The Plague Doctor outfit is a unique disguise that can be found in HITMAN™.
Description[]
Found inside the observatory of Villa Caruso as part of his collection of historical relics related to the history of science and medicine. The costume is mounted on a display rack in such a way as to appear as if it currently being worn by a person, so wearing it allows Agent 47 to stand in front of the display and blend in, pretending to be an empty costume.
It is one of the few disguises that is even more restrictive than the suit, since entering the church or the graveyard in the Plague Doctor disguise is considered as trespassing. Other than that, all areas which would be otherwise inaccessible by the suit will be considered trespassing.
Location[]
The disguise is unique and can be located in the north west corner of the Villa Caruso grounds, on the ground floor of the Observatory building. It is mounted in the north west corner of the room and Agent 47 can hide inside the costume in order to blend in. Once you cancel blending in, you will be able to move freely around in the disguise. You are able to blend in again in the corner as long as you are wearing the disguise.
There is an Amputation Knife and a Circumcision Knife on display on each side of the costume.

Trivia[]
- The Plague Doctor disguise is based on garments used by some of the real plague doctors who existed around the 15th, 16th and 17th century, although not all of them wore it. A plague doctor was a medical physician who treated those affected by the Black Death, one of the most devastating pandemics in human history, which cost the life of an estimated 75 to 200 million people. The protective suit consisted of an ankle length overcoat and a bird-like beak mask. The purpose of the beak mask was to contain flowers and other strongly scented substances, as it was believed at the time that foul odors caused disease. The costume itself originated in the 17th century.
- The mask is the only thing that was correctly based off of the plague doctors, whose garb had a more cloak-like appearance. They also carried a cane for manipulating patients without touching them and wore a wide-brimmed hat. The game version of the costume has been heavily stylized to make it appear more menacing.
- Sadly, it does not protect 47 from the Bio-lab.
- If you manage to exit the mansion and try to loop back in through the mansion's front gates, one of the two security guards will make a reference to the game Assassin's Creed, where they say, "Looks like someone's been playing too much Assassin's Creed. This is not a cosplay, sir! Please step back, you need to leave."
