Icon-Target

Craig Black is one of Agent 47's targets in the HITMAN™ mission The Author. He is a renowned author and a sleeper agent of the doomsday cult "Liberation."

Background[]

Craig Black is the renowned, conflicted author behind the enormously successful book "Cassandra Snow: New England Wiccan" three years ago after a number of widely ignored noir science-fiction novels. Wealthy and successful, he harbors a deep-seated frustration at not being taken seriously.

He was seduced to Nabazov's cult while researching a book on the seductive nature of cults, where his professional frustration turned murderous.

Personality[]

Craig Black is high strung and bitter, having little patience or care for those around him while being desperate to find some calling in life, no matter how disturbing it may be. He's also likely insane, in a way that he is being willing to commit bioterrorism on several innocents, most likely children, just so he can be remembered for that instead.

He is also known in the mission for having a deep hatred for his writing and his fans, sounding bored out of his mind anytime he is involved with the Cassandra Snow novels. His reaction to obtaining the virus is only slightly short of relief.

Routes[]

Throughout the first fifteen minutes of the game, Craig Black will be inside the Sapienza Church for the Cassandra Snow book launching event as a Special guest. He will be going outside the Sapienza Church from time to time, and will also wander around the garden's cemetery.

There is an opportunity where 47 can disguise himself as Brother Akram and attend their midnight meeting. It is revealed that he would have used the virus to kill everyone at the upcoming "Cassie-con" convention if he hadn't been killed by 47. His cover will be blown if he isn't killed quickly, as he will realize that 47 won't give him the virus. However, only Craig himself will be hostile towards 47. Ironically, a news report in Nightcall reveals that the Cassandra Snow series lives on despite his death.
