Sully Bowden (also known as "The Rage" and "The Crusher") is a former middleweight champion and Elusive target in HITMAN™ III. He appeared in the mission End of an Era.

Biography

The only son of a blue collar family in New York, Bowden was a pampered child-but ultimately a bad seed. Always protected by his over-protective parents whether the young Bowden was to blame or not. But it all fell apart, when his parents got divorced. He began unleashing his frustrations out on his classmates, violently, so it was decided that he take up boxing to release his rage.

Bowden was a natural and when he came of age, he quickly rose the ranks within the Lightweight League and was seen as a serious contender. But the lifestyle of a star in the making was even more seducing than the actual sport. Scandals of sex, drugs, and violence soon followed, but Bowden didn't care. He knew he was a "killer" in the ring - he was unbeatable.

When it came time for the championship finale, he was KO'd during the first round. It was clear that the celebrity lifestyle was doing him no favors.

Humiliated, he began to self-destruct and sunk so low he couldn't even raise his gloves anymore.

But his trainer kept faith and after having picked him up from the gutter, he got Bowden back in shape... even to the rank to Middleweight.

And then the stars aligned for Bowden, when he managed to qualify for the finals against none other than his old nemesis who has KO'd him. It was payback time. But as is well documented by the paparazzi at the time, Bowden, blinded by his abuse of steroids, went too far, killing his opponent in the ring and has been on the run ever since, making a living organizing illegal street fights around the world.

Personality

Sully Bowden is a quick-tempered and aggressive person who is prone to drug-addled outbursts and has very little ethics or morality. He acts as a mentor to some of his fighters, and he enjoys teaching violent sports to those who he considers strong. He despises those who he considers weak and is fine with berating or assaulting them if they displease him.

Description and Behavior

Sully Bowden can be found at The Block, sitting on a couch located in a small room on Level 0. He is accompanied by a bodyguard dressed as a Street Guard, who can see through most non-facility disguises. He does a lot of anaerobic exercises such as doing pull-ups on a push-up bar and cross-punching the air, and occasionally uses a line of cocaine that can be poisoned.

After exercising, he will go to Yuzhong Square. In front of the arcade room, he will talk to his cocaine dealer, chastising her for giving him weak product. The dealer agrees to send him an email about paying him back once she has the money to. Afterwards, the dealer will head to Angus Pritchard's apartment. After the dealer has entered the apartment, 47 can email him with a fake meet-up near the Laundromat. After a few seconds, he will aggressively rant about her as she has failed to fulfill her promise to him, and will eventually head back to his normal route.

He is often found aggressively teaching his fighters and talking to his bookkeeper inside the arcade. During the mission he will beat up one of his fighters for being too weak for him.

"It appears that the Dealer will email Mr. Bowden when she has his money. Maybe a good opportunity to get him away from the main event?"
