Appearance

47 is completely bald. No hair grows on his head, although whether this is from natural hair loss or Ort-Meyer's design is unknown. The only visible sign of hair on his body are his eyebrows, which are black. 47 also has rather piercing blue eyes. A barcode is prominently tattooed on the back of his head (though it is never noticed by NPCs) listing his date of creation and series identification number (640509-040147). His facial features are quite imposing, with a long face, large cheekbones, prominent brow, and recessed forehead. According to information found in Hitman: Blood Money, he is slightly over 6 feet tall.

It has been stated by the game's developers that 47 was originally modeled after David Bateson, the veteran actor who has voiced 47 in every Hitman game yet. Since then, his facial features have evolved between each game to resemble a unique individual.

During his missions, 47 almost always emerges in a well-tailored, silk-lined black suit, with a white dress shirt and his trademark red tie. Along with this suit he always wears black leather gloves. Blood Money tallies the cost of this ensemble to $5000, or at least the cost of being retrieved by the Agency's cleaners should 47 leave the suit behind in the field.

The exceptions to 47's preferred dresswear are the Colombian missions in Codename: 47, and the Eastern missions in Silent Assassin. In Codename 47 wears guerilla camoflauge in the jungle, while in Silent Assassin he wears a protective parka in the Japanese mountains, and a black turban in the Middle East.
