The Undying is the first Elusive Target Mission in HITMAN™ 2, and the twenty-seventh overall, and tasks you with eliminating Mark Faba.
The Undying[]
Diana Burnwood (VO): "Good morning, 47. Your target is Mark Faba, also known as "The Undying".
A disgraced former MI5 operative currently working as a freelance assassin, Faba has been confirmed killed by ICA agents more than a dozen times. On every occasion, he has managed to come back from the dead. We have confirmation that Faba has a meeting in the Miami Bayside Center to review details on a new target. An informant at the site has provided us with reliable intel on Faba's expected movement around the Center. This information has revealed several viable approaches. As you know... Our inside man is meeting with the target. Acquire the right disguise. And he'll get you inside the heart of the building. Up close and personal is risky but favors the clean kill. Alternatively... Smuggle in a sniper rifle via briefcase. The Race Tower is a perfect vantage point. But access is restricted. Race security is high. Get through the right door. And time your shot perfectly. Or... Infiltrate through the staff entrance at the back of the building. Access the second floor using the elevator shaft. Move unseen inside the weapons demo room and infiltrate as you see fit. Act once an opportunity presents itself. Or rig the room to your advantage and leave unseen. Be mindful, however, the repercussions of being exposed here would be severe. I'm confident even more opportunities will reveal themselves once you arrive on site. 47, to be entirely honest; this one's a bit of an embarrassment. Please make sure he doesn't come back again.
Good Luck."
