Agent 47 (known as Mr 47, or more simply 47) is a hitman working for the International Contract Agency, who was born on September 5 1964 and spent his life working for them as he is a clone genetically engineered by Dr. Otto Ort-Meyer to be the perfect killer. Dr. Ort-Meyer, a German scientist and ex-serviceman of the French Foreign Legion who ran a mental asylum to cover up the large criminal empire which he ran behind the scenes, created 47 in one of his series of clones, all of which were known as 47 (so called because of their 47th chromosome). The chromosomes in Agent 47's DNA is made up of those of some of the most powerful crime lords in the world, giving him super-human intelligence, strength, stamina and agility, and whilst other clone series' have come close, none have yet matched the standards of 47, and many ended up with very short life-spans.

Appearance

47 is a distinctive man who by default on each mission starts off wearing a black suit with a white shirt and red tie, although during the course of each mission this can be changed by either changing into a set of clothes left lying around (such as in a locker room) or by sedating or killing a person who is walking around and taking their clothes. 47 is also a bald man with a barcode in the back of his head which has his number printed on it, and this may be one of the reasons why guards become very suspicious when they see Agent 47 around, especially when he is dressed in an alternate attire such as a police or security guard uniform. One other thing which makes 47 stand out is the briefcase which he carries with him - although it is not something which must be taken on every mission, it is a large black briefcase with the logo if the International Contract Agency logo on the side.
