Here's a few of the cut characters from HITMAN 1 and HITMAN 2.
The Torturer is the character I liked working on the most. I almost liked him more than Lucas Grey. He as going to be an elusive target at some point but during game development there are always a lot of killed darlings. He was one of them.
The undercover cops and the pharmacist are from the early days of HITMAN 2016, when Paris was a much larger open world.
