In-Game Biography[]
Jimmy Cilley is from Dallas, Texas. His father ran a gas station and general store, and little Jimmy got his first job polishing and sorting eggs for his dad. After graduating from Harvard Business School, he worked his way up in the oil business, and soon learned that the only way to take it further was through politics. He's a civil-rights advocate, pro-choice spokesperson - and he's strongly in favor of biotech's many advantages such as genetically modified foods and cloning. The Congressional candidate is rubbing elbows, patting babies and keeping it clean for the press in New Orleans, his new constituency. - Hitman: Blood Money
Mardi Gras Parade Speech[]
- "This is one of the most important elections of our life times. I grew up in New Orleans, I was your Congressman for 16 years, Senator for 12, I've been proud to serve the President as Secretary of the Interior for the past 4 years, and still I tell you this, the most important vote ever cast would be my vote to re-elect Tom Stewart this November 5th... Ya afraid of scientific research? Who's afraid of scientific research? Science cannot be stopped. If we slow our cloning programs we are only gonna lose our technology lead over our rivals... Taxes, and healthcare, and the environment, and social security, and medicare, welfare and the list goes on and on. Who you gonna trust? Who can you trust? My friends, I know one man you can't trust, Frank Morgan."
- ―Jimmy Cilley
Appearance[]
Jimmy Cilley is a Caucasian man in what looks to be his early 50's. Based on congressional age requirements, he was at least 57 years old in Blood Money. His weight and height are unknown. He has short balding brown hair but no visable facial hair. He wears a faded blue suit with matching pants. He also has a pin on his chest, most likely for either himself or Stewart.
Personality[]
Jimmy is implied to be a socially liberal, standing for both pro-choice and pro-cloning positions. While this would be unusual for a southern Republican (assuming the Hitman universe's parties are ideologically similar to their real world counterparts), it is possible he is a Democrat or independent, as it is not unheard of for a Republican President to appoint a Democratic Cabinet member, and vice versa. He is endorsing Tom Stewart, which does suggest a shared partisan affiliation, but it is possible he is making a cross-party endorsement.
Jimmy appears to be a stereotypical politician. His speech covers his personal life regarding where he grew up as a child so voters might empathise with him. Starting off small but having a rags-to-riches life, a self-made man story. He then goes through a laundry list of hot-button issues, trying to touch all the bases.
Trivia[]
- In "The Murder of Crows," he tells the crowd that he grew up in New Orleans, while he is actually from Dallas, Texas. However, it is possible he was born in Texas and grew up in New Orleans.
- The politician spends the entire mission on the float, which is inaccessible to the player, and he cannot leave it even to flee. The float is manned with 4 bodyguards who surround him; however, they will fail to protect him from the other assassins.
- If the player manages to incapacitate Jimmy's bodyguards and take their clothes, the outfit given is the same as the local Police Officers, instead of the black suit and tie.
- None of the people in the crowd stop and listen to his speech.
- The life-size cardboard cutouts of Cilley surrounding him on his parade float are the second instance in the series in which a cardboard cutout exists resembling a character, the first instance being in Hitman 2: Silent Assassin, in the mission St. Petersberg Revisited, wherein which Sergei Zavorotko attempted to use one of himself to fool Agent 47.
