| “ | I always knew I didn't belong in this world. I wasn't made for this. But I'll never forget- those who betrayed me, and those who failed my trust. I'll be carrying nothing from Gontranno but this lesson: never trust anyone and rely on your instincts. Forget the past. I'll never find peace here. So, I'll seek justice for myself. I'll choose the truth I like. | „ |
| ~ 47's cynical monologue during the ending of Hitman 2: Silent Assassin as he was leaving Vittoro's church. |
Agent 47 is the main protagonist of the Hitman series. He is a genetically advanced clone that has been trained to perfection in everything he does to aid him in his assignments and due to this he has a 99% success rate with all his contracts making him the world's most reliable assassin.
He was voiced by David Bateson, as William Mapother provided the motion capture for the character in Absolution. In the 2007 film, he was portrayed by Timothy Olyphant and Borislav Parvanov young, while in Hitman: Agent 47, he was portrayed by Rupert Friend.
His Good Ranking[]
What Makes Him Admirable?[]
- He stopped the Fuchs' brothers from bombing the Budapest hotel with a chemical bomb, saving hundreds of lives.
- He defeated Ort-Meyer and prevented him from using his 48 series clones to dominate the world.
- When he worked in a church with a priest named Father Vittoro, after Vittoro was kidnapped and held for ransom, 47 despite wanting to retire from assassination, decided to return so he could get enough money to repay the debt and get Vittoro back and once he killed his captors after finding out he was set up and rescued Vittoro, he decided to return to assassination fully and stop working with VIttoro so he wouldn't put him or any other innocents in danger again.
- He defeats the Beldingford family, ending their hunting games of killing humans.
- Despite the trouble that Smith causes him, in almost every installment, 47 still saves him every time.
- He ends a pedophile sex trafficking ring lead by Alvaro D' Alvade and Richard Delahunt by assassinating them.
- He saves Jimmy Cilley after Alexander Leland Cayne hired assassins to kill him at the Mardi Gras parade.
- He saves the U.S. president after Mark Parchezzi lll and Daniel Morris attempted to kill him to take his position of power.
- He saved the entire ICA from Cayne after Cayne attempted to use him for his own goals.
- He ends a pedophile sex trafficking ring lead by Al-Fulani, allowing the children to get their revenge on him personally by arming them with knives and allowing them to kill him.
- Despite being contracted to kill Diana Burnwood, 47 couldn't bring himself to do it and decided to spare her and with her seemingly dying wish she asked 47 to protect a girl named 'Victoria' who is also a clone just like 47 himself and 47 accepted Diana's wish as he understood Diana's reason for taking Victoria away due to the painful experimentation that the clones had to undergo (which 47 himself had gone through too).
- He defeated Edward Wade, a complete psychopath that raped strippers and killed many innocent people simply to get a thrill, something that 47 found repulsive.
- He assassinates all of Dexter's head scientists and destroys their research so they cannot continue to experiment on Victoria and to halt their progress.
- After finding out Benjamin Travis suspected Diana was still alive, 47 killed him, his assistant Jade and Travis's best men so the ICA wouldn't track Diana down to kill her and recapture Victoria.
- He stops Silvio Caruso from distributing his virus to many people all over the world, saving many lives.
- He stops Reza Zaydan and Claus Hugo Strandberg from carrying out a coup d'etat that could have claimed thousands to millions of lives.
- He kills 4 of the Shadow Client's best soldiers and successfully gathers the information needed to help figure out the identity of the assassin.
- He assassinates Erich Soders after he betrayed the ICA, showing that 47 is against betrayal.
- He and Diana stop Oybek Nabazov, Sister Yulduz and Owen Cage from unleashing a deadly virus that would have killed 90% of the world's population.
- Even after all the trouble Grey caused for him and Diana throughout the first two games, 47 spares him after Grey reminds him about their promise to take down Providence and works with Grey and a woman named Olivia to stop Providence.
- He plays a major role in stopping Providence, a powerful criminal organization that sought worldwide power by taking down Don Yates and Tamara Vidal with Diana and either killing or capturing Arthur Edwards so Diana can become the new constant of Providence and destroy it. This act is admirable as Providence was filled with corrupt people such as Claus Hugo Strandberg, Reza Zaydan, Erich Soders and a lot more people too.
What Makes Him Inconsistent?[]
- He is an on & off character character that can do villainous things quite often such as contract killing, murdering innocent people for his own benefit, and it is demonstrated many times throughout the series how ruthless he can be when he snapped his own bird's neck who he had nurtured and cared for throughout Blood Money just because he couldn't hear someone coming and he was going to kill Smith at one point and didn't care about the fact the president was going to be assassinated until Smith told him he would pay him and his infamous line of 'I can do whatever I'm paid to do'.
- He is extremely lethal as his kill methods can be very brutal at times such as him trapping Yuki Yamazaki in a sauna so she dehydrates to death, killing Soders by stabbing him with a machine repeatedly, and he can even knock out Silvio Caruso or Don Archibald Yates and use a fertilizer box to shred either of them to death.
- He has moments of cruelty such as him leaving Lenny Dexter to die in a desert with no food or water. Even if Lenny was a bad person, he didn't do anything to deserve a fate like that unlike Wade or even his own Father. And he kills a postman on the slight implication that he might have been an assassin/target which is considered by many players to be one of his most evil moments.
- While his targets are extremely immoral people, in the end 47 doesn't really care if his target is bad,good or neutral morally as he only cares about fulfilling his client's needs and making a successful hit. While there are very few exceptions to this the amount of times he doesn't care far outweighs the times he does care. And while he has rid the world of a lot of evil villains most of them were done because they were either in his way or because they just happened to be his target that the client wanted assassinated, making him very grey zoned.
