The Heartbreaker is the fourth Elusive Target Mission in HITMAN™ III, and the thirty-seventh overall, and tasks you with eliminating Philo Newcombe.
The Heartbreaker[]
Diana Burnwood (VO): "Good evening, 47. Your target is Philo Newcombe, a wedding planner who's C.V. reads like a Shakespearean tragedy.
While his job is to make dream weddings reality, he is not in the business of fairytale endings. When one half of a couple catches his eye, Newcombe will ingratiate himself with them. Then during the course of his work he will covertly murder their partner to clear the way for his romantic overtures. Our client was once the subject of Newcombe's infatuation, and lost the love of their life as a result. Having some suspicions, she's followed Newcombe's career closely ever since and noticed a pattern of ill-fated lovers emerging in his wake. When she heard he'd been hired by a couple planning a destination wedding in Argentina, she contacted us about putting an end to Newcombe's sanguine love stories.
Good Luck 47."
