Agent 47
Mr. 47 is a genetically-enhanced clone, the culmination of decades of secret research into gene augmentation. His creation was funded by a cabal of criminal masterminds who donated their own DNA to the project.

In the 1950s, five men of various nationalities served in the same unit of the French Foreign Legion - Otto Ort-Meyer, Lee Hong, Pablo Ochoa, Franz Fuchs and Arkadij Jegorov. After their stint was finished, Ort-Meyer ran a mental institution in Romania as a cover for genetic experiments, while the other four all became major crime lords, terrorists or both.

Ort-Meyer's goal was to create "perfect" soldiers, in that they were as physically fit as possible and obeyed orders with intelligence yet loyalty. Ort-Meyer tried to make his discoveries public before 47 was created, but was discredited as a scientist because his radical theories were deemed insane by his peers.

Merely coincidental to his name, he has a 47th chromosome that gives him above-average fitness and intelligence. In real life, possessing an extra chromosome can lead to problems such as infertility, Downs syndrome and premature death. However artificial chromosomes are currently being pursued as a method of inserting new genetic material into genetically modified organisms.

Ein
An assassin with such skill she was given the codename "Phantom", a designation given only to the best killer in the crime syndicate Inferno. She was found by a scientist known as "Scythe Master" and was his first test subject to be given his assassin-processing treatment, receiving the codename "Ein". She has no memories of her past and is incredibly apathetic. Ein fights with a Japanese tourist named Reiji Azuma, who witnesses her assassination, the untrained tourist putting up a fight first disarming Ein of her pistol and fighting her unarmed and then with a knife taken from Ein. Scythe is impressed with Reiji and brainwashed him, turning him into a second assassin, calling him "Zwei". Ein and Zwei are sent to assassinate several rival mob bosses, first in Dallas and then in Los Angeles before Zwei discovers his true identity, being given his old passport by an Inferno boss. Shortly afterwards, "Ein" escapes to Japan with Reiji and changes her name to Ellen and claims to be Reiji's twin sister. A long and rigorous investigation by Ellen and Reiji traces her history back to Ulan Bator, Mongolia, and though the trail manages to stop there, Ellen is able to find some peace in the area. In the OVA, she is shown to have an older brother, and it is suggested the village where she lived was massacred. =Weapons=

Garrote (Both)
A Garrote is a weapon used to strangle a target, by either cutting the wind pipe or cutting off air. They can be made from piano wire, a rope, or even a scarf. If it cuts off blood flow to the brain, it can kill in under 5 seconds.

Switchblade (47)
A switchblade is a folding knife with a spring mechanism that allows that blade of the knife to be rapidly unfolded with the push of a button. Switchblade knives have existed since the 18th century, but it only within the last 100 years that switchblades became associated with crime as they are today. The association of the knife with crime started with the production of stiletto-bladed switchblade- blades with a narrow, double edge- in Italy in the first half of the 20th century. Some of these switchblades were used by Italian gangs in America such as the Sicilian Mafia. The legal action against the knives did not start until the 1950s, when a number of Italian "stiletto" switchblades flooded the market, the first ones brought home by returning US soldiers in 1945. Since the 1950s, switchblades have been banned or restricted in a number of countries.

Combat Knife (Ein)
Ein uses a few different knives in the anime/visual novel, notable among them being a combat knife with a clip point and similar blade to a standard military-issue combat knife. The weapon is painted all black, and has a cylindrical grip with a rough surface for a better grip.

119's Edge
The weapons can both be deadly in the right hands, and are designed for combat. Even.

"Silverballer" Custom AMT Hardballer (47)
Agent 47 uses a customized AMT Hardballer handgun called the "Silverballer". The Silverballer is an AMT Hardballer Longslide is basically a Colt M1911 clone with a stainless steel body, meaning it probably has a range of 30-50 meters. The weapon fires .45 ACP rounds. Agent 47's Silverballer will be equipped with a suppressor and an extended magazine holding 12 rounds. The original AMT Hardballer had a problem with jamming and damage due to galling of the stainless steel, as lubrication at the time was inadequate to prevent this. Agent 47's Silverballer, however, probably has been modified to prevent this.

Mark 23 (Ein)
The Heckler and Koch Mark 23 is a .45 caliber semi-automatic handgun used by US Special Forces, first developed in the 1990s. The weapon comes equipped with both a suppressor and a laser aiming module. The weapon has an effective range of 20 meters and a 12-round magazine.

119's Edge
Ein's Mark 23 for its greater reliability

Taurus Raging Bull .480 (47)
The Taurus Raging Bull is a large-caliber revolver manufactured by the Brazilian arms company Taurus. The weapon can fire a wide variety of different calibers of rounds, however, 47's Taurus fires a .480 Ruger round, a large magnum-caliber round, usually used for hunting large game, but can obviously also be used to lethal effect against a human target.

Colt Python (Ein)
Ein's favored weapon is a Colt Python with a six-inch barrel. The Colt Python is a .357 Magnum caliber revolver formerly manufactured by Colt. The weapon is a double action revolver, with a six-round cylinder.

119's Edge
Agent 47's Taurus Raging Bull for its greater stopping power

Steyr TMP (47)
The Steyr TMP (Taktische Maschinenpistole/Tactical Machine Pistol) is a select-fire 9x19mm Parabellum caliber machine pistol manufactured by Steyr Mannlicher of Austria. The TMP has a rate of fire of 850-900 rounds per minute, and a range of 100 meters. The version used by Agent 47 uses a 25-round magazine.

IMI Uzi (Ein)
The Uzi is a family of submachine-guns using an open-bolt, blowback system. The 9mm cartridge, firing weapon is one of the first to use a telescoping bolt, a bolt that wraps around the end of a barrel, which allows the magazine to be held on the pistol grip. The Uzi was adopted in the 1950s by the Israeli Defense Forces and found its place among all troops. However, it was primarily used by paratroopers and special forces. Captain Uziel Gal designed the weapon after the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. It was cheap and easy to produce, making Israel's premier submachine-gun. The weapon became so popular that it found service in conflicts across the world. Nearly half of the countries in the world use the Uzi and its variants, including the United States, Germany, Kenya, and the Netherlands. The weapon has a range of 200 meters and a rate of fire of 600 rpm. The weapon fires, for the purposes of this match, from a 30-round magazine.

119's Edge
Ein's Uzi for its superior range and capacity.

M4 Carbine (47)
The M4 Carbine is a series of firearms based upon the design of the M16 rifle. It was designed to be a light version of the M16A2 with selective fire options. Created in the United States, the M4 was in service since 1997. The weapon is gas-operated, cooled by air, and has a telescoping stock. The carbine was created, like most carbines, to function like a rifle but have a lighter weight and greater portability. The M4 is slightly less accurate and has less stopping power. The carbine will later shift into the standard firearm for the American armed forces. 35 nations have the M4 as part of their arsenal and is widely used by both their armies and special forces. The M4 has a maximum range of 500 meters for a point target (such as an individual human), and fires 5.56mm NATO rounds from a 30-round magazine at a rate of fire of 700-950 rounds per minute.

Modified M16A2 (Ein)
The M16A2 (officially Rifle, Caliber 5.56 mm, M16) is the United States military designation for the AR-15 rifle. Normally, the M16A2 can only fire in semi automatic and tree round burst modes, however, the version used by Ein appears to be modified for fully automatic fire. It also features a folding, M4-like stock. The weapon has a range of 500 meters for a point target (such as an individual human), and a rate of fire of 750-900 rounds per minute. The weapon uses a 30-round magazine.

Walther WA-2000 (47)
The Walther WA 2000 is a 7.62mm bullpup semi-sutomatic sniper rifle originating in West Germany. Only 176 of them were produced due to the high cost of the rifle. The weapon is has a six-round magazine and a range of up to 700 meters. The weapon has a Schmidt and Bender ten times scope.

PSG-1 (Ein)
The Heckler and Koch PSG-1 is a semi-automatic sniper firing 7.62mm ammunition. The weapon has a range of up to 800 meters, and comes equipped with a 6x scope as standard. The PSG-1 can accept a 5, 10, or 20 round magazine.

119's Edge
Ein's PSG-1 has a larger magazine, however 47's WA-2000 has a more powerful scope. Even.

Explanations
Both Ein and Agent 47 are extremely well trained in unarmed and armed combat, and have considerable experience in combat and assassination. Agent 47, however, takes stealth, being a known to procure and use a wide variety of disguises to blend in a crowd and sneak up on a target without them expecting a thing. 47 is also know to rig elaborate traps designed to make a death look like an accident. I gave 47 slightly greater physical strength as it is displayed in the game that he is able to fire a Taurus Raging Bull .480 with one hand, a feat that would result in a dislocated or broken wrist, or at best the gun flying out of their hand if attempted by an average person. Ein, meanwhile fires her less powerful .357 magnum two handed. Ein, however, takes agility, being able to move too quickly for most of her enemies to get a clear shot at her. She also takes unarmed combat, as she had more experience fighting unarmed.
