Lord Winston Beldingford was a wealthy British man, suggested to be a nobleman, as well as one of the two targets in the Hitman: Contracts mission Beldingford Manor

Background

Lord Winston Beldingford is an eccentric old man of unpredictable temperament.

He was a celebrated hunter in his youth so he's probably a good shot, former parlormaids describe him as amorous.

― Target Intel

Hitman: Contracts

He secretly partakes in human hunting at his manor, with his son Alistair Beldingford and their select group of friends (a parody of The Most Dangerous Game).

He is lustful of the maids in his mansion, and even built a secret passage and two-way mirror near his bedroom that allows him to spy on them showering. He seems to have sexual success with them (he shares his bed with one maid during the level), but it's implied that they otherwise dislike him. It is implied in the briefing that he regularly fires and rehires new staff.

HITMAN™

A picture of him is seen in the tornado shelter on the private militia training site in Colorado in the mission Freedom Fighters, so the militia seems to know about his assassination in the early 2000s.

Trivia

• "Lord", if a genuine title, is only given by the current King or Queen of England and even comes with limited political power. A much lesser variant of the title can be purchased by large-scale landowners, but Beldingford would have to call himself "Winston Beldingford, Lord of the Manor of Beldingford" (which is attached to his property) rather than simply "Lord Winston Beldingford" (which is attached to himself, and would appear officially on his passport, etc.).
• He seems to be very fit despite his age, as he flails around for 12 seconds before dying when being smothered.
