Agent 47 is a professional assassin and the player character in the Hitman video game series.

Modus operandi

47 specializes in assassinations, and has a diverse bag of tricks that he can use in the process of taking out his targets. Probably the most important one, serving as the trademark of the series, is disguising himself in order to gain access to restricted areas, get close to his targets or otherwise place himself in a favorable position to carry out the assassination. When killing his targets, 47 often uses the environment and behavior of the victim in his favor, for example by poisoning their food or drink, or by staging an accident (often involving falling objects or explosions). At times he is forced to carry out more elaborate plans to manipulate individuals' behaviors in order to find a good opening for performing the assassination undetected. 47 also has a number of tools at his disposal when more direct methods of assassination are required. For killing targets silently and discreetly, he usually resorts to garroting them with a fiber wire or, depending on the game, injecting them with a poison syringe. As a skilled marksman, he can also make use of a number of different firearms, some of the most common being a sniper rifle for killing targets from a distance and 47's signature weapons, a pair of silenced AMT Hardballer pistols nicknamed the "Silverballers".
