ICA Training Facility
Terry Norfolk
A passenger on Ritter's ship who is seeking the thief's services.
- Affably Evil: He's an amoral jerk, but every bit as polite and personable as Ritter is.
- A God Am I: He wants to use the profit he makes from the reactor to become an immensely powerful man, likening himself to the next king of the world.
- Cool Shades: Part of his outfit.
- Evil Plan: He wants to enlist the services of Kalvin Ritter to obtain knowledge of a reactor 100 years ahead of its time. He then wants to bring it to the market and make a massive profit, becoming one of the most powerful people in the world. Unfortunately for him, Ritter is assassinated before he can secure the files for him.
- Greed: He wants to enlist the help of Ritter due to the fact the Gentleman Thief can secure a powerful reactor for him. Norfolk then wants to sell it for a massive profit and become obscenely wealthy, showing that his desire for money is his main motivation for this scheme.
- Happily Married: He speaks of his wife highly, taking her advice to heart.
- Light Is Not Good: He wears white clothing and is willing to use the services of Kalvin Ritter.
- Mugged for Disguise: His outfit can be taken in order to gain access to Ritter, providing an easy and quiet way to kill him.
- Sinister Shades: They compliment his outfit, giving off a slightly unnerving appearance.
- Villain in a White Suit: He's planning to enlist the services of Ritter while wearing his snazziest white suit.
Cilas Netzke
A KGB officer helping Jasper Knight evacuate to the Soviet Union.
- Accidental Murder: This can happen if 47 tricks him into turning on the projector as Knight tinkers with it.
- Affably Evil: He's not a good person, but damn if he isn't friendly.
- Dirty Commies: He's a communist helping evacuate a murderer and traitor to the Soviet Union.
- Mugged for Disguise: His disguise can be taken to lure Knight to a quiet room.

Valerie St. Clair
Valerie St. Clair
Voiced By: Colleen O'Shaughnessey
A prominent leader of the fashion magazine; "Showstopper". Her magazine is going under and she needs a big break.
- Accidental Hero: What she would have been if 47 didn't get to Viktor and Dalia first. Her desire to rejuvenate her failing magazine leads to her discovering the truth about Viktor and his wife and almost exposing it to the public.
- Bad Boss: She knows full-well how dangerous Viktor is, and still sends her subordinates to do dangerous espionage tasks to spy on him, even when it's clear that one of them has been caught.
- Bullying a Dragon: Viktor is a mobster and one of the most dangerous men in the world, specializing in global espionage. Valerie is a fashion blogger, and cocky enough to brag to Viktor's face that she has intel on him.
- Good Is Not Nice: Well, she's doing a good thing by exposing Viktor for the villain he is, but her demeanor and methods for finding the truth are not exactly honourable.
- Intrepid Reporter: She's a fashion journalist turning to investigative journalism to prevent her magazine going under. She does get her assistants to do the dirty work though.
- Jerkass: She's willing to send her employees on incredibly dangerous tasks, and is cold and unsympathetic to them to boot. The only reason she isn't loathable is because she is trying to expose Novikov's actions, even if it's for less than honorable reasons.
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: Most likely a parody of Anna Wintour.
- Only in It for the Money: Valerie cares more about exposing Viktor for the attention it will bring her failing magazine rather than for any noble reason.
- Smug Snake: Bragging to Viktor isn't a very smart thing to do.
- Suicidal Overconfidence: She has enough nerve to taunt Viktor to his face, saying that she knows his darkest secrets. This lets Viktor know someone is onto him, causing him to panic about how to deal with this. Giving that Viktor is a firm believer of Murder Is the Best Solution, this is a very stupid decision that, had 47 not intervened, would've not gotten out unscathed from.
- Title Drop: Her magazine is called "Showstopper", which is also the title of the mission she appears in.
Hailey Brennan
Hailey Brennan
Voiced By: Rochelle Greenwood
Dalia Margolis' assistant and a spy for Valerie St. Clair.
- Earn Your Happy Ending: She'd been undercover as Dalia's assistant doing investigative work for a while, an extremely stressful and dangerous job. Dalia finds out and plots to kill her, with her only ally being a CICADA guard with a crush on her. If Dalia is killed, the two of them flee the premises and confess their love for each other, free to live a life safe from Dalia's wrath.
- The Mole: For Valerie St. Clair, something Dalia is aware of.
- Mugging the Monster: Hailey was looking for material to blackmail Dalia, It's just she thought she was a ex-supermodel turned shady businesswoman, not the head of an organization with ties to international terrorism.
- Nervous Wreck: She's on edge due to Dalia closing in on her, understandable given her circumstances.
- Not What I Signed on For: Hailey is spying on Dalia, a woman who is the head of an international crime syndicate and is justly terrified.
- Properly Paranoid: She's terrified Dalia will kill her; Dalia is already planning on how to dispose of her.
- Rewarded as a Traitor Deserves: Believes, correctly, that this is what Dalia has in store for her.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: One of the guards has fallen in love with her and offers to help her escape if 47 screws with Dalia's laptop.
- Video Game Caring Potential: By sabotaging Dalia's laptop and murdering her and Viktor, you've effectively granted Hailey a peaceful life without any fear of retribution from IAGO, which she'll hopefully get to spend with her new boyfriend.
- You All Look Familiar: Shares the same face as several other NPCs in the level, including Lana Caprice.
Helmut Kruger
Helmut Kruger
Voiced By: Dave Hill
A world-famous male model and actor whose star is fading as he grows older. He's taken up working for IAGO. Curiously, he also possesses a near-identical appearance to Agent 47.
- Badass Longcoat: He's not very badass, but he wears an extremely stylish black coat that flutters dramatically behind him when he moves. If 47 ends up impersonating him, that coat certainly becomes one of these.
- Brainless Beauty: He's a supermodel, but he is woefully out of his depth compared to people like Dalia, unaware of how convoluted and dangerous her schemes are. He's a nice guy, but too stupid to comprehend just how deep he's in to Dalia's schemes, merely wanting to retire from a stressful job and start his business. It's safe to say that Dalia played him like a fiddle.
- Dark Is Not Evil: Despite wearing dark blue and black, looking like 47 and wearing ominous makeup that invokes Excessive Evil Eyeshadow, he's actually a reasonably nice guy who's just in way over his head.
- The Ditz: He's not very smart, being naïve enough to walk right into Dalia's web of intrigue.
- Establishing Character Moment: He's first encountered posing for modelling photos before phoning someone to announce his meeting with Dalia, showing that he's a handsome and naïve man who takes orders from others.
- Excessive Evil Eye Shadow: Part of his outfit. 47 even gets to try it out too if he impersonates him. While he's not evil, Dalia certainly wants to turn him into a villain.
- Forced into Evil: Downplayed, as while he was willing to do some simple tasks for her, he was unaware of how heinous such tasks would end up being. What Dalia had in store for him, as shown by the espionage and murder he was supposed to carry out on her behest. Fortunately, her grip on him is released when she is killed by 47.
- Hidden Depths: He apparently wants to start a business, showing that there's more to him than being a dimwitted supermodel.
- Honey Trap: Is assigned to seduce women for Dalia Margolis so he can get the secrets of their associates.
- Identical Stranger: Looks almost identical to 47 and the latter can pass as the former even without makeup. Albeit, that's because Helmut is rarely seen without any on. A side-by-side comparison of Helmut and 47 disguised as Helmut shows there are enough subtle differences.
- Mugged for Disguise: Since 47 looks exactly like him, he's easily able to impersonate him if he steals his outfit. This is one of the most effective ways to get to and eliminate Dalia.
- Nice Guy: He's normally a good person, even if he's a bit of an idiot. Dalia exploits this by roping him into her web of intrigue.
- Not What I Signed Up For: Is horrified when given cyanide pills to potentially off himself.
- Obliviously Evil: He thinks Dalia merely wants him to spy on people to pass information onto his boss, presumably unaware of how sketchy this is. She actually wants to use him as a Honey Trap to seduce and murder people after collecting compromising and dangerous information involving them. Kruger does not take this well, realising that this is far more than he was willing to do.
- Oh, Crap!: He freaks out when he realises just how evil Dalia is, knowing he's in far too deep at this point. Fortunately, the evil spymaster is murdered, voiding the contract he was meant to carry out.
- Undignified Death: If you're not aiming for a silent assassin rating, stripping him to his underwear and chucking him into the Siene is the easiest way to get his disguise and infiltrate the auction.
- White-Dwarf Starlet: What he wants to avoid more than anything; Helmut had a very successful career but he knows his best years are behind him and doesn’t want to overstay his welcome. That's why he's agreed to become a spy for Dalia Margolis; he wants some seed money to retire on and start his own makeup and skin care business.
Kurt Donovan
Kurt Donovan
Voiced By: Jeffrey Johnson
Viktor's bodyguard and confidant.
- Affably Evil: He's very polite and chatty to Viktor and is honest to him when Viktor asks him difficult questions. Uncharacteristically, Viktor takes this very well when Kurt offers his insight.
- Ambiguously Evil: It's not sure how closely affiliated to IAGO he actually is, but considering he acts as Viktors Confidant, it must not faze him that much.
- Artificial Stupidity: He'll continue to eat the sushi in the kitchen, even if he's previously puked his guts out due to it being poisoned.
- Bald of Evil: He has no hair, and is the bodyguard for a ruthless spy.
- Brutal Honesty: He's quite blunt to Viktor, no matter how short his boss' temper is.
- The Confidant: Donovan is the only person that Viktor truly trusts besides Dalia, and he'll frequently ask him for his opinions, even those involving confidential information. While they're not always the most gentle, Viktor genuinely respects him and takes many of his statements into consideration.
- Dark Is Evil: He wears black and is Viktor's right hand man.
- The Dragon: He is Viktor's main source of protection, ready to shoot anyone that poses a threat to his boss. If he is incapacitated or killed, Viktor is left far more vulnerable to 47's attack.
- Elite Mooks: A CICADA bodyguard who is an enforcer. He also follows Viktor around.
- Subverted. He's not more powerful than any other CICADA bodyguard, but he does has access to the evacuation signal.
- Excellent Judge of Character: He may be the only man in the level not to be blinded by Dalia's charms, warning Viktor how dangerous she is. It's not Dalia who ends the moneyman's life though.
- Fatal Flaw: Gluttony. When he gets close to the sushi in the kitchen, he will take a bit of it and eat it. If he survives this and pukes his guts out in the toilets, he'll go for seconds next time he sees the food.
- The Heavy: As Viktor is unarmed, he serves as Viktor's enforcer, with a firearm at his disposal that he isn't afraid to use.
- Honest Advisor: Viktor on several occasions asks for his advice while going round the Palais de Walwesca, and does seem to appreciate his advice.
- Hypercompetent Sidekick: He is incredibly perceptive and really good at his job, being a loyal and hard working bodyguard for Viktor.
- Mugged for Disguise: Taking him out nabs you the CICADA disguise and makes Viktor much more vunerable to attacks.
- Oh, Crap!: He takes it poorly if Viktor is killed right in front of him. This is understandable, as it means he's failed as a bodyguard.
- Tampering with Food and Drink: He'll frequently snack on the sushi in the kitchen, which can be used against him by 47, courtesy of the rat poison lying around nearby.
Lana Caprice
Lana Caprice
Voiced By: Natalie Griffiths
A reporter for "All the Rage", a web magazine focusing on fashion and lifestyle, who has managed to secure an interview with Viktor Novikov.
- Cutting Off the Branches: A vacationer mentions All The Rage in "Club 27" and "The Source", suggesting that her interview did go through and boost her career.
- Oh, Crap!: Her camera lens to film the interview is cracked, and so the interview cannot go ahead. She is quite annoyed at this. The interview will go through if 47 offers up a replacement.
- Product Placement: Attempt to offer this when calling up some of her contacts on her phone to a rival magazine company. It sadly doesn't work out.
- Video Game Caring Potential: You can set her up with an interview with Novikov minutes before he dies, something that will likely make her a household name in the fashion industry.
Sophus Fatalé
- Affably Evil: He's pretty nice for The Confidant of a spymaster.
- The Confidant: Like Donovan is to Viktor, Fatalé is this to Margolis. The two of them discuss schemes and how they should approach upcoming situations. Dalia seems to trust him, a rarity for such a paranoid woman.
- The Consigliere: Seems to be this for Dalia, often advising her on issues and how to solve them.
- Dark Is Evil: He wears a black suit and is working with one of the most dangerous women in the world.
- Meaningful Name: Fatalé is a fitting last name for someone working for a woman who specializes in female spies and femme fatales.
- No Honor Among Thieves: Seems to have a disdain for Viktor, even suggesting "putting him down" though that may be because of his recent actions to try and barter with an assassin (The Shadow Client).
Martha Herris
A spy working for IAGO.
- Anti-Villain: She has willingly worked with Dalia to make some money to start her business, but has a genuine desire to go legit and leave her past behind, even refusing a generous offer from Margolis.
- Karma Houdini: By virtue of not being a target, even though she was directly responsible for Dalia acquiring the NOC list that's being auctioned during the mission. Unless 47 goes out of his way to kill her, there's nothing stopping her from succeeding in going legit and moving on from her career in espionage.
- Pragmatic Villainy: She may not have much in terms of morals, but she still has the good sense to avoid diving deep into the spider's nest that Dalia has created.
- Punny Name: Given her occupation, her name's likely a reference to Mata Hari.
Tren Po
- Call-Forward: He's talking on the phone with Jordan Cross, the target of "Club 27", and asks him to record a new song for him.
- Continuity Nod: As part of Dalia's routine, he converses with her, the latter mentioning the MI6 NOC List 47 is sent to stop being sold.
- Creepy Monotone: He consistently speaks like this, and doesn't really show much emotion. He gets angry if you don't answer him with a straight answer, and even on his call with Jordan, he sounds vaguely sarcastic, more than genuinely happy to get his call.
- Dark Is Evil: His clothes and heart are as black as they come.
Sir Humphrey Titus Rutherford
An arms manufacturer who helps the goverment combat terrorist organisations. Despite this, he obtains information through unsavory means, such as using IAGO to steal manufacuring plans from Kronstadt Industries.
- Affably Evil: He's greedy and amoral, but an impeccably polite and personable man.
- Anti-Villain: He works with the government to combat terrorists, though he is willing to steal blueprints from rival manufacturers and conspire with spy networks to expand his business and undermine opposition.
- Arms Dealer: An Anti-Villain example. He sells weapons to the government to combat terrorists, yet also works with equally dangerous people to maintain his business.
- Call-Forward:
- He's trying to undermine Kronlund (the early name for Kronstadt Industries), a company that comes into prominence in "Situs Inversus".
- In a phone call, he suggests hiring future target Noel Crest as a fixer.
- Card-Carrying Villain: He's not subtle about his amoral activities, happily boasting about it to other auction guests.
- Evil Brit: He's British, and uses unsavory means to sustain his business.
- Evil vs. Evil: He's an unscrupulous arms manufacturer helping to combat Crystal Dawn, an anarchistic terrorist organisation.
- Four Eyes, Zero Soul: He wears glasses, and conspires with such unsavory types like Dalia Margolis in order to obtain classified information.
- Go-Karting with Bowser: He forms a friendship with Mabaya Mzabuni, a Crystal Dawn terrorist, an organisation he supplies weapons to the British goverment to fight against. Despite this, the two seem on good terms.
- Irony: He quickly forms a bond with Mabaya, a high ranking member of Crystal Dawn.
- Overly Long Name: Sir Humphrey Titus Rutherford is certainly a mouthful.
- Screw the Rules, I Have Connections!: He uses IAGO to expand his business as well as the British government to maintain his wealth and status, as he's already gotten a knighthood from the British empire. Due to his prestiege, he's pretty much above the law.
Mabaya Mzabuni
A Crystal Dawn terrorist at the auction.
- Bald of Evil: He's got no hair, and no morals, considering he’s a high ranking member of a terrorist organization.
- Odd Friendship: With Sir Humphrey Titus Rutherford, the man providing weapons to try and kill him and his other Crystal Dawn affiliates.
Nelle Brent
A Democratic Party member who wants to dig up dirt on her opponents.
- Corrupt Politician: She wants to dig up dirt on her rivals and is willing to use an international espionage ring to do so.
- Odd Friendship: Chats with Andrea Martinez about the latter's history while drinking. Andrea notes that they would likely be friends if not for them working in organizations that oppose each other.
Sheikh Salman Al-Ghazali
Sheikh Salman Al-Ghazali
Voiced By: Yuri Lowenthal (2016), Derek Hagen (2018)
A reclusive sheikh with ties to terrorist organizations that is currently at the auction. He returns in Hitman 2, where he's found meeting Hector Delgado in "The Finish Line".
- Arab Oil Sheikh: He's a corrupt sheikh that made his family fortunes in oil, has ties to various terrorist organizations, and dresses in a patterned keffiyeh and white suit.
- Cutting Off the Branches: He returns in "The Finish Line" in 2 talking to Hector Delgado, and his outfit is able to be worn once again, meaning he can’t be killed in Paris.
- Fiction 500: He mentions to Hector that he's wealthy enough to coat his buildings in gold.
- The Hermit: He's rarely seen in public and few people have seen his face, which gives 47 the opportunity to disguise as him.
- Mugged for Disguise: His outfit can be worn, and it's probably the most useful one in the level, being able to get 47 almost anywhere in the map without any enforcers seeing through it.
- Skeleton Key: Wearing Salman's outfit in "The Showstopper" lets him have a private meeting with Dalia and gives him access to the entire level without any enforcers. There are still trespass areas that he isn't allowed in however, such as the attic.
Max Decker
A FSB officer and KGB agent who helped Viktor Novikov cover his tracks by killing an investigator and setting a fire at the FSB headquarters. He wants to arrange a meeting with Viktor to discuss the payment.
- Artificial Stupidity: He puts a lot of trust into 47 if he disguises as a CICADA guard, following him around until he's taken to the garden pavilion. This can lead to unintentional comedy, as 47 can take him on a tour through the entire palace. This has been fixed with other NPC's, who will not follow 47 into irrelevant areas.
- Dark Is Evil: Wears dark grey, and is an arsonist and murderer.
- Four Eyes, Zero Soul: He has glasses, and is a ruthless FSB agent.
- The Heavy: Him and Lucas Grey carried out Viktor's heavy work. While Grey used this as an excuse to get close to Viktor, Decker works with him for a paycheck.
- Karma Houdini: In a silent assassin playthrough, he gets no comeuppance for his actions. The worst that happens is that he doesn't get paid by Viktor for his actions, due to Viktor being killed by 47. Even this isn't guaranteed, as an opportunity to kill Viktor requires the deal to be made, meaning that Decker actually benefits from his actions.
- Karmic Death: He can be blown up in the pagoda while making a deal with Viktor. Him and his bodyguard can also be killed by 47 when the latter is disguised as a CICADA enforcer, ironic as Decker hired the bodyguard as extra protection.
- Overt Operative: He looks like a fancily dressed man, yet a civilian having a bodyguard is rather jarring, hinting to his true nature as a FSB officer.
- Properly Paranoid: He doesn't even trust his own bodyguard with escorting him around the premises, requiring an Elite Mook to provide security during his stay at the palace. This is understandable, as 47 is also present at the location, planning to wipe Viktor from the face of the earth.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: He will leave the premises once he's paid by Viktor.
Jared Dorst
Hailey Brennan's lover, a CICADA guard who is trying to protect her from Dalia.
- Dark Is Not Evil: Unlike pretty much every CICADA member, he's willing to put everything on the line to rescue Hailey from Dalia's wrath.
- Token Good Teammate: Of CICADA. While he's probably done some terrible things in the past, he's willing to turn over a new leaf to save the life of an innocent woman in way over her head.
Lindsey Lacour
A reporter outside the Palais De Waleska covering the events of the Paris fashion show.
- Alliterative Name: Lindsey Lacour.
- Berserk Button: She hates when people interrupt her reporting, such as 47 standing in front of her camera or throwing stuff in the fountain.
- Brutal Honesty: She speaks her mind whenever someone interrupts her broadcast or if Jay goes off on a tangent about something ridiculous.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She is maybe a bit too blunt to Jay, but she seems to get on well with him, putting up with his ludicrous ideas with only a reaction of moderate annoyance at the very worst.
- Mrs. Exposition: She provides some general insight into the two targets, and is likely the first NPC dialogue the player will be exposed to, if they're so inclined to eavesdrop on her news report.
- Odd Friendship: With Jay. While she doesn't like his nonsensical conversations and while he's upset she doesn't keep up to date with football, the two of them seem to have a friendship that goes beyond just business associates.
- Only Sane Woman: She is having none of Jay's outlandish ideas, quickly telling him exactly how stupid she thinks they are.
- Video Game Cruelty Potential: You can sabotage her broadcast multiple times to force them to not cover the fashion show.
Jay Smart
The cameraman seen at the start of the level filming with Lindsey.
- Cloud Cuckoolander: He's got some crazy theories to share with Lindsey, going off in tangents until she shuts him up. There's several minutes of dialogue solely consisting of his "theories."
- Conspiracy Theorist: Some of his thoughts are completely divorced from reality, coming across as utterly insane.
- The Ditz: He isn't very smart, as shown by his outrageous and harebrained theories.
- Foil: To Jeff Baker, as the two of them are the cameramen for their respective bosses. Jay cares about his job and is a rather friendly person while Jeff is a cowardly slacker who is too busy getting high to do his job.
- Ironic Name: Jay Smart is...not smart. He believes a lot of conspiracy theories, something Lindsay constantly tells him to be quiet about.
- Motor Mouth: He hardly ever shuts up and will go off about many topics, even when Lindsey clearly doesn't care.
- Must Have Nicotine: He's a smoker, something he will do if 47 sabotages Lindsey's broadcast.
- Nice Guy: He's very friendly to Lindsey and seems to really enjoy her company.
- No Social Skills: He is rather awkward in conversations, not able to understand that Lindsey doesn't care what he's talking about.
- Odd Friendship: With Lindsey. She's a high-strung and dedicated journalist while he's a laid-back and chatty man who will take any job he gets. While they occasionally quarrel, the two seem to get on well, and enjoy each other's company.
- Video Game Cruelty Potential: His expensive camera has a spare lens which can be stolen from him.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: Lindsey returns in later levels, though Smart is never heard from again.
- Wrong Genre Savvy: He is helping to cover the events of a fashion show, but knows nothing about fashion. Lindsey calls him out on this.
Congressman Walsh
A congressman who seems to be close to Viktor.
- Ambiguously Evil: Whether he's just cosying up with the social elite due to their shared status or whether he is a corrupt politician using Viktor's criminal network isn't explained, due to Walsh not getting enough explanation of his motivations.
- Corrupt Politician: He has a very short meeting with Viktor before the latter is hoisted away to deal with Sato, but nothing is said about how or why he's corrupt.
- Flat Character: He only really exists to talk to Viktor briefly, so all we know about him is that he's a politician who was going to have some lunch with Viktor.
- Only Known by Their Nickname: His first name is never given, so he's only known as Congressman Walsh; it's even his name in Contracts mode.
Liza Mc Kenzie
Valerie's assistant, who is about to spy on Dalia Margolis. She's worried about Hailey, who is currently spying on Dalia.
- Genre Savvy: She's aware that she won't survive Dalia's wrath if she goes along with Valerie's plan. She's also correct that Hailey is in danger, due to her role as a double agent being compromised.
- Nervous Wreck: She understanably doesn't take it well when Valerie tells her she's going to spy on Dalia and that's final. She's on the phone to a friend, expressing her unease at this turn of events.
- Oh, Crap!: She breaks down when she realises that Valerie is insistent that she spy on Margolis.
- Schmuck Bait: She can be killed or knocked out due to the fact she has an auction ticket on her. This is completely pointless, as there's many tickets all across the map far easier to access without causing a mess. Due to the fact that the nearest closet to hide her body requires dragging her body past a route where a security guard patrols.
- Video Game Caring Potential: A rare example where you do this no matter what. By killing Dalia and Viktor, she no longer has to go undercover at the auction to get dirt on Viktor, meaning she's safe from two of the most dangerous people in the world, rendering Valerie's scheme entirely moot.
Santa Claus
It's Santa! He can teleport at whim. He appears exclusively in Holiday Hoarders.
- Made of Iron: Played with. He's very hard to kill with firearms, taking around 21 shots from the Striker to put down. However, he can still be knocked unconscious just as easily as everyone else.
- Mugged for Disguise: While his outfit isn't that useful normally, it can be worn by 47 if he wishes. It becomes a permanant addition in 47's wardrobe if he completes all the challenges in the level, meaning poor old Santa doesn't have to keep being stripped to his underwear so 47 can look like him while assassinating targets.
Sapienza: World of Tomorrow
Padre Francesco
Padre Francesco
Voiced By: Brian Kimmet
The local priest in Sapienza. Appears in both World of Tomorrow and Landslide.
- Chekhov's Gunman: In "World of Tomorrow", he can be overheard talking to a female scientist as part of an opportunity, but other than that, Francesco is just a minor character. In "Landslide", disguising as him would give you several ways of dealing with Abiatti.
- Complaining About Rescues They Don't Like: The game has a challenge that can be fulfilled by killing Abiatti right as he's about to push Padre Francesco off the church bell tower, but taking out Abiatti this way has Francesco merely run and panickedly tell a guard like any other NPC would - even if you fire the killing shots just as Francesco is tipping over.
- Cowardly Lion: Padre Francesco is hiding in the back of his church because he rightly believes Abiatti will kill him, but if forced to confront Abiatti, Francesco will refuse to collaborate with Abiatti's plans and threaten to go to the press about Abiatti's crimes even though it would break his vow of silence.
- Cutting Off the Branches: His appearance in "Landslide" as an NPC opens the possibility of 47 killing him in gameplay or Marco Abiatti throwing him off the roof of the church to his death should they cross paths, but his appearance in "World of Tomorrow" confirms that he survives the events of "Landslide". In fact, background NPC dialogue in "World of Tomorrow" mentions him coming out of a "Marco Abiatti incident" unscathed, implying that either he did encounter Marco Abiatti during "Landslide" and that 47 saved him from this and completed the Guardian Assassin challenge or that 47 disguised as Francesco met Abiatti in his place.
- Dark Is Not Evil: Dressed all in black and the kindest soul in the game.
- Good Shepherd: He is a priest and one of the most innocent characters in the series.
- Nice Guy: Padre Francesco is a nice guy, which naturally makes him enemies with Marco Abiatti.
- Properly Paranoid: Francesco hides from Marco Abiatti, worried that the latter would kill him.
- Saved by Canon: As "Landslide" happens before "World Of Tomorrow", Abiatti's murder of him does not happen.
Roberto Vargas
Roberto Vargas
Voiced By: Dave Hill
The lecherous golfing coach at Silvio Caruso's mansion and Francesca De Santis' lover. Their affair is an open secret among the security staff but unknown to the mansion servants.
- Age-Gap Romance: Usually dates younger women despite seeming to be in his late 30s or older 40s. Him liking Francesca, who is around his age, shocks him.
- The Casanova: Has this reputation among the town and his fans.
- Ladykiller in Love: He is surprised by how intense his feelings for Francesca are, and is trying to gather the courage to text her to meet in her room.
- Mistaken for Cheating: Roberto flirts with other women, especially his fans, but only does this to maintain his image. Francesca is still upset and suspicious about it, but is notified by her guards about this.
- Mugged for Disguise: His disguise can be taken to lure Francesca to her room for a private talk.
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: Being a golf professional known for his promiscuity, he's likely based on Tiger Woods.
- O.O.C. Is Serious Business: He usually only dates much younger and less intelligent women, so him being attracted to Francesca, a women he himself admits is definitely not his usual type, being age-appropriate as well as a genius, really freaks him out.
- Really Gets Around: Mutters that he hasn't had sex in five hours when trying to come up with something to say to Francesca.
- Together in Death: There's a challenge for locking Francesca's corpse in with Roberto's. However, this challenge can be completed even if Roberto is merely unconscious.
Dr. Oscar Lafayette
Dr. Oscar Lafayette
Voiced By: Brian Kimmet
A psychologist hired by Ether to help Silvio Caruso.
- Early-Bird Cameo: He references Marco Abiatti and them dying in this level, which is the premise of the later-released Bonus Episode: "Landslide", where 47 is responsible for said killing.
- Blatant Lies: He claims that he has cured Jordan Cross... but as 47 finds out later, he clearly hasn't and is still a barely-holding-up mess of a musician.
- Mugged for Disguise: Before he goes to meet Silvio for a session, Lafayette is drinking his coffee at a cafe. 47 can help take care of some of Oscar's workload by poisoning the coffee and knocking him out.
- Mr. Smith: His last name; "Lafayette", seems to be pretty common in-universe, as there's at least two Lafayette's running about that we know of, both of them therapists. This Lafayette (Oscar) diagnoses Silvio and is mentioned by Pam Kingsley on his opinions on "The Censor" in the Whittleton Creek level of Hitman 2, while the other Lafayette (Nelson) is the therapist for Janus in that same level. The two do not appear to be related blood-wise however. There's also an ICA agent disguised as a therapist, who dresses like Lafayette in "The Undying"'s reveal trailer.
- Nice Guy: He's calm and respectful to Silvio. Justified, as he's a psychologist.
Isabella Caruso
Isabella Caruso
Voiced By: N/A ("World of Tomorrow"), Traci Lords (Training / Freeform Training)
Silvio Caruso's obsessive and controlling mother, who had died a died a year prior to the events of World of Tomorrow.
- Abusive Parents: She was a possessive and manipulative mother to Silvio, who emotionally abused him to keep him dependent on her.
- Asshole Victim: It's hard to feel sorry for her when you find out Silvio smothered her in her sleep. 47 outright calls her a "monster" during Silvio's therapy session.
- Call-Forward: Her name gets mentioned in "Landslide" by two women discussing the villa being shut and a doctor being called, which implies Silvio kept the news of her death under wraps for quite a while.
- Early-Bird Cameo: She (or more specifically, an ICA actress portraying her) appears in the training mission talking about her son and even there she's not exactly winning any prizes for "Worlds Best Mother".
- Even Evil Has Standards: Downplayed. In the training mission, she mentions being disturbed by Silvio's anti-social behaviour he displayed as a child... the behaviour she herself encouraged in Silvio.
- Expy: She's basically Hitman's version of Norma Bates. Fitting for the mother of the expy of Norman Bates. Ironically, they're both killed by their son for being abusive.
- Fatal Flaw: Her controlling behaviour over Silvio causes him to snap and murder her.
- Foil: To Thomas Cross and Robert Knox, though both were extremely abusive parents for completely different reasons; Isabella was over possessive and manipulative while Thomas and Robert were negligent and distant.
- Both Isabella and Thomas died because of their respective son's. Silvio murdered Isabella, while Thomas was lured out by his son's death.
- The Ghost: She's dead before "World Of Tomorrow" starts and doesn't appear in any other Sapienza mission, asides from a few namedrops by NPC's in "World of Tomorrow" and "Landslide". It says a lot about her that Silvio is burning a small portrait image of her in his rooms' fireplace.
- Freudian Excuse: Silvio's fear of women can be traced back to her, which explains why he's so messed up psychologically. She also has one, as the death of her husband and her two oldest children leaving her left her desperate to hold on to Silvio, becoming possessive over him to an extreme degree.
- Hate Sink: She is an abusive, selfish, and manipulative bitch who helped turn Silvio into a nervous wreck, and made Renzo and Orlando flee to escape her clutches. Even though she doesn't appear in the Sapienza mission due to being dead, everything you hear about her paints her in a horrible light.
- I Coulda Been a Contender!: Silvio notes in his eulogy that Isabella was quite intelligent and well-connected to be in any dream situation she wanted and her latching to Silvio was to gain some of the control back.
- Karmic Death: Isabella is killed by her own son that she made emotionally dependent on her. 47 even lampshades this by saying that she smothered him so he smothered her.
- My Beloved Smother: She forced Silvio to be dependent on her, which turns out to be her undoing.
- Posthumous Character: She's long dead by the time 47 arrives in Sapienza. Interestingly, she does appear in the prologue, 20 years before the rest of the game is set as some Foreshadowing to "World of Tomorrow".
- Small Role, Big Impact: In-game, she only appears in the tutorial and leads to a lot of the events that happen in "World of Tomorrow", despite being dead by the time the mission takes place.
- Unwitting Instigator of Doom: If it wasn't for her terrible parenting, "World of Tomorrow" wouldn't have happened.
- Villain with Good Publicity: She was well liked by a lot of the house staff, who still mourn her death. None of them seem to realise what a horrible person she was.
- Villainous Legacy: Her death didn't stop Silvio still getting emotionally manipulated by her, to the point he became a fearful shut-in and a gynophobic young man.
- Walking Spoiler: Her story reveals a lot about Silvio, especially the associated opportunity that makes Silvio believe he's seeing her as a ghost.
Sal Falcone
Sal Falcone
Voiced By: Daniel Bonjour
A private detective from Milan who has previously worked for Caruso, and is currently in town to meet De Santis.- Everyone Has Standards: He's noticeably creeped out when a client of his called Curly asks him to take pictures of his wife.
- Falcone: Oh Curly, you human punching bag.
- Mugged for Disguise: His disguise can be worn to lure De Santis into an alley to kill her.
- No-Sell: He seems to recognize everyone in Sapienza, as he acts as an enforcer for all of 47's disguises, including his starting outfits.
- Private Detective: What he is, and from what little we hear, a decently good one, given he managed to get DNA samples for Caruso. He's also one of the few people in the entire trilogy to be an enforcer for all of 47's suits and disguises.
- Starving Artist: This is the reason he took Caruso's odd request to find out about seemingly unrelated people.
Orlando and Renzo Caruso
Orlando Caruso and Renzo Caruso
The estranged elder twin brothers of Silvio Caruso, who fled their mother, Isabella Caruso, to escape her controlling clutches at a young age.
- Chekhov's Gunman: Both of them play a heavy part in Silvio's backstory in "World of Tomorrow", where Isabella is stated to have preferred them over him and was deeply affected by them running away from home, and childhood pictures of them are seen on the VHS tape.
- Identical Twin ID Tag: Judging by their images in "End of an Era", they have similar facial hair and clothing.
- The Ghost: They are mentioned a decent amount by staff and Silvio, but they don't appear in the game until "End of an Era" in Hitman 3, and even that is likely an oversight by the developers.
- The Runaway: Both of them ran away from home at a young age, leaving Silvio with Isabella.
Marcello Ray
A famous chef cooking for Caruso. He is trying to emulate Isabella's spaghetti.
- Jaded Professional: Before working for Caruso, Ray had opened several high-end restaurants. When the 2008 recession hit, he ended up becoming a catering chef, which he expresses immense disappointment about.
- Supreme Chef: Why Silvio hired him. He's a world famous chef known for his amazing food. Unfortunately for him, even he can't emulate Isabella's amazing spaghetti due to it merely being simple store bought sauce.
- Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: He takes any opportunity he can to badmouth Caruso, including to a housekeeper chiding him for smoking. Given Caruso's treatment of him, it's hard to find much fault in him.
Luigi and Mario Salvatore
Two plumbers that reside near the sewers.
- A Day in the Limelight: An escalation contract requires targeting the two of them specifically. You obtain a weapon based on their profession for completing this escalation. This series of levels puts far more focus on the duo than the level itself does.
- Easter Egg: What the two of them boil down to, due to being exclusive disguises well hidden in the level, serving as a Shout-Out to the Super Mario Bros franchise.
- Mugged for Disguise: Their disguises can be taken, and they are slightly more useful than your suit. Collecting both of them will contribute towards the chameleon achievement (which asks you to don all a levels' disguises).
- Shout-Out: Quite obviously to Mario and Luigi; they share the same coloured clothing, wear similar hats, mention getting coins from blocks and saving princesses, and have the same first names.
Craig "Rocco" McVeigh
A chef who is getting prepared for his first day at the Caruso mansion.
- Be Careful What You Wish For: If you're feeling especially cruel, you can push him off his balcony right after his sister demands he get down there this instant.
- Brutal Honesty: He's quite blunt about his opinions, referring to his soon to be boss as a rich asshole and telling a man who he thinks is Oscar Lafayette that he didn't understand his book.
- Call-Back: The screen for Hitman Sniper can be found on his laptop.
- The Cameo: He's based off a real life fan who got the high score on the Hitman Sniper pre-order mission from Absolution.
- Deadpan Snarker: He's got quite the dry wit at points, especially in regards to what 47 is wearing when he visits him.
- Developer's Foresight: No matter what outfit you wear when you knock on his door, he has some humorous dialogue based on what outfit 47 is donning.
- The Ditz: Scientist or not, he's far from the sharpest tool in the shed.
- Easter Egg: Ringing his doorbell wearing any number of suits has him say unique dialogue related to the outfit.
- Good Smoking, Evil Smoking: He is a heavy smoker, yet he seems like a decent person, laziness aside.
- Hidden Depths: He apparently used to be a scientist, a surprising revelation for a man who comes across as The Ditz during his appearance. Although, given what we see of him, it's just as likely he was some sort of test subject instead.
- Hypocritical Humor: He'll berate 47 for wearing revealing clothing if he dresses up as a cyclist, yet is in only his underwear.
- Informed Attribute: He seems like a total moron, yet was smart enough to once be a scientist.
- Lazy Bum: He never goes to his job despite it being his first day, instead deciding to lounge around his apartment in only his underwear.
- Mr. Fanservice: He's decent looking and spends the mission roaming around his apartment in his underwear.
- Mugged for Disguise: While he's not wearing it, his chef's outfit can be nabbed from his bed and used to infiltrate Silvio Caruso's mansion.
- Nice Guy: He's far more friendly than most of the comically terrible people in the hitman universe.
- "No. Just… No" Reaction: He just reacts with utter bewilderment if 47 dresses up as a street performer and marches up to his doorstep.
- Noodle Incident: His urine was once magnetic. Thankfully, this is never elaborated on.
- Only Known by Their Nickname: He's referred to as Rocco.
- Schmuck Bait: Visiting him while wearing a cook outfit will cause him to freak out, as he likely knows most of the other chefs in Sapienza.
- Self-Deprecation: The fan who won the cameo contest isn't portrayed in the most flattering light, to put it mildly.
- The Stoner: While it can't be found while trespassing in his apartment, he apparently has a stash of weed.
- Too Much Information: He'll randomly tell a stranger (47) that his piss turned magnetic last time he was a scientist.
- Unusually Uninteresting Sight: He doesn't bat an eyelid no matter what ridiculous outfits 47 wears when greeting him. Except the chef outfit.
Torres Piombo

Viana Buccho
Viana Buccho
Voiced By: Rochelle Greenwood
One of the Ether scientists working on the virus, currently mourning a colleague killed in a workplace accident.
- Accidental Murder: She caused a gas leak that poisoned one of her colleagues.
- My God, What Have I Done?: She's immensely upset over accidentally causing a gas leak that killed one of her co-workers and for her involvement in developing the virus. As a result, she has created a program that can destroy the virus remotely.
- Video Game Cruelty Potential: Unless an EMP mine is used, Viana must be knocked out or killed to obtain the dongle.
Orlando Zito
A cyclist trying to extort a delivery truck driver by exaggerating the injuries he sustained during being hit.
- Bad Liar: If 47 commits a crime near him, bumps into him, annoys him, or simply leaves him alone for a few minutes, he'll get up and run off, forgetting he's meant to be in "severe pain" in order to secure an insurance payout.
Umberto Megazzini
A street performer.
- Large Ham: As a performer, he's bound to be this.
- Mugged for Disguise: His outfit has no purpose whatsoever, but damn if 47 doesn't look hilarious in it.
Terenzio Endrizzi
Silvio's butler.
- Mugged for Disguise: His outfit can be worn by 47. It's not as useful as it sounds, as his sudden onset of baldness will be realised by almost everyone in a heartbeat.
Sapienza Bonus Missions
Sophia Wilde
Dino's manager.
- Hidden Disdain Reveal: She secretly hates Dino Bosco for how difficult he is to work for. She obviously can't express these feelings due to her professionalism, causing her to suffer in silence.
Francesca Palerma
A woman unsure of what her job is at the movie set.
- Tempting Fate: Asking a perfectionist with a famous Hair-Trigger Temper for help and revealing your ignorance about your role in the movie is a terrible, terrible idea. She finds this out the hard way.
Dr. Docciaborsa
A famous doctor at Marco's rally.
- Offscreen Moment of Awesome: He implanted a brain into a monkey and is a successful brain surgeon on people. This is never shown due to him being a minor character.
Monia Bellini
A struggling play writer at Marco's rally.
- Stylistic Suck: Her plays are apparently terrible, as they are quickly cancelled after only a few performances. Naturally, Abiatti seems to love them.
Prof. Antonio
A far left journalist who is at Abiatti's campaign.
- Cool Shades: He has them on during his appearance.
- Only Sane Man: While he may be a radical, he rightfully points out that Marco Abiatti's threat to beat the crap out of anti-corruption protestors is a violation of their freedom of speech. Naturally, Abiatti and his cronies dismiss this as "leftist BS."
Michele Delle Marche, Cristina Dionisi, Felix Merkl
The band playing for Abiatti.
- Bilingual Bonus: Their songs are rather bleak and intense despite being upbeat in their performance. Since it's Italian, unless you speak the language or can have it translated, this will go unrecognised.
- Soundtrack Dissonance: Songs with lyrics about death and obsession are terrible fits for upbeat and relaxing instrumentals.
Roberto Mulo
Marco's corrupt assistant.
- Hypercompetent Sidekick: He's great at performing his duties, surveying the entire rally grounds to gather information on guests and make sure no bald assassins are stirring up any trouble in the area.
- Strawman Political: He's as extreme politically as his boss.
Ghostly Fan
A Loony Fan obsessed with the Cassandra Snow novels.
- Loony Fan: He's obsessed with the novels, spending thousands just to attend the signings.
- Mugged for Disguise: His outfit can be worn to get close to Craig Black.
Mike Vogt
Voiced By: Alec Newman
A critic at the Sapienzese café , invited to Craig Blacks' book reading.- Brutal Honesty: He's rather blunt about how he feels about Black's novels and his prose, considering it to be "Dross" and "Amateur", and see's the lovers for Cassandra in the novels as "unthreateningly Caucasian".
- Caustic Critic: Very much so. Considering the worldwide phenomenon the books are later described as in Hitman 2, his views seem to be in the minority, even among fellow critics. On principle, he refuses to attend the book signing, despite having an invitation.
- Continuity Snarl: When "The Author" was added to Contracts Mode in Hitman 3, his name is listed as Marcello Schiavone, which is a bit strange as Diana has her identify him in the café as "Mike Vogt" when you come across him, and he's actually a prominent character with unique (and subtitled) dialogue in "The Author".
- Creator Cameo: His name is in reference to Michael Vogt, the lead writer for Hitman (2016). Michaels' surname was also used for the name of Sven Vogt, which Howard Moxon is waiting for in "The Broker" (the two characters appear to be unrelated, however).
- The Thing That Would Not Leave: He is the only person in the café (the waiters are cleaning up around him), and the waitress behind the desk just wants him to leave, instead of complaining about Cassandra Snow to her, at what is implied to be at great length already by the time you arrive.
Marrekesh: A Gilded Cage
Konny Engstrom
Konny Engstrom
Voiced By: Dave Hill
The Private Masseur stuck in the Swedish Consulate in Marrakesh.
- I Can't Hear You: Konny is speaking with his contact; Donald, on his phone. Turning on the TV nearby causes him to be unable to hear anything, promptly ending the call.
- Mugged for Disguise: 47 can take his place to offer a massage to Strandberg (and anyone else after this). Konny is also unique among NPC's in the trilogy in that 47 does not copy his hairstyle in any way, and going past people who otherwise know Konny will comment on him shaving his head.
- Not What I Signed Up For: He's trying to get out of massaging Strandberg, a wanted criminal, while stuck in a building besieged by protestors. His boss doesn't seem to care too much for his predicament.
- Oh, Crap!: When talking to Donald, he is nothing but terrified of the whole situation he's managed to find himself in. Unfortunately, Donald doesn't seem to care much for his predicament and leaves him hanging once he's interrupted.

Sayid Laham
Sayid Laham
Voiced By: Dave Fouquette
A soldier working for General Zaydan and a former close friend of his, who turned against him after his brother was killed during Strandberg's rescue. He is currently being kept prisoner inside an empty room in the school.
- Bag of Kidnapping: He has a grey bag over his head. It does not impede 47's vision in the slightest.
- Interestingly, the bag was initially absent in Hitman 3 on release, presumably so the mission could work with Playstation VR, but was re-added after fan complaints.
- Cruelty Is the Only Option: Sayid cannot be freed from the school, because if his body is found, he's immediately marked as a non-target kill.
- Mugged for Disguise: 47 can take his place to kill Zaydan as the latter berates the former.
- Rewarded as a Traitor Deserves: Zaydan intends on having him executed for his defection.
- The Stool Pigeon: He intended on whistleblowing Zaydan's plans after his brother was killed by his troops.
- The Faceless: Downplayed. He has a bag over his head when you visit him when tied to a chair, but knock him out, and take his disguise, and you get to see what he looks like.
- Treachery Is a Special Kind of Evil: Zaydan intends on having him killed for attempting to whistleblow. On the other hand, most of Zaydan's soldiers (who dislike him to begin with) are sympathetic to his situation
Erik Olander
Erik Olander

Tyler Clark
- Did Not Think This Through: Tyler was in such a rush to find a willing cameraman that he hires a local guy called "Finley" to film Strandberg for an interview. He instead runs off to the Shisha Cafe to brag to his friends as he, justifiably, doesn't want to go near Strandberg. Pam calls him out on this stupid idea.
- Hypercompetent Sidekick: He does his job splendidly, unlike Jeff Baker. It's clear Pamela appreciates his dedication to his work.
Jeff "Finley" Baker
- Cutting Off the Branches: Canonically, Jeff gets Mugged for Disguise by 47 to get close to Strandberg as "Club 27" has a pair of NPC characters outside the hotel bar reference the whole interview in full (Specifically mentioning the Precision F-Strike used by Strandberg to rile people up).
- Did Not Think This Through: Jeff brags about being given money by Tyler, the assistant at GNN to film Strandberg for an interview, but instead runs off to the Shisa Cafe in protest, as he has no intention of going near the guy.
- Failure Is the Only Option: Jeff will never visit the Swedish consulate to conduct the interview with Tyler and Pam, but canonically, he does get Mugged for Disguise by 47 to get close to Strandberg.
- Mugged for Disguise: 47 can (and canonically, does) dress up as Jeff to help Pam conduct the interview on Strandberg and get close to him.
Alden Riauff Hansson
A man who has been living in the consulate for almost a decade.
- Attention Whore: He's upset that Strandberg is getting more attention than him, lamenting about how nobody is talking about him and his actions.
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: A rather blatant one of Julian Assange. They're both whistleblowers living in government asylum. They're also both known as being quite the Attention Whore.
Ellinor Westrup
As seen in "A Gilded Cage" in Hitman (2016)
As seen in "The Farewell" in Hitman 3
Appearances: Hitman (2016) | Hitman 3
A former IAGO spy who has found out about Reza's activities- Foreshadowing: She's posted right next to the Shisa Den, and talks to someone called Audrey over the phone about leaving IAGO, and mentions to her that she was going to tell Dalia about the orchestrated breakout of Strandberg (the primary target of "A Gilded Cage") and that it's some kind of conspiracy to put the country in a military coup. Now that IAGO is gone, she wants to flee and focus on her career as a model instead.
- Honey Trap: What she was before IAGO was dismantled by the ICA at the request of MI6 back in Paris. IAGO were using fashion models as a way of infiltrating people of power and wrangling their secrets out of them; Ellinor is one such person. By the time the player meets her in Marrakesh, IAGO is gone, and she has decided to focus on her modelling career, and we next see her two games later in Mendoza as the girlfriend of an NPC called George Baker, dancing the tango on the dance floor.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: She's found out about the extent of Zaydan's activities and understandably wishes to flee IAGO and focus on her legitimate career as a model.
Zaki Diab
A fortune teller.
- Excellent Judge of Character: In "A House Built On Sand", he'll quickly recognise 47 for who he is and panic.
- Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: Some of his predictions are so eerie that it lends a bit of truth to the idea he may be an actual fortune teller. He's able to see through all of 47's disguises if 47 encounters him during "A House Built On Sand", something almost nobody else in the series has been able to achieve without intimately knowing 47.
Shuaib Ali
A protestor outside of the consulate.
- Large Ham: He frequently speaks in easy to repeat catchphrases and likes to shout to immerse the crowd in his speech. This is all pretty standard for a charismatic protestor, and it's causing quite a headache for Strandberg's guards who are trying to do damage control for him.
Hektor Lindberg
An intern who is starting his job at working at the consulate.
- Mugged for Disguise: His outfit can be worn by 47 to get access to Strandberg.
Nimr’ Arif Bahar
A landlord in Marakkech.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: His ceramics shop is no longer open by the time of 'a gilded cage' being replaced by a shoe shop that is being run by someone else. What exactly caused him to go out of business is never explained.
Hilda Berg
The former head of security at the consulate
- Only Sane Man: Well, only sane woman. She's one of the most vocal critics about their decision to host someone as notorious as Claus Strandberg. Since this action ends up causing 47 to break into the building, potentially causing irreparable harm to the consulate and it's workers, her concerns are entirely valid.
Shahin Abdul-Barr Maalouf
The headmaster of the school.
- Continuity Snarl: It's implied in "The Angel of Death" Elusive Target that Etta Davis killed him; the issue is that both Hitman 2 and Hitman 3 have specific references to the novel he was writing, either meaning he was Saved by Canon, or that this was an oversight; or that someone else took over writing his novels after he died, it's not made clear.
- Stylistic Suck: His novel idea is terrible, a thinly-veiled dramatization of the crisis in Marrakesh, although he is accidentally correct in what he writes is indeed happening in Marrakesh. His blurb makes it seem like awful Tom Clancy fanfiction. Downplayed in 3, as he's become famous for his books, though he's renamed the main character "Nick Sparta" to "Jack". A Mendoza partygoer plans to have Maalouf adapt the story of the Carlisle murder(s), with neither one aware that they are turning yet another one of 47's schemes into a Cassandra Truth.
Terry Strong
An owner of a shoe shop.
- Butt-Monkey: He's only had his shop for a small amount of time, and it's already been taken over by Zaydan and his goons.
Ms. Persson
- Broken Record: Rivals Dino Bosco in how much you'll hear her. Justified in that she's trying to get the masseuse, Konni Engstrom, to the desk.
- Oh, Crap!: She is not prepared for Strandberg's death, making an announcement to urge the employees not to disclose his death to the public just yet, and then quietly sobs before cutting the mic.
Irshaad Ismail, Ashraf Raghib Mustafa, Khaleel Rani Nahas and Khuzaimah Afeef Saliba
The printing crew.
- False Flag Operation: What they've been sent to do. They're meant to pose as Crystal Dawn and cause civil unrest to add credence to Zaydan's propaganda that he's hitting back against terrorism.
- Mugged for Disguise: All of their outfits can be worn to infiltrate the school and assassinate Zaydan.
Sebastian Krogh
A paranoid man talking to a fortune teller.
- Self-Made Orphan: Implied, as he's planning to murder his mother for her inheritance.

Abel De Silva
Abel De Silva
Voiced By: Matthew Gravelle
A New York indie drummer flown in by Monumental Records to replace The Class' previous drummer.
- Cutting Off the Branches: Dialogue between Heidi and Sierra Knox in Hitman 2 confirms that 47 did disguise as De Silva to get close to Cross, as he apparently had no recollection of actually drumming for the band.
- Identical Stranger: Not to Helmut Kruger's extent, but he bears enough of a resemblance to 47 (bar having a goatee and stubble) for him to be disguised as.
- Mugged for Disguise: His disguise can be taken to meet with Jordan Cross.
Keith McKenzie
Voiced By: Yuri Lowenthal
Appearances: Hitman (2016) | Hitman 3 (mentioned)
A Lawyer on holiday at the Himmapan Hotel, who works at the US Attorney's Office, South District.- Amoral Attorney: It's unclear just how immoral he is, though he's clearly more amoral than on the side of justice, as Keith mentions that the Attorney's office is merely a "stepping stone for him" so he can afford a better home in the Hamptons, and also agrees with how Morgan practices law, shutting down the notion of Ken being poison in the legal system.
- The Cameo: Keith is mentioned by Don Yates on a routine in Mendoza in Hitman 3 if Yates gets on a phone call.
- Karma Houdini: He actually seems to benefit in the grand scheme of the story. While his fate after the end of Hitman 3 is vague, he actually gives Morgan Yates and Kohn that call Ken suggested to him in Bangkok, and is reliable enough to make junior partner for Yates to rely on to cover up a hit-and-run.
- Noodle Incident: He recalls a previous court case he witnessed to Ken Morgan (whom was on the defense in said case), and mentions Ken's gambit to get a cheerleader off on Affluenza charges was a "stroke of genius".
- One-Steve Limit: No relation to Keith Keeble, the unfortunate victim of The Deceivers' Richard J. Magee.
Mrs. Mookjai
Mrs. Mookjai
Voiced By: Rochelle Greenwood
The manager of the Himmapan Hotel, where Jordan Cross is staying and thus an employee of Thomas Cross.
- Bad Boss: There are memos from her all over the hotel, most of which contain threats to fire the entire hotel staff for trivial errors. One of her notes threatens the entire staff with termination because one waiter got a pair of room-service orders mixed up.
- Nice to the Waiter: Inverted. She’s polite to Dexy Barat and Jordan Cross, but nasty to her underlings.
- No-Sell: Being the manager of the hotel, Mookjai will see through any hotel staff disguise 47 has.
Otis Kaplan
Otis Kaplan
Voiced By: Jeffrey Johnson
- Affably Evil: He is quite chatty and pleasant to be around. Morgan's conversations with him helps provides exposition.
- Ambiguously Evil: He is the bodyguard to an Amoral Attorney, but whether he has any other skeletons in his closet is never explained.
- The Ditz: Confuses a Football team for Cricket team. Ken is unamused by his comment.
- Mugged for Disguise: His disguise can be worn. It functions the same as the Hotel Security disguise, with the exception of Morgan seeing through it.
- You ALL Look Familiar: Otis' model isn't unique and is shared by several bodyguards throughout the trilogy. The outfit he's wearing is also identical to the generic bodyguard outfit seen in Sapienza.
Thomas Cross

Hannah Highmoore
Hannah Highmoore
Voiced By: Natalie Griffiths
A late actress and the daughter of Highmoore Consulting CEO John Highmoore and Jordan Cross' late girlfriend, who died a year prior to the events of the mission. Her family hires the ICA to kill Jordan and Ken Morgan, believing that the former had murdered her.
- Accidental Murder: Her death was the result of Jordan losing his temper after Hannah mentions his father.
- Car Cushion: The briefing for the "Club 27" mission shows this is how Hannah died.
- Chekhov's Gunman: Helmut Kruger indirectly mentions her death in "The Showshopper" when talking to Dalia, who wants him to infiltrate Highmoore Consulting.
- Hard-Drinking Party Girl: The media turned Hannah into one posthumously, suggesting that she was out of control during her death and made Jordan look sympathetic. Subverted when playing the audio tape, where it's revealed that she was fully sober when Jordan pushed her to death.
- Plot-Triggering Death: The reason the contract against Jordan and Morgan happens.
- Posthumous Character: Her death happened a year prior to "Club 27", but avenging her death is the main reason her family issued the contract.
- Railing Kill: Jordan pushed her off his penthouse's balcony.
- Your Mom: A snide comment about Thomas Cross resulted in Jordan snapping and killing her.Jordan: Don't... tell me... what to do do, Hannah!Hannah: Oh, right... That would be your father's domain.Jordan: SHUT UP! SHUT UP!
Wes Liston
The music recorder for Jordan Cross.
Jackie Carrington
Jackie is a 90's starlet as well as the person who put a hit on Kieran Hudson.
- Kick The Son Of A Bitch: Ordering a hit on someone is not a very nice thing to do, but the man she wants dead is a slimy douchebag who invades people's privacy like it's going out of style.
- Really Gets Around: She's sleeping with a member of The Class' sound crew, telling him that she's "not done yet". If she sees 47 at the bar, she'll offer him a tryst and give him his keycard. This grants access to a sound crew disguise and the MD-2 microphone.
- White-Dwarf Starlet: Discussed. She jokingly compares herself to Norma Desmond, although she's been able to get a potentially career-reviving role on a series because of her friend Holly.
Julian
A member of 'The Class' crew who is sleeping with Jackie.
- Mr. Fanservice: He's quite attractive and is seen in only his underwear. This makes it easier to take his outfit.
- Mugged for Disguise: While he isn't wearing it, it belongs to him and is rather useful, meaning it's slim pickings for 47 if he wants it.
Benjamin Bertram
A stalker obsessed with Heidi Santoro.
- Loony Fan: He's watching Heidi from the Emperor Suite's top floor, getting angry when any other man talks to her. His outfit features a graphic tee with Heidi's face on it. Judging by a phone call he gives, he's been caught stalking other celebrities before.
- Mugged for Disguise: His outfit may be the most useless in the level, as it makes 47 hostile everywhere.
Tarrin & Maelng
The bug exterminators working in the hotel.
- Mugged for Disguise: Their outfits can both be taken, and while they're not the most useful for travelling through the level, they'll provide some effective ways to eliminate Cross and Morgan in a silent and effective manner.
Colorado: Freedom Fighters
Finn Jacobs, Isaac Kay, Greg Barnes, Joshua Trumbo and Luke Poole
The hackers in Colorado.
- Mugged for Disguise: Their outfits can be taken, which makes travelling around the farmhouse a bit easier.
Lloyd Burgess
The pointman for the private militia.
- Dark Is Evil: He wears dark clothing and is working for a terrorist group.
- Mugged for Disguise: Due to almost all his face and body being obscured by his clothes, he can easily be impersonated by 47.
Bronson
The Helpless Herald
A herald for Providence being tortured in the basement.- Cold-Blooded Torture: What he's being subjected to by Ezra Berg, one of the main targets of "Freedom Fighters". He can only be killed by using an Easter Egg or a carefully placed explosive on the windowsill, meaning he's at Berg's mercy until his death.
- Foreshadowing: Bronson is being interrogated by Ezra with frequent drug doses in the basement of the house in Colorado, and this does get Ezra some answers. He describes "The Constant" as deliberately looking like a bookkeeper, but, much to Berg's frustration, appears to have no further knowledge to give on other aspects of Providence, such as the names of The Partners.
- I Have Many Names: Contracts Mode calls him William Candler, when his actual name, according to Michael Vogt (Hitman's lead writer), is Bronson. Considering his name is not directly mentioned with in-game dialog, this doesn't cause a Continuity Snarl either.
- Perp Sweating: He's tied to a chair, and routinely asked by Berg to disclose the names of The Partners of Providence, which he doesn't do, as it seems he genuinely doesn't know.
- Small Role, Big Impact: Bronsons' kidnapping and interrogation by Grey has the former let slip knowledge of The Constant; the first time such a name has been said in the series, and Berg also mentions The Partners (again, for the first time), both of whom we see much of later on in Hitman 2. Guards around the camp also mention that Berg got him to reveal how Providence works structurally, and without this information, Grey's attacks on Providence would've been much less effective.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: After the mission, his presence is not mentioned or clarified on in-game. He is mentioned several times in Mendoza, albeit under the name Bronson, a name fans were not aware of until
Word of God confirmed it multiple years later, and they also suggested that he was buried in the backyard of the house.
Robert Powell
The Cook for the militia.
- Lethal Joke Character: While his outfit shares the same use as the regular militia soldier disguise, doing so allows 47 to poison food without raising suspicion. This is useful for poisoning water bottles, as Burgess and Graves drink from them.
- Mugged for Disguise: His disguise can be taken, although it shares the same properties as the regular militia soldier disguise. The only difference is the ability to poison food.
- Team Chef: He cooks for all the soldiers, an impressive feat due to the large amount of soldiers at the compound.
Gustavo Torres
The Mexican Secretary of Interior who the militia intended to murder.
- Saved by Canon: He survives due to his assailants being murdered before they have a chance to attack him and is doing as well as he can (major life-ruining diplomatic scandal aside) in the present day.
Simon Deveraux
A paranoid and reclusive CEO of Biosphere.
- Irony: The weapon that was meant to kill him can be used to kill the person intending to kill him. He never gets to appreciate the irony due to not knowing about it.
- Saved by Canon: Sean Rose never got the chance to assassinate him with the smartwatch he ordered due to the Australian terrorist being killed before he could initiate the plan.

Dr. Nicholas Laurent
Dr. Nicholas Laurent
Voiced By: Matthew Gravelle
The chief surgeon at GAMA in Hokkaido in charge of Erich Soders' operation.
- Beware the Nice Ones: He is a very timid man, but he does have his limits. If you make him discover that he's trying to save the man who killed his father, he will kill Soders under the influence of hand stabilization drugs, which causes amplified rage.
- Consummate Professional: Even if it is revealed that Soders killed his father, he will continue operating on Soders regardless, even stepping out to assure an associate over the phone that he will still perform the surgery as if nothing happened. If you dose him up on his pills, though, that can all change...
- Deadly Doctor: If he finds out that Erich Soders killed his father, he will "accidentally" kill him during the operation, provided that he's all drugged up.
- Death by Irony: If the player wants, his death can be made to look like an accident, exactly like he did to Soders.
- Dramatic Irony: He's trying to save the man that murdered his father. This can be averted if the truth is revealed to him.
- Functional Addict: He needs to take pills on a regular basis to prevent his hands from shaking. Luckily he has a drug dealer at the hospital. This can be turned against him to either knock him out or to cause a drug-fueled rage that would make him kill Erich Soders.
- Good Counterpart: To Ito. They're both doctors who are on drugs to help keep them stable during their work. While Ito uses his position to harvest organs while staying under suspicion, Laurent tries to stay legitimate throughout his work. Ito targets people indiscriminately while Laurent will only kill Soders if it's revealed that Soders is his father's murderer.
- Heroic BSoD: Suffers this big time if Erich Soders died, even if he's responsible for it.
- Make It Look Like an Accident: He can dispose of Soders this way if it's revealed that Soders murdered his father. This makes the death come across as medical malpractice rather than the murder it really is.
- Mugged for Disguise: His outfit can be taken in order for 47 to "complete" the operation himself.
- My God, What Have I Done?: His reaction to murdering Erich Soders himself could be this, as he will leave the operating theater and lean on a railing, depressed over what happened.
- Never Suicide: Laurent's father was the victim of this, being killed in this way by Soders. He can also become a victim of this, if 47 feels like throwing him off the railing after he kills Soders.
- Nice Guy: He is cordial to people around him and treats KAI like a person, having regularly conversations with her. Even after finding out that Erich Soders murdered his father, he refuses to get revenge for the sake of his career and doing what he feels is right. This completely drops, however, once he is high on drugs.
- Odd Friendship: He is good friends with KAI, a friendly artificial intelligence.
- Pay Evil unto Evil: What he can potentially do to Soders, killing the traitor in a purposely botched operation.
- Vengeance Feels Empty: He seems to have this opinion after killing Erich Soders.
- Video Game Cruelty Potential: Making him kill Soders will inevitably ruin his career and potentially have him arrested for murder if it can be proven in court. This is a rather cruel fate for a man who has just been shown an extremely traumatic revelation. You can also follow it up by pushing Laurent over a railing while he laments his actions, making the whole event appear to be a Murder-Suicide.
- You Killed My Father: Erich Soders killed Laurent's father twenty years earlier, so naturally you can arrange for the doctor to find out and kill him.
KAI
KAI
Voiced By: Naoko Mori
An artificial intelligence that controls most of the GAMA hospital.
- Artificial Intelligence: One of the world's most advanced.
- A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Some of the hospital staff firmly believe KAI is this, however it's averted in the game unless 47 deliberately sabotages KAI to invoke this, after which they starts spouting off creepy nonsense, weird laughter and even weirder facts. The primary reason to sabotage her is to make the operating table go berserk should you activate the procedure.
- Benevolent A.I.: KAI is quite friendly and will fix any attempts to tamper with medical procedures/equipment unless you sabotage or outsmart it. It even suggests the lead surgeon to try his pickup lines on it.
- Chekhov's Gunman: It's developed by Kronstadt Industries, which will play a major role in the sequel.
- Cloudcuckoolander: Once tampered with, KAI will mumble nonsensical phrases."Why yes, Mr. Magpie. It is a lovely day for a picnic."
- Developer's Foresight: Tampering with KAI will still have her send her usual hospital-wide announcement to Jason Portman and is re-recorded to be in her "corrupted" voice. This is quite notable because unless you've played most of the level to unlock the surgery starting location (or know how to get to KAI fast enough to sabotage her, which also necessitates knowing the level fairly well), this corrupted version of the voice line is not likely to be heard by most people, as you still require a keycard/ scrambler/ directors disguise to access KAI, with all but the middle option not being easy to get to.
- There's no real reason to tamper with KAI in "The Snow Festival", but her dialog is unchanged if you happen to do so (including the above quote, further putting it into this trope).
- Dissonant Serenity: Her polite Machine Monotone never falters, even when she realizes she's being attacked. The worst she does is politely point out that tampering with her systems could result in a severe legal action from her creators.
- Enter Solution Here: Tampering with KAI requires knowing the sequence of how to shut her down. Removing any one rack has her force a reboot, while showing the correct sequence on her screen, which corresponds to the server racks in the room. Accidentally pulling the wrong rack electrocutes 47.
- Fun with Subtitles: When KAI rattles off Mouthful of Pi when tampered with, the subtitles also show the numbers KAI is saying, which the devs really didn't need to do as such a number is known for being unwieldly, long and hard to remember by anyone that hasn't got a degree in mathematics. Naturally, the devs listed it out of courtesy to deaf people, so they too could enjoy the Easter Egg.
- Innocently Insensitive: Frequently weirds out Dr. Laurent with some of the things she says, which are mostly cases of either My Sensors Indicate You Want to Tap That or its inability to understand human social customs.
- Machine Monotone: Speaks with a robotic, drawling Japanese accent at all times, even when going haywire.
- Master Computer: The thing is quite important for the hospital, especially in surgeries, as it can fix any "errors" that 47 causes to the equipment.
- Mouthful of Pi: While sabotaged, KAI can decide to start slowly counting off one-million digits of pi. However, she eventually stops short of one-hundred digits, determining that, "pi is boring."
- Puzzle Boss: While sabotaging it down is not necessary, it requires a certain strategy. Reaching it requires either the hospital director's disguise, the master keycard or one disposable scrambler. Then you need to pull out 4 pieces of it in a certain order or you get shocked. Fortunately, pulling the wrong one forces it to reboot, during which you can see the correct sequence to destroy it. Successfully pulling all 4 pieces in the right order shuts it down for the rest of the level.
- Robosexual: She makes some odd advances on Dr. Laurent, after finding out that he's been recently divorced. She offers to help him practice dating, much to his discomfort.
- Shout-Out:
- Her single eye, polite Machine Monotone and the need to enter her server room to sabotage her and the Hokkaido hospital systems invokes HAL-9000. After being tampered with, her eye even turns red.
- There's an Easter Egg in which you can find her prototype, Ayakashi, a Wheatley-esque Cloud Cuckoolander AI who is confined to a spherical, metal construct reminiscent of the Aperture Science Personality Cores.
- Some of KAI's ramblings are direct references to specific things:
- Pulling out the third rack makes KAI state where she was made and who made her, as well as telling 47 a joke that "father" taught her. This is in reference to a similar scene with similar dialog in 2001: A Space Odyssey, where HAL-9000 does the same thing when Dave takes out his memory chips.
- Another ramble is her referencing the Poem "Tyger Tyger, Burning Bright"
which is all about a person wondering who created the Tyger in question, which is thematically appropriate for an AI to spout out. KAI even gets goosebumps reading it out loud. - KAI also sings a good chunk of Johann Strauss II's "Blue Danube Waltz", which is also associated with 2001: A Space Odyssey
- During her haywire rambling, she alludes to Portal's cake meme:
“Are you the party planner? I am sixty-five-million seconds old today. Oh, I hope there will be cake! There will be cake, won't there? I was promised, you see. If there is no cake, I really do not think I could bear it.”
Dr. Katashi Ito (The Curator)
Dr. Katashi Ito
Voiced By: Oliver Cotton
The chief mortician at GAMA, who uses the morgue as a front for organ harvesting.
- Affably Evil: Ito is soft-spoken and enthusiastic about his job and encourages his assistant after he expresses desire to work full-time at the hospital. This is despite the fact he runs an organ harvesting ring and is likely going to cut up Agent Smith.
- Asshole Victim: After all he's done, it's hard to feel sorry for him if 47 sets the stage for him to be Driven to Suicide.
- Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Ito is bipolar and clearly has a few screws loose, yet is excellent at outsourcing trafficked organs and is an effective mortician.
- Cloudcuckoolander: When he's drugged up, he refers to the organs as his babies and gets into personal talk with them. In addition, he constantly sings "Hallelujah" while gleefully running around the organ fridge.
- Creepy Mortician: Not only is he involved in organ harvesting, he's overly enthusiastic about his job and acts as if the organs are his children.
- Deadly Doctor: Well, deadly mortician. He uses his occupation to kidnap people and harvest their organs.
- Driven to Suicide: Should his dosage be decreased, he will proceed to head to the railings of the zen garden and jump to his death. One of the challenges involves drugging him again to prevent this.
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Disturbingly enough, he feels this for the organs he harvests, who he sees as children, should his dosage be ramped up enough.
- Evil Counterpart: To Laurent. They're both a Functional Addict who also happen to be very good at their jobs. While Laurent will be driven to kill Soders if the truth about his father's death is revealed, Ito is evil from the get go.
- Expy: Of Malcolm Sturrock. They're both psychopaths who hide in the background of the level they appear in, drastically changing the tone of the mission when encountered due to being far more depraved than the main targets. While sneaking past or murdering Sturrock is required to complete the mission, Ito can be completely avoided with no penalty.
- Four Eyes, Zero Soul: He has glasses and is a murderer and organ harvester. While he does show kindness to his fellow doctors, it does little to detract from how depraved his actions are.
- Functional Addict: To an extent. He's extremely reliant on his neurochip-delivered medication, lest he go insane, but he still is able to carry out his job as a mortician to an impressive extent. If his dosage is lessened, he will start acting erraticaly, doing completely abnormal things that go far beyond what someone with only Bipolar disorder would be capable of. Whether this is his true personality or a strange form of withdrawl is unknown.
- Hidden Villain: He's extremely evil, but his crimes will do undiscovered by most players, due to his storyline being completely optional.
- Japanese Politeness: A very dark version of this. He's Japanese, and despite his monstrous actions, he's got impeccable manners and is rather friendly to those around him.
- Karma Houdini: Since he's not a target, he likely gets away with all his crimes. You can kill him, though there's no incentive for doing so other than a lot of extra dialogue.
- Mood-Swinger: Suffers from Bipolar Disorder, so he has a neurochip implanted in his brain that can be used to alter his mood. This can be used to kill him.
- Mushroom Samba: Increasing his dosage will cause him to go into this.
- Obviously Evil: Most people covered in blood with a stern and sinister expression aren't up to any good. Ito is no exception.
- Organ Theft: The operation he runs out of GAMA's morgue. He obtained Soders' heart transplant from a poor Brazilian.
- Serial Killer: Heavily implied, as he's already got someone trapped in his morgue who he is planning to harvest. It is likely this isn't the first time he's held someone captive for this reason.
- Soft-Spoken Sadist: He generally keeps a calm and personable tone, even when ranting to the organs he has harvested.

Akira Nakamura

J. Brooke
The yoga instructor at GAMA, whose schedule has been completely filled up by Yuki Yamazaki.
- Mugged for Disguise: 47 can disguise as Brooke to begin Yamazaki's yoga session.
- Oh, Crap!: He's rightfully panicked about avoiding doing yoga with Yamazaki because of his leg injury.
- Out Sick: He's unable to attend his yoga lessons with Yamazaki because he strained his leg trying a difficult yoga pose. He attempts to get his little brother to help him get out of work, to no avail.

Patient Zero
Jeff
Jeff
Voiced By: Timothy Watson
A former member of Liberation.
- Butt-Monkey: Losing your girlfriend to a death cult and eventually dying of the virus that killed your girlfriend designates you as a butt monkey. Fortunately, the last option can be prevented by 47. His presence in Hitman 3's featured contracts for when the Sapienza and Bangkok Patient Zero maps were added to contracts mode, and two of them ("Ludonarrative Diossonance", "Cult Classic") involve killing Jeff, while the final contract ("Dexter Denoument") is about saving him.
- Contrived Coincidence: He can appear in all four of the Patient Zero camapigns' missions (the third being a restricted paramilitary compound) if you save him from committing suicide, see Death Seeker below.
- Death Seeker: He will be seen grieving his girlfriend's suicide in "The Author", eventually running off a cliff at midnight. Stop him from doing that and he'll inexplicably be in Colorado, where he'll attempt to set himself alight with an oil drum. Save him from that and he'll appear in "Patient Zero" as a content person walking around the facility and a letter in his room notes that a "heavenly angel" is looking out for him and so he has decided to not to end his life.
- Driven to Suicide: You can find Jeff in "The Author", sitting on a bench and looking depressed. You can read a suicide note next to him, where he mourns the loss of his girlfriend to Nabazov's cult. If you hang around him for a while, Jeff will get up, run to the cliff screaming and jump off. He'll then attempt to set himself alight with oil during "The Vector". Should he end up being infected by the virus in "Patient Zero", he'll jump off the railings of the hospital's garden.
- Embarrassing Tattoo: Follow him into his room in "The Source" after his fight with Rebecka and he'll call up a tattoo removal service to remove the cult symbol on his forehead.
- Failure Is the Only Option: Regardless of how events play out in Bangkok, Rebecka is canonically killed by the death cult in Bangkok, as revealed in the following mission; "The Author", where Jeff is mourning her in a bench in the main square of Sapienza. No matter if you save Jeff and Rebecka by pacifying them in Bangkok, only Jeff will be present.
- Genre Savvy: Seems to be the only person in the level who realises Oybek is an evil bastard.
- Hammerspace: In "Patient Zero", he can conceal and carry battle axes, katanas and other large objects on him, something 47 cannot do in 2016 (as he cannot hold more than two large objects, neither of which can be concealed), but which requires the briefcase to pull off in 2 and 3 (but only one large item can be concealed).
- Hawaiian-Shirted Tourist: Wears a crimson and white Hawaiian shirt in all of his appearances, even on a snowy mountain in Hokkaido.
- Pet the Dog: If you save his life twice and make sure he doesn't get the virus, Jeff regains his will to live and becomes a much happier person.
- Only Six Faces: He shares his face model and shirt with a bunch of the male NPCs from Sapienza, minus the cult's christening symbol on the forehead.
- One-Shot Character: He only appears in the Patient Zero campaign as an NPC who loses his girlfriend to ritualistic suicide and attempts to join her in the afterlife to be with her. Its oddly dark and touching for a NPC whose sole purpose is to give you a cult disguise.
- Video Game Caring Potential: Saving his life in each level leads to his story having a happy ending and him regaining his will to live.
The Sarajevo Six Exclusive NPC's
Caroline Stubbs
- Foil: To Simone Larin, Sergei Larins' wife from The Forger Elusive Target. Simone hates his husband, and it's strongly implied that she put the hit out on him for this reason, while here, Caroline has nothing but love for her husband, is understanding of his secrets, and even when she starts putting the pieces together as to who he really is, she doesn't try and break up with him.
- Happily Married: To John Stubbs, even when the latter starts acting weird.
- I Know You Know I Know: She starts getting suspicious of John in Bangkok when he gets coy with what happened to his friends, coupled with the money he has, and while John continues to lie to her, she outright tells him that "I think I know".
The Writer
- Crazy-Prepared: Stubbs asks him that, if he dies or goes missing, that the book is to be published, no matter what.
- Ghost Writer: For John Stubbs, who wants to write a book about his escapades in SIGMA. One of the issues he has with Stubbs is a section about "Riga", which Stubbs explains the events of to help them write the book.
- No Name Given: John Stubbs calls him "Will" (which is usually short for William) in their conversation when they meet up, but his full name is never revealed.
Elusive Target Exclusive NPC's
Simone Larin
Wife of the Sergei Larin; A.K.A The Forger.
- Awful Wedded Life: It's implied she put a hit on her husband for this reason, as his arrogance and embezzlement was causing an immense amount of stress for her and her family.
- The Ghost: She isn't seen in the briefing of the mission where she is namedropped, merely mentioned as having a "excellent" alibi by Diana.
- Plausible Deniability: Out of Paris for a few days, Diana says that she has an "excellent" alibi, implying she's the one who put the hit out on her husband.
- A Plot in Deed: She's the real owner of the Palais De Wawlesca, and with her husband out of the picture, she can claim the deed for the palace as hers alone.
Bartholomew Argus's Manager
- False Friend: Despite Argus having some remorse for his actions of throwing Tommy "The Hammer" Stoakes under the bus, a genuine friend of his in the past, this guy just tries to make him forget about the incident, as if it never affected him, and the dialogue suggests it's working.
- Manipulative Bastard: He only see's Argus as a "meal ticket"; I.E, a way of making himself more famous, rather than Argus, which would explain why he's so interested in calming Argus down.
- No Name Given: He isn't given a name in-game (Argus just calls him "Mate" and other similar friendly words when referring to him). Internally, his name is listed as "Alvaro Lombardo".
"The Hammer"
Tommy Stoakes
Tommy "The Hammer" Stoakes in his natural habitat.
Former friend of Elusive Target Bartholomew Argus, and London Gangster through and through.- Et Tu, Brute?: He was stabbed in the back by Argus when illicit drugs were found in the formers' car, and Argus escaped from prosecution by the police. Now that Tommy's out of jail, guess who hired you to take out Argus?
- The Ghost: He's only seen from behind in the briefing, but he's an important part of it, being the one that put the hit on his former partner in crime because he went to jail when Argus should've done.
- London Gangster: He very much looks the part, given his briefing photo, and examplified by the threatening hammer he wields. His list of crimes also match his reputation (Assault, Malingering, Threats with Intent etc.)
- Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Someone who uses the pseudonym "The Hammer" is not exactly going to be a nice person.
- One-Steve Limit: Averted. Spencer Green, a minor character found in Whittleton Creek in Hitman 2, is also referred to as "The Hammer."
- They Call Him "Sword": Is called "The Hammer", and very clearly uses one, too.
Gonzáles Narváez
Dylan's brother. It's likely he's responsible for putting the hit on him.
- Cain and Abel: Almost certainly the Cain, as it's all but stated he hired 47 to kill his brother.
- Non-Standard Game Over: Killing him instantly fails the mission, likely due to the client either being him or someone close to him.
Gary Cole
Gary Cole
Voiced By: Gary Cole
A Hollywood actor. He was set to film an advertisement with Gary Busey, but the latter's antics have complicated matters and frustrated him.
- As Himself: Gary Cole is played by the real Gary Cole.
- One-Steve Limit: Averted. He shares his first name with co-star Gary Busey. The two were part of a online poll where people voted for which one to kill, with Cole losing this dubious honor. He still shows up and has a conversation with him, but is otherwise not the person you kill.
Whitecap
A fellow hacker working with Owen Wagner (The Hacker).
- Affably Evil: Him and Wagner are great friends, joking around and having a fun time as they hack into classified documents and cause an irreparable amount of damage to the security of corporation databases.
- Only Known by Their Nickname: Unlike Wagner, White Cap isn't known by any real name.
Kalu Oijofor
Adeze's son.
- Dating What Daddy Hates: Well, what mommy hates. His girlfriend is a British woman from a wealthy family who he happens to be madly in love with. His mom disagrees, and wants to have her killed to make a point to her son.
Chef Bernard
One of the chefs at the Himmapan Hotel, one who is making several of the dishes for Wen T'sai (The Food Critic) to enjoy.
- Oh, Crap!: He initially doesn't believe who he's serving food too...until T'sai goes to the kitchens to inspect the place, and he's caught off-guard.
- Right Behind Me: Makes the mistake of insulting Wen T'sai as he walks into the kitchens. The sous-chef does try to warn him, but Chef Bernard ignores him, and Wen tells him off.
Lucas Thorvaldsson
Lucas Thorvaldsson
Voiced By: Alec Newman
The Courier
The courier meeting up with Xander Haeverfoek and another third-party to secure a bag of diamonds in Marrakesh.He appears as a crucial part of "The Fixer" Elusive Target.
- No Name Given: His name is never stated out loud, though given the covert nature of the operation, that makes sense. The in-game briefing for "The Fixer" names the courier "Lucas Thorvaldsson".
- No Fair Cheating: As mentioned under Developer's Foresight, the game has multiple measures in place in order for players to follow a specific path, even if they know how the mission works ahead of time. The Courier will never go to the handoff if you wait nearby, he will intentionally make their routine longer if you're spotted tailing them, and killing the handoff marketeer, Xander, or the courier too early will cause an instant failure to the mission — A mission that isn't able to be replayed. A common reason for failing is because players kill the courier too early, thinking they can cheese the mission, which doesn't work here.
- Properly Paranoid: Part of the mission of The Fixer is tailing him to find the handoff marketeer.
- Sinister Shades: Like Xander, he wears a pair of sunglasses, mostly due to the heat, but also because he's trying to be undercover.
- Spy Speak: Like Xander, he speaks like this constantly, and refers to a non-existent football match supposedly going on and placing bets on who will win. This is continued with the marketeer handoff, and can also lead into an extended conversation of the marketeer not understanding the courier.
- Stalking Mission: Half of the mission he appears in is this. If he suspects he's being tailed, then they will always double-back or make their path longer.
- What the Hell Is That Accent?: His voice is vaguely Serbian-sounding, in fact it's almost the same as Vito Đurić (with whom they share that same VA).
- Who Writes This Crap?!: If Xander and the courier meet, the courier may lampshade the weird dialog:Courier: Thanks. Who came up with this anyway?!
