Dr. Odon Kovacs PhD is a target in the mission The Setup in Hitman: Codename 47. He worked as a doctor at the Asylum in Romania and, also as Dr. Ort-Meyer's accomplice in his cloning experiments, which also seemed to include Agent 47's cloning.

Background

Dr. Kovacs has been working at the hospital ever since he finished his studies in medicine at the University of Bucharest. He has specialized in subconscious mind control and behavioral sciences, and went to work on psychiatric hospital subjects.

Not much is known about his life before The Setup, except he was the one in charge to taking care of Agent 47, including injecting him with syringes.

Some time after the hit on Arkadij Jegorov, the International Contract Agency found out that the previous four missions Agent 47 was contracted for were done by one and the same person, Ort-Meyer, thus breaking one of the the Agency's rules. However, using his authority, Ort-Meyer made the board of directors accept one final mission from him: to eliminate Kovacs.

When Agent 47 finally met Kovacs in the Asylum, at first he didn't recognize him, and neither did 47. However, suddenly, 47 remembered him as "the one with the needle". Surprised, he told 47 that Dr. Ort-Meyer is the one responsible for the hits and his creation.

Trivia

• Ort-Meyer presumably offered a contract on Kovacs to lure Agent 47 back to the asylum, as Kovacs is not one of The Five Fathers.
• His name reveals that he descended from Hungarian origins. His original name would be "Dr. Kovács Ödön" using the eastern name order plus the accents.
• Kovacs boasts PhDs in both Genetics and Psychology.
• Killing Odon Kovacs, while convenient, is not necessary for continuing the mission. Additionally, he will never show up as killed during the mission, no matter how he was killed.
