* AmbiguousTimePeriod: While we still don't know when the hit takes place (though likely moments before the main missions' hit), Diana explicitly greets 47 a good afternoon, not the evening as she normally states in Paris. The skybox and lighting has been changed to accommodate for this, making it one of the few Elusive Target contracts to give deliberate hints as to when it takes place.

* NewWorkRecycledGraphics: The overcoat and hoodie he wears was later reused in a suit pack released later on in ''Hitman 2''; The "Smart Casual Pack", sporting different textures for the hoodie and without the phoenix emblem on the back. It was later reused ''again'' for the Berlin egg hunt in Hitman 3, where a variant with a yellow hoodie is your reward for completing the escalation.

* FashionableAsymmetry: It may be hard to notice, but Smythe is wearing a singular fingerless glove on his left hand.



* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: His appearance and infamy (minus the homicide, we hope) seems to be based off of Music/JustinBieber, amping up his notorious bad boy streak to extremes. His behaviour is also mostly shouting (which in fairness, there ''is'' meant to be music in the background), but that makes him come off even more of a brash, loud jerk. His name in the game files is also "jbjr", so it's not exactly a subtle pastiche by the developers.

* SwissCheeseSecurity: Smythe's garden party is off-limits to anyone but security or the auction staff, but sneaking into the party by jumping over the fence doesn't count as trespassing.
* VagueAge: Arguably the youngest target in the entire trilogy, heck, the entire ''series''. Considering who he's [[Music/JustinBieber based off of...]]

* LooseLips: He tells an undercover Interpol agent how he managed to smuggle guns from Zimbabwe and North Korea, but doesn't realize he's an agent until after the exchange.



* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Both of them run semi-legal tobacco factories and smuggling operations in Chengdu that take advantage of lax laws and corruption.

* HatedByAll: If you amplified every detestable aspect of Strandberg from "A Gilded Cage" and made him a CausticCritic, then you would have Wen Ts'ai. At least Strandberg ''tries'' to be charming to people, but this guy? He complains about a waiters aftershave ruining the restaurant atmosphere, the chef in the kitchen ''despises him'' and wishes he'd choke on his tie, and Wen constantly critiques the food ''without eating it!'' He's an extremely petty shell of a man who can get enraged really easily over slights people may not even be able to control. At least Gabriel Santos, as sadistic as he was towards people and his staff, is LaughablyEvil by being a LargeHam parody of Gordon Ramsay (and ''[[HorrifyingTheHorror even Santos]]'' wants nothing to do with this guy, saying the mere sight of him in his restaurant could make him, in his own words; [[BringMyBrownPants "F***ING S**T MYSELF"]]). Here, Wen Ts'ai has no redeeming qualities, making it all the more satisfying for the player to eliminate him. It's clear in listening to him for even a single minute , or hell, ''reading his bio'', that he’s an insufferable bastard that totally has it coming.
