Unsurprisingly, almost all of 47’s targets are up to their necks in crime, corruption, terrorism, and just about everything else. But with such a wide field of bad guys to choose from,which ones are the worst of the lot? Here are the targets most deserving of their deadly fate inHitman: World Of Assassination.
11The Obnoxious Artist
Dino Bosco, failed movie star attempting to mount a comeback, takes over the town of Sapienza for the production of his film The Icon. While not as dastardly a criminal as some other targets, he is as arrogant and annoying as they come, constantly yelling at the crew to do his bidding during shooting.
He has hijacked the production, spending colossal amounts of money and almost bankrupting the studio to create his ‘masterpiece’. Not only is he insufferable, but he wears an armored costume, making him frustratingly hard to kill. Fortunately, Bosco does his own stunts and there areplenty of dangerous props to ensure this Hollywood jerk meets a grisly end.
10The Temperamental Creep
Tyson Williams, the owner of Haven, leads his company at the forefront of identity management, allowing the rich and powerful to disappear without a trace. He suffers from disease and severe migraines, and is unable to walk for extended periods, meaning he spends most of his time secluded in the villa.

Because of this, Tyson is bad-tempered and irritable, often insulting his guards and workers. He is obsessed with former lover and fellow target Ljudmila Vetrova, who left him due to his condition, and is often seen bitterly spying on her through his binoculars.
9The Murderous Rockstar
Jordan Cross, musician and son of media tycoon Thomas Cross, has achieved international success with his band The Class. Unfortunately for him, he’s highly impulsive and suffers from bad anger issues, resulting in him murdering his girlfriend Hannah Highmore during a bad argument.
His father has since hushed it up, hiring high-profile lawyer Ken Morgan to spin the murder as a tragic accident, allowing the renowned musician to walk free. Jordan participated in this cover-up, and is seemingly indifferent to his crime, happy to continue his luxurious life without consequence. That is, until 47 arrives todeliver a different kind of justice.
8The Awkward Genius
Silvio Caruso, talented bio-engineer and employee of Ether, leads the effort to develop a lethal virus in a laboratory beneath his manor house. The virus is DNA-specific, meaning it can be used to target certain individuals as a discreet means of assassination.
Caruso is socially awkward and had a difficult childhood. He now seeks to wield the virus as his personal weapon of vengeance, employing a private detective to obtain DNA samples of his former bullies, and already possessing a sample of Francesca, whom he knows is spying on him.
7The Drug Lord
Rico Delgado, head of the Columbian Delgado cartel, grows, manufactures, and smuggles drugs from his headquarters in Santa Fortuna. At the helm of one of the world’s biggest criminal empires, Rico is as egotistical and sociopathic as one would expect.

He is ruthless, exacting swift retribution on his father’s killers, andfeeding rivals to his pet hippo. He has also erected a statue of himself in the village and keeps a museum of mementos to immortalize his deeds, with the damage caused by him and his cartel’s operations no doubt widespread.
6The Elitist Twins
Zoe and Sophia Washington, east coast socialites and treasure hunters, head upthe survivalist Ark Societyafter Janus’ retirement. They are insufferably entitled, benefiting massively from their wealth, and have an air of hubris about them.
They also have a mean streak – Sophia drove a sorority rival to commit suicide in college, and the two sisters are suspected of massacring an entire Amazon tribe while searching for relics. All in all, two nasty pieces of work.
5The Corrupt Politician
Marco Abiatti, a populist and fanatical candidate, is running for the office of Mayor of Sapienza. With links to the mafia, Marco intends to sell out the town and convert it into a luxury resort for the wealthy.
He is a greedy, ill-mannered, and uncouth man, urinating on graves and touching people inappropriately. Agent 47 can expose him to the audience by sabotaging the stage manager’s microphone, broadcasting Abiatti yelling at the crew behind the scene, prompting boos and chants from the shocked crowd.
4The Robbing Banker
Claus Hugo Strandberg, a Swedish banker, has stolen billions of dollars of savings from the Moroccan people and is under trial for investment fraud and embezzlement. Having been freed by Reza Zaydan, he takes refuge in the Swedish consulate.

While he appears polite and good-natured compared to some others, the inner workings of his mind are sociopathic in nature. The scale of Strandberg’s crimes, and his ability to stand apparently indifferent to the sufferings and anger of his many victims, make hima target that players will likely enjoy eliminating.
3The Yakuza Lawyer
Yuki Yamazaki, herald of Providence and fixer lawyer for the Yakuza, aims to acquire a list of active ICA operatives from the traitorous Erich Soders. In return, she has secured a rare right-handed heart, taken from a Brazilian child, to be transplanted to Soders.
Yamazaki has also served as a trial lawyer to five Yakuza bosses, tearing apart the prosecution, making key witnesses disappear, and allowing all five crime lords to go free. She has played a pivotal role in keeping most of the Tokyo underground out of prison, allowing them to continue their reign of terror over its citizens.
2The Three Families
The Partners – Marcus Stuyvesant, Eric Ingram, and Alexa Carlise – have jointly controlled Providence since its founding, pulling the strings from behind the scenes. Their scheming has allowed an elite global order to flourish, and resulted in the creation of Agent 47 as a whole.
They have secretly positioned themselves as the most powerful individuals in the world, holding key corporations like Ether, Kronstadt, and even ICA under their thumb. Bringing down their decades-long rule, and subsequently getting revenge for 47’s memory wipe, hasgot to feel satisfying.
