The Isle of Sgàil is a small fictional island located in the North Atlantic, and the setting for the seventh mission in HITMAN™ 2, The Ark Society.

Description[]

Cinematic-IsleOfSgail-H2

The remote island.

This desolate, remote island is dominated by a repurposed medieval castle serving as the headquarters for The Ark Society, a secret organization whose plutocratic billionaire members fear the downfall of civilization. Notable is an even more ancient circle of standing stones, suggesting the possibility of a human presence as far back as Neolithic times. The sea around it is extremely stormy and treacherous, and icebergs are visible on the ocean.

Trivia[]

  • The island's exact location and legal status is a mystery, though it is implied to be part of Scotland's Orkney archipelago as seen in the Gifts and Curses cinematic; in Freelancer, the world map mission board shows a more precise location, being placed near the Orkney and Shetland Islands.
  • Two custodians discussing the site claim that the castle was used to store taxes from the British Crown, then later as a prison for aristocrats that couldn't be executed due to their status. Subsequently, it was converted into a black site for MI6 to hold Russian spies during the Cold War. Allegedly, one of these was Janus--ironically later the founder of the Ark Society--who was detained for a week in 1974 before being released, as MI6 was unaware of his true status.
  • The location name "Sgàil" is derived from Gàidhlig (Scottish Gaelic) sgàil, meaning "shadow", "veil", or "ghost".
