Agent 47

Agent 47 is bald (except for his eyebrows), with piercing blue eyes and a barcode on the back of his head (his birth date and ID). He has a long face with high cheekbones and is 188 cm tall. He is based on and voiced by David Bateson.

He dresses tastefully: a classic black suit, white shirt, red tie, and black gloves (in Blood Money, he wears striped variations; in Absolution, he wears a tailored suit). Various suits are available in HITMAN™, but his preferred style is formal business.

1. Personality: Agent 47 is outwardly calm, speaks in a gentlemanly tone, but is taciturn and solitary. His motto is "Trust no one," yet he has shown loyalty to Father Vittorio and trust in Diana Burnwood (which has been strengthened over the course of the series).

Rare emotions:

· Anger at ladders in Silent Assassin (a menacing look after climbing them).
· Fright or surprise when attacked by the Saints in Absolution, a sinister smile when Lenny is captured.

Expressions of friendliness: burying a rabbit, saving Mei Ling, being friends with Vittorio, making peace with Agent Smith, and getting a canary (possibly as an alarm). In Damnation, he showed affection for the undercover girl; in Absolution, he hesitated before shooting Diana.
2. Morality: Agent 47 is an antihero with moral qualms. He kills targets and obstacles without hesitation, but in Blood Money, he eliminates innocent bystanders (a postman, a priest, a reporter). The player chooses their playstyle (stealth or everyone), but 47 is nicknamed "the ghost" for his silent actions.

Manifestations of conscience: he confesses to Father Vittorio, wears a cross, and seeks peace in Silent Assassin, but ultimately turns to killing. In Absolution, he hesitates before shooting Diana, pities her, and takes Victoria under his wing. In Enemy Within, he saves children not out of kindness but to make a deal, but feels uneasy at their gratitude. This underscores his antiheroic nature.

8. Linguistic abilities: Agent 47 is a polyglot thanks to genetic modification: he speaks English, Russian, French, Chinese, Italian, Arabic, and other languages. He doesn't just memorize words, but also analyzes dialects and sociocultural codes, making him an excellent mimic. Examples: in the book "Enemy Within," he poses as an arms dealer in Arabic; in the mission "Party Invitation," he communicates with security guards in Russian, using military lingo to infiltrate.
9. Knowledge in the natural sciences: Agent 47 is well versed in chemistry, biology, medicine, and toxicology: he creates poisons (including from plants and frogs), uses laxatives, emetics, sedatives, and deadly toxins. He understands virology (knows how to destroy the Caruso virus with heat). He is proficient in anatomy: he uses syringes, darts, and pinpoint pressure on the carotid artery to silently disable someone (he previously used chloroform and anesthesia).

5. Social Adaptability and Instincts: Agent 47 possesses deep instincts: he sees targets and security personnel through walls, anticipates their routes, and chooses optimal routes and camouflage to match the surrounding environment.

A key skill is disguise: he not only wears someone else's uniform but also understands access levels and avoids experienced agents who might expose him. He reduces suspicion by using distracting actions (for example, mopping the floor while pretending to be a cleaner).

He actively uses social engineering: he manipulates people to obtain information and access to targets (infiltrating a cult, romancing a member, and using a variety of aliases). All disguises in a location earn him the "Chameleon" achievement, which accurately reflects his nature.
6. Ingenuity and Creativity: Agent 47 is a master of improvisation: for over 20 years, he has left no evidence and remains calm in any situation. Exceptions where he was caught off guard include: being wounded in Paris, Diana's syringe deception (his only swear word), Skirky's electro-trap, the RPG explosion from the Saints, Diana's repeated poisoning, and Le Chiffre's sedative in HITMAN 3.

He uses any object as a weapon (from a book and a plunger to a fish and a starfish), and can even break down doors with a rusty nail. While disguised, he reveals hidden talents: he makes sushi, fugu, and cocktails, plays the keyboard and drums (his hobby), and draws.
7. Technical and Driving Skills: Agent 47 is an experienced driver, handling cars in challenging conditions (rain, police roadblocks), vans, trucks, as well as helicopters, planes, boats, all-terrain vehicles, motorcycles, and mopeds.

He is also an expert locksmith (picking locks in seconds) and a mechanic/engineer: he skillfully manipulates machinery for sabotage, from sabotaging an ejection seat in 1999 to using electricity, gas, explosions, collapses, and other technical malfunctions in recent games.

1. Combat Skills and Physical Strength: Agent 47 possesses peak physical strength, surpassing even trained fighters: he can strangle enormous creatures with a noose, pull bodies, and leap between balconies. Without much muscle mass, he doesn't attract attention.

He's a master of hand-to-hand combat: he can disarm, create a human shield, and knock out people with one blow (including boxing and MMA champions). He defeated the giant Sanchez (over 2 m tall, over 200 kg) by snapping his neck, despite the intense battle.
2. Enhanced Speed: Agent 47 runs 10 km in 36:39. His reflexes are lightning fast: he dodges bullets at point-blank range, outpaces opponents by a split second in firefights, and reacts quickly in combat. However, he doesn't like running during missions—he'll stop a witness with a shot or a throw, not a chase.
3. Accuracy and Shooting Skills: Agent 47 is a perfect marksman: every bullet hits its target, and he knows the lethal and painful spots. He fires with incredible speed (almost in bursts), and his "snapshot" skill allows him to instantly hit the critical zones of multiple enemies.

He's proficient with throwing weapons: from coins (distraction) to piercing and cutting objects (fatal to the head) and heavy blunt objects (stun/knockdown).
4. Enhanced Metabolism and Endurance: Agent 47 possesses an accelerated metabolism with a limited regenerative capacity. A severe abdominal wound required medical attention and painkillers, but he escaped. He can withstand blows from the super-strong Sanchez (resulting only in a brief loss of consciousness), electric shock, and beatings. He tolerates extreme cold well (Hokkaido, Romania barefoot), but not heat and saunas, suffering damage just like normal humans.
