Behind the Scenes[]
- "At one point Cosmo Faulkner was a far bigger character and there was a big-sub plot where he was following Agent 47 and his actions throughout the game."
- ―Description of Cosmo Faulkner on the Full Disclosure
Originally Faulkner was to have a more prominent role in the game. One of his known roles was entering the basement of Blackwater Park where a younger woman was murdered by Blake Dexter. This would originally be the cause of the buildings lockdown and would force 47 to sneak into the crime scene to get past. If the player disguised themselves as a coroner, Faulkner would escort 47 through the crime scene of the murder and explain in thorough detail as to what happened.
On 4 of 4 of the Cosmo Faulkner page in Full Disclosure, it would showcase the crime scene in full in the basement. The image would show the parents of the deceased young woman, coroners, nurses, doctors and police officers all around. Faulkner would be talking to Agent 47 (if still wearing the coroner outfit) and other police officers giving a professional assessment to the crimescene and his own reaction to the murder.
