The Shadow Client

The Shadow Client (as listed in the credits after each episode) is a character in HITMAN™.

Background

Not much can be gained from his appearances on the game thus far. His motivations are currently unknown. As of World of Tomorrow, he has claimed to have information of everyone IAGO had collected intelligence of, and has acquired a "key". He is shown to be rather skilled in terms of assassinations, as he managed to frame one of his targets to seem like that he was an opposing spy, reducing the amount of investigation the murder was suspected to.

Rigging the Curtain

The night before Agent 47 infiltrated the Palais de Walewska, the Shadow Client met with Viktor Novikov to collect his reward for killing an agent after Novikov. Viktor handed him everything the IAGO had collected, and was dismissed. As Viktor was leaving, the client informed an unknown associate to start leaking the files and to tie up loose ends through a text message, and told Viktor that he has a feeling "that this is going to be the show you'll be remembered for", suggesting he was aware of the pending assassination.

Trapping the Messenger

A week after the Sapienza incident, he appeared in Johannesburg, "meeting" with an unnamed businessman by hiding on the backseat of his car and keeping him at gunpoint from behind. After a brief discussion, he asked the businessman to hand him "the key". As the man reluctantly gave it to the client, he informed the client that "If there's a weakness, Providence will find it", subsequently saying, "I just killed you". The Shadow Client thanked the messenger, told them that then they're even, and shot him.

Appearance

The Shadow Client is a older Caucasian man, having noticeably grey hair and facial hair. He wears a grey jacket with black shoulders, and black pants.
