The Chef (also nicknamed: The Target, real name: Unknown) is both a scrapped training target while also serving as the original revision of Elusive Target, Gabriel Santos from the leaked 2021 HITMAN™ alpha build. He appeared in the scrapped tutorial level "LongRangeElimination".
Overview - Behind the Scenes[]

The ICA Facility Chinatown square set, used for the scrapped mission.
In the scrapped mission, "LongRangeElimination", Agent 47 is given a "Sniper Heavy" rifle to take down the Chef who is located in a chinatown setting having a meeting with an unidentified civilian/informant[1]. Unfortunately no information is made on the target and who they are but considering the set is inside the ICA Facility, its assumed the Chef is an actor being played by an ICA Agent. The set appears to be an inspiration to the Chinatown square from Hitman: Absolution.
Fate[]
Ultimately the concept of the Chef remained the same and the target was reworked heavily into a real chef being employed for both Viktor Novikov & Dalia Margolis in the Palais de Walewska, resulting in the creation of Gabriel Santos and the elusive target mission "The Chef". The ICA Chinatown set and civilian informant were scrapped for unknown reasons as well.
Trivia[]
- The leaked mission can only be played through fixes from Notex, a popular modder in the Hitman community.
