History Characters / HitmanVideoGameAllies

* KickTheSonOfABitch: One opportunity in his first appearance involves knocking him out and putting on his bandages to pretend to be him. Considering he threatens to make 47 disappear for supposedly stealing his idea, it's hard to feel guilty about doing so.

* {{Blackmail}}: Some NPC dialogue indicates he either has some sort of drug issue or stole a fashion design in school. Whichever one it is, it's something Viktor is dangling over his head and forcing him to design for the show.

** He clearly hates the designs he was forced to do for the event and Novikov threatens to destroy his career unless he does exactly what he's told. Heck, Novikov will yell at him if he finds Sato vomiting in a trash can.

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Her first part of the routine you hear is a spiel about what guests are allowed near the recording studio. Her last sentence is ''"Any other questions, ask the internet"'', which sounds pretty ridiculous for her to say to two professional bodyguards, so it's likely a subtle TakeThat towards players looking up level hints online.

* ButtMonkey: In "Situs Inversus", he [[MuggingTheMonster chastises 47 for looking like Kruger]] and can be knocked out after his facial surgery, leaving his face swollen and bruised. In "The Ark Society" he is seen being blocked access in going upstairs by some guards. In "Golden Handshake", one of his companies; "Much Talk", is mentioned being in the middle of a scandal. In "The Last Resort", he appears in person, where one of the stories requires you to knock him out or make him sick. There's even a challenge for eliminating him called "Disrupt Portman". There's no in-game justification for it and the challenge only exists so you can screw over the poor guy once more. Even the challenge text bluntly reads "Just get rid of him."

* WomenAreWiser: In ''Blood Money'', she works out that 47 probably wants to go down with guns-a-blazin' and sedates him before he does something dumb.

* {{Catchphrase}}:

* AnticlimaxBoss: A bullet or two and he's down for the count, just like any target. He doesn't even carry a gun.

* IHaveYourWife: With the power in th building cut, 47 can't rendezvous with his friend Sister Mary in the basement. Unfortunately, Wade ends up capturing Victoria in the confusion and then orders Sister Mary killed (as her usefulness is over).

* AffablyEvil: She's charming, polite, has a good sense of humor, and has proven time and again to be a loyal ally to 47. She also just so happens to be the handler of one of the most notorious assassins in the world who isn't afraid for her and 47 to get their hands dirty.

** The original Diana was envisioned as a middle-aged English woman, something which has remained one of the two constants of her character. In ''Blood Money'' we don't see much of her face due to her hat, but she has a slender and younger-looking body, and officially became MsFanservice in ''Absolution''. In the ''World of Assassination'' trilogy, her design strikes a middleground; she's far more older and mature-looking and modestly dressed than previously depicted, wearing a blue and gold coat, but isn't ugly by ''any'' respects of the imagination, due to sharing a resemblance to her current VA; Creator/JanePerry.
** Her younger self seen in the ''Agent 47: Birth of the Hitman'' comic depicts her with long hair and wearing long dresses initially, instead of the bob-cut hairstyle and DorkInASweater look ''Hitman 2'' later depicts. The comic appears to take inspiration from Absolutions' ICA Files, and ''2'' likely changed her design to avoid comparisons to Victoria.

** Diana devises "Opportunity" elimination methods in ''Hitman 2016'' when 47 finds a useful bit of information to work with, and she suggests a method of elimination. Some of them, such as tampering with a clock to set off a target's OCD and render them vulnerable, or taking the place of a famous fashion model to get a target alone, [[ComplexityAddiction can get a bit convoluted]].
** The final issue of ''Birth of the Hitman'' has her meeting with 47 to get him to join the [=ICA=] after 47 killed five of the ICA's agents, as well as the target they both happened to share, and Diana simply needed to have him on the ICA's roster because of that skillset. Her gambit involved holding a grenade with her finger in the pin, threatening to blow up the bar they're in, which 47 is intrigued by, and hears her out, taking the ICA's card, and the rest is history.
* BatmanGrabsAGun: Averted for the most part in the games, but she does wield a pistol in ''Birth of the Hitman'' intending to use it on an employee of Blue Seed in Issues 2 and 3. Instead, Diana opts to use it as a bargaining tool to get information on who was responsible for her Parents' death [[TheUnreveal (not that it works)]]. Later on in Issue 5, she's forced to bring guns in order to go after the last remaining head of Blue Seed Pharmaceuticals; Cheryl Franklin, as a last stand to destroy the companys' heads. However, she notably relies more on melee attacks, and when using guns, she aims for the legs and feet of guards, incapacitating them, and never outright killing anyone, its only until Eric Soders turns up, who kills them for her.

* CloningBlues: His shortened life span weighs heavily on him and is the reason that drives him to obtain a sample of 47's bone marrow.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Once Travis makes the money drop, Dexter immediately caps "Victoria" in the head, revealing Mrs. Cooper -- still wearing her gimp suit underneath the blouse and skirt. This almost causes Travis, a man of sturdy stomach, to lose his lunch.

* LegitimateBusinessmensSocialClub: The exact address of the Asylum is a little unclear, but Otto's letters in [=H:C47=] would seem to place it in Satu Mare. Since this is a heavily-populated area, it follows that he'd pose as a therapist to stay under the radar.

* DragonTheirFeet: With the potential exception of Sister Yuldez (who dies in the same level as Nabazov and can be killed before or after him), all of the targets in the cult continue their operations after you've already killed Nabazov, with hunting down and assassinating them before they can spread the virus being the goal of the rest of the Patient Zero campaign.

* SadClown: While he's a bit of a goof in the other missions, coming off as a HenpeckedHusband. Orson is notably more depressed and sad in "Shadows in the Water" about the then-recent murder of his girlfriend Alma Reynard (whom 47 kills in "Nightcall"), and is trying to get over her death. When he talks about to it to the other militia, he sounds surprisingly heartbroken, showing that he really did love her, even if he was a bit of ditz around her.

* StockholmSyndrome: [[spoiler:Some of the Heralds in "The Farewell" suspect this is why he defected to Providence]].

* HeadTurningBeauty: In the scene where Cayne offers Diana "a very special position" in The Franchise, the camera pans down to his wheelchair, which swivels in her direction. Schwing!

A group of terrorists and mercenaries founded by Lucas Grey (aka the Shadow Client) and led by him alongside several key lieutenants; the most recent being [[BlackandNerdy Olivia Hall]], following [[spoiler:the deaths of both [[CoDragons Sean Rose and Wazir Kale]]]]. After their allies were also killed, they were forced to secretly allign themselves with [[VillainProtagonist Agent 47 & Diana]] in their now clandestine war against [[NebulousEvilOrganisation Providence]].

* YouKilledMyFather: 47 and Grey killed her parents when she was a young girl, something they did on the orders of Providence and The Institute. [[spoiler:When she finds this out at the end of Hitman 3's Dartmoor's mission, she sounds confused on what she's looking at (the contract for their assassination), and come Mendoza, she lulls 47 into a false sense of security at the start of the mission, poisons 47 with a neurotoxin via touch, and delivers him to Edwards. This itself is a TrojanHorseGambit, as Edwards is otherwise untraceable, so she puts up an angry front to fool Edwards' lackeys, and fully intended for 47 to finish him off. And after all is said and done, she contacts 47 again, clearly forgiving him for the killings and start working freelancer not long after; After all, ([[TrappedInVillainy it's not like Grey or 47 had a choice back in 1989.]])]].
