Agent 47

Agent 47 is an assassin/hitman and the protagonist in the Hitman series of video games. Although the protagonist, his works and doings have made him infamous as a professional killer. He is employed by the ICA (International Contract Agency) to carry out hits for their clients, and has since become renown as one the ICA's most superior assassins, and a strategically valued asset.

He was genetically engineered from five of the world's greatest criminals; Lee Hong, Pablo Belisario Ochoa, Arkadij Jegorov, Franz Fuchs, and Otto Wolfgang Ort-Meyer. His name is derived from his being the 47th clone created by Dr. Otto Wolfgang Ort-Meyer. To augment 47's abilities and create the perfect killer, he was given a 47th chromosome to ensure he is intrinsically beyond the normal human in all necessary facets. On account of said additional chromosome, his strength, speed, dexterity, and intellect exceed from human limitation.

47 has a somewhat generic physical appearance. He appears as a roughly middle-aged, Caucasian male with a height of 6 feet to 6 feet, two inches tall, bald/shaved head, and phyiscally conditioned body type. His face is usually marked by an unexpressive and blank countenance. He typically wears a black suit blazer, white undershirt, crimson necktie, formal, black suit pants, a neatly polished pair pf shoes, and black, leather gloves. His dressings vary rather frequently though, having to disguise himself to hide amongst his enemies. He is stated to weigh 187 lbs and demonstrably posesses deep, blue eyes and an exceedingly fair complexion.

In absolution, his appearance changes. After quiting the ICA, he cuts off his barcode tattoo with a Straight Razor, in order to avoid further attention by ICA. He now carries a blooded bandage covering the cut area. Further on, after a failed assassination attempt of Blake Dexter's bodyguard Sanchez, he is left for dead in the now burning building. He lost his gloves, his tie is gone and his suit has been tattered.

His skill in stealth prexceeds those of a normal man, like dressing up in just a matter of seconds. His ability to kill people sometimes exaggerated and extraordinary in stealth games, like putting poison on his victim's food and replacing a prop gun with a real one in an opera play.

Trivia
