History Characters / HitmanBloodMoney

* CorruptCorporateExecutive: A fairly realistic example of such. He committed his atrocities by accident while trying to save money and he ended up going to court for it; likewise, hiring the best lawyers in the country only ended up sending him nosediving into bankruptcy.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: His wife, who he still adores and his niece, who he employees as his secretary. Of course, since Clarence is nothing but bad luck for anyone associated with him, his wife finally tires of his constant excuses and divorces him about halfway through the mission; his niece isn't so lucky. Though you're able to spare his niece, if you really want to.

* FootDraggingDivorcee: The Swing King's wife is sending over divorce papers for him to sign. A now-totally delusional Clarence tells her he won't sign them and believes his wife will take him back once the park "reopens" and his fortune is restored. After distracting the two guards with the coin, you enter a theatre in which a bound and blindfolded divorce lawyer is about to be burned alive by one of Scoop's men.

* PyrrhicVictory: All charges against him were cleared and he avoided jailtime, but his park was shut down and the lawsuits cost him his entire fortune. By the time the game begins, he's barely scraping by, he's completely at the mercy of a gang that doesn't need to pay him, his wife has left him and he's a crying miserable wreck with no future. And the father of one of his victims ''still'' wants Clarence dead, prompting a master assassin to come for him.

* AffablyEvil: Comes across as personable and witty in public interviews and can be seen warmly embracing his son as he gets off his seaplane at the start of the mission. He's also got a good sense of humour and is mentioned to be a very personable and friendly man by those who know him. Despite his horrendous crimes, his death is met with absolute sadness.

* FatalMethodActing:[[invoked]] The rehearsal of ''Tosca'' is conducted during the mision, though only the execution scene of act 3, in which Alvaro's character dies. Replacing the actor playing the executioner means you can walk around with the WWI pistol unholstered if you want to and take his place. In the opera, Scarpia never intended to let Cavaradossi live; his plan was always to execute Cavaradossi, he gets the last laugh from the grave. Just like 47 does in the game.

* {{Retcon}}: In ''Contracts'' the tenor was named Philippe Berceuse.

* ViewersAreGeniuses: Substituting the prop gun makes his death very similar to the plot of ''Tosca.''

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Despite what a monstorous scumbag he is, his love for Alvade seems to be genuine. He is absolutely gutted if his paramour is killed and remains inconsolable for the rest of the mission.

* HoneyTrap: Having already fallen victim to one of these courtesy of Lorne de Haviland, Chad can find himself the victim of yet another honey trap if 47 decides to spike his drink; in the aftermath of the tryst that follows, Bingham Jr will invariably left alone and ripe for the fibre wire - or, if you want to MakeItLookLikeAnAccident, a tumble over the balcony railing.

* DepravedBisexual: Skip Muldoon, a redneck drug smuggler who is sleeping with several male pursers aboard his riverboat, while also having an incestuous affair with his niece. He'll chase you around if you're dressed as a purser.

* SinisterSweetTooth: A drug smuggler and gang leader who's been carrying on with an incestuous affair with his niece (possibly sans her consent, he's also noted to have a taste for baked goods, especially cake: one of the easiest ways of getting close enough to kill him is to deliver a cake to Muldoon's office - either poisoned, concealing a weapon, or both.

* ConspiracyTheorist: Believes black helicopters murdered his brother. He can be seen rambling about this in front of his brother's conveniently open grave.

* EccentricMillionaire: John "Pappy" [=LeBlanc=] is the leader of the Blue Crabs drug syndicate and one of Mississippi's richest men, with one resident claiming his net worth was over $400 million. The married couple is set to inherit a wealthy fortune from Pappy who’s now become somewhat of a reclusive. He moves about the grounds in a daze with nothing else to do but mutter conspiracy theories to himself.

* AmoralAfrikaner: One of the targets in "A House of Cards" is Hendrik Schmutz, a South African white supremacist who wants to trade DNA research for blood diamonds.

* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Naturally, being a white supremacist. This doesn't stop him from doing business with people who aren't white, however, as can be seen by his willingness to cut a deal with two Arabs (somewhat TruthInTelevision, the Nazis were perfectly happy to negotiate with the various Middle Eastern kingdoms as equals [[EnemyMine due to shared political interests]]).

* GlassCannon: Even with increased health, she's not ''that'' tough and can be brought down with a single headshot. However, she'll OneHitKill you if she hits you with her sword.

* KillAndReplace: If you look behind the couch in the room she lures you into, you'll find the stashed body of the real sex worker that ? took the place of. However, unlike Eve, it seems ? has some scruples as the girl appears to only be unconscious instead of dead.

* HowTheMightyHaveFallen: Joseph "Swing King" Clarence is a desperate man trying to rebuild his reputation. It's just a shame that in getting off scot-free, he obviously rubbed one of the victim's families the wrong way. 47 has come to put the washed-up mogul out of his misery, but as you'll soon find out, Swing King has found other, more creative means of generating wealth.

A retired colonel in [[UsefulNotes/AugustoPinochet Augusto Pinochet]]'s intelligence service and cocaine cartel leader, Delgado has made a name for himself as a highly-regarded producer of fine Chilean wines. 47 is hired by an unknown client to assassinate both Fernando and his eldest son Manuel and told to "make it look like a drug hit."

* WickedCultured: The Don is an accomplished cellist. You can hear him upstairs, playing the suite ''No. 1, prelude'', as you prowl the Hacienda.

Son of Fernando Delgado and heir to his empire; unfortunately for the Don, Manuel has developed an addiction for his own product and a worryingly unpredictable streak. In order to draw suspicion away from the client, 47 is required to kill Manuel to make Fernando's assassination look like a drug hit.

* TransparentCloset: His obsession with Alvade is well known by his security up to the reception guard. Unfortunately for him, so is his pedophilia.

* DirtyCoward: Chad may brag about what a tough guy he is, but if he sees any danger he'll cower and flee.

* GunNut: A Mississippi skipper who enjoys hunting alligators with assault rifles. Some of his hunting gear is kept secure at the staff quarters: It's a high-powered FN-2000 rifle [!], a gift from his brother.

* ConspiracyTheorist: Believes black helicopters murdered his brother. He can be seen rambling about this in front of his brother's conviently open grave.
** Many in the Bayou region believe that Pappy has grown senile and paranoid with age. This is probably the impetus for the bride-to-be, Margeaux, ordering a hit on her father and taking control of his assets. You can listen to some of Pappy's rantings when he pays a visit to Skip's grave.

* KarmaHoudini: Subverted. While he managed to avoid legal consequences for the accident at his park, [[RealityEnsues his victory in court couldn't salvage his reputation or finances]]. Things continue to go downhill for him from there, culminating in him being killed by an assassin hired by the father of one of the accident's victims.

* RealityEnsues: Even if you manage to get off the hook for a massive manslaughter charge, you're not going to be free from lawsuits, the legal fees will leave you effectively penniless and no one is going to want to visit your park again.

* RealityEnsues: Rather than provoking UnstoppableRage, killing her husband just makes her easier to kill, for she's too upset to shoot straight.

* CuttingOffTheBranches: Given that Diana mentions his death as unsolved or ruled as an accident in ''VideoGame/Hitman2016'', its very likely that D'Alvade is canonically killed by swapping the prop gun out.

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: Not only is Morris disliked by the President for being installed into power against his will, its mentioned in the newspaper that neither party liked him for his obsessive anti-cloning stance. Even before his assassination its mentioned that the press hates him for his refusal to be seen in public.

Formerly a colonel in Augusto Pinochet's notorious intelligence service, Delgado has since retired from the military and made a name for himself as a highly-regarded producer of fine Chilean wines; in reality, he's actually a cocaine trafficker and secretly using his vineyard as a disguise for his drugs factory. 47 is hired by an unknown client to assassinate both Fernando and his eldest son Manuel and told to "make it look like a drug hit."

* HundredPercentAdorationRating: Despite being a ruthless criminal, people have nothing but positive things to say about him after his demise. It probably helps that his ruthless past wasn't revealed. People can't decide whether they love or hate his wine though.

* HiddenDepths: Quite apart from producing several award-winning wines, Delgado also collects rare butterflies, composes cello music as a hobby and can actually be found playing Bach's Cello Suite No. 1 if 47 infiltrates the hacienda. Unfortunately for him, this results in him leaving his back to the door while he plays, offering players the perfect opportunity to throttle or syringe him to death, as shown in one of the ''Blood Money'' advertisements.
* HistoricalHeroUpgrade: Given one in-universe. Cayne doesn't mention that he was a drug baron or that he had a previous career in the intelligence service of UsefulNotes/AugustoPinochet. [[spoiler:Of course, this isn't the only 'revision' Cayne makes to his story]].
* LightIsNotGood: He wears a white suit and is a ruthless drug lord.

* RealMenWearPink: He's wearing a pink shirt under his suit.
* {{Revenge}}: Since 47 was told to make his death look like a drug hit, it's likely that Delgado's assassination wasn't ordered by a competing drug baron - leading to speculation that the client was either an old enemy or former victim from Delgado's days in Chilean Intelligence.

* AllPartOfTheShow: Absolutely subverted if the prop gun is replaced by 47.

* BunnyEarsLawyer: His talent as an opera singer is considered to be genuinely on a legendary level, but he also has an explosive temper and a taste for 13 year olds.

* FatalMethodActing:[[invoked]] The rehearsal of ''Tosca'' is conducted during the missopm, though only the execution scene of act 3, in which Alvaro's character dies. Replacing the actor playing the executioner means you can walk around with the WWI pistol unholstered if you want to and take his place. In the opera, Scarpia never intended to let Cavaradossi live; his plan was always to execute Cavaradossi, he gets the last laugh from the grave. Just like 47 does in the game.

* ThePerfectionist: Notorious for his perfectionism, a fact born out by the fact that the rehearsals for ''Tosca's'' climax will continue over and over again until D'Alvade is satisfied with both his output and that of his fellow actors [[note]]in other words, forever[[/note]] - or someone kills him.

* WouldHurtAChild: What pushes him into downright loathsome territory is the fact that he's violated multiple children.

* BrooklynRage: All three of them have heavy Brooklyn accents, befitting their statuses as mafiosos.

* ClosetShuffle: Residing in an affluent suburb in Del Mar and protected by round-the-clock FBI protection, Vinnie is seemingly untouchable. If anything happens that could endanger his life, Vinnie will run and hide into a closet while loading his Bull .480 revolver. Stronger ammunition from your custom weapons can be used to penetrate the closet door if this happens.

Adult entertainment mogul and born-again Christian, Lorne de Haviland made his fortune in the porn industry; at age seventy, he maintains it by blackmailing famous clients caught with their pants down at his heavily-bugged strip clubs. It was at one such club that Chad Bingham Jr was recorded in the act of accidentally killing a stripper, leaving de Haviland with evidence that could cost Bingham's father his re-election. Naturally, clients with Senator Bingham's political longevity in mind hire 47 to infiltrate the porn tycoon's mansion and eliminate any material that might compromise his standing - including Haviland and Chad.

* FatSweatySouthernerInAWhiteSuit: He's significantly overweight (his [=ICA=] profile describes him as "stout and surly"), a drug lord and likely molesting his own niece.

* SweetTooth: He has a taste for cake and one way of killing him is to serve him up some cake with poisoned frosting.

* SweetTooth: Like his father, he has a penchant for sampling the frosting on cake and you can kill him by poisoning the wedding cake.

For most of the 80s and 90s, Joseph Clarence was known throughout the Baltimore area as a wealthy and successful amusement park entrepreneur, up until a badly-maintained Ferris Wheel in his popular Southland Amusement Park collapsed and killed 36 people. Clarence went to court for negligence and though he was cleared of all charges, his finances and his reputation never recovered. In order to stave off bankruptcy, he has rented out the now-closed park out to Scoop, the leader of a crack cocaine ring -- only for Scoop to refuse to either pay the rent or leave. 47 is hired to kill Clarence by the father of one of the accident victims, who also supplies a photo of his son, requesting that it should be the last thing Clarence sees before his death.

* BadLiar: Tries to bribe 47 despite clearly being bankrupt.

* ButtMonkey: Spends most of the mission being taunted, mocked, terrorized, humiliated and thoroughly defeated - before finally getting killed off.

* ShoutOutThemeNaming: Given IO Interactive's love for semi-obscure references to their native Denmark, his nickname is likely a reference to the song "Mr. Swing King" by the Danish band ''Gnags''.

* AssholeVictim: Scoop can be killed like anyone else in the mission and is the reason behind all the gang activity and drug manufacturing going on in the park. Even though he's not a target, it's almost a certainty that he doesn't outlive Clarence by very long. Because he's such a despicable piece of shit, it's clear that he won't be missed by anyone.

* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: There's no reason 47 can't just sneak past most of the guards but he chooses to slaughter them instead (due to it being a tutorial). Special points go to Scoop's inner retinue being taken out with a FallingChandelierOfDoom.

* AlcoholInducedIdiocy: The mobsters have smuggled in contraband and stashed it different corners of the clinic. You can locate each of the bottles and poison them. (One is hidden in a fake globe, another in a janitor bucket, etc.) As long as nobody sees you do it, all three of the targets will literally drink themselves to death.

* HundredPercentAdorationRating: Despite being a ruthless criminal, people have nothing but positive things to say about him after his demise. It probably helps that his ruthless past wasn't revealed.

%%* SlouchOfVillainy

* HateSink: D'Alvade is an unpleasant, insufferable and sadistic serial child rapist who will not hesitate to murder a thirteen year old to save his own skin. Unlike his lover, he does not seem to be affected if Delahunt is killed before him.

* LeanAndMean: Carmine [=DeSalvo=] is listed as 6'2" and only 140 pounds and the other mobsters are similarly lean. It's possible they've lost weight during their stay at the clinic or in Carmine and Rudy's case due to their alcoholism. Carmine's therapy session will also have him admit to his violent urges and how he drinks to calm down.

** GlassCannon: Even with increased health, she's not ''that'' tough and can be brought down with a single headshot. However, she'll OneHitKill you if she hits you with her sword.

* DiscOneNuke: His outfit is the best disguise in the mission and essentially gives you the run of the entire level. Killing him for it isn't too difficult either, as he can either be killed in the bathroom or strangled in the elevator.
* FaceHeelTurn: Used to be one of the "good guys" as a patriotic UsefulNotes/{{CIA}} agent, until his taste for the expensive high life led him down the path of greed and corruption.

* KingMook: Martinez has noticeably more health than normal and requires several shots to bring down, compared to just 1-2 shots for regular Mooks. Unlike Eve, Maynard, or Vaana, he's not really a special "boss fight" however.

!!!'''Affiliation(s):''' U.S. Govenment, Republican Party, Unnamed Biotechnology Company, The Franchise/"Alpha Zerox"

* AnticlimaxBoss: You'd think the Vice President of the United States would be pretty tricky to assassinate, even for as skilled an assassin as Agent 47. You'd be wrong. Morris has no Secret Service entourage of his own and spends his time either in his quarters, where he's ripe for strangling, or walking the First Lady's dog in the White House front lawn, where he's wide open to being sniped. The real challenge in the mission is taking out the assassin Mark Parchezzi III, who's holed up in the heavily guarded Oval Office waiting to ambush and kill the President.

** Daniel Morris, Dog Walker-in-Chief. Congress, presumably maniplated and/or threatened by Morris' real employers, forced him on Stewart by voting him into power after refusing to nominate several prior candidates. Mrs. Stewart, in particular, has a low regard for Morris and assigns him to take her dog for walkies on the White House lawn.

* WellDoneSonGuy: Chad Bingham, Jr. is son of Senator Bingham. He has garnered bad press for frequenting strip clubs and abusing the workers though. Chad's friends claim he was in a deep depression due to a bad relationship with his father.

* BlackWidow: "Til Death Do Us Part" throws players a curveball by revealing it was the bride, not her garrulous father, who hired you to kill the groom. Margeaux [=LeBlanc=]. If 47 is disguised as the priest and marries her off, Hank will be quite enthusiastic about his upcoming nuptials while Margeaux is very taciturn, even turning her head as the groom comes in for the traditional kiss (after which Hank is ''still'' in very good spirits). It is heavily implied that Margeaux is the one who paid the ICA to carry out the murders of her father and both Muldoons. If she discovers Hank's corpse, she will mutter "Well, FINALLY!" when alone but shout "Oh ''no'', my sweet darling, the love of my life..." in front of others. Immediately following the deaths, a Mississippi newspaper reports that she is selling off all her family's assets and fleeing the state with her cash, supposedly out of grief. About five months later, she reappears in Las Vegas as a mysterious high-roller using a fake name.

* HoneyTrap: 47 can pull this on her by disguising himself as the pool boy. She'll ask him to accompany her to her bedroom for a tryst, where 47 can kill or incapacitate her and take the evidence off her. If you just wait a few minutes, though, she'll take a shower, get tired and fall asleep, allowing you to get the evidence off her without any violence.

* EvilPowerVacuum: ''VideoGame/Hitman2'' reveals that his assassination resulted in his nephew, Rico, rebuilding the Delgado cartel to its former glory.

!!!'''Voiced By:''' Jorge Garcia

* FatalMethodActing:[[invoked]] The rehearsal of ''Tosca'' is conducted during mission two, though only the execution scene of act 3, in which Alvaro's character dies. Replacing the actor playing the executioner means you can walk around with the WWI pistol unholstered if you want to. You're an actor now. Don't forget to stand on your mark! The music will swell and there's a pre-recorded shot noise -- That's your cue. In the opera, Scarpia never intended to let Cavaradossi live; his plan was always to execute Cavaradossi, he gets the last laugh from the grave. Just like 47 does in the game.

* LeanAndMean: Carmine [=DeSalvo=] is listed as 6'2" and only 140 pounds and the other mobsters are similarly lean. It's possible they've lost weight during their stay at the clinic or in Carmine and Rudy's case due to their alcoholism.

* ClosetShuffle: Residing in the affluent San Diego suburb of Del Mar and protected by round-the-clock FBI protection, Vinnie is seemingly untouchable. If anything happens that could endanger his life, Vinnie will run and hide into a closet while loading his Bull .480 revolver. Stronger ammunition from your custom weapons can be used to penetrate the closet door if this happens.

!!!'''Voiced By:''' Sam Riegel

* {{Cuckold}}: His wife is cheating on him with a Secret Service agent.

* PianoDrop: One possible way to kill her is to wait until she's standing directly under a suspended piano (god only knows why) and then sabotage the winch, bringing it crashing down on top of her.

* FourEyesZeroSoul: Distinguished by his prim and proper spectacles - and, of course, his many warped and disturbing appetites.

The daughter of Mississippi crime lord Pappy [=LeBlanc=], who's scheduled to be married to her cousin, Hank "Buddy" Leitch Muldoon, the son of Pappy's brother and fellow crime lord Skip Muldoon. She's heavily implied to be the client who hired 47 to kill Skip, Pappy, and Buddy, leaving her as the sole heir of the two families' criminal fortunes.

* KarmaHoudini: She gets away scott free after having her father, uncle, and fiance assassinated and leaving town with their combined fortune. Also, she was apparently a high-level member of the [=LeBlanc=] crime organization rather than an innocent bystander. However, she at least seemed to want to liquidate their criminal empires rather than continue in their footsteps, opting instead to skip town with the money and live out the high life in Last Vegas.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: Hiring an assassin to kill your uncle, husband, and father-in-law would be a pretty evil thing to do, but considering all of them are running a criminal empire, it's hard to find too much fault for her.

* HoneyTrap: 47 can pull this on her by disguising himself as the pool boy. She'll ask him to accompany her to her bedroom for a tryst, where 47 can kill or incapacitate her and take the evidence off her. If you just wait a few minutes, though, she'll take a shower, get tired, and fall asleep, allowing you to get the evidence off her without any violence.
* LadyDrunk: Her boredom and unhappiness has left alcohol as her only solace, and she's clearly inebriated throughout the mission.

For most of the 80s and 90s, Joseph Clarence was known throughout the Baltimore area as a wealthy and successful amusement park entrepreneur, up until a badly-maintained Ferris Wheel in his popular Southland Amusement Park collapsed and killed 36 people. Clarence went to court for negligence, and though he was cleared of all charges, his finances and his reputation never recovered. In order to stave off bankruptcy, he has rented out the now-closed park out to Scoop, the leader of a crack cocaine ring -- only for Scoop to refuse to either pay the rent or leave. 47 is hired to kill Clarence by the father of one of the accident victims, who also supplies a photo of his son, requesting that it should be the last thing Clarence sees before his death.

* AintTooProudToBeg: The Swing King begs ''a lot'' over the course of the mission; he begs his wife not to give up on him, he begs Scoop for money, and he finally begs for his life when 47 arrives to kill him. He's so busy pleading for mercy that the notion of running away, fighting back, [[FaceDeathWithDignity facing death with dignity]] or remaining DefiantToTheEnd simply doesn't occur to him.

* CorruptCorporateExecutive: A fairly realistic example of such. He committed his atrocities by accident while trying to save money, and he ended up going to court for it; likewise, hiring the best lawyers in the country only ended up sending him nosediving into bankruptcy.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: His wife, who he still adores, and his niece, who he employees as his secretary. Of course, since Clarence is nothing but bad luck for anyone associated with him, his wife finally tires of his constant excuses and divorces him about halfway through the mission; his niece isn't so lucky. Though you're able to spare his niece, if you really want to.
* FatIdiot: More than a little portly, and more than a little bit dim-witted.
* FootDraggingDivorcee: The Swing King's wife is sending over divorce papers for him to sign. A now-totally delusional Clarence tells her he won't sign them, and believes his wife will take him back once the park "reopens" and his fortune is restored. After distracting the two guards with the coin, you enter a theatre in which a bound and blindfolded divorce lawyer is about to be burned alive by one of Scoop's men.

* HumiliationConga: Fresh from losing his fortune in court and being forced to rent out his beloved park to drug dealers, the Swing King has to endure a plethora of defeats and humiliations over the course of the mission: his wife is divorcing him, his futile attempt to recover from bankruptcy blows up in his face, his precious trophy statue gets smashed, and he's left to spend the rest of his day alone in his office with barely enough authority to order his own niece around. And then 47 shows up to kill him. Cue the waterworks and humiliating death scene.

* NeverMyFault: Refused to admit his culpability in the deaths of his own customers, and even today, has nothing but excuses for why he keeps making a mess of his life.

* PyrrhicVictory: All charges against him were cleared and he avoided jailtime, but his park was shut down and the lawsuits cost him his entire fortune. By the time the game begins, he's barely scraping by, he's completely at the mercy of a gang that doesn't need to pay him, his wife has left him, and he's a crying miserable wreck with no future. And the father of one of his victims ''still'' wants Clarence dead, prompting a master assassin to come for him.
* RealityEnsues: Even if you manage to get off the hook for a massive manslaughter charge, you're not going to be free from lawsuits, the legal fees will leave you effectively penniless, and no one is going to want to visit your park again.

Formerly a colonel in Augusto Pinochet's notorious intelligence service, Delgado has since retired from the military and made a name for himself as a highly-regarded producer of fine Chilean wines; in reality, he's actually a cocaine trafficker and secretly using his vineyard as a disguise for his drugs factory. 47 is hired by an unknown client to assassinate both Fernando and his eldest son Manuel, and told to "make it look like a drug hit."

* AffablyEvil: Comes across as personable and witty in public interviews, and can be seen warmly embracing his son as he gets off his seaplane at the start of the mission. He's also got a good sense of humour and is mentioned to be a very personable and friendly man by those who know him. Despite his horrendous crimes, his death is met with absolute sadness.

* HiddenDepths: Quite apart from producing several award-winning wines, Delgado also collects rare butterflies, composes cello music as a hobby, and can actually be found playing Bach's Cello Suite No. 1 if 47 infiltrates the hacienda. Unfortunately for him, this results in him leaving his back to the door while he plays, offering players the perfect opportunity to throttle or syringe him to death, as shown in one of the ''Blood Money'' advertisements.

Widely considered one of the world's greatest operatic tenors, D'Alvade is renowned for the technical brilliance of his performances. However, his explosive temper and relentless perfectionism have made him a highly controversial figure, and some operas have blacklisted him altogether. Rumors of his involvement in a child prostitution ring have also began to take a toll on his reputation - rumors that happen to be true, and result in both D'Alvade and Richard Delahunt becoming targets. He also appeared in ''VideoGame/HitmanContracts'' having already been killed by 47.

* AssholeVictim: Only Delahunt mourns this loathsome child rapist, and he dies shortly after.

* {{Jerkass}}: D'Alvade is not known for his pleasant nature, and some opera stars have refused to work with him as a result.

The American ambassador to the Vatican, former Governor of Massachusetts, failed presidential nominee, and currently Alvaro D'Alvade's biggest fan. He's also been running a child prostitution ring operating throughout Eastern Europe, and does regular business with D'Alvade in this respect - business that appears to have developed into a rather "close" relationship. It's because of this mutual involvement that both Delahunt and D'Alvade are slated for assassination. He also appeared in ''VideoGame/HitmanContracts'' having already been killed by 47.

* AssInAmbassador: Delahunt's interest in actually doing his job is currently circling the plughole by the looks of things, and if ''Contracts'' is any evidence, he's become an embarrassing liability for his former allies in the US government.

* ProperlyParanoid: Over the course of his career, Ambassador Delahunt has made a lot of enemies who'd gladly see him dead, and he knows this; as such, he takes the sensible precaution of staying in one of the best-defended areas of the entire opera house, surrounded on all sides by armed guards.
* ReassignedToAntarctica: Richard's profile in ''Hitman: Contracts'' says that he is a "former Governor of Massachusetts, one-time presidential hopeful, and current ambassador to the Vatican". The truth is, his former political allies decided to informally exile him to France after discovering that he was running a child prostitution ring.

A trio of New York mobsters who are holed up at the Pine Cone Rehabilitation Center. One of them is scheduled to turn state's witness, and is also affiliated with the Franchise, and 47 has been hired to take them out. The other two also turn out to be bonus targets, due to having fallen out of favor with the New York families.

* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: They can easily be identified by the colors of their nightgowns. Carmine's is mint green, Rudy's is pink, and Lorenzo's is light blue.

* LeanAndMean: Carmine [=DeSalvo=] is listed as 6'2" and only 140 pounds, and the other mobsters are similarly lean. It's possible they've lost weight during their stay at the clinic or in Carmine and Rudy's case due to their alcoholism.

Prior to his arrest, Vinnie Sinistra was a Cuban crime lord who came to America in 1980, eventually teaming up with Sammy Falconetti and Bobby Mazur to smuggle large amounts of cocaine from the Bahamas and into Florida. After being caught by the FBI, he agreed to snitch on his former partners, and entered the Witness Protection Program... where he soon became 47's next target.

* ClosetShuffle: Residing in the affluent San Diego suburb of Del Mar, and protected by round-the-clock FBI protection, Vinnie is seemingly untouchable. If anything happens that could endanger his life, Vinnie will run and hide into a closet while loading his Bull .480 revolver. Stronger ammunition from your custom weapons can be used to penetrate the closet door if this happens.

* DirtyCoward: Panics if his FBI escort doesn't meet him at the top of the stairs, and hides in a closet if his life is endangered. Of course, given what he knows, this is something of a case of ProperlyParanoid.

* GildedCage: Finds life in Witness Protection to be this; he's been given a luxurious suburban home in a well-defended neighborhood, 24-hour protection by the FBI, and an absurdly relaxed schedule... but he can't enjoy any of it, nor can he leave. Quite apart from all the paranoia he's been suffering of late, Sinistra is bored to tears with suburbia, and clearly misses the excitement of his GloryDays.

** Trusts his wife completely, hence why she's been given the hard evidence to guard... despite Mrs Sinistra's obvious adultery and willingness to betray him, and the fact she's a heavy drinker.

* RetiredMonster: The "Slugger's" days as a crime lord are well behind him thanks to the bargain he made with the FBI, and he's been left to spend his days languishing in suburbia, watching TV and trying not to die of boredom.
* StepfordSuburbia: His current location, a gated community resplendent with perfectly-trimmed lawns and elegant homes. Behind closed doors, the community's most prominent resident is an ex-gangster, his wife is a drunken adulterer, and the house is filled with FBI agents who spend half their time scarfing doughnuts and sniffing the teenage daughter's underwear.

* BaldOfEvil: Very little hair to speak of, and not much in the way of scruples, either.
* BigFancyHouse: Lorne de Haviland owns a spectacular mansion in the Rocky Mountains, most of it burrowing deep into one of the mountainside; among other things, this colossal lodge possesses a private dock, a sprawling patio complete with a set of glass-bottomed hot tubs, a private bar, sizeable kitchen facilities, dozens of private rooms, an on-site studio for porn films, and even a helipad.
* {{Blackmail}}: His primary source of income, and the reason why Bingham Sr's aides want him dead.

* EvilOldFolks: This septuagenarian opportunist has absolutely zero qualms about blackmailing anyone rich enough to boost his income, and judging by Chad Jr's thoroughly uninhibited presence at the party, he doesn't have much empathy for his employees either.
* HoneyTrap: His standard means of beefing up his profit margins, and how he and Chad ended up becoming targets in the first place.

Youngest son of Colorado senator Chad Bingham Sr, Chad Jr has acquired a nasty reputation for assaulting prostitutes and strippers, often leaving them beyond recognition. His latest sexual tryst ended in manslaughter, and Lorne de Haviland managed to record every single minute of it. Recognizing Chad as an incorrigible political liability, one of Senator Bingham's supporters hires 47 to assassinate Junior before he does any further damage to his father's career.

* OffingTheOffspring: In late 2004, Chad Bingham Jr. visited a strip club owned by the famous Lorne [=de Havilland=] and accidentally killed a stripper during a BDSM sex game. Security cameras caught the whole incident on video, and de Havilland blackmailed senator Bingham with the tape (as Lorne often did to other politicians, celebrities and clergymen). This is the last straw for Senator Bingham's office, and they send 47 to destroy all of the evidence, Chad included.

* SlippingAMickey: Assassinating him without collateral damage requires a hefty dose of aphrodisiac in his next drink, and invariably results in Bingham staggering off to a private room with one of his entourage in tow. Once the two lovebirds are finished, Chad can be bumped off in as private a manner as possible.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: Lounges shirtless in the hot tub for most of the mission, and doesn't bother putting on any clothes or even fetching a towel when he leaves - despite the freezing temperatures.

-->"He wasn't like his old man and he knew it... He felt like a total disappointment whatever he did. So he just kind of gave up on things, and I guess it was kind of inevitable he'd die young."

* CampGay: Camp Bi, but Muldoon speaks with a high-pitched accent, prances around in a sailor's outfit, and lounges around a man in his underwear.

* CarryingACake: The cake in the kitchen serves double duty while hunting Skip and his crew; it can be poisoned to kill Skip, and a weapon can be concealed inside it to get past the guards then used to kill Skip's inner circle.

* FatSweatySouthernerInAWhiteSuit: He's significantly overweight (his [=ICA=] profile describes him as "stout and surly"), a drug lord, and likely molesting his own niece.

* SweetTooth: He has a taste for cake, and one way of killing him is to serve him up some cake with poisoned frosting.

The dim-witted son of Skip Muldoon, who takes over as leader of the Gator Gang after Skip's death. He's scheduled to marry his cousin, Margaux [=LeBlanc=], and 47 has been hired to kill him during the wedding.

* AbhorrentAdmirer: Margeaux obviously dislikes Hank, and if 47 marries them while disguised as a priest, she doesn't even let him kiss her. After 47 pronounces them "husband and wife", all the guest turn their backs to the gazebo and start firing their guns into the air, which gives you a clear window to shoot the groom. This will incite the wrath of the entire wedding party, but has the advantage of confirming your suspicions: What's funny is that you'll hear Margeaux sigh "''Finally!''" before screaming for help.

* KissingCousins: Is set to marry his cousin Margaux [=LeBlanc=], who's also sleeping with his father. It's strongly implied that the wedding was Margaux's idea, and all but outright stated that she's only interested in their money, as it's pretty heavily implied she's the client who hires 47 to kill Skip, Buddy, and Pappy in order to leave her as the sole inheritor of the Muldoon and [=LeBlanc=] crime fortunes.

* SweetTooth: Like his father, he has a penchant for sampling the frosting on cake, and you can kill him by poisoning the wedding cake.

* CorruptCorporateExecutive: He's the owner of a global pharmaceutical company that seems to be dealing in the very morally dubious field of clone SuperSoldier research, and is willing to do business with a white supremacist who is likely planning to use the money he'll be paid with to finance global terrorist acts. His involvement with clone research also leads Diana to suspect he may be tied to Alpha Zerox and the Franchise.

* NonActionGuy: He's a scientist, not a fighter, and will either cower or run when the shooting starts.

* MeaningfulName: His surname is German and Yiddish for dirt, and he happens to be a white supremacist.

* AloneWithThePsycho: If you approach her while dressed as Agent Martinez, she'll mistake you for her lover and invite you to her private chamber. However she quickly sees through your disguise after she asks you to remove your mask, and 47 obviously is unable to do so. You can either kill her before she catches wise, or dodge quickly when she starts swinging her sword at you and take her out with either a silenced pistol headshot or a throwing knife between the eyes with one of the stilettos you got from Eve.

* RecurringBossTemplate: Her boss fight shares some traits with Lee Hong's boss fights in ''VideoGame/HitmanCodename47'' and ''VideoGame/HitmanContracts''; both characters use martial arts, agility, and a one-hit-kill sword. Vaana gets an upgrade in the form of a gun.

* MadeOfIron: He can take a lot more punishment than most other characters in the game, and needs several shots to kill.

The acting Vice President of the United States of America, who was only placed in the role after the previous Vice President died under suspicious circumstances. He's a former biotech CEO and a secret member of Alpha Zerox, and is conspiring with the Franchise to assassinate President Stewart so he can become President and enact their policies, starting with a ban on human cloning so the Franchise will have a monopoly on the technology. Agent Smith hires 47 to kill Morris in order to prevent the President's assassination.

* AnticlimaxBoss: You'd think the Vice President of the United States would be pretty tricky to assassinate, even for as skilled an assassin as Agent 47. You'd be wrong. Morris has no Secret Service entourage of his own, and spends his time either in his quarters, where he's ripe for strangling, or walking the First Lady's dog in the White House front lawn, where he's wide open to being sniped. The real challenge in the mission is taking out the assassin Mark Parchezzi III, who's holed up in the heavily guarded Oval Office waiting to ambush and kill the President.

* FilmTheHand: Vice President Morris avoids the Washington press corps like the plague, and they hate him in kind.

* HiredToHuntYourself: Before politics, Morris was a powerful biotech CEO on Wall Street, and ironically, his biggest and only priority as a politician is to ban human cloning. He is secretly a member of Alpha Zerox, conspiring with them to kill both Vice President Burke (his predecessor) and President Stewart. The plan was for him and [[spoiler:Cayne]] to exploit their positions to uphold the ban on human cloning, allowing The Franchise to make sure nobody but them had access to the technology.

* GangOfHats: Purayah's unit of Crows end up like this while stationed in New Orleans; taking advantage of the [[ItsAlwaysMardiGrasInNewOrleans Mardi Gras parade]], all of them dress in ridiculous-looking bird costumes, apparently for the sake of blending into the festivities. Of course, the different members of the group can be distinguished by odd variations to their outfits: guards wear yellow bird costumes, the courier wears a red bird costume, Raymond wears a blackbird costume, Angelina wears a sexy blackbird outfit complete with a CleavageWindow and high heels, and Purayah himself wears a blackbird costume without the head.

* ShoddyKnockoffProduct: Much like his "brother", Mark Purayah II was created in an attempt to duplicate the process that created 47, but suffers from rapid aging, lesser physiological enhancements, and lesser skills as an assassin.
* TheSociopath: According to his bio, he's almost completely detached from human suffering, and never allows compassion or empathy to get in the way of his mission.

* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: He's remarkably subdued when he discovers that his wife's been assassinated, and will resolve to complete the mission without so much as a frown. However, if 47 gets caught in Kulinsky's apartment, all bets are off.

* TranquilFury: Unlike Angelina, Raymond goes completely silent the moment he learns that his spouse is dead, and completes the mission without emotion and without hesitation.

Born in a traveling circus, Angelina Mason trained as a trapeze artist, sharpshooter and knife-thrower - up until the death of her mother prompted her departure and gradual descent into narcotics and prostitution. After killing one of her customers in self-defense, Angelina realized that her skills could be put to better use, and went into business as an assassin - a career path that eventually led to partnership and marriage with fellow athlete-turned-killer Raymond Kulinsky. Currently employed as recon and support for the Crows in New Orleans, Mason joins her husband and her employer as 47's targets.

* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Because she uses a silenced .40 pistol, if she opens fire on 47 it draws zero attention, leaving you free to retaliate with a silencer headshot of your own. Where it gets weird is if you draw the fight into the streets instead, where Angelina continues to spray bullets at you, mowing down dozens of civilians with stray shots, and the cops continue to completely fail to notice her.

* AssassinOutclassin: Unlike the Crows, the unnamed assassin gets a full cutscene in which she successfully outclasses 47. Beating her to the punch is paramount - literally, in that one of the easiest ways of dispatching Miss Nameless is to punch her unconscious as soon as she readies the knife, and then cap her in the head as soon as she's down. [[note]]And no, you can't just shoot her in the back while following her into the back room; she registers as a civilian until she draws the knife.[[/note]]

* KingMook: She's got about twice as much health as a regular Mook, and if she manages to get a shot off guards will come running to investigate the noise.

** If her initial ambush fails to work, she'll attack you with throwing knives instead. It's entirely possible to dodge one of her knives, pick it up, and throw it back at her to kill her.

* PaperThinDisguise: Figuratively and literally. Her cover as the singer is paper-thin due to the awful performance she puts on, and she is wearing an outfit that barely leaves anything to the imagination.

* AssassinOutclassin: Maynard will recognize 47 regardless of his disguise, and challenge him to a duel in a private room to prove who is the superior assassin. Maynard learns that he is, in fact, not the better of the two assassins and 47 eliminates him.

* DamageSpongeBoss: During the duel, if the fight drags out long enough for you to run into the central area where Maynard ends up, he'll gain a massive amount of health and will require ''several dozen'' bullets to bring down. You can still kill him with melee executions, and headshots also bring him down quickly.
* DuelBoss: Maynard challenges 47 to a one-on-one shootout in a soundproofed supply room filled with shelves and obstacles. He can take a good 9-10 pistol bullets or half a mag of automatic weapons fire to kill, compared to just a couple for standard mooks, and fighting him in combat doesn't count against your stealth rating.

* {{Foil}}: To 47, and to a lesser extent his Heaven party counterpart Eve. As opposed to 47's short, oftentimes terse dialogue, Maynard is highly theatrical in his speech patterns and eschews stealthy murders in favor of dramatic duels. In comparison to Eve, Maynard is, once again, less stealthy, but appears to be otherwise composed - while Eve is rather sadistic and draws out her kills, Maynard is able to behave himself in combat, destroying 47's cover and favoring practical firearms instead of Eve's stylistic stilleto knives and loud Desert Eagle.
