leverage). And while 47 is shown to live an extremely spartan lifestyle apart from his expensive suits, Reynard has a literal mansion as a safe house.
  • I Have Your Wife: She has Lance Donovan's wife and daughters kidnapped to goad him into murdering his boss.
  • Kill and Replace: There's the dead bodies of a man and woman in her garage, who Diana theorizes are people Reynard is planning on impersonating, much like 47. Diana expresses a moment of sympathy for the victims before telling 47 to move on. Background chatter suggests that she only intended on sedating them until the man ripped off Reynard's mask during a struggle.
  • Missing Mom: Is this to her daughter Mercedes.
  • One-Steve Limit: Averted with her title of "The Mastermind", which was also given to Dalia Margolis.
  • Replacement Goldfish: She teases her current boyfriend Orson by calling him "Sean 2" or "Sean Lite" when the latter gets a pique of jealousy.
  • Slain in Their Sleep: Two challenges require her to be asleep before being killed. She's also at her most vulnerable when asleep, as only Orson is in the same room and he is also asleep.
  • The Sociopath: Her intel profile describes her as "completely void of sentimentality" and claims that she is "quick to fall in love but grows bored even faster", both classic symptoms of psychopathy. Possibly subverted, seeing that she genuinely loves her daughter.
  • Soft-Spoken Sadist: She speaks very softly and never raises her voice and is also a ruthless terrorist who often targets civilians and seems to enjoy creating collateral damage.
  • Too Dumb to Live: She didn't leave even a single guard behind to guard her safehouse, which enables 47 to break into her home and steal some really important information used later in the story. 47 can also use this opportunity to tamper with her home.
  • Villainous Valour: If held at gunpoint, Reynard will refuse to beg, only asking for 47's client.
  • Vorpal Pillow: Can be smothered to death using one.
  • Western Terrorists: Comes with being a part of the Shadow Client's militia.
  • Worf Had the Flu: When you come for her, it's the middle of the night and she's unarmed, which accounts for why a hardened, psychopathic assassin/terrorist is completely unable to resist if you confront her openly.
  • Would Hurt a Child: Implied. She was stated to be pretty sincere while dealing with Donovan that his slightest mistakes will get his daughters killed. Background chatter also implies she has done this a few times.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/20181109024349_1.jpg
"I will have my revenge. One day, I will meet the man who killed my uncle and blood will be spilled one final time."

Voiced By: Ronan Summers (English)

The ruthless and sociopathic leader of the Delgado Cartel, one of the most dangerous drug cartels in the world. He is currently helping the Shadow Client smuggle his troops across in exchange for information about the assassination of his uncle, Don Fernando Delgado.


  • Affably Evil: He always acts cordial and polite with people provided they meet their expectations and is generally a nice boss. He's generally regarded as a man that will shower a man with compliments while shooting another man to death right in front of him.
  • Angry, Angry Hippos: He keeps a hippopotamus called El Mijo as a pet and feeds it dead bodies of his enemies. Appropriately, 47 can feed him to the hippo to kill him. Constantly feeding it bodies has caused the animal to develop a carnivorous diet to the point it refuses to eat anything else.
  • An Offer You Can't Refuse: He's apparently fond of offering people a choice between silver and lead. You can easily guess what he's referring to.
  • Batter Up!: Rico keeps a baseball bat in his private museum, it was apparently his weapon during his teen years as a Moreno enforcer.
  • Beard of Evil: He has a subtle beard and is an incredibly evil man.
  • Bling-Bling-BANG! Rico keeps a unique golden Hand Cannon called "El Matador" in his safe.
  • Bullying a Dragon: Rico asked for the killer of his family's name in exchange for helping Grey. Grey, of course, knows any name is useless and would get Rico killed.
  • But for Me, It Was Tuesday: On the other end of this as 47 defined his life by killing his uncle and cousin. 47 is only killing him because he's a stepping stone to Grey.
  • Card-Carrying Villain: In his display room, Rico gloats about many of the crimes he has done, with pictures of his wanted poster and mugshot on full display.
  • The Cartel: Rico is the head of one.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: He and his brother grew up in the middle of the cartel. Just after he was chosen as his father's successor, the military attacked the compound he lived in, killing his father and traumatizing his mother. He moved in with his uncle and cousin in Chile until their death at the hands of 47. It's quite a rough childhood and goes a little way in explaining why he turned out how he did.
  • Death from Above: He can be crushed by his own statue or the spiky chandelier near his staircase.
  • Died in Ignorance: Rico helps Lucas Grey in the hopes of finding out who his uncle and cousin's killer, but gets assassinated before he can.
  • Disproportionate Retribution: Bringing him to the hippo enclosure when the hippo's not up twice or running ahead as he tells you the story about his uncle's watch and he will order you killed, with the whole mansion suddenly becoming a trespassing zone.
  • The Don: Rico rules the cartel and runs the Delgado cartel and Santa Fortuna with an iron fist.
  • The Dreaded: Nearly everyone in Santa Fortuna is terrified of the guy and with good reason.
  • Even Evil Has Loved Ones:
    • He cared for his uncle and cousin dearly and was clearly affected by their deaths. This probably contributed to how twisted he is now. In fact, one of the reasons why he works with the Shadow Client is that the Shadow Client promised to tell him the name of the one responsible for deaths of his uncle and cousin.
    • He also loves El Mijo, his pet hippo, to the point where he treasures him like a son.
  • Fat Bastard: While he's not as big as other overweight targets, Rico's got a noticable gut underneath his jacket. Fitting for a slovenly crime boss who makes his money off of the drug trade.
  • Genre Savvy: If 47 impersonates P-Power and meets Rico, the latter will be suspicious and point out that 47 doesn't look like the P-Power from television, especially his cheekbones. Fortunately for 47, Rico's starstruck wife manages to convince Rico that the discrepancy is due to TV post-production, which 47 goes along with.
  • Happily Married: Despite the occasional quarrel between the two of them, Rico and his wife Catalina seem to be on good terms, with Rico going as far as to fix a tattoo of her on his neck.
  • History Repeats: Just like his uncle and cousin, he's assassinated in his compound by 47.
  • Hoist by His Own Petard: One of the methods to kill him is to feed him to his own pet hippo, which he used to execute his enemies or people who upset him.
  • It's All About Me: Rico has commissioned a golden statue of himself to be placed on top of a ledge overlooking the town square. While unveiling it, he claims it is meant to "inspire" people to "become as [him]".
  • Karmic Death: Rico can be crushed with his own statue or fed to the pet hippo he uses to dispose bodies.
  • Lack of Empathy: Rico doesn't show the slightest bit of remorse when he mentions the horrible things he has done. He speaks of things such as murdering his boss and feeding someone to hippos as something that isn't wrong in any way.
  • Naïve Animal Lover: He's convinced that he tamed and adopted a wild hippo, even calling it "El Mijo". In actuality, he's forcing the animal to be solitary (when Hippos live in herds), turning it into a carnivorous maneater (even though hippos are generally herbivores and rarely eat meat), and forgetting that hippos are notoriously aggressive as they show no loyalty to anything that isn't a hippo. So it shouldn't be surprising that if Rico is pushed into the enclosure, the hippo wastes no time killing Rico as the latter frantically tries to say "NO! NO! MIJO! IT'S PAPA!"
  • No Historical Figures Were Harmed: He's quite obviously based on Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar, down to living in a sheltered compound and having a pet hippo.
  • Sibling Yin-Yang: In the first Hitman game, Dalia Margolis mentions "the nice one" and "the psychotic one" when discussing the Delgado brothers. Both brothers are actually violent gangsters, though Rico is able to maintain a Faux Affably Evil veneer as long as you don't displease him, but is quick to impose brutal punishments upon those who fail or oppose him. Hèctor is more sentimental and less domineering, but also openly emotionally unstable and described by the mansion staff as "batshit crazy".
  • Sinister Shades: Like Franco, he wears sunglasses, and is by far the most despicable out of the three targets in the level.
  • The Starscream: Rico was originally an enforcer for the Moreno cartel when he was young, until one day he decided to kill his boss and go into the business for himself, eventually becoming the Moreno's chief rival.
  • The Sociopath: He’s described as being one in his introduction. It's not hard to see why.
    • Possibly subverted. He does seem to love his uncle and cousin, as well as his hippo.
  • Soft-Spoken Sadist: Best known in the interrogation tape in his Torture Cellar, where his soft tone never changes even as he tortures Oscar Wong.
  • Tattooed Crook: He has a tattoo of his wife on his neck, though she thinks the likeness leaves something to be desired.
  • Tempting Fate: During his tattoo, he tells 47 to do what he does best. 47 can choose to honor this request.
  • Too Dumb to Live: Even if it's supposedly on its safety limits, standing in front of a submarine while insisting that your technician should crank the power up to the maximum doesn't seem like such a good idea.
  • You Have Failed Me:
    • Fresh bullet holes and blood stains in Rico's bedroom being cleaned by the mansion staff suggest he has a habit of shooting employees who displease him. To back this up, there is a blindfolded, freshly-dead corpse of a mansion bodyguard lying near the waterfall close to the construction site.
    • This can happen if 47 disobeys his orders while disguised as P-Powers or the submarine mechanic, thus turning the entire map into a hostile area.

    Jorge Franco

"As it should be obvious to anyone, once this magnificent piece of machinery is up and running, productivity will explode! It will be a brave new world, heh heh!"

Voiced By: James Goode (English)

The Delgado Cartel's top chemist, who has recently developed a form of "super cocaine".


  • Abusive Parents: Jorge's father was physically abusive and severely impacted his childhood.
  • Bad Boss: He fires his entire drug staff once he gets his machine running.
  • Bunny-Ears Lawyer: His unstable nature aside, he's a master chemist and horticulturalist who has developed a superb variant of cocaine.
  • Comic-Book Fantasy Casting: Franco appears to be designed after Stan Lee, down to his goatee and aviators.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: Jorge had an abusive father, was forced to immigrate to another country in his teens, and got caught up with some dangerous criminals. According to the intel gathered on him, he also has PTSD caused by 47's assassination of Fernando Delgado.
  • Disappeared Dad: His abusive father, who was connected with the Soviets, was taken away and presumably killed during the reign of Pinochet. He also left his wife and child in the US when he went back to Chile.
  • Driven to Suicide: An interesting example in that if a bloodied cocaine brick is placed where the souvenir should be, he'll run off a nearby cliff.
  • Evil Genius: Jorge is extremely good at manufacturing drugs and gathering plants that can be used to do this. His drugs are said to be of very high quality.
  • Evil Old Folks: He's a master chemist for a drug cartel who is well into his 50s.
  • Expy: According to his bio, he's a former high school chemistry teacher and family man. Combined with his obsession with making the very best product, it's not hard to see the similarities to Walter White.
  • I Can't Reach It: He struggles to pick a plant sample up from a cliff even after jumping, even though he's only about a feet shorter than it and is surrounded by two guards who would be able to pick it off easily. Though its likely that being hunch-backed doesn't help.
  • "It" Is Dehumanizing: Refers to his workers this way and holds most of them (bar his pilot) in contempt.
  • Job-Stealing Robot: Immediately after his cocaine machine is fixed, he fires his drug workers.
  • Karmic Death: He can be pushed in his own cocaine machine after laying his employees off. This leads to some black comedy, as some cocaine comes out mixed with his skin, giving it a very red color.
  • Royal "We": A non-royalty version. He refers to himself as "we" or "our" at all times, as if he's reading his thoughts out loud. The only time he uses "you" is towards his plants.
  • Sinister Shades: He wears sunglasses and is the head drug manufacturer for the Delgado cartel.
  • Trapped by Gambling Debts: He left the US after owing a substantial amount of money to a local gangster due to bad bets and is implied to still lapse into this from time to time. This is also how he got mixed in with the Delgados, as Fernando waived all debts in exchange for work as a chemist.
  • Parental Abandonment: It's mentioned that he left his wife and child to fend for themselves in America.
  • The Perfectionist: Franco insists on 100% purity of his product and has vetoed some of Rico's suggestions for smuggling techniques (such as mixing it with paint in artwork then reconstituting it after customs) on the logic that it would ruin it.

Hitman (2016) appearance

"The government takes an unfair advantage in our work as we have refused to play ball and hand out bribes, hence we need to keep this one off the books."

Voiced By: Colleen O'Shaughnessey (English, 2016), Yolanda Kettle (English, 2)

The "face" of the Delgado Cartel, in charge of striking deals that allow them to expand their operations.


  • Affably Evil: Of the three targets, she's the most personable, especially towards her assistant. Justified, since being pleasant is a good quality for somebody involved in PR and negotiations, even if their intentions are bad.
  • Beauty Is Bad: She's incredibly good looking and she knows it, something she uses to hide her more sinister side from her victims.
  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Beautiful, charismatic and sociable are all words that sum her up, but she is far from the Token Good Teammate she purports herself to be.
  • Blatant Lies: She claims at the opening ceremony that she is helping the village to oppose the corruption in the Colombian government. She's actually part of the cause of the problems the village is facing.
  • Corrupt Corporate Executive: Is less interested in the drug trade than building a chemical plant in the middle of a Colombian rainforest despite the lack of local infrastructure.
  • Cruel and Unusual Death: Getting fed to Piranhas is not a pleasant way to go.
  • Didn't Think This Through: A lot of the problems her construction is facing are due to the fact there's no reason to build a chemical plant in the middle of nowhere other than that the local drug lord is financing it.
  • Early-Bird Cameo: She was one of the guests at the IAGO auction in the previous game, something explicitly noted by both the Sheikh and Hèctor Delgado in Miami.
  • The Face: Her title and role are both this word-for-word.
  • Navel-Deep Neckline: Her top has an opening in the front that plunges from neck to navel.
  • Never Suicide: Can be enacted by pushing her off her balcony after Héctor gives her his letter, causing him to assume it drove her to suicide.
  • Rich Bitch: Described as "hyper-luxurious" by one of the mansion bodyguards, something which is made clear by her treatment of the village's residents.
  • Reasonable Authority Figure: When talking to the construction foreman, she notices that he put in requests for overtime pay despite the locals holding up construction for a week. When he explains the overtime is for the foreign contractors making the sensitive drug equipment to compensate for the shutdown, she's impressed with his ingenuity and approves the requests.
  • Remember the New Guy?: She's the adopted daughter of Fernando Delgado, despite not being mentioned once in his briefing.
  • Slumming It: In contrast to Rico, she lives in one of the village's larger houses. Though she will frequently complain about her surroundings and the people when walking around. Dialogue from the mansions' guards suggest that she only lives there to be away from Hèctor and that she dislikes staying there for too long.
  • Surrounded by Idiots: What she thinks of everyone around her, essentially.
  • Visionary Villain: Wants to help build Santa Fortuna into an actual community.
  • Working with the Ex: She and Hèctor Delgado used to be in a relationship, which ended after he had an affair with two twins. If she reads Héctor's letters, she'll positively reminisce on the relationship but ultimately determines that he is far too volatile to consider dating him again.
  • You Don't Look Like You: Her appearance in Hitman (2016) looks a bit different in comparison to her appearance in Colombia, though her old face does bear a passing resemblance to her new face in Hitman 2. As some nice foreshadowing, her model for Paris is updated in the Hitman (2016) Legacy Pack for Hitman 2. The old model is still in the game, now being used in the Yacht level as part of the tutorial.

Click here to reveal his identity (Spoilers!) 
"The tides are changing, my friend. Can you feel it in the air?"

Voiced By: Stewart Scudamore (English)

An infamous pirate and crime lord who once terrorized the South China Sea, now one of the Shadow Client's top lieutenants.


  • Affably Evil: He’s very polite and friendly, despite being a ruthless pirate.
  • Amicable Exes: He gets along well with his ex-girlfriend and assigns some of his minions to protect her.
  • Ax-Crazy: Isn't this anymore, strictly speaking, but it's clear that he's been this at certain points in his life.
    • One of many theories about his past is that he was responsible for burning down a shed full of many of the first generation of Crows, who were just children at the time. Horrifyingly enough, this theory is correct.
    • The same raid on a Hamsun Oil freighter that cost Maya Parvati her arm also cost Kale his sanity, and he more or less went on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge against the West before joining Grey's militia and returning to his senses.
  • Beard of Evil: Sports this in most of his disguises.
  • Contractual Boss Immunity: His loop takes him into an alley with four different tea stands 47 can serve from. He only accepts drinks from his favorite one, which is randomized upon each playthrough. The tea stand he drinks from corresponds with the color the Moja Tea commercial that plays in the level is.
  • Devil in Plain Sight: He can frequently be seen wandering the slums, a notorious pirate roaming amongst the average Indian citizens.
  • Disappointed in You: If 47 meets him as the Kashmirian after taking advantage of Rangan and Shah's contracts on each other to eliminate them both, Kale expresses his shame at what monsters his former companions became after returning to Mumbai.
  • The Don: One of three in Mumbai.
  • The Dragon: During the mission briefing, Diana refers to him as the Shadow Client's top lieutenant. He is also seemingly the only target associated with the militia to know the Shadow Client's real name/preferred alias. His Vagueness Is Coming speech also seems to indicate he has a more concrete understanding of the Shadow Client's ultimate goal compared to Sean Rose.
  • Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Has some of his men guard the home of an ex-girlfriend while he is in Mumbai and takes the time to visit the house that the two built together. He gets upset when she feels his criminal activities would make it hard to love him again.
  • Evil Sounds Deep: A pirate turned crime lord with a very deep voice.
  • The Faceless: In the briefing, we don't know what he looks like, but after you identify him, Diana will mark your intel as discovering his identity. If you also load a save after identifying him, Diana will somehow know what he looks like with a shaved beard, even if you haven't shaved off his beard yet.
  • Figure It Out Yourself: If you don't want to search for a proper identification of him you can easily identify him from the other generic NPC's by finding out when he's going to visit his hideout or base, lying in wait before he disappears into the crowds again.
  • Foreshadowing: He was mentioned in Hitman (2016) as Maya Parvati's partner during her pirate days and by one of the scientists working on Ether's virus as a potential person to kill with it.
  • Good Scars, Evil Scars: The one element that remains absolutely consistent across his multiple possible appearances is a scar running across his face.
  • Hidden in Plain Sight: He's blending in with the civilians, the only target in the mission to not be secluded in an area inaccessible to 47 in a suit. As his current appearance is unknown to the ICA, however, part of the mission involves identifying him in the crowd.
  • Master of Disguise: No one outside of his circle knows what he looks like, including the ICA. He starts the mission blending in in the slums, and will only change into his clothes during mission stories.
  • Meaningful Name: "Wazir Kale" translates roughly to "dark vizier" in Hindi; fitting for Grey's murderous right-hand man.
    • Kale also has a Meaningful Alias. In the briefing for "Chasing a Ghost", a Colombian ID card used by Kale appears. The registered name is "Alejandro Jefe", jefe meaning "boss" in Spanish. If one reads into it a bit more, the first name may have been chosen in reference to the Conqueror of the same name.
  • Mega Maelstrom: Named after the trope and a lot of his dialog (such as his image quote) is referencing the phenomenon in a "winds of change" sort of way.
  • Modest Royalty: Compared to Shah's makeshift palace in the train yard and Rangan's modern tower, Kale's hideout is a grimy back-alley building, and the room he meets guests in is downright spartan.
  • Morality Chain: It's implied the Shadow Client's cause has helped him regain his former idealism.
  • My Greatest Failure: He finally bit off more than he could chew when he and his crew hijacked the Frances King supertanker: the tanker was stormed by Chinese special forces that proceeded to wipe out the pirates, with Kale narrowly escaping.
  • Nice to the Waiter: In keeping with his Affably Evil persona, if 47 shaves him as the barber without killing him, he will leave double the tip of any other customer. Zigzagged, however, as the actual barber is afraid of him; one of 47's other potential customers mentions having seen the barber being led blindfolded into the Maelstrom's hideout - presumably to be pressured into spying for him.
  • Nom de Guerre: "The Maelstrom" is his.
  • Only Sane Man: Unlike Rangan or Shah, Kale is able to act rationally and keep up his facade without causing needless deaths or making himself absolutely loathed by everyone around him.
  • Recurring Boss Template: Has the same gimmick as "The Fugitive" elusive target from 2016. He's a target that's randomly selected from a pool of potential people in the mission and must be identified first to avoid non-target kills.
  • Red Baron: He's widely known as "The Maelstrom".
  • Ruthless Modern Pirates: A legendary one.
  • Shrouded in Myth: His entire personal history, from his days as a youth running the Crows to his pirate career, is full of rumors and speculation. There are even those who believe he never existed or that he was somehow recruited into becoming a spy for the British government.
  • Slave to PR: His legend kept growing until it was completely out of control: not only was he was he forced to commit more and more daring heists to keep his reputation but his own crew kept getting more and more reckless believing the Maelstrom would protect them.
  • The Spook: He's so secretive that a significant part of the mission involves confirming his current appearance.
  • Start of Darkness: The Crows were once little more than a glorified group of street kids - and Kale little more than their respected teenage leader - until Mumbai mobsters, surprisingly enough, paid good on their end of their "protection" deals. After taking a severe beating from them and watching them fail to, unlike him, summon the courage to burn down a shed of Crows, he joined the mob and tore it apart from the inside without mercy.
  • That Man Is Dead: After the attempted hijacking of the Frances King supertanker left the majority of his crew dead, he emerged as a much darker figure obsessed only with destruction. His intel profile even claims that Wazir Kale died and only the Maelstrom remained. Meeting him in person, especially if pursuing the "Flames Rekindled" Mission Story, seems to suggest he has gotten over it though.
  • They Look Just Like Everyone Else!: When you finally meet him, he looks a lot more like a regular civilian than most targets due to his mostly randomized appearance.
  • Unlimited Wardrobe: As part of keeping his identity secret, his appearance and hairstyle will always be randomized upon starting the mission. He will change into his signature outfit when meeting Rangan, Shah, or his ex.
  • Vagueness Is Coming: He will give a speech about a coming great change to either his former lover or 47 while the latter is impersonating a barber.
  • Villainous Valour: Will defiantly rant at 47 if held at gunpoint.
  • You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: The Maelstrom intends on eliminating Dawood and Shah when he gets the chance, considering them to have lost their way and are thus becoming unpredictable.

The self-appointed Queen of the slums of Mumbai and one of Wazir Kale's lieutenants


  • Broken Pedestal: Holds Kale in contempt for the failed Frances King hijacking, where witnessing her crewmates die and being cast aside afterwards took a heavy toll on her mental state.
  • Call-Back: If held at gunpoint, she will question the void of power 47 leaves behind, a similar concern to that of Lucas Grey, who mentions this very idea in the "Legacy" cinematic.
  • The Caligula: An utterly ruthless "ruler". If you infiltrate her headquarters disguised as the tailor, you'll learn that she's had every previous tailor killed due to dissatisfaction with their work.
  • Deadly Bath:
    • One way of killing her involves overriding the pressure lock while she bathes in her faulty meditation pond, causing an explosion, or tossing a car battery into it.
    • You can also drown her in a bowl of water as she washes her face in it.
  • Death by Materialism: Many of the ways to kill her involve expensive items that she owns.
  • Death from Above: She can be crushed by one of her bird cages as she walks underneath it.
  • The Don: One of three in Mumbai.
  • Disproportionate Retribution: She's had several tailors killed because they did not make a dress to her liking.
  • Enemy Civil War: She has put a hit on Dawood Rangan in order to seize more power for herself.
  • Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Vanya treats her assistant Rima like family, to the point of the latter sharing her surname. She was close to Maya Parvati, being left a large inheritance in her will.
  • Freudian Excuse: Her overt hedonism and cruelty seems to stem from PTSD as a result of witnessing her crewmates be slaughtered during the Frances King hijacking, which she holds Kale accountable for.
  • From Nobody to Nightmare: Vanya came from a dacoity (Indian bandits) background and quickly rose her way through the ranks before owning a majority of the Mumbai slums.
  • God Save Us from the Queen!: She acts like she's genuine royalty, down to holding audiences with "commoners" and having her own impeccably dressed "royal guards".
  • The Hedonist: She tries to live like a queen and surrounds herself with expensive items and food to reinforce her sense of power. Though its suggested that most of it is an attempt to hide the trauma caused by the failed ship hijacking she took part in.
  • High-Voltage Death: She can be electrocuted when she's relaxing in her personal bath.
  • Karmic Death:
    • One method of killing her involves disguising as a tailor and strangling her with measuring tape, after she had executed every previous tailor for failing to meet her expectations.
    • She can be kicked off the bridge as she scolds the laundry workers.
  • Kick the Dog: Turns down a single mother who wants water and electricity for her kids because she can't do anything for her.
  • King of the Homeless: She rules over the slums as the local crimelord through her control of the water and electricity supply.
  • Mean Boss: Disposed of her laundry business' previous foreman because he gave the workers too many breaks.
  • Meaningful Name: Shah is the Persian word for king, befitting her role as King of the Homeless.
  • Narcissist: She has made herself the "Queen of The Slums" and clearly enjoys the power she has. She also believes that she deserves the best things in life and becomes murderous if she doesn't get her wishes.
  • The Queenpin: She's the local crimelord of the Mumbai slums, having control of the water and electricity supplies, alongside having informants around India and owning several shops.
  • Sanity Slippage: It's implied witnessing the death of most of her fellow crew during the Francis King incident shattered her mind, to the point that she cannot even remember how she got back to Mumbai after that.
  • Shell-Shocked Veteran: As a result of the failed Francis King hijacking.
  • The Smurfette Principle: She’s the only female member of the Maelstrom's crew and was a formidable pirate before her mental state and crew fell apart.
  • Tempting Fate: When Rima offers to sample her tea for poison, Vanya states that her enemies would likely try more direct approaches to eliminate her. She can be poisoned right after the tea is deemed safe to drink.
  • Villainous Friendship: She was close with Maya Parvati, who appears to have left her a large inheritance. When discussing said inheritance, Vanya will reminiscence about their time in the Maelstrom's pirate crew and the last time she saw Maya.

"If you ever take my place, if you ever think you can become bigger than Dawood Rangan, you're in for a world of hurt."

Voiced By: Sagar Arya (English)

A Bollywood producer and mobster partnered with Wazir Kale.


  • And Your Little Dog, Too!: If 47 is disguised as Gregory Arthur, he’ll take him to the top of his unfinished skyscraper and threaten to kill his wife, family and pets if he dares to steal his thunder.
  • Attention Whore: To the point he essentially hijacks a photo shoot for his film to have pictures of him taken since he’s the one who gets "top billing". He’ll also have a private meeting with 47 if he's disguised as the film's lead actor, in which he will threaten to murder his family should he try to steal his spotlight.
  • Asshole Victim: If he's killed while filming the final scene of his movie, the film crew are relieved and the director enthusiastically discusses using his death as part of the ending.
  • Bad Boss: He doesn’t treat his employees well. This includes setting up incredibly expensive movies, over-insuring them and then sabotaging them so he doesn't have to pay his employees.
  • Big Fun: Seems to be this at first, coming across as an eccentric and egotistical director. Then his true colors start showing...
  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: He tends to come across as a jovial if arrogant Boisterous Bruiser at first glance but if you displease him, he can get nasty real fast.
  • Casting Couch: He makes some coded advances on his lead actress Kharisma Hassan during the photo shoot (while having his hand on her ass the whole time) and unsubtly threatens her career when she turns him down. You learn from a phone call he makes that he's bribed a doctor to give Karisma's mother an illness so she can stay in India.
  • Copiously Credited Creator: In-Universe. He's the lead actor, producer and screenwriter for Mumbai Hero.
  • Corrupt Corporate Executive: The head of a filming company that he uses as a front for his criminal activities.
  • Cut Lex Luthor a Check: There's implications that, distasteful personality aside, he's actually a good filmmaker. Perhaps because he writes what he knows. However, he's such a crook that he often sabotages his own pictures just to make money off the insurance.
  • Dead Artists Are Better: Implied. In Hitman 2, it's stated that his movies are hardly known outside of India. In Hitman 3, his death is mentioned by a guard in the first level and his movies can be seen in various levels.
  • Disproportionate Retribution: Threatens to ruin Kharisma's career because she refused to kiss him.
  • The Don: One of three in Mumbai.
  • Enemy Civil War: He has put a hit on Vanya Shah in order to seize more power for himself.
  • Evil Is Petty: He's cheap enough to try and get out of paying for his latest art commission (a vanity piece exclusively for his own personal gallery, mind you) by offering to pay the artist in "exposure" instead. He also bribed a doctor into giving Kharisma's mother an illness just to make sure she works for him.
  • Fatal Method Acting: Killed during production of Mumbai Hero, for which he’s the lead actor, producer and screenwriter. For bonus points, some methods of assassinating him, such as dropping a camera rig on him or sabotaging a wind machine, involve killing him on set.
  • Fat Bastard: Overweight and an utter bastard.
  • Fixing the Game: Casually brags to an underling that he's rigged the outcome of a sporting event by "persuading" the home team's doctor to dope them to oblivion, while betting big on their opponents. This is after the underling admits that he'd bet on the home team.
  • Genre Savvy: Unlike other targets who try to intimidate/blackmail 47 in private, Rangan does so in full view of his bodyguards on a wide open skyscraper floor (after having him frisked one additional time just to be sure). And even if 47 manages to take Rangan out without being seen, his guards are instructed to not let 47 leave without Rangan personally telling them to do so, forcing 47 to make a stealthy escape.
  • Hate Sink: Dawood is sleazy, violent, sociopathic, narcissistic, cruel, traitorous and incredibly unpleasant. He’s one of the only targets who doesn't have at least one redeeming feature or mitigating factor, other than a slight comedic edge to him.
  • Hypocrite: In a phone call, he mocks Vanya for being egotistical enough to consider herself a queen. This coming from a man who plasters his ego everywhere.
  • It's All About Me: Believes that he’s the most important part of the movie and that everyone should bow down to him.
  • Jerkass: One of the biggest ones in the entire franchise.
  • Kick the Dog: Dawood is a huge fan of doing this. Aside from sabotaging his movie sets for insurance so he doesn't pay his employees, he brags about fixing a hockey game to one of his bodyguards, convinces a doctor to make Karisma's mother sick so she can't leave India, threatens to kidnap a man's child if he doesn't help promote his movie, regularly threatens his co-stars and drops a spy into concrete.
  • Large Ham: Dawood doesn't chew the scenery, he devours it.
  • Laughably Evil: He's an utter bastard, though he’s so despicable in his actions that he tends to chew the scenery whenever he appears. His pettiness and cruelty frequently dive into the realm of Black Comedy due to how frequent and extreme they are.
  • Light Is Not Good: Wears a white shirt and is an incredibly dangerous and petty man.
  • Meaningful Name: In addition to being a movie producer whose name ends with "wood", he also conveniently shares his first name with infamous Mumbai crimelord Dawood Ibrahim.
  • Mugging the Monster: Tries to threaten 47 when 47 is disguised as the lead actor of Dawood's film. Unknown to him, 47 is actually the most dangerous assassin in the world.
  • Narcissist: Dawood believes that he’s the most important person in the entire movie and lives in a mansion covered with pictures of himself. Diana's introduction of him in the level explicitly mentions his ego.
  • Pet the Dog: Subverted. He apparently donated a television to the slums, but it only broadcasted his films until it was hacked by one of the citizen's brothers.
  • Pride: His most obvious character trait.
  • Prima Donna Director: Aside from the fact he's deliberately sabotaged some of his films to profit from the insurance, Rangan's treatment of the film crew is abysmal. He's already made a few steps to make Kharisma stay in his grasp and will threaten to ruin her career for refusing to kiss him, and will privately tell Gregory Arthur (if 47 disguises as him) that if his popularity eclipses his, he will murder his family.
  • Rich Bastard: As wealthy as he is douchey.
  • Sinister Shades: Though he's a good deal more exuberant than many villains who wear them.
  • Small Name, Big Ego: Outside of India, Dawood is hardly known. This doesn't stop him from believing he is the greatest Bollywood producer in the world.
  • The Sociopath: He's described as one in his target biography and definitely doesn't seem to care about anyone other than himself.
  • Soft Water: Averted. One method of killing him involves sabotaging a giant special effects fan to blow him off his highrise tower. He ends up landing in the ocean, but the fall is high enough to definitively kill him.
  • Shame If Something Happened: States this to Kharisma during the photoshoot after she tells him about getting international roles, since he's paid a doctor to make her mother sick.
  • Villain with Good Publicity: It's implied that most of Mumbai see him as a talented filmmaker. However, there are those who know the truth about his extensive organized crime connections.
  • Wicked Pretentious: H wants his commissioned portrait to resemble "a cross between Picasso and Jackson Pollock." The two painters' styles were so dissimilar that one wonders if Dawood knows anything about either apart from their names.
  • Write What You Know: In-Universe. His films are all based on his old criminal exploits, with the most recent one even featuring a Vanya pastiche as the villain.

"What is she up to now? Huh? Why is she talking to that guy? I can't trust her. It's unbelievable."

Voiced By: Matthew Brenher (English)

The tyrannical CEO of Haven, a company operating out of the Maldives specialized in creating new identities for wealthy criminals and helping them disappear.


  • Body Horror: His skin is covered in nasty scars and scabs all over.
  • Crazy Jealous Guy: His standard routine has a point in which he uses binoculars to stalk Ljudmila, whom he was formerly in an intimate relationship with.
  • Dark Is Evil: He wears a black bathrobe and speedo and helps criminals get away with their crimes, no matter what they're responsible for.
  • Evil Genius: He's able to help people change their identities, something that is an impressive feat. Unfortunately, he offers his services to the scum of the earth, allowing them to continue their detestable actions.
  • Fan Disservice: A guy wearing a speedo who is both overweight and covered in scabs. Visiting him as the Doctor (or just letting the doctor have his appointment with Tyson) or fixing the jacuzzi will cause him to shed his robe, giving you a full view of his pus-ridden skin.
  • Freudian Excuse: Tyson came from a relatively ordinary background, only to end up going to jail for subduing a shoplifter who pulled a knife on him. This ended up completely breaking him and resulting in him turning to crime.
  • Gonk: His scab-filled skin and messy features make him appear rather hideous, especially compared to the attractive Bradley and Vetrova.
  • Had to Come to Prison to Be a Crook: His intel states he actually came from a pretty mundane background. Then he was jailed for aggravated assault (against a criminal who pulled a knife on him, making the charge questionable) and it went downhill from there.
  • Informed Attribute: For someone who's called a tyrant, his behavior during the level is rather tame. The worst he's seen doing is watching over Vetrova out of fear she'll betray him (which he's correct about) and firing his bodyguard for 47 if he's given his USB drive.
  • Jerkass: He's called a tyrant, and meeting him will show that the opinion is somewhat justified. It's unclear how much of this is of his own volition - listening to the Villa staff will reveal that in addition to his physical ailments, he is also suffering from some kind of mental degradation that is causing him to become aggressive. It's implied that Ljudmila may have spread the rumors in the first place, which, combined with his fear of relapsing and the stresses of managing Haven, causes him to become erratic and paranoid. His mood also seems to be swinging as he's much friendlier if 47 meets him disguised as the doctor or if he retrieves his USB.
  • Mean Boss: Played with. He is described by Diana as tyrannical while listening to some of his staff members and guards will show that they have sympathy for him. If 47 returns the stolen USB to him rather than handing it back to Vetrova, he will promptly fire his bodyguard. On the other hand, he will genuinely praise 47 for doing so and promotes him.
  • Pet the Dog: Has his nicer moments despite his mean-spirited personality, e.g. rewarding 47 for retrieving his USB.
  • Properly Paranoid: Correctly believes that Ljudmila is plotting against him.
  • Psycho Ex-Girlfriend: He's Ljudmila's ex-boyfriend and spends a significant amount of time watching her every move.
  • Sinister Shades: He wears sunglasses, which make him look even creepier than he would otherwise.
  • Sunglasses at Night: While him wearing his sunglasses in the inside of his villa can be justified with the sunshine outside and the many windows inside his mansion, he still wears them if he goes to his secret room or to the Elaborate Underground Base which are botch much darker.
  • Sympathy for the Devil: While he isn't the nicest boss and can be cruel at times some of his employees justify his mean-spirited moments with his current circumstances. Also, two of his guards on the balcony can be heard talking with one of them outright being worried that Tyson might die due to his illness.
  • You Have Failed Me: Non-lethal example. If you give him his stolen USB drive while disguised as a security guard, he'll fire his head of security/personal bodyguard for this reason and promote you to his place. This gives you a perfect opportunity to snuff him out.

Voiced By: Lance C. Fuller (English)

Haven's brilliant technical expert, who takes advantage of the widespread adoption of his universal login technology to further Haven's aims.


  • Affably Evil: He can be quite friendly to fellow fitness freaks and thrill seekers. Him and his bodyguard get on well and the two of them even work out together, and he treats Ljudmila well.
  • Bunny-Ears Lawyer: He's an obnoxious dudebro and a fantastic hacker.
  • The Cracker: Various Mission Stories connected to Ljudmila's plot to con both Tyson and himself rely on him breaking into a computer belonging to Jason Portman. Unfortunately, the entirety of his work is built upon a concept that was stolen from Portman, meaning he can't break through the firewalls of the latter's computer even with remote access into it, requiring Williams' USB drive.
  • Drives Like Crazy: His recklessness got his jet ski keys taken away. A mission story allows you to get them back to him. Killing him while he's riding the jet ski will count as an accident kill.
  • Evil Genius: He's a fantastic hacker who assists criminals in changing their identities.
  • The Hedonist: He enjoys living an extravagant lifestyle, enjoying life at it's fullest. This provides a myriad of ways to kill him.
  • Large Ham: He is explemely enthusiastic while working out, complete with talking in a Punctuated! For! Emphasis! way to motivate himself.
  • Lean and Mean: He's very skinny due to constantly working out, and is a criminal hacker.
  • Neck Snap: Apart from 47's standard execution methods, his neck can be crushed by having a barbell pushed onto it.
  • Not-So-Harmless Villain: Double Subverted. He seems to be a harmless goof, but before he escapes from Haven Island with Ljudmila, Steven plans to wipe out every database in the world, which would "nuke" hospital and criminal record in the process. Unfortunately for him, he's too incompetent a hacker to bypass Portman's security measures.
  • One-Hour Work Week: Bradley has automated nearly all aspects of his actual work so he pretty much spends all of his time working out or enjoying beach life. Truth in Television to an extent; in contrast to Hollywood Hacking, depending on the application a lot of real life programming is just waiting for automated computer processing to complete.
  • One-Steve Limit: Averted with his title of "The Bad Boy", which is also used on Bartholomew Argus, a 2016 elusive target.
  • Self-Made Man: He's gone from an aspiring programmer with big dreams to an immensely powerful hacker assisting dangerous criminals. It's safe to say he achieved the dream he'd been aiming for.
  • Tech Bro: He's the resident tech guy and cracker of Haven Island who spends most of his route working out at the gym and running laps of one of the islets, all the while wearing a "Hello, World" vest.
  • Two First Names: Both "Steven" and "Bradley" are forenames.
  • Unwitting Pawn: He's completely unaware of Vetrova's plan to ditch him for another man after they escape Haven, potentially making Bradley take the fall.

Appearances: Hitman 2

Voiced By: Elsie Bennett (English)

A ruthless con-woman and Haven's client handler, who helps the business by luring impressionable men into embarrassing situations that require Haven's services to erase.


  • Affably Evil: She's double-crossing Steven and Tyson and lives a life that charms impressionable men into doing wrongdoing. But boy is she charming when she does it.
  • Beauty Is Bad: She's beautiful and an extremely effective Con Man. Her looks help lure in gullible men who she proceeds to exploit or rob blind.
  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Her specialty as the con artist.
  • Character Narrator: Justified. The promotional footage for Haven Island uses her narrations for in-universe advertisements of the business.
  • Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: She's turned on Tyson and attempted to kill him, and intends on leaving Steven once she's left Haven.
  • Con Man: Well, con woman. She gains the trust of her victims and exploits this to get them to do her bidding. She's become incredibly good at doing this.
  • Death by Falling Over: One method of assassinating her involves dropping her less than 7 feet through a trapdoor into shallow water. She does kind of hit her head against the edge of the trapdoor on her way down (depending on ragdoll physics), but it still looks pretty incredulous.
  • Dude Magnet: She attracts the attention of many men, not limited to the two other targets at the resort.
  • Evil Brit: Despite being of Russian heritage, she has a sweet, melodious English accent that ominously narrates the Haven Island trailer. A private phone call reveals that it isn't her natural accent but she's grown so used to using it she forgets to use her normal voice.
  • Evil Genius: While she's not an expert businessman or science whiz, she's an incredibly astute and cunning woman who can play people like fiddles with little effort.
  • Evil Plan: She poisoned Tyson with the intent of killing him, resulting in his illness coming back, and promptly ditched him from Steven. She then hires a server farm employee to steal information on a USB drive, only to have 47 steal it back in exchange for a discount. After offering Jason Portman money in exchange for his stake in MuchTalk, she will attempt to remove him from his villa to access his computer. Once that's done, she'll meet with Steven to discuss using the information acquired to remove any global records of themselves from the internet. When she's alone, she'll then call a man named Pietro, whom she affectionately calls "darling", and tells him to meet her in Paris now that her plan is finished, outright calling Steven a patsy.
  • Failed a Spot Check: For a veteran con artist, she completely fails to realize that Steven had built his entire codebase with stolen pieces from Portman, the central figure in her plan to con Haven. As a result, Steven can't breach Portman's computer even with direct access and requires the USB Tyson has.
  • Manipulative Bitch: She can control people on a whim, something she utilises constantly due to her role as a Con Artist.
  • Navel-Deep Neckline: Her shirt has a deep v-shaped neckline that goes down to her navel.
  • Really Gets Around: She's been in an intimate relationship with Tyson and Steven, the two other targets in the mission. Her phone calls reveal she intends on leaving Steven for a man called Pietro.
  • Sensual Slavs: Downplayed, she's a charming Englishwoman of Russian heritage.
  • Sinister Shades: They obscure her eyes, making her seem mysterious and less trustworthy, a fitting look for a con artist.
  • The Smurfette Principle: She's the only woman in a powerful position at Haven Island.
  • The Starscream: She's trying to take over the business from Tyson, her boss and former lover.
  • Wrong Genre Savvy: She tries to recruit "Tobias Rieper's" skills as a thief in order to obtain a flash drive with important information on it. 47 can play along, but needless to say, is not interested in the reward she offers (a discount on the island's services) and has a different goal in mind.

  • Dark and Troubled Past: Her profile reveals that her entire family, who were nothing but loyal to Sun Po and Khandanyang, were unjustly incarcerated after they were falsely accused of being spies because of their Chinese heritage. Thak only escaped the same fate because Jin Noo took her in and proceeded to slowly transform her into a loyal and ruthless member of the state.
  • Evil Orphan: Was adopted by Jin Noo after he executed her parents and raised to be a part of the organization.
  • Evil Redhead: It's obviously dyed but it still counts.

  • Faux Action Girl: Her bio mentions that she appears to be a master martial artist, but in fact only knows flashy theatrical moves with little practical application in a real fight, as her primary role is propaganda, recruitment and intelligence gathering rather than actual combat. Like all assassination targets she has zero combat A.I., though since she's part of a Sniper Assassination mission this isn't really noticeable anyway.
  • Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Spider Lily has an unnerving aura to it, and it only scratches the surface of how dangerous she is.
  • The Smurfette Principle: The sole female member of the Heavenly Guard.

    Captain Lhom Kwai "Dragon Eye" 

Captain Lhom Kwai

The Dragon Eye

Voiced By: N/A

A Khandanyangan army captain.


  • Evil Makes You Ugly: Taking a bullet while defending a dictator caused him to lose an eye and severely disfigured his face, making him look as monstrous as his personality.
  • Eye Scream: While we never see what exactly transpired, what happened to his eye is not pretty.
  • Glass Eye: He has a solid gold eye as a prosthetic, a gift from Tren Po after he lost his original eye protecting Sun Po from a rebel attack.
  • Good Scars, Evil Scars: A State Sec officer with an absolutely nasty gash across his face and left eye.
  • Hate Sink: From selling out his own family to be executed to gleefully assisting a dictator in committing genocide, it's clear that Kwai is meant to be loathed, despite his limited characterization and lack of dialogue.
  • Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Dragon eye is a rather sinister nickname, fitting for a rather sinister man.
  • Obviously Evil: His burned face, gold eye and stature make him look like a hardcore Bond villain.
  • Psycho Supporter: He gleefully upholds the values of Sun Po and was willing to have his own parents executed because they stood against his values.
  • Self-Made Orphan: Sold his parents out to Khandanyang and personally watched their execution.
  • Taking the Bullet: How he got his signature scar.
  • Used to Be a Sweet Kid: He was once a normal child until he became exposed to Khandanyang propaganda, giving him a new purpose in life but turning him into a heartless monster.

    Colonel Jin Noo "The Blade" 

Colonel Jin Noo

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sniper_target_2.png
The Blade

Voiced By: N/A

A Khandanyangan army colonel.


  • Bald of Evil: A ruthless soldier without a hair on his head.
  • Beard of Evil: His goatee emphasizes his baldness and sinister personality.
  • The Determinator: Before running away, Jin Noo is more likely to attempt to execute the hostages with his sword.
  • Evil Is Petty: Knowing he's probably not going to make it out of the dockyard alive, he'll kill his hostages instead of just running away, a spiteful and malicious move that cements his reputation as a despicable man.
  • Evil Mentor: To Re Thak, being the one who re-conditioned her from a captured peasant girl to a brainwashed assassin.
  • Informed Ability: He's a sword-wielding special forces soldier who's described as a master close-quarters combatant who once personally eliminated an entire battalion of rebels with only 5 squadmates as backup. In-game he's scripted to execute the hostages with his sword if you're detected, but otherwise has no combat A.I. and will run away from you just like every other assassination target in the game. Granted, given that he's part of a Sniper Assassination mission there's not much he could do against you from a couple hundred meters away.
  • The Leader: He's the most powerful member out of the heavenly guard, supervising Kwai and Thak as they go about their tasks.
  • Names to Run Away from Really Fast: He's called The Blade. Guess what he uses to fight.
  • Never Bring a Knife to a Gun Fight: The expected happens when this master swordsman becomes the target of the master sniper 47.
  • Taking You with Me: If he's going to die, so will his hostages. This complicates things, as 47 has been specifically ordered to make sure they survive.

    Vitaly Reznikov 

Vitaly Reznikov

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vitaly_reznikov_hitman2.png

Voiced By: N/A

The corrupt warden of Perm-14.


  • Dirty Coward: Reznikov boards himself up in his office if a riot starts and will run off and abandon all his staff if his life is threatened. This is the same man that casually murders and orders the murders of inmates on a daily basis.
  • Karmic Death: If the guards are killed before the riot happens, he will get strangled by Khabko, the man he hired to do his dirty work that he was too cowardly to do, should the two cross paths.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Hanging on the map of his office is a pamphlet for HAVEN, suggesting that Reznikov would have used their services after receiving Khabko's bribe.
  • Wardens Are Evil: Not only having a mobster as an unofficial second-in-command, Reznikov allows violence and murder to happen every day in the prison facility.

    Roman Khabko 

Roman Khabko

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/khabco_hitman2.png

Voiced By: N/A

A notorious Ukranian mobster imprisoned at the Perm-14 prison facility in Siberia, and the second-in-command to Vitaly Reznikov.


  • Ax-Crazy: Not a minute into the level and he brutally murders another inmate. He will also strangle Reznikov during the riots.
  • The Can Kicked Him: He can be sniped while he's using the toilet.
  • Bald of Evil: A Russian Mafia member with no hair who's very fond of killing innocents.
  • Dented Iron: Even if Khabko is an extremely hardy man, he's more vulnerable to the elements due to his old age, hence the reason he decides to leave.
  • Evil Old Folks: He's well in his sixties and despite not being as powerful as he once was, he's still every bit as monstrous.
  • Exposed to the Elements: He's not wearing anything above the waist in the middle of a snowy tundra. Averted when being released as he changes into a dress shirt and blazer. Although if 47 destroys his spare clothes he'll be released shirtless.
  • Hate Sink: Khabko is a human trafficker, sex trafficker, gang leader and mass murderer who will slaughter anybody who so much as looks at him funny. He's such an odious bastard that his death is necessary in order to avoid a diplomatic scandal, despite clearly being past his prime.
  • Might as Well Not Be in Prison at All: Khabko is essentially the second-in-command to Reznikov and gets away with bribery and murdering inmates.
  • No Celebrities Were Harmed: He bears a resemblance to infamous Russian musician Stanislav Baretsky.
  • No Honor Among Thieves: Should their bodyguards be killed before them, Khabko will strangle Reznikov to death.
  • Screw the Rules, I Have Money!: He almost buys his way out of jail with ten million dollars. Unfortunately for him, 47 assassinates him before the transaction can occur.
  • Stout Strength: He has a substantial amount of muscle alongside a gut and can easily beat people to death.
  • There Is No Kill Like Overkill: Downplayed as he will throw a car battery at a prisoner he mortally wounds before stomping on his corpse.

Special Assignment Targets

    Dmitri Federov 

Dmitri Federov

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot1233.png

Voiced By: Unknown

Dmitri Federov is the former owner of an infamously unsafe fireworks factories in Russia. Recently, he got caught in an accident involving said fireworks and now he is being treated at the GAMA medical facility in Hokkaido, planning on fleeing to the Bahamas after he's allowed to leave the facility. The employees that survived the accident have collectively put in a contract with the ICA to kill him as retribution.


  • And Your Reward Is Clothes: Killing Federov nets you The Snow Festival Suit, a black parka snow coat that was first seen in the tutorial for both this game and Hitman 2016.
  • Bad Boss: Let's start with the fact he has firework factories that deliberately violate Russian safety laws to cut costs and when an accident did happen, he and his company didn't try to run any kind of compensation campaign to the many families affected by the 26 people who died in the same accident in any capacity.
  • Genre Savvy: If you try and electrocute him with the sink running, he'll refuse to go near it.
  • Insurance Fraud: While Dmitri was likely not intending for this to happen long-term, he plans to use the insurance money from the accident to retire to the Bahamas, directly taking advantage of the the lost lives of 26 others who were caught in the same accident and who didn't survive.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: He gets caught in an accident involving fireworks at one of his own factories. Even Diana labels it as "Poetic Justice".
  • Make It Look Like an Accident: He starts near the Restaurant and leans over a balcony... you can see where this going.
  • No OSHA Compliance: His firework factories, one of which he got blown up in.
  • Only Six Faces: He shares his face model (but not his hair) with some of the CICADA bodyguards.
  • Revenge by Proxy: Dmitri and his company didn't attempt compensating the other victims or their families after the accident. The few employees who did survive the explosion decided to collectively put a hit out on Dmitri as payback for what Dmitri has done to those who fell by his shoddy factory safety codes.
  • Temporary Online Content: Like with the "Holiday Hoarders" Christmas episode from Hitman 2016 that was added temporarily into this game, Dmitri Federov was only around until mid-February 2019.
  • The Voiceless: Played with, as while he does speak in a generic male NPC voice, Dmitri himself has no unique in-game dialogue specific to him or the mission. Even the "Holiday Hoarders" mission had Harry and Marv giggle or be frustrated at various events, so the lack of unique lines is quite noticeable.

    Basil Carnaby 

Basil Carnaby

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_2019_06_25_182321.png

Voiced By: Matthew Gravelle

A magician and hypnotist who brainwashed a number of wealthy victims in the 1960s into stealing for him, after which he went underground for decades until he was recently recognized in Mumbai by one of his former victims.


  • Affably Evil: He can be very friendly to people who he craves attention from or to people that have helped him hone his skills. That won't stop him from robbing innocent people blind without a care in the world.
  • Attention Whore: He loves to be in the spotlight, which makes it far more difficult to blend in to the slums of Mumbai. This alerts one of his old victims to his location, and finally puts an end to his 60 years of robbery.
  • Beard of Evil: What he lacks in morality, he makes up for with a pretty cool beard.
  • Evil Brit: A British guy who robs people blind. He also seems to have a voice similar to Malcolm McDowell.
  • Evil Old Folks: Carnaby's well into his senior years and he's still using hypnotics to rob people.
  • Fatal Flaw: Greed. It's noted in his bio that numerous people want him dead and he has enough money for a comfortable retirement, but he still wants more.
  • The Friend Nobody Likes: His neighbour despises him, despite Basil genuinely thinking the two of them are the best of friends.
  • Genre Savvy: When 47 proves not to be under Basil's influence, he makes sure to have 47 escorted from the premise, even if 47 avoids the meeting altogether.
  • Greed: Basil robs people just because he can. It proves to be his undoing.
  • Lack of Empathy: Basil has no problems with robbing others. He only cares about himself and things that benefit him.
  • No-Sell:
    • He appears to be familiar with his security entourage and the chawl's inhabitants, as he won't be fooled by 47's disguises.
    • Carnaby's mind tricks are completely ineffectual against the iron-willed 47.
  • Rags to Riches: Grew up in a working-class household before becoming a successful magician and crook.
  • Retirony: If he'd just quit while he was ahead, he would have escaped 47's crosshairs.
  • The Thing That Would Not Leave: Due to his craving for attention, he's made himself at home in his next door neighbour's apartment and seems keen to be best buddies with him. His neighbor is clearly exasperated by this, compounded by the fact Basil uses his hypnosis skills to stop him every time the neighbor tries to get rid of him.

    Blair Reddington 

Blair Reddington

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_2019_06_25_182131.png

Voiced By: Derek Hagen

The heir to one of the oldest and most influential families in the US and well as the leader of The Lodge, an exclusive hunting club for the wealthy to hunt down endangered animals.


  • Bad Boss: Blair isn't particularly nice to his workers, though this is at least partly due to his hunt taking much longer than anticipated and going poorly due to being Surrounded by Idiots.
  • Bad People Abuse Animals: Or, bad people hunt endangered animals for financial gain.
  • Beard of Evil: His thick beard emphasizes his disgruntled expression.
  • Egomaniac Hunter: Enjoys trophy-hunting endangered species just to show off.
  • Evil Poacher: He's the leader of a poaching ring and during his assassination, he's attempting to hunt down an endangered species of anaconda.
  • Fat Bastard: He's one of the few overweight targets in the game and a total douchebag.
  • Impoverished Patrician: He comes from one of the wealthiest families in America, but lost almost everything when their shady financial dealings were made public. The Lodge is his way of maintaining the extravagant lifestyle to which he's become accustomed.
  • Informed Ability: He is said to be an expert hunter and Diana even warns 47 that he is used to hunting predators... yet like all other targets, he doesn't carry a gun.
  • Karmic Death: Blair can be blown up by a bomb left in his snake trap, courtesy of 47.
    • In a more subtle example, Blair, an expert hunter is assassinated by 47, an expert hunter who kills people like Blair.
  • No Celebrities Were Harmed: His appearance, particularly his thick beard and the fact his family's wealth came from shady means are likely based on that of infamous CEO Dan Bilzerian.
  • Rich Bastard: Hosts hunting parties on endangered animals to make a profit.
  • Screw the Rules, I Have Connections!: The Lodge has managed to escape justice by bribing politicians and having several officials among their membership. The contract asks to obtain Reddington's black book to expose the names of those involved.
  • Surrounded by Idiots: His hunt for the cloud serpent is going poorly because the soldados he was saddled with by Delgado as a condition of being allowed to hunt on his turf have no idea how to be stealthy in the jungle and are scaring away the animal.

    Ajit "AJ" Krish 

Ajit Krish

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/20190924221928_1.jpg

Voiced By: Derek Hagen

The charismatic frontman for Atlantide, a multilevel marketing scheme based around selling bottled water with supposedly miraculous medicinal properties.


  • Asshole Victim: He's not a murderer or terrorist, yet he's such a scumbag it's hard to feel anything but scorn for him.
  • Bullying a Dragon: He pissed off the wrong person, selling quack cure water to unsuspecting people. One unfortunate customer wasted their savings on his product, leading them to hire 47 to kill him.
  • Casanova Wannabe: He can sometimes be seen flirting with a woman who clearly isn't responsive to his affections. He's very persistant.
  • Con Man: He sells worthless water to people, claiming it's a miracle product that cures a myriad of diseases.
  • Cool Shades: The only cool thing about them. He wears them on his forehead.
  • The Dragon: To Galen Vholes.
  • Faux Affably Evil: He's lured several people into Atlantide using his charisma.
  • Irony: Unsurprisingly, he never drinks Atlantide. Offering him a glass disguised as the server will have him drink it to keep up appearances, but he'll scold you under his breath for not reading the memo.
  • Jerkass: He's not even Nice to the Waiter like most targets, he's just an unpleasant dick.
  • Karmic Death: There are multiple challenges to kill him using Atlantide, including poisoning a glass he's drinking from, or even electrocuting him with a drum of the snake oil water.
  • Light Is Not Good: He wears light colored clothing and is a con artist and snake oil salesman.
  • No Celebrities Were Harmed: Krish appears to be a jab at Ajit Pai, the infamous former chairman of the FCC, as they share the same first name, they're both known for hiding behind a polite demeanor (the former a snake oils salesman for bottled water, the latter for keeping up appearances as a goofy idiot, when that's far from true), while "Krish" has connotations for meaning "Mysterious". They also both share a passing resemblance to one another.
  • Ponzi: How he makes money with his quack products. Him and Vholes have been perfecting this scheme to an alarming level, causing a bamboozled customer to hire 47 to end the duo's scheme.
  • Snake Oil Salesman: He sells worthless water bottles to people while claiming they can cure many diseases. This is the reason a hit is on him in the first place.
  • Take That!: To the modern day snake-oil salesmen. Also likely one to FCC Chairman Ajit Pai (despised nationwide for repealing net neutrality), as they share the same first name, they're both known for hiding behind a polite demeanor (the former a snake oils salesman for bottled water, the latter for keeping up appearances as a goofy idiot, when that's far from true), while "Krish" has connotations for meaning "Mysterious". They also both share a passing resemblance to one another.
  • Villain with Good Publicity: Not surprising given that he's a confidence man. His employees and even a few of his hired security guards seem to all be true believers. He does have enough of a bad reputation that the race driver he's signed a sponsorship deal for seems to realize he's unknowingly gotten into business with a shady scammer.
  • Watch the Paint Job: He'll freak out if his expensive sports car is blown up.

    Galen Vholes 

Galen Vholes

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/20190924221909_1.jpg

Voiced By: Alexander McMorran

The founder of Atlantide and fraudulent "alternative medicine" peddler, currently operating an illegal private practice out of Whittleton Creek, despite lacking any medical qualifications.


  • All-Natural Snake Oil: Atlantide, which is pretty much just homeotherapy water with even less that could be considered medical treatment ('demineralization' of salt water is literally just removing the salt, leaving plain water that he's able to overcharge for).
  • Affably Evil: Justified, given his profession. He’s skilled at gaining the trust of his patients in order to sell his supposed "miracle cures".
  • Crippling Overspecialization: He trusts his security system way too much; it blocks entry through windows sure, but has no effect on his easily climbable wooden fence or the fact he didn't bother to lock his basement door. Especially bad when you consider that the switch to turn off the security system is in said basement! Combined with the facts that he has no cameras and keeps only 5 guys with him inside the house, his "hideout" is much easier to infiltrate than those of the other targets.
  • Distinction Without a Difference: When meeting with the mailman, Galen states that his chronic illness can he helped by drinking "four liters of demineralized saltwater" a day, claiming its far healthier than regular water. 47 is quick to point out that "demineralized saltwater" literally means regular water, although Galen continues with his ruse.
  • Elite Mooks: While entering his house is easy, reaching him is a completely different deal; 2 of the aforementioned 5 cannot be Mugged for Disguise and the other 3 are all enforcers for the guard disguise. Worse yet, one never moves from his post at the top of the stairs and even if you found a way past said guard (like turning off the security system to use the windows), the floor is not especially big, making it very difficult to reach Galen without being seen. His personal guard also follows him to the bathroom in the event he needs to vomit, so that's not an option either.
  • Eye Scream: Yet another target who can end up with a pen in their eyesocket.
  • Freudian Excuse: According to his bio, his parents and siblings were all extremely accomplished doctors but Galen was only average academically, which led him to find other ways in which to distinguish himself.
  • Ironic Name: In history, Galen was a Greek doctor who contributed heavily to the study of medicine. While Vholes comes from a family of doctors, he is a crank doctor running a pseudoscientific multi-level marketing scam.
  • Karmic Death:
    • You can kill him while disguised as the mailman, who he was planning to have be the latest victim of his scam.
    • Like with Ajit Krish, there's also a challenge to kill him with an electrified puddle of Atlantide.
  • The Man Behind the Man: He's the secret brains behind Atlantide while A.J. acts as the frontman and face of the company. Even Diana is unaware of his existence until 47 uncovers evidence linking A.J. to him during his assassination of A.J.
  • Meaningful Name: May be unintentional, but try turning that "V" upside down.
  • Properly Paranoid: In response to numerous death threats from disgruntled customers, he has invested in heavy security systems and has asked the police to help protect his home.
  • Quack Doctor: Galen has a home clinic in his house despite not actually having any medical qualifications. Unsurprisingly, most of his treatment is just shilling for Atlantide.
  • Snake Oil Salesman: He's the inventor of the snake oil that is Atlantide.
  • Too Dumb to Live: Despite relying heavily on his home's security system, he leaves the door to his basement unlocked without anyone protecting the system.
  • Villain with Good Publicity: The Whittleton Creek deputies assigned to protect him seem to have no clue about his shady dealings and he seems to be scamming a number of the neighborhood's residents.

Ghost Mode Targets

    In General 
  • Ambiguously Evil: 47 usually goes after dangerous people, so it's implied they're not the most moral of people. Though, nothing exists to back this up or disprove it.
  • Color Motif: White and blue, the most ghostly colors. It also makes them stand out from the rest of the NPC's.
  • Cosmic Plaything: Once killed by 47, They doesn't stay dead for long and can return to a randomized location, only to be hunted down by you and the other player again.
  • Death Is Cheap: Death effects them for 20 seconds at most.
  • Flat Character: Nothing is known about them but their name and appearance, as they only exist to be killed by 47.
  • Make It Look Like an Accident: The easiest way to kill them in public is to do it in an accidental way, as their kills aren't counted if another NPC spots their body.
  • Men Are the Expendable Gender: They're all males.
  • Needle in a Stack of Needles: They're hidden in the level amongst the many NPC's, and part of the challenge is finding them and killing them before the other 47 gets to them.
  • Only Six Faces: Justified, as the game mode had them both in places where lots of AI crowds hang out and so they dress differently (and look different face-wise) to their surroundings.
  • Round Hippie Shades: Adam and Terou both wear a pair of rounded glasses, orange and blue-black respectively. Looks especially weird on Adam, who also wore a trenchcoat.
  • Unexplained Recovery: They come back to life within seconds, perfect for 47 and ghost 47 to kill them yet again.
