A Gilded Cage is the fifth mission in HITMAN™, and the third to take place in the present-day. It begins with Agent 47 being tasked with the assassination of Claus Hugo Strandberg and Reza Zaydan.
Objectives:
- Eliminate Claus Hugo Strandberg
- Eliminate Reza Zaydan
- Locate Exit
Description
Taking place after the events of World of Tomorrow, A Gilded Cage sees Agent 47 travel to Marrakesh, Morocco, where banker Claus Hugo Strandberg who was to be on trial for billion-dollar investment fraud and is facing charges of fraud against the Moroccan people is freed by mercenaries and evades prosecution by taking refuge at the local Swedish consulate. General Reza Zaydan, a high ranking army officer hoping to stage a coup to seize power Morocco, who controlled the mercenaries forcibly frees Strandberg and allows him to retreat to the Swedish Consulate to escape prosecution.
The escape has cause an outbreak of rioting, which Zaydan looks to take advantage of in order to destabilize the Moroccan government. Zaydan monitors the situation from an abandoned schoolhouse, while Strandberg remains held up in the Consulate. Zaydan, who secretly controls the mercenaries, plans to use Strandberg's escape to drive the Moroccan public to riot, creating an opportunity for a military coup d'état.
Hamilton-Lowe, a construction contractor with lucrative contracts with the Moroccan government, has hired the ICA to eliminate both Strandberg and Zaydan. 47 assassinates both men, preventing the coup.
Two days later, in New York City, two men discuss the deaths of the agent in Johannesburg and Cobb who also carried a key, as well as the failure of the coup and the destruction of the Ether virus. They realize that these events have all been orchestrated as an attack on Providence. They discover that a vault which held information on Providence's assets and operatives, requiring two keys to open, has been compromised and raided. One of the men warns the other, the "Director", to begin preparing defenses now that Providence has been exposed.
Mission Briefing

|
"Good afternoon 47. Your destination is Marrakesh, Morocco, where civil riots are looming. Your targets are private banker Claus Strandberg and Army General Reza Zaydan, two of the conspirators in a sinister plot to overthrow Morocco's fragile government. Strandberg, a former bank CEO who stole billions of dollars' worth of savings from the Moroccan people, was facing trial for investment fraud. But early this morning, a band of heavily armed mercenaries freed Strandberg from his prison transport, resulting in the death of several police officers. Strandberg now takes refuge at his native Swedish Consulate, in front of which crowds of angry protesters have gathered, demanding his handover to Moroccan authorities. We believe that General Zaydan orchestrated Strandberg's escape to infuriate the public and spark nationwide riots allowing Zaydan to impose martial law. Operating out of a field HQ at a nearby abandoned school, he will no doubt use the riots to depict the Rabat government as weak and inept and persuade the General Staff to support a fully fledged military coup in the name of "National Security". Our client, building contractor Hamilton-Lowe, who stand to lose a fortune in government contracts, has hired us to prevent the Coup d'etat. To do so, you need to paralyze Zaydan's rebel forces and prevent the riots from escalating any further, hence the double contract. This is quite the political powder keg, 47, so be careful. The fate of a nation is at stake. I will leave you to prepare." |
Opportunities
Bad Blood
| The following information may contain spoilers. |
|---|
|
According to the soldiers, the condemned prisoner in the cell was a close friend of Zaydan. However when his brother, a Marrakesh officer, was killed during Strandberg's breakout, the prisoner decided to betray Zaydan and go public. Alas, he was caught before he could thwart the coup d'etat. The prisoner was Zaydan's friend and confidant. He might make a private visit. |
Cherry Blossom
| The following information may contain spoilers. |
|---|
|
In case of an emergency, Strandberg and Zaydan will meet face to face each other at the center of the underground tunnel. The conspirators are summoned over the phone, using a set of keywords. One of which is locked away in consul Olander's safe. A way to summon General Zaydan to the underground tunnel. Interesting. |
Down The Rabbit Hole
| The following information may contain spoilers. |
|---|
|
According to the evacuation plan, a secret tunnel runs between the consulate and a shoe shop downtown. This is how Strandberg's plan to escape the building, unnoticed. When the security alarm sounds, Strandberg will head to the underground garage where a team of Zaydan's soldiers awaits to escort him safely to the school. I suggest you locate that shop, 47. This could be a way inside the consulate, not to mention a chance to lure Strandberg into the open. Strandberg plans to escape through a secret tunnel. A way out is also a way in. |
Golden Touch
| The following information may contain spoilers. |
|---|
|
According to the appointment schedule, Claus Strandberg has booked a massage to relieve his back pain. No doubt all that time in prison has caused muscle stiffness. The masseur who also works at a local clinic, has apparently already checked into the building. Strandberg has ordered a massage. Sounds like he could use a specialist. |

Open Sesame
| The following information may contain spoilers. |
|---|
|
The old headmaster of the school Zaydan is using as his field HQ, lives right above the carpet shop. According to his sons, he kept the school's master key out of nostalgia. Supposedly, this opens any lock in the building. The school's old headmaster key still exists. Should be useful. |
Prime Time
| The following information may contain spoilers. |
|---|
|
Claus Strandberg has agreed to an exclusive interview with celebrity GNN reporter Pam Kingsley, no doubt to enrage to public even further. This could be a way inside the locked-down consulate. And the replacement cameraman, a local freelancer, is yet to arrive. The TV crew is here to interview Strandberg. Too bad their cameraman is missing. |
Why We Fight
| The following information may contain spoilers. |
|---|
|
The printing crew spreads fake propaganda in the name of Crystal Dawn, the pan-African liberation movement. This encourages Moroccan citizens to rise up and take justice into their own hands. Which of course, is exactly what Zaydan is counting on. Very clever. Now, according to the printing schedule, the crew is out hanging posters. And they are likely to wear masks. The printing crew is in the streets, hanging posters. Could be a way into the school. |

Trivia
- The mission name "A Gilded Cage" comes from the idea of being trapped in a luxurious environment. In this case, it refers to the Swedish Consulate, the luxurious building Claus Hugo Strandberg is taking refuge in.
- This mission is referenced in the "World of Assassination" trailer for HITMAN™, as the narrator mentions that "....In Morocco, a banker meets his end. A general loses his line of credit. A riot burns out in the street. Two men die, and a military coup is averted."
