History Characters / HitmanSideCharacters

The Private Masseur stuck in the Swedish Consulate in Marrekesh.

* MuggedForDisguise: 47 can take his place to kill Zaydan.

A sheikh that is currently at the auction.

* ArtificialStupidity: He puts a lot of trust into CICADA, following 47 around until he's taken to the garden pavilion. This can lead to unintentional comedy, as 47 can take him on a tour through the entire palace. This has been fixed with other NPC's, who will not follow 47 into irrelevant areas.

* KarmaHoudini: In a silent assassin playthrough, he gets no comeuppance for his actions. The worst that happens is that he doesn't get paid by Viktor for his actions, due to Viktor being killed by 47. Even this isn't guarenteed, as an opportunity to kill Viktor requires the deal to be made, meaning that Decker actually benefits from his actions.

* BaldOfEvil: He's got no hair, and no morals, considering he is a high ranking member of a terrorist organisation.

* CuttingOffTheBranches: He returns in "The Finish Line" in ''2'' talking to Hector Delgado, and his outfit is able to be worn once again, meaning her cannot be killed in Paris.

[[folder:Marcello Folliero]]
A photographer who is hired to take photos of Abiatti.

* MuggedForDisguise: His outfit can be worn by 47, and it provides a bombastic and effective way to eliminate the CorruptPolitician.

[[folder:Roberto Mulo]]
Marco's corrupt assistant.

* HypercompetentSidekick: He's great at performing his duties, surveying the entire rally grounds to gather information on guests and make sure no bald assassins are stirring up any trouble in the area.
* StrawmanPolitical: He's as extreme politically as his boss.

[[folder:Biagio Coltelli, Baldassarre Arcuri]]
Servers at a baazar.

* MuggedForDisguise: Both their outfits can be worn, giving 47 an opportunity to poison hapless guests or the odd CorruptPolitician if his timing is right.

[[folder:Giovannitti]]
A man Marco wants to meet with.

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: His meeting with Abiatti can be rescheduled, allowing 47 to lure Abiatti to a place where it's easy to silently kill him. This probably was not what Giovannitti wished to happen.

[[folder:Ghostly Fan]]
A LoonyFan obsessed with the Cassandra Snow novels.
----
* LoonyFan: He's obsessed with the novels, spending thousands just to attend the signings.
* MuggedForDisguise: His outfit can be worn to get close to Craig Black.

[[folder:Mike Vogt]]
A critic at the cafe, invited to Craig Blacks' book reading.

* BrutalHonesty: He's rather blunt about how he feels about Black's novels and his prose.
* CausticCritic: He considers Black's books to be "Dross" and "Amateur", Vogt does not hold back his views on these "novels". On principle, he refuses to attend the book signing, despite having an invitation.
* ContinuitySnarl: When "The Author" was added to Contracts Mode in ''Hitman 3'', his name is listed as Marcello Schiavone, despite being a prominent character in that level and having unique dialogue. Diana also has her identify him in the cafe as "Mike Vogt" when you come across him.
* CreatorCameo: His name is in reference to Michael Vogt, the lead writer for ''Hitman (2016)''. His name also popped up in "The Broker" too.
* TheThingThatWouldNotLeave: He is the only person in the cafe (the waiters are cleaning up around him), and the waitress behind the desk just wants him to leave, instead of complaning about Cassandra Snow to her.

The Private Masseur stuck in the Swedish Consulate in Marrekesh.
----
* ICantHearYou: Konny is speaking with his contact; Donald, on his phone. Turning on the TV nearby causes him to be unable to hear anything, promptly ending the call.
* OhCrap: When talking to Donald, he is nothing but ''terrified'' of the whole situation he's managed to find himself in. Unfortunately, Donald doesn't seem to care much for his predicament and leaves him hanging once he's interrupted.

[[caption-width-right:350:[[TheFaceless Sayid's..err..."face"]]]]

A soldier working for General Zaydan and a former close friend of his, who turned against him after his brother was killed during Strandberg's rescue. He is currently being kept prisoner inside an empty room in the school.

* BagOfKidnapping: He has a grey bag over his head. It does not impede 47's vision in the slightest.
** Interestingly, the bag was initially absent in ''VideoGame/Hitman3'' on release, presumably so the mission could work with Playstation VR, but was re-added after fan complaints.
* CrueltyIsTheOnlyOption: Sayid cannot be freed from the school, because if his body is found, he's immediately marked as a non-target kill.
* MuggedForDisguise: 47 can take his place to kill Zaydan.
* RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: Zaydan intends on having him executed for his defection.
* TheStoolPigeon: He intended on whistleblowing Zaydan's plans after his brother was killed by his troops.
* TheFaceless: Downplayed. He has a bag over his head when you visit him when tied to a chair, but knock him out, and take his disguise, and [[UnseenNoMore you get to see what he looks like]].
* TreacheryIsASpecialKindOfEvil: Zaydan intends on having him killed for attempting to whistleblow. On the other hand, most of Zaydan's soldiers (who dislike him to begin with) are sympathetic to his situation

[[folder:Tyler Clark]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/h2016_tyler.png]]
Pam Kingsley's assistant in Morrocco. He's helping her with the interview for Strandberg and has hired someone called "Finley" to be the cameraman.

* DidNotThinkThisThrough: Tyler was in such a rush to find a willing cameraman that he hires a local guy called "Finley" to film Strandberg for an interview. He instead runs off to the Shisha Cafe to brag to his friends as he, [[HatedByAll justifiably]], doesn't want to go ''near'' Strandberg. Pam calls him out on this stupid idea.
* HypercompetentSidekick: He does his job splendidly, unlike Jeff Baker. It's clear Pamela appreciates his dedication to his work.

[[folder:Jeff "Finley" Baker]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/h2016_jeff_finley_baker.png]]
A cameraman named "Finley" that was meant to be helping GNN News.

* CuttingOffTheBranches: Canonically, Jeff gets MuggedForDisguise by 47 to get close to Strandberg as "Club 27" has a pair of NPC characters outside the hotel bar reference the whole interview in full (Specifically mentioning the PrecisionFStrike used by Strandberg to rile people up).
* DidNotThinkThisThrough: Jeff brags about being given money by Tyler, the assistant at GNN to film Strandberg for an interview, but instead runs off to the Shisa Cafe in protest, as he has no intention of going ''near'' the guy.
* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: Jeff will never visit the Swedish consulate to conduct the interview with Tyler and Pam, but canonically, he does get MuggedForDisguise by 47 to get close to Strandberg.
* MuggedForDisguise: 47 can (and canonically, ''does'') dress up as Jeff to help Pam conduct the interview on Strandberg and get close to him.

[[folder:Alden Riauff Hansson]]
A man who has been living in the consulate for almost a decade.

* AttentionWhore: He's upset that Strandberg is getting more attention than him, lamenting about how nobody is talking about him and his actions.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: A rather blatant one of Julian Assange. They're both whistleblowers living in government asylum. They're also both known as being quite the AttentionWhore.

!!!'''Citizenship:''' English
!!!'''Voiced By:''' Natalie Griffiths (Hitman 2016), Traci Lords (Hitman 3)
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''VideoGame/HITMAN2016'' | ''VideoGame/Hitman3''
A former IAGO spy who has found out about Reza's activities

* {{Foreshadowing}}: She's posted right next to the Shisa Den, and talks to someone called Audrey over the phone about leaving [=IAGO=], and mentions to her that she was going to tell Dalia about the orchestrated breakout of Strandberg (the primary target of "A Gilded Cage") and that it's some kind of conspiracy to put the country in a military coup. Now that IAGO is gone, she wants to flee and focus on her career as a model instead.
* HoneyTrap: What she was before IAGO was dismantled by the ICA at the request of [=MI6=] back in Paris. IAGO were using fashion models as a way of infiltrating people of power and wrangling their secrets out of them; Ellinor is one such person. By the time the player meets her in Marrakesh, IAGO is gone, and she has decided to focus on her modelling career, and we next see her two games later in Mendoza as the girlfriend of an NPC called George Baker, dancing the tango on the dance floor.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: She's found out about the extent of Zaydan's activities and understandably wishes to flee IAGO and focus on her legitimate career as a model.

[[folder:Zaki Diab]]
A fortune teller.

* ExcellentJudgeOfCharacter: In "A House Built On Sand", he'll quickly recognise 47 for who he is and panic.
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: Some of his predictions are so eerie that it lends a bit of truth to the idea he may be an actual fortune teller. He's able to see through all of 47's disguises if 47 encounters him during "A House Built On Sand", something almost nobody else in the series has been able to achieve without intimately knowing 47.

[[folder:Shuaib Ali]]
A protestor outside of the consulate.

* LargeHam: He frequently speaks in easy to repeat catchphrases and likes to shout to immerse the crowd in his speech. This is all pretty standard for a charismatic protestor, and it's causing quite a headache for Strandberg's guards who are trying to do damage control for him.

[[folder:Hektor Lindberg]]
An intern who is starting his job at working at the consulate.

* MuggedForDisguise: His outfit can be worn by 47 to get access to Strandberg.

[[folder:Nimr’ Arif Bahar]]
A landlord in Marakkech.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: His ceramics shop is no longer open by the time of 'a gilded cage' being replaced by a shoe shop that is being run by someone else. What exactly caused him to go out of business is never explained.

[[folder:Hilda Berg]]
The former head of security at the consulate

* OnlySaneMan: Well, only sane woman. She's one of the most vocal critics about their decision to host someone as nororious as Claus Strandberg. Since this action ends up causing 47 to break into the building, potentially causing irreparable harm to the consulate and it's workers, her concerns are entirely valid.

[[folder:Shahin Abdul-Barr Maalouf]]
The headmaster of the school. He's recently been evicted.

* ContinuitySnarl: It's implied in "The Angel of Death" Elusive Target that Etta Davis killed him; the issue is that both Hitman 2 and Hitman 3 have specific references to the novel he was writing, either meaning he was SavedByCanon, or that this was an oversight; or that someone else took over writing his novels after he died, it's not made clear.
* StylisticSuck: His novel idea is terrible, a thinly-veiled dramatization of the crisis in Marrakesh, although he is accidentally correct in what he writes is indeed happening in Marrakesh. His blurb makes it seem like awful Tom Clancy fanfiction. Downplayed in ''3'', as he's become famous for his books, though he's renamed the main character "Nick Sparta" to "Jack". A Mendoza partygoer plans to have Maalouf adapt the story of [[spoiler:the Carlisle murder(s), with neither one aware that they are turning yet another one of 47's schemes into a CassandraTruth]].

[[folder:Terry Strong]]
An owner of a shoe shop.

* ButtMonkey: He's only had his shop for a small amount of time, and it's already been taken over by Zaydan and his goons.

[[folder:Ms. Persson]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/h2016_persson.png]]
The receptionist at the Swedish consulate.
----
* BrokenRecord: Rivals Dino Bosco in how much you'll hear her. Justified in that she's trying to get the masseuse, Konni Engstrom, to the desk.
* BadassBaritone: She speaks in a very low pitched voice, as if she couldn't care less about anything.
* OhCrap: She is not prepared for Strandberg's death, making an announcement to urge the employees not to disclose his death to the public just yet, and then quietly sobs before cutting the mic.

[[folder:Irshaad Ismail, Ashraf Raghib Mustafa, Khaleel Rani Nahas and Khuzaimah Afeef Saliba]]
The printing crew.
----
* FalseFlagOperation: What they've been sent to do. They're meant to pose as Crystal Dawn and cause civil unrest to add credence to Zaydan's propaganda that he's hitting back against terrorism.
* MuggedForDisguise: All of their outfits can be worn to infiltrate the school and assassinate Zaydan.

[[folder:Sebastian Krogh]]
A paranoid man talking to a fortune teller.

* SelfMadeOrphan: Implied, as he's planning to murder his mother for her inheritance.

!!!'''Voiced By:''' Matthew Gravelle

A New York indie drummer flown in by Monumental Records to replace The Class' previous drummer.
----
* CuttingOffTheBranches: Dialogue between Heidi and Sierra Knox in ''VideoGame/Hitman2'' confirms that 47 did disguise as De Silva to get close to Cross, as he apparently had no recollection of actually drumming for the band.
* IdenticalStranger: Not to Helmut Kruger's extent, but he bears enough of a resemblance to 47 (bar having a goatee and stubble) for him to be disguised as.
* MuggedForDisguise: His disguise can be taken to meet with Jordan Cross.

!!!'''Affiliation(s):''' Thomas Cross, Jordan Cross, Himmapan Luxury Hotel and Resort
!!!'''Voiced By:''' Rochelle Greenwood

The manager of the Himmapan Hotel, where Jordan Cross is staying and thus an employee of Thomas Cross.

* BadBoss: There are memos from her all over the hotel, most of which contain threats to fire the entire hotel staff for trivial errors. One of her notes threatens the entire staff with termination because one waiter got a pair of room-service orders mixed up.
* NiceToTheWaiter: Inverted. She’s polite to Dexy Barat and Jordan Cross, but nasty to her underlings.
* NoSell: Being the manager of the hotel, Mookjai will see through any hotel staff disguise 47 has.

!!!'''Voiced By:''' Jeffrey Johnson
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/h2016_otis.png]]
Morgan's bodyguard and confidant.

* AffablyEvil: He is quite chatty and pleasant to be around. Morgan's conversations with him helps provides exposition.
* AmbiguouslyEvil: He is the bodyguard to an AmoralAttorney, but whether he has any other skeletons in his closet is never explained.
* TheDitz: Confuses a Football team for Cricket team. Ken is unamused by his comment.
* MuggedForDisguise: His disguise can be worn. It functions the same as the Hotel Security disguise, with the exception of Morgan seeing through it.
* YouALLLookFamiliar: Otis' model isn't unique and is shared by several bodyguards throughout the trilogy. The outfit he's wearing is also identical to the generic bodyguard outfit seen in Sapienza.

!!!'''Citizenship:''' American
!!!'''Affiliation(s):''' John Highmoore (Father), Jessica Highmoore (Sister), Jordan Cross, Heidi Santoro
!!!'''Voiced By:''' Natalie Griffiths

A late actress and the daughter of Highmoore Consulting [=CEO=] John Highmoore and Jordan Cross' late girlfriend, who died a year prior to the events of the mission. Her family hires the ICA to kill Jordan and Ken Morgan, believing that the former had murdered her.

* AccidentalMurder: [[spoiler:Her death was the result of Jordan losing his temper after Hannah mentions his father]].
* CarCushion: The briefing for the "Club 27" mission shows this is how Hannah died.
* ChekhovsGunman: Helmut Kruger indirectly mentions her death in "The Showshopper" when talking to Dalia, who wants him to infiltrate Highmoore Consulting.
* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: The media turned Hannah into one posthumously, suggesting that she was out of control during her death and made Jordan look sympathetic. Subverted when playing the audio tape, where it's revealed that [[spoiler:she was fully sober when Jordan pushed her to death]].
* PlotTriggeringDeath: The reason the contract against Jordan and Morgan happens.
* PosthumousCharacter: Her death happened a year prior to "Club 27", but avenging her death is the main reason her family issued the contract.
* RailingKill: [[spoiler:Jordan pushed her off his penthouse's balcony]].
* YourMom: [[spoiler:A snide comment about Thomas Cross resulted in Jordan snapping and killing her]].
-->'''Jordan''': Don't... tell me... what to do do, Hannah!
-->'''Hannah''': Oh, right... That would be your father's domain.
-->'''Jordan''': [[BerserkButton SHUT UP! SHUT UP!]]

[[folder:Wes Liston]]
The music recorder for Jordan Cross.

[[folder:Jackie Carrington]]
Jackie is a 90's starlet as well as the person who put a hit on Kieran Hudson.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: Ordering a hit on someone is not a very nice thing to do, but the man she wants dead is a slimy douchebag who invades people's privacy like it's going out of style.

[[folder:Julian]]
A member of 'The Class' crew who is sleeping with Jackie.

* MrFanservice: He's quite attractive and is seen in only his underwear. This makes it easier to take his outfit.
* MuggedForDisguise: While he isn't wearing it, it belongs to him and is rather useful, meaning it's slim pickings for 47 if he wants it.

[[folder:Tharn Srisai]]
A chef working on Jordan's birthday cake.

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: He probably didn't expect that the cake he was preparing would be used to kill Jordan.

[[folder:Benjamin Bertram]]
A stalker obsessed with Heidi Santoro.

* MuggedForDisguise: His outfit may be the most useless in the level, as it makes 47 hostile everywhere.

[[folder:Tarrin & Maelng]]
The bug exterminators working in the hotel.

* MuggedForDisguise: Their outfits can both be taken, and while they're not the most useful for travelling through the level, they'll provide some effective ways to eliminate Cross and Morgan in a silent and effective manner.

[[folder:Bob]]
Mrs. Mookjai's assistant.

* ButtMonkey: He takes a lot of undeserved flak from his boss, due to him being an easy target. As it's his job to put up with her outbursts, there's nothing he can do about it.

[[folder:Callum Burgess]]
A man meant to deliever Barat's message to the reception.

* TheStoner: He decided getting high was more important than actually doing his job. Fortunately, 47 can complete the job for him and let him work off the buzz by incapacitating or murdering him.

[[folder:Kittinan Janpong, Hans Graub and Ratsami Panichwit]]
The elite members of the hotel security.
----
* EliteMooks: They're of a higher rank than the security and tend to be harder to take out. While their outfits don't provide any extra benefits, getting rid of them makes travelling the map slightly easier.

!!!Colorado: ''Freedom Fighters''

[[folder:Finn Jacobs, Isaac Kay, Greg Barnes, Joshua Trumbo and Luke Poole]]
The hackers in Colorado.
----
* MuggedForDisguise: Their outfits can be taken, which makes travelling around the farmhouse a bit easier.

[[folder:Lloyd Burgess]]
The pointman for the private militia.

* DarkIsEvil: He wears dark clothing and is working for a terrorist group.
* MuggedForDisguise: Due to almost all his face and body being obscured by his clothes, he can easily be impersonated by 47.

[[folder:William Candler]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/h2016_candler.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:The Helpless Herald]]
A herald for Providence being tortured in the basement.

* ColdBloodedTorture: What he's being subjected to by Ezra Berg, one of the main targets of "Freedom Fighters". He can only be killed by using an Easter Egg or a carefully placed explosive on the windowsill, meaning he's at Berg's mercy until his death.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Candler is being interrogated by Ezra with frequent drug doses in the basement of the house in Colorado, and this does get Ezra some answers. He describes "The Constant" as deliberately looking like a bookkeeper, and, much to Berg's frustration, appears to have no further knowledge to give on other aspects of Providence, such as the names of The Partners.
* PerpSweating: He's tied to a chair, and routinely asked by Berg to disclose the names of The Partners of Providence, which he doesn't do, as it seems he genuinely doesn't know.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: Candlers' kidnapping and interrogation by Grey has the former let slip knowledge of The Constant; the first time such a name has been said in the series, and Berg also mentions The Partners (again, for the first time), both of whom we see much of later on in Hitman 2. Guards around the camp also mention that Berg got him to reveal how Providence works structurally. Without this information, Grey's attacks on Providence would've been much less effective.

[[folder:Robert Powell]]
The Cook for the militia.

* TeamChef: He cooks for all the soldiers, an impressive feat due to the large amount of soldiers at the compound.

[[folder:Matthew Robertson]]
A technician for the militia. He's been tasked with giving Penelope Graves a SecretTestOfCharacter.
----
* SecretTestOfCharacter: What he is meant to do to Graves. 47 can do this in his stead if he takes his outfit and fake Interpol badge.

[[folder:Craig Abel & Timothy Guerrero]]
The bodyguards of Penelope Graves

* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: It's possible to kill them alongside Graves, due to how close they tend to be standing to her when an "accident" occurs.

[[folder:Quince Elliott]]
An explosives expert opening the batty.

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: His bombs and batty can be used to kill Sean Rose, something that was clearly not what he wanted them to be used for.

[[folder:Reymond Kane]]
A technician working on the assault van.

* NoRespectGuy: He's getting chided by Maya Parvati because the customisations top the van is taking a while, and is steadily growing impatient. Reymond, understandably, doesn't like her behaviour.

[[folder:Ewan Morton]]
Sean Rose's bodyguard.

* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: If certain choices are made, he can be violently killed right alongside his boss.

[[folder:Gustavo Torres]]
The Mexican Secretary of Interior who the militia intended to murder.

* SavedByCanon: He survives due to his assailants being murdered before they have a chance to attack him and is doing as well as he can (major life-ruining diplomatic scandal aside) in the present day.

[[folder:Simon Deveraux]]
A paranoid and reclusive CEO of Biosphere.

* {{Irony}}: The weapon that was meant to kill him can be used to kill the person intending to kill him. He never gets to appreciate the irony due to not knowing about it.
* SavedByCanon: Sean Rose never got the chance to assassinate him with the smartwatch he ordered due to the Australian terrorist being killed before he could initiate the plan.

!!!'''Citizenship:''' Japanese
!!!'''Affiliation(s):''' GAMA, "Nails", Akira Nakamura, Erich Soders, Don Archibald Yates
!!!'''Voiced By:''' Matthew Gravelle

The chief surgeon at GAMA in Hokkaido in charge of Erich Soders' operation.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: He is a very timid man, but he does have his limits. If you [[YouKilledMyFather make him discover that he's trying to save the man who killed his father]], he will kill Soders under the influence of hand stabilization drugs, which causes amplified rage.
* ConsummateProfessional: Even if it is revealed that Soders killed his father, he will continue operating on Soders regardless, even stepping out to assure an associate over the phone that he will still perform the surgery as if nothing happened. If you dose him up on his pills, though, that can all change...
* DeadlyDoctor: If he finds out that Erich Soders killed his father, he will "accidentally" kill him during the operation, provided that he's all drugged up.
* DeathByIrony: If the player wants, his death can be made to look like an accident, exactly like he did to Soders.
* DramaticIrony: He's trying to save the man that murdered his father. This can be averted if the truth is revealed to him.
* FunctionalAddict: He needs to take pills on a regular basis to prevent his hands from shaking. Luckily he has a drug dealer at the hospital. This can be turned against him to either knock him out or to cause a drug-fueled rage that would make him kill Erich Soders.
* GoodCounterpart: To Ito. They're both doctors who are on drugs to help keep them stable during their work. While Ito uses his position to harvest organs while staying under suspicion, Laurent tries to stay legitimate throughout his work. Ito targets people indiscriminately while Laurent will only kill Soders if it's revealed that Soders is his father's murderer.
* HeroicBSOD: Suffers this big time if Erich Soders died, even if he's responsible for it.
* MakeItLookLikeAnAccident: He can dispose of Soders this way if it's revealed that Soders murdered his father. This makes the death come across as medical malpractice rather than the murder it really is.
* MuggedForDisguise: His outfit can be taken in order for 47 to "complete" the operation himself.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: His reaction to murdering Erich Soders himself could be this, as he will leave the operating theater and lean on a railing, depressed over what happened.
* NeverSuicide: Laurent's father was the victim of this, being killed in this way by Soders. He can also become a victim of this, if 47 feels like throwing him off the railing after he kills Soders.
* NiceGuy: He is cordial to people around him and treats KAI like a person, having regularly conversations with her. Even after finding out that Erich Soders murdered his father, he refuses to get revenge for the sake of his career and doing what he feels is right. This completely drops, however, once he is high on drugs.
* OddFriendship: He is good friends with KAI, a friendly artificial intelligence.
* PayEvilUntoEvil: What he can potentially do to Soders, killing the traitor in a purposely botched operation.
* VengeanceFeelsEmpty: He seems to have this opinion after killing Erich Soders.
* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: Making him kill Soders will inevitably ruin his career and potentially have him arrested for murder if it can be proven in court. This is a rather cruel fate for a man who has just been shown an extremely traumatic revelation.
* YouKilledMyFather: Erich Soders killed Laurent's father twenty years earlier, so naturally you can arrange for the doctor to find out and kill him.

!!!'''Citizenship:''' N/A
!!!'''Affiliation(s):''' Kronstadt Industries, GAMA, Akira Nakamura, Dr. Nicholas Laurent
!!!'''Voiced By:''' Naoko Mori

An artificial intelligence that controls most of the GAMA hospital.

* ArtificialIntelligence: One of the world's most advanced.
* AIIsACrapshoot: Some of the hospital staff firmly believe KAI is this, however it's averted in the game unless 47 deliberately sabotages KAI to invoke this, after which they starts spouting off creepy nonsense, weird laughter and even weirder facts. The primary reason to sabotage her is to make the operating table go berserk should you activate the procedure.
* BenevolentAI: KAI is quite friendly and will fix any attempts to tamper with medical procedures/equipment unless you sabotage or outsmart it. It even suggests the lead surgeon to try his pickup lines on it.
* ChekhovsGunman: It's developed by ''Kronstadt'' Industries, which will play a major role in the sequel.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Once tampered with, KAI will mumble nonsensical phrases.
--> "Why yes, Mr. Magpie. It is a lovely day for a picnic."
** Her prototype, Ayakashi, is an even bigger one, due to being an {{Expy}} of [[VideoGame/Portal2 Wheatley]].
* DevelopersForesight: Tampering with KAI will still have her send her usual hospital-wide announcement to Jason Portman and is re-recorded to be in her "corrupted" voice. This is quite notable because unless you've played most of the level to unlock the surgery starting location (or know how to get to KAI fast enough to sabotage her, which also necessitates knowing the level fairly well), this corrupted version of the voice line is not likely to be heard by most people, as you still require a keycard/ scrambler/ directors disguise to access KAI, with all but the middle option not being easy to get to.
** There's no real reason to tamper with KAI in "The Snow Festival", but her dialog is unchanged if you happen to do so (including the above quote, further putting it into this trope).
* DissonantSerenity: Her polite MachineMonotone never falters, even when she realizes she's being attacked. The worst she does is politely point out that tampering with her systems could result in a severe legal action from her creators.
* EnterSolutionHere: Tampering with KAI requires knowing the sequence of how to shut her down. Removing any one rack has her force a reboot, while showing the correct sequence on her screen, which corresponds to the server racks in the room. Accidentally pulling the wrong rack electrocutes 47.
* FunWithSubtitles: When KAI rattles off MouthfulOfPi when tampered with, the subtitles also show the numbers KAI is saying, which the devs really didn't need to do as such a number is known for being unwieldly, long and hard to remember by anyone that hasn't got a degree in mathematics. Naturally, the devs listed it out of courtesy to deaf people, so they too could enjoy the EasterEgg.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: Frequently weirds out Dr. Laurent with some of the things she says, which are mostly cases of either MySensorsIndicateYouWantToTapThat or its inability to understand human social customs.
* MachineMonotone: Speaks with a robotic, drawling Japanese accent at all times, even when going haywire.
* MasterComputer: The thing is quite important for the hospital, especially in surgeries, as it can fix any "errors" that 47 causes to the equipment.
* MouthfulOfPi: While sabotaged, KAI can decide to start slowly counting off one-million digits of pi. However, she eventually stops short of one-hundred digits, determining that, "pi is boring."
* PuzzleBoss: While sabotaging it down is not necessary, it requires a certain strategy. Reaching it requires either the hospital director's disguise, the master keycard or one disposable scrambler. Then you need to pull out 4 pieces of it in a certain order or you get shocked. Fortunately, pulling the wrong one forces it to reboot, during which you can see the correct sequence to destroy it. Successfully pulling all 4 pieces in the right order shuts it down for the rest of the level.
* {{Robosexual}}: She makes some odd advances on Dr. Laurent, after finding out that he's been recently divorced. She offers to help him practice dating, much to his discomfort.
* ShoutOut:
** Her single eye, polite MachineMonotone and the need to enter her server room to sabotage her and the Hokkaido hospital systems invokes [[Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey HAL-9000]]. After being tampered with, her eye even turns red.
** There's an EasterEgg in which you can find her prototype, Ayakashi, a [[VideoGame/Portal2 Wheatley]]-esque CloudCuckoolander AI who is confined to a spherical, metal construct reminiscent of the Aperture Science Personality Cores.
** Some of KAI's ramblings are direct references to specific things:
*** Pulling out the third rack makes KAI state where she was made and who made her, as well as telling 47 a joke that "father" taught her. This is in reference to a similar scene with similar dialog in ''Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey'', when HAL-9000 does the same thing when Dave takes out her memory chips.
*** Another ramble is her referencing the Poem [[https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tyger-Burning-Bright-Much-Loved-Half-Remember/dp/1843175940 "Tyger Tyger, Burning Bright"]] which is all about a person wondering who created the Tyger in question, which is thematically appropriate for an AI to spout out. KAI even gets goosebumps reading it out loud.
*** KAI also sings a good chunk of Johann Strauss II's ''"Blue Danube Waltz"'', which is also associated with ''Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey''
*** During her haywire rambling, she alludes to ''[[VideoGame/{{Portal}} Portal's]]'' cake meme:
--->“Are you the party planner? I am sixty-five-million seconds old today. Oh, I hope there will be cake! There will be cake, won't there? I was promised, you see. If there is no cake, I really do not think I could bear it.”

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/h2016_ito.jpg]]
!!!'''Citizenship:''' Japanese
!!!'''Affiliation(s):''' GAMA, Akira Nakamura, Himself
!!!'''Voiced By:''' Oliver Cotton

The chief mortician at GAMA, who uses the morgue as a front for organ harvesting.

* AffablyEvil: Ito is soft-spoken and enthusiastic about his job and encourages his assistant after he expresses desire to work full-time at the hospital. This is despite the fact he runs an organ harvesting ring and is likely going to cut up [[ButtMonkey Agent Smith]].
* AssholeVictim: After all he's done, it's hard to feel sorry for him if 47 sets the stage for him to be DrivenToSuicide.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Ito is bipolar and clearly has a few screws loose, yet is excellent at outsourcing trafficked organs and is an effective mortician.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: When he's drugged up, he refers to the organs as his babies and gets into personal talk with them. In addition, he constantly sings "Hallelujah" while gleefully running around the organ fridge.
* CreepyMortician: Not only is he involved in organ harvesting, he's overly enthusiastic about his job and acts as if the organs are his children.
* DeadlyDoctor: Well, deadly mortician. He uses his occupation to kidnap people and harvest their organs.
* DrivenToSuicide: Should his dosage be decreased, he will proceed to head to the railings of the zen garden and jump to his death. One of the challenges involves drugging him again to prevent this.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Disturbingly enough, he feels this for the organs he harvests, who he sees as children, should his dosage be ramped up enough.
* EvilCounterpart: To Laurent. They're both a FunctionalAddict who also happen to be very good at their jobs. While Laurent will be driven to kill Soders if the truth about his father's death is revealed, Ito is evil from the get go.
* {{Expy}}: Of Malcolm Sturrock. They're both psychopaths who hide in the background of the level they appear in, drastically changing the tone of the mission when encountered due to being far more depraved than the main targets. While sneaking past or murdering Sturrock is required to complete the mission, Ito can be completely avoided with no penalty.
* FourEyesZeroSoul: He has glasses and is a murderer and organ harvester. While he does show kindness to his fellow doctors, it does little to detract from how depraved his actions are.
* FunctionalAddict: To an extent. He's extremely reliant on his neurochip-delivered medication, lest he go insane, but he still is able to carry out his job as a mortician to an impressive extent. If his dosage is lessened, he will start acting erraticaly, doing completely abnormal things that go far beyond what someone with only Bipolar disorder would be capable of. Whether this is his true personality or a strange form of withdrawl is unknown.
* HiddenVillain: He's extremely evil, but his crimes will do undiscovered by most players, due to his storyline being completely optional.
* JapanesePoliteness: A very dark version of this. He's Japanese, and despite his monstrous actions, he's got impeccable manners and is rather friendly to those around him.
* KarmaHoudini: Since he's not a target, he likely gets away with all his crimes. You can kill him, though there's no incentive for doing so other than a lot of extra dialogue.
* MoodSwinger: Suffers from Bipolar Disorder, so he has a neurochip implanted in his brain that can be used to alter his mood. This can be used to kill him.
* MushroomSamba: Increasing his dosage will cause him to go into this.
* ObviouslyEvil: Most people covered in blood with a stern and sinister expression aren't up to any good. Ito is no exception.
* OrganTheft: The operation he runs out of GAMA's morgue. He obtained Soders' heart transplant from a poor Brazilian.
* SerialKiller: Heavily implied, as he's already got someone trapped in his morgue who he is planning to harvest. It is likely this isn't the first time he's held someone captive for this reason.
* SoftSpokenSadist: He generally keeps a calm and personable tone, even when ranting to the organs he has harvested.

!!!'''Citizenship:''' Unknown
!!!'''Affiliation(s):''' Liberation, Rebecka
!!!'''Voiced By:''' Timothy Watson

A former member of Liberation.

* ButtMonkey: Losing your girlfriend to a death cult and eventually dying of the virus that killed your girlfriend designates you as a butt monkey. Fortunately, the last option can be prevented by 47. His presence in Hitman 3's featured contracts for when the Sapienza and Bangkok Patient Zero maps were added to contracts mode, and two of them ("Ludonarrative Diossonance", "Cult Classic") involve killing Jeff, while the final contract ("Dexter Denoument") is about ''saving'' him.
* ContrivedCoincidence: He can appear in all four of the Patient Zero camapigns' missions (the third being ''a restricted paramilitary compound'') if you save him from committing suicide, see DeathSeeker below.
* DeathSeeker: He will be seen grieving his girlfriend's suicide in "The Author", eventually running off a cliff at midnight. Stop him from doing ''that'' and he'll inexplicably be in Colorado, where he'll attempt to set himself alight with an oil drum. Save him from '''that''' and he'll appear in "Patient Zero" as a content person walking around the facility and a letter in his room notes that a "heavenly angel" is looking out for him and so he has decided to not to end his life.
* DrivenToSuicide: You can find Jeff in "The Author", sitting on a bench and looking depressed. You can read a suicide note next to him, where he mourns the loss of his girlfriend to Nabazov's cult. If you hang around him for a while, Jeff will get up, run to the cliff screaming and jump off. He'll then attempt to set himself alight with oil during "The Vector". Should he end up being infected by the virus in "Patient Zero", he'll jump off the railings of the hospital's garden.
* EmbarrassingTattoo: Follow him into his room in "The Source" after his fight with Rebecka and he'll call up a tattoo removal service to remove the cult symbol on his forehead.
* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: Regardless of how events play out in Bangkok, Rebecka is canonically killed by the death cult in Bangkok, as revealed in the following mission; "The Author", where Jeff is mourning her in a bench in the main square of Sapienza. No matter if you save Jeff and Rebecka by pacifying them in Bangkok, only Jeff will be present.
* GenreSavvy: Seems to be the only person in the level who realises Oybek is an evil bastard.
* {{Hammerspace}}: In "Patient Zero", he can conceal and carry battle axes, katanas and other large objects on him, something 47 cannot do in ''2016'' (as he cannot hold more than two large objects, neither of which can be concealed), but which requires the briefcase to pull off in ''2'' and ''3'' (but only one large item can be concealed).
* HawaiianShirtedTourist: Wears a crimson and white Hawaiian shirt in all of his appearances, even on a snowy mountain in Hokkaido.
* PetTheDog: If you save his life twice and make sure he doesn't get the virus, Jeff regains his will to live and becomes a much happier person.
* OnlySixFaces: He shares his face model and shirt with a bunch of the male [=NPCs=] from Sapienza, minus the cult's christening symbol on the forehead.
* OneShotCharacter: He only appears in the Patient Zero campaign as an NPC who loses his girlfriend to ritualistic suicide and attempts to join her in the afterlife to be with her. Its oddly dark and touching for a NPC whose sole purpose is to give you a cult disguise.
* VideoGameCaringPotential: Saving his life in each level leads to his story having a happy ending and him regaining his will to live.

* BullyingADragon: Viktor is a mobster and one of the most dangerous men in the world, specializing in global espionage. Valerie is a fashion blogger. Valerie is cocky enough to brag to Viktor's face that she has intel on him.
* GoodIsNotNice: Well, she's doing a good thing by exposing Viktor for the villain he is, but her demeanor and methods for finding the truth are absolutely detestable.

* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Valerie cares more about exposing Viktor for the attention it will bring her failing magazine rather than out of any noble reasons.

* SuicidalOverconfidence: She has enough nerve to taunt Viktor to his face, saying that she knows his darkest secrets. This lets Viktor know someone is onto him, causing him to panic about how to deal with this. Giving that Viktor is a firm believer of MurderIsTheBestSolution, this is an incredibly stupid decision that she is fortunate to have gotten out unscathed from.
* TitleDrop: Her magazine is called the showstopper, which is also the title of the mission she appears in.

Dalia finds out and plots to kill her, with her only ally in an incredibly dangerous place being a CICADA guard with a crush on her.

* NotWhatISignedOnFor: Hailey is a spy for a ''fashion magazine.'' She's spying on a woman who is the head of an international crime syndicate and is justly terrified.
* ProperlyParanoid: She's terrified Dalia will kill her, which is completely correct, as Dalia is already planning on how to dispose of her.
* RewardedAsATraitorDeserves[=/=]YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Believes, correctly, that this is what Dalia has in store for her.

* BrainlessBeauty: He's a supermodel, but he is woefully out of his league compared to people like Dalia, being absolutely unaware of how convoluted and dangerous her schemes are. He's a nice guy, but too stupid to comprehend how illegal what he is being asked to do is, merely wanting to retire from a stressful job and start his business. It's safe to say that Dalia played him like a fiddle.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Despite wearing dark blue and black, looking like 47 and wearing ominous makeup that invokes ExcessiveEvilEyeshadow, he's actually a reasonably nice guy who is in over his head.

* IdenticalStranger: Looks almost identical to 47 and the latter can pass as the former even without makeup. Albeit, that's because Helmut is rarely seen without his. A side-by-side comparison of Helmut and 47 disguised as Helmut shows there are enough subtle differences that he's unlikely to be, say, another Mr. 17.

* HypercompetentSidekick: He's great at performing his duties, surveying the entire rally grounds to gather information on guests and make sure no bald assassins are stirring up any trouble in the area.
* StrawmanPolitical: He's as extreme politically as his boss.

[[folder:Biagio Coltelli, Baldassarre Arcuri]]
Servers at a baazar.

* MuggedForDisguise: Both their outfits can be worn, giving 47 an opportunity to poison hapless guests or the odd CorruptPolitician if his timing is right.

[[folder:Giovannitti]]
A man Marco wants to meet with.

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: His meeting with Abiatti can be rescheduled, allowing 47 to lure Abiatti to a place where it's easy to silently kill him. This probably was not what Giovannitti wished to happen.

[[folder:Ghostly Fan]]
A LoonyFan obsessed with the Cassandra Snow novels.

* LoonyFan: He's obsessed with the novels, spending thousands just to attend the signings.
* MuggedForDisguise: His outfit can be worn to get close to Craig Black.

[[folder:Mike Vogt]]
A critic at the cafe.
----
* BrutalHonesty: He's rather blunt about how he feels about Black's novels and his prose.
* CausticCritic: Well to be fair, Black's books are hot garbage, and Vogt does not hold back his views on these "novels." This may be why he's not allowed at the book signing.
[[/folder]]

* LargeHam: He frequently speaks in easy to repeat catchphrases and likes to shout to immerse the crowd in his speech. This is all pretty standard for a charismatic protestor, and it's causing quite a headache for Strangberg's guards who are trying to do damage control for him.

* MuggedForDisguise: His outfit can be worn by 47 to get access to Strangberg.

* OhCrap: She is not prepared for Strandberg's death, making an announcement to urge the employees not to disclose his death to the public just yet.

* ColdBloodedTorture: What he's being subjected to is brutal, and he can only be killed by using an Easter egg, meaning he's at Berg's mercy until his death.

* IntrepidReporter: She's a fashion journalist turning to investagative journalism because of the salacious information she could obtain from this avenue. She does get her assistants to do the dirty work though.
* JerkAss: She's willing to send her employees on incredibly dangerous tasks, and is cold and unsympathetic to them to boot. The only reason she isn't a fully fledged HateSink is because she is trying to expose Novikov's actions, even if it's for less than honorable reasons.
* LackOfEmpathy: She has no care for her employees, knowing how dangerous what she is asking them to do is, yet not caring because she needs a bombshell to bring her back to prominence. She brushes off her terrified assistant's concerns, flatly telling her she doesn't care.

* TooDumbToLive: She is very lucky Viktor and Dalia die before they can deal with her.

* TheDitz: He's not very smart, being naive enough to walk right into Dalia's web of intrique.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: He's first encountered posing for modelling photos before phoning someone to announce his meeting with Dalia, showing that he's a handsome and naive man who takes orders from others.

* ArmsDealer: An AntiVillain example. He sells weapons to the govermnent to combat terrorists, yet also works with equally dangerous people to mantain his business.
* CallForward: He's trying to undermine Kronlund (the early name for Kronstadt Industries), a company that comes into prominence in "Situs Inversus".

* AmbiguouslyEvil: He is the bodyguard to a murderer's lawyer, but whether he has any other skeletons in his closet is never explained.
* TheDitz: Confuses a Football team for Cricket team, and Ken is ''not'' happy about this.

* NiceHat: He's got a white hat that fits the style of the rest of his clothes. 47 also wears it if he takes his outfit.

* NiceHat: As befitting of his status as a high-ranking KGB officer.

A bohemian stoner at the top of the clock tower.

* NewAgeRetroHippie: What he is. Though he's willing to sell cocaine for the Delgados.

[[folder:Sophus Fatale]]

* TheConfidant: Like Donovan is to Viktor, Fatale is this to Margolis. The two of them discuss schemes and how they should approach upcoming situations. Dalia seems to trust him, a rarity for such a paranoid woman.

[[folder:Sophus Fatalé]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/h2016_sophus_fatale.png]]
A confidant to Dalia Margolis, and talks on multiple occasions to her about [=IAGO=] operations.

* RightHandMan: Seems to be this for Dalia, often advising her on issues and how to solve them.
* NoHonorAmongTheives: Seems to have a disdain for Viktor, even suggesting [[NeverSayDie "putting him down"]] though that may be because of his recent actions to try and barter with an assassin (The Shadow Client).

[[folder:Santa Claus]]
It's Santa! He can teleport at whim. He appears exclusively in Holiday Hoarders.
----
* MuggedForDisguise: While his outfit isn't that useful normally, it can be worn by 47 if he wishes. It becomes a permanant addition in 47's wardrobe if he completes all the challenges in the level, meaning poor old Santa doesn't have to keep being stripped to his underwear so 47 can look like him while assassinating targets.

[[quoteright:330:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/roberto_vargas.png]]

The receptionist at the consulate.

* OhCrap: She is not prepared for Strangberg's death, making an announcement to urge the employees not to disclose his death to the public just yet.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: She may not have much in terms of morals, but even she is unwilling to dive deep into the spider's nest that Dalia has created.

* AntiVillain: She has willingly worked with Dalia to make some money to start her business, but has a genuine desire to go legitimate and leave her past behind, even refusing a generous offer from Margolis.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: She may not have much in terms of morals, but even she is unwilling to dive deep into the spider's nest that Dalia has created

* CallForward: He's talking on the phone with Jordan Cross, a target in a later mission.

* CallForward: He's trying to undermine Kronlund (the early name for Kronstadt Industries,) a company that comes into prominence in the second game.

A reporter who is covering the events of the fashion show.

* BrutalHonesty: She speaks her mind whenever someone interrupts her broadcast or if Jay goes off on a tangent about something ridiculous. To put it mildly, she is extremely blunt.
* TheCameo: She appears in news reports in the second and third game, being one of the two reoccuring news presenters, along with Pamela Kingsley.
* CuttingOffTheBranches: She canonically survives the events at the fashion show, so 47 killing her is rendered moot.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She is maybe a bit too blunt to Jay, but she seems to get on well with him, putting up with his ludicruous ideas with only a reaction of moderate annoyance at the very worst.
* MrsExposition: She provides some general insight into the two targets, likely the first NPC dialogue the player will be exposed to, if they're so inclined to eavesdrop on her news report.

* SavedByCanon: She returns in later missions through news broadcasts, so it's implied she survived "The Showstopper."
* UnexplainedRecovery: Since she is still alive and well, it's canon that she survived "The Showstopper." No matter what harm 47 could have inflicted on her (be it being sliced to death with a medieval ax or blown up with a rubber duck,) it clearly didn't stick (if 47 going on a rampage fits into canon in any way.)
* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: You can sabotage her broadcast and then steal her camera, ruining the last possible opportunity she could have had at presenting a news report about Viktor's fashion show.
** Even more blatantly, you can just brutally murder her, ending her reporting days once and for all. Fortunately for her, this conflicts with canon.

* CowardlyLion: Padre Francesco is hiding in the back of his church because he rightly believes Abiatti will kill him, but if forced to confront Abiatti Francesco will refuse to collaborate with Abiatti's plans and threaten to go to the press about Abiatti's crimes even though it would break his vow of silence.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Downplayed. In the training mission, she mentions being disturbed by Silvio's anti-social behaviour he displayed as a child... the behavior ''she herself'' encouraged in Silvio.
* {{Expy}}: She's basically Hitman's version of Norma Bates. Fitting for the mother of the expy of Norman Bates. Ironically, [[spoiler:they're both killed by their son for being abusive]].
* FatalFlaw: Her controlling behavior over Silvio causes him to [[spoiler:snap and murder her]].

* TheGhost: She's dead before "World Of Tomorrow" starts and doesn't appear in any other Sapienza mission, asides from a few namedrops by [=NPC's=] in "World of Tomorrow" and "Landslide". It says a lot about her that Silvio is burning a small portrait image of her in his rooms' fireplace.

* HateSink: She is an abusive, selfish and manipulative bitch who helped turn Silvio into a nervous wreck. Even though she doesn't appear in the Sapienza mission due to being dead, everything you hear about her paints her in a horrible light.

* KarmicDeath: Isabella is [[spoiler:Killed by her own son that she made emotionally dependent on her. 47 even lampshades this by saying that she smothered him so he smothered her]].

* SavedByCanon: Sean Rose never got the chance to assassinate him with the smartwarch he ordered due to the Australian terrorist being killed before he could initate the plan.

* ComplainingAboutRescuesTheyDontLike: The game has a challenge that can be fulfilled by killing Abiatti just as he's about to push Padre Francesco off the church bell tower, but taking out Abiatti this way just has Francesco run and panickedly tell a guard like any other [=NPC=] would - even if you fire the killing shots ''just as Francesco is tipping over''.
