“	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 never 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

47, also known as Agent 47, is the main protagonist of the 'Hitman' series. He is a hitman for the International Contract Agency (ICA).

Background

47 was created by Dr. Ort-Meyer as a clone of several other's DNAs on September 5, 1964, is an underground lab in Romania designed as a mental asylum. 47 grew up under the doctor's watch, but eventually had his mind wiped. He later escaped the facility and joined the ICA.

47 joined the ICA in 2000, during which he would be assigned numerous assassination contracts. This is where he became Agent 47, and his official work began. In his line of work, he has killed uncountable amounts of people, but often prefers not to assassinate non-targets, unless his situation calls for it.

After a while, 47 decided to stop being a hitman, and instead became a gardener in Sicily, where he became Catholic. Eventually, he is tracked down and forced to remain in his former line of work. He then resumes his previous occupation for several more years.

Several organizations has been deemed a threat to the ICA, and Agent 47 was usually employed as the sole agent for the job. Such opposing organizations include The Franchise, IAGO, Providence, and more. After dismantling the Providence, he and Diana Burnwood, a business partner of his from the ICA, decide to create an organization focused on a more moral basis.

Powers and Abilities

• Peak Human Condition: 47 is at the pinnacle of physical ability and in top physical condition. His strength, speed, agility, reflexes, durability and endurance are at the highest level for a man his age, height and weight. He is capable of taking extensive damage in combat, surviving in freezing temperatures, climbing down the side of buildings, running and jumping across buildings at great heights, withstanding intense physical pain and torture, running at incredible speeds for long periods without tiring and even breaking other men’s neck with ease.
  • Enhanced Strength: He is physically strong even when compared to adult males of his size and build in peak condition; being able to climb pipes, move, drag and dispose of bodies, snap necks, knock opponents unconscious, force open locked gates just by slamming people into them (as seen in Hitman: Blood Money), and jump from balcony to balcony with minimum effort. Displays of his peak-physical strength have been seen many times, as he is even able to strangle a physically powerful being, such as Tzun. He was even able to toe-to-toe with Sanchez, a man who is physically superhuman due to Warren Ashford's experiments and even kill him with his bare hands.
  • Enhanced Durability: 47 has survived things that would kill normal humans. He survived a fatal gun wound and was able to walk before passing out. When he was thrown by Sanchez through a wooden door with his superhuman strength, all it did was knock him out for a few minutes. He had even survived being electrocuted by the voltage that would kill a normal person.
  • Enhanced Speed and Reflexes: Agent 47 is apparently able to easily run 10km (6.2 miles) in 36 minutes and 39 seconds. His reflexes are also similarly superior. He was able to react to Mark Parchezzi III trying to shoot him, by immediately dodging the bullet.
  • Enhanced Metabolism: He has an inhuman and effective metabolism, which has a limited, but sufficient healing factor. His healing is efficient enough to help him recover from a gunshot in a few hours despite him needing some medical attention in order to have the bullet removed and the pain suppressed with some painkillers. He was even tough enough to walk for a long time with critical injuries before passing out. Also, such metabolism allows 47 to quickly recover from the symptoms of drug withdrawal, as revealed in Hitman Damnation.

Weaknesses

• Despite his perfection as an assassin, he still has the same biological needs as any other normal human, though he can go weeks without supplies or rest and maintain optimal capacity.
• His emotionless demeanor and apparent lack of empathy frequently make it difficult for people to connect with him.
• He has a soft spot for children, particularly Victoria, which frequently comes into conflict with his ruthless nature (but if he is motivated enough, he will not hesitate to kill innocents or even small animals like birds).
• He will put himself in danger to protect those he loves.
• He rarely expresses his emotions to anyone, believing that doing so would jeopardize his mission.
• His Instinct cannot slow his perception of opponents who are as fast as he is, and his precognition is only useful for trail location.
• He can be pretty stubborn at times and will not abandon his mission at any cost, even disobeying orders and taking matters into his own hands.
• Prior to Hitman: Absolution, he was briefly addicted to painkillers.
• As a result of being brainwashed as a child, the majority of his prior memories of Providence have been erased, though he has been gradually regaining them, and they do not actually impair his abilities.
• The Walther WA2000 sniper rifle requires constant maintenance to maintain its accuracy.
• Unarmed, 47 is much less dangerous.
• 47 does not often achieve running speed, which can allow for him to be caught up to.
• If found doing something illegal in his disguise, he cannot wear that disguise again, unless he may be identified.
• 47 is susceptible to ranged weapon fire, explosives, flashbangs, melee combat, and electricity.
