Sheikh Mohammad Bin Faisal Al-Khalifa, commonly shortened to Sheikh Mohammad, was the CEO of APRIX International, a corporation located worldwide of the pharmaceutical industry. He had a personal scientist, Tariq Abdul Lateef.

Appearance[]

Sheikh Mohammad was a rather large man, usually seen with his signature robes and his sunglasses, not even removing the latter when inside the casino. He had a grey/black beard along with a mustache and usually had bodyguards swarming any area he was in. He was 5'10 feet tall.

Career[]

Sheikh Mohammad was the CEO of APRIX International, a global pharmaceutical corporation. The Sheikh set up a meeting with Afrikaner Hendrik Schmutz, where Schmutz would trade DNA samples to the Sheikh in return for a suitcase of blood diamonds. It has been suspected that the Sheikh may have been working with clients interested in biological warfare, and perhaps cloning as well. Accompanied by his scientist, Tariq Abdul Lateef, he, Lateef, and Schmutz were assassinated by Agent 47 at the Shamal Hotel and Casino, where the trade was due to take place.

Trivia[]

  • The Sheikh is always accompanied by at least four armed guards.
  • He has the second longest name in the entire series, with 26 letters and is beaten only by Ali bin Ahmed bin Saleh Al-Fulani from the novel Hitman: Enemy Within (with 27 letters); who also happens to be of Arabic origin.
  • He will still believe 47 to be Hendrik Schmutz even if 47 approaches him in his original suit; therefore, disguising as Schmutz is unnecessary.
  • When he meets 47 who is acting as Schmutz, he will keep mentioning how large the casino is. This may probably a prompt for a reply from Schmutz (to confirm his identity), but 47 can walk away safe and sound with the diamonds anyway.
  • It is somewhat ironic that Mohammad Bin Faisal Al-Khalifa was in a bar within a Casino, even offering Schmutz a drink, given that alcohol and gambling are forbidden in Islam, Saudi Arabia's state religion.
  • As Sheikh Mohammad and his guards are in the casino, just before they enter the bar, a man mistakes the Sheikh for a casino employee and asks for some scotch.
  • Instead of speaking Saudi Arabic the sheikh instead speaks modern standard Arabic.
