Character Analysis
(Avoiding Spoilers)
Grew up… as the product of a genetic experiment. Agent 47 was born in Ort-Meyer’s asylum as the most successful clone of his kind, engineered to become the perfect assassin. He was trained to be an expert in firearms, combat, disguises, and various other assassination techniques.
Living… wherever his next contract takes him. Agent 47 has traveled all over the world, completing various missions and taking out hundreds of targets.
Profession… assassin. Agent 47 has been trained from birth to do one thing – kill. A contract killer, he works for the International Contract Agency, known to him simply as, The Agency. Their operations and influence are worldwide, and Agent 47 reports to his handler, Diana Burnwood, who supplies him with information, clients, and targets. As the Agency’s deadliest assassin, Agent 47 is feared around the world.
Relationship Status… single. Agent 47 is nearly incapable of feeling or expressing love for anyone. His closest relationship for a long time in his life is his controller, Diana, but even that remains distant. For the most part, he dedicates himself to his work simply because he was genetically designed to do so.
Challenge… completing his contracts and escaping alive. Even the most skilled assassin in the world can’t hide in the shadows perfectly when your job is to eliminate high-profile targets like presidents and crime lords. And although he seems to have accepted his life as it is and rarely questions the morality of his killings, he does not particularly enjoy his work since it was never his choice to begin with.
Personality… cold, professional, and reserved. Agent 47 is emotionless and closed off to the suffering of those he kills. He prides himself on being perfect, poised, and ready to take on any challenge that could come his way. He keeps up an expressionless affect and a monotone voice, and makes sure to calculate and manipulate his way through any environment. If he does show any emotion such as love or regret, it is very rare.

The clone assassin has been played long enough–
now it’s more than a game.
Bred to kill, Agent 47 is The Agency’s most valuable assassin. So when a competing murder-for-hire organization decides to destroy The Agency, the first person they target for elimination is Agent 47. Tasking someone to off the best hitman in the business is one thing; getting the job done is another. When the attempt falls short, Agent 47 is ordered to track down and kill the culprit who is feeding vital information about The Agency to its enemies.
Agent 47 must follow a bloody trail halfway around the world, fight his way through the streets of Fez, Morocco, and battle slavers deep inside Chad. Then he will discover a shattering truth: If he fails at his mission, the price he’ll pay will be far greater than his own life. . . .
