Hitman: The Dark Past Of Agent 47 Explained

Joining the ICA

After being sent out into the wild, effectively being set loose by Dr Ort-Meyer, Agent 47 soon joined the ICA in 1999. Depicted in the 2016 game known simply as “Hitman”, where he was put through rigorous tests by the company. Even being set up to fail at one point by Erich Soders, a high ranking member of the ICA. Though thanks to the interventions by Diana Burnwood, another high ranking member, 47 would pass with flying colours. From here fulfilling his destiny and becoming a contract killer for hire.

As far as we know, from there, Agent 47 was then assigned to take out Lee hong. This was the first of the Four Fathers he would eventually take out. One by one, his biological fathers fell to the unstoppable nature of 47. Unaware of his true relation to the men, 47 made short work of all of them before learning the truth. And returning to the Asylum to confront Ort-Meyer.

The memories of 47 soon returned to him after he killed an accomplish of Ort-Meyer, Dr. Odon Kovacs. Remembering him as the "the one with the needle", this began to unlock the mind of the Agent. Leading him finding the final Father.

Not before fighting through a number of 48 clones. These being made after 47 left on his journey. They were meant to be superior to the Agent in every single way, but like everyone else, they failed.

After killing Ort-Meyer, 47 sneaks passed the SWAT team assigned to take him down and escapes the asylum. From here, he would enter a whole new world of assassination.
