Hitman: The Dark Past Of Agent 47 Explained

The Five Fathers

Otto Wolfgang Ort-Meyer was, in fact, one of the Five Fathers. This group of men came together on the mid-1950s. After serving in the French Foreign Legion together, the men grew an unbreakable bond. They were all of different nationalities and background, something that might just seem surface level. But was actually the key to Agent 47s success.

This because the Five men - Dr Otto Wolfgang Ort-Meyer, Lee Hong, Pablo Belisario Ochoa, Franz Fuchs, and Arkadij Jegorov are, for all intense and purpose, Agent 47s biological fathers. They believed that the combination of so many different nationalities would become the key to perfection. The blood of a German, Chinese, Columbian, Austrian and Kazakh came together to create the perfect killer.

In payment for their DNA, Dr Ort-Meyer provided the four other fathers with fresh organs in payment. This kept the meant looking unnaturally young way into the later years of their life. Though this group with the motto “Blood and Muscle” grew impatient with Ort-Meyer. Fresh organs were no longer enough and they wanted their share of the clones he was producing.

This, in turn, leads to Ort-Meyer setting Agent 47 out into the wild. From here 47 joined the International Contract Agency or ICA for short, and is contracted by a mystery figure to take out the other Four Fathers. Though, the ICA would eventually uncover who this client was.
