Planning to do two more of these for now, making it twenty in total. Should I make round 20 another special round about an Absolution NPC or one for the older games? Or do you prefer it to be a WoA NPC?

The correct answer: >!Father Francesco from Sapienza.!<

Explanation of the clues:

>!He doesn't talk with either Silvio or Francesca but he can have several conversations with Marco Abiatti from Landslide. He also talks with the Prince, a cardinal who also happens to be an Elusive Target.!<

>!He does appear in World of Tomorrow and Landslide but is absent in The Author mission from Patient Zero despite the target being at the church.!<

>!The Man of the Cloth Challenge requieres 47 to disguise himself as priest without harming Franceso. Luckily there's a spare set or robes in the room with the camera recorder.!<

Guess what? It's another NPC from an Elusive Target. I know these are harder to guess, especially for people who don't play ETs, but I like coming up with interesting clues and this candidate provided me with a lot of them.

The correct answer: >!Gary Cole who appears in “The Wildcard” ET where you have to kill Gary Busey. Before the release there was actually an official vote which Gary should be the target and Busey won.!<

Explanation of the clues:

>!This little trivia is mentioned in the mission briefing and by an NPC in the mission itself. I'm sure the baby seals deserved it for provoking Gary.!<

>!Gary Cole has his own bodyguards, most likely because he could've become a target.!<

>!Not much to say about the third clue (Gary Cole and Gary Busey). But if you curious who the NPC in the picture is: His name is Lee Hong. He's a target in a Chongqing escalation inspired by the first Hitman game.!<

>!Wikipedia says Gary Cole is a real person. And who I'am to doubt them?!<

Since at least two people thought that you had to guess the NPC shown one the first image, I added a new sentence to that page to avoid future confusion.

The correct answer: >!Terry Norfolk, Kalvin Ritter's client from the training mission*.*!<

Explanation of the clues:

>!When meeting Ritter he refuses the offer of a drink stating the reason in clue 1. Yet for some reason he still drinks a few glasses of wine at the bar.!<
>!If you select the “Guided Training” you can see him in the picture, standing next to his car. Barley noticeable but he's there.!<
>!Norfolk hired Ritter to steal some reactor blueprints and is meeting him for the handover.!<

Random trivia: A while ago I played Absolution and in Dexter's penthouse one of his guards was revealed to be a vegetarian in a conversation. Somehow this dialogue stuck in my mind because it was a well written dialogue.

The correct answer: >!Valentina Yates, the wife of Don Yates.!<

Explanation of the clues:

>!In the room where you can poison the ventilation system two NPC talk about how someone got fired because he left a sandwich with meat next to it, resulting in a strong bacon smell and since Valentina is a vegan that was enough reason for her to have him fired.!<

>!Revealing to her that her husband sabotaged her career for his own benefit results in an angry confrontation at a balcony during which Valentina goes full Jordan Cross on her husband.!<

>!She and her husband openly talk about how to get rid of Diana to make Yates the Constant. She even mentions Edwards by name.!<

Turns out the previous one was more challenging. Let's see how many can guess this NPC.

The correct answer: >!Dr. Nicholas Laurent the chief surgeon in Hokkaido.!<

Explanation of the clues:

>!When 47 escorts him to the pill stash he mentions that his father flew helicopters.!<

>!His pill addiction is rather obvious considering how often he begs Nails for another one.!<

>!In Patient Zero the operating theater has been turned into a quarantine zone. So he's no longer present on the map.!<

>!Last clue... yeah I assume most people know that you can make him kill Soders by drugging him and revealing that Soder's killed his father.!<

Lots of people guessed the previous NPC with the first clue. In hindsight that clue made it really obvious, but having an easier one once in a while isn't a bad thing.

The correct answer: >!Dexy Barat, the (ex-)manger of Jordan Cross. Also shows up in Mendoza together with Heidi.!<

Explanation of the clues:

>!Two bodyguards have a conversation about Dexy's previous job. When the weed killer turned out to cause cancer she somehow not only made the company get away with it but also had the victims pay them instead of the other way around.!<

>!She hangs around the penthouse and has a few conversations with Jordan.!<

>!“Hide And Don't Seek” is a Challenge where the player has to pacify and hide Dexy without getting spotted.!<

>!In the bar in Santa Fortuna the player can overhear tattoo artist P-Power having a phone conversation with Dexy where he expresses second thought tattooing a certain drug kingpin.!<

The correct answer: >!Farah the former mentor/friend of Akka from Ambrose Island.!<

Explanation of the clues:
>!You can do a bunch of favors for her that results in Akka meeting and killing Crest. First you need to bring her a coconut, then you need to dig up a hidden box of cigars and finally you need to bring her a picture of Akka's death ally in the militia cell. Albeit you can skip the first two parts and get her the picture immediately.!<

>!Once you bring her the pictures she informs Akka, urging her to show restraint. Obviously Akka does the opposite when meeting Crest.!<

>!Get It Yourself is a Challenge that requiers the player to knock out Farah with coconut.!<

>!She runs the local bar, that's even named after her, where the slap fights take place.!<

After a long break I decided to bring back “Guess the Hitman NPC”. Same rules as before.

The correct answer: >!Hellfried Ziegler. He's the guy outside of the club in Berlin who can get 47 inside if he brings him his “allergy pills”.!<

Explanation of the clues:

>!Surprisingly he hasn't an unique character model. “Clones” of Ziegler can be found on the map. One is even a target in the The Lesley Celebration Escalation.!<

>!Rest of the clues are pretty self-explanatory. I mean his allergy pills could really be normal allergy pills. And the bald waiter with the barcode tattoo on the back of his head who suddenly disappears after serving Novikov a drink that made him drop dead was just a normal waiter.!<
