Mark Parchezzi III is an Albino clone superseding Mark Purayah II. He is the secondary antagonist of Hitman: Blood Money. He appears as a target in the mission Amendment XXV.
Background
Early life
Mark Parchezzi III is part of The Franchise like Mark Purayah II and is thought to be the leader. He is 47's nearest rival. Parchezzi is the best clone that the Franchise could produce, possessing super enhanced abilities similar or maybe superior to that of 47's but he is also a class 2 clone like Mark Purayah II and therefore dies after only 18 months of reaching maturity, it is revealed that Parchezzi is haunted by this fact and seeks to find a better cloning program in order to permanently supresss the aging process. His main goal was to wipe out the International Contract Agency and kill Agent 47 & acquire a sample of his blood, which holds the key to supressingg his rapid aging.
He presumably killed an ambassador, shown in a newspaper. The killer was simply described as "albino", so it could have been Mark I or Mark II.
Hitman: Blood Money
As explained by Agent Smith during the mission briefing of Amendment XXV, Parchezzi's last assassination target, which he received from the director of The Franchise Alexander Leland Cayne, was Tom Stewart, the President of the United States. Cayne's plan was to place the acting Vice President and loyal Franchise operative Daniel Morris, in the presidency in order to advance their agenda. Agent Smith, knowing this, hired 47 to eliminate Parchezzi and Morris.
This assassination attempt was thwarted by 47 when he killed Morris, and then went after Parchezzi himself. The two first confronted each other in the Oval Office, at which time Parchezzi tried to play on 47's humanity by pointing out the similarities between them. 47 was unmoved by this, however, and Parchezzi fled to the roof of the White House, where he was gunned down by his rival. Afterwards, Parchezzi was blamed for Morris' assassination.
Appearance
Physical Appearance
Parchezzi's physical appearance is that of a caucasian albino male. Because of his albinism he has no pigment in his hair or skin. Facially, Parchezzi does not resemble 47. Parchezzi also sports his hair in a seemingly "marine" style of cut. In Hitman: Absolution, his 'ICA File' states his height as 6 ft 1 1⁄2 in (1.87 m).[1]
Abilities
Mark Parchezzi III is the best clone that the Franchise could produce, possessing heightened strength, reflexes, agility, senses, speed, stamina & endurance, effecient metabolism & limited healing powers similar or maybe superior to that of 47's own super enhanced abilities. Despite his extraordinary physical powers, he does have one powerful limitation, his own mortality, which will kill him by aging him to dust within a span of 18 to 20 months. Although if he gains Mr. 47's DNA spliced into his DNA he claims it will stop him from aging & possibly enhance his augmented abilities. He is encoded with nearly every skill of Mr. 47 & therefore is his rival. His naturally durability has been augmented to extraordinary levels as he is possibly immune to small fire arms & pain. He also takes on much damage from heavy weaponry before succumbing to his injuries. His stealth skills maybe superior to that of Mr. 47's as despite him being albino, he can easily blend in his mission surroundings without attracting even a fair amount of attention or suspicion. He is also hypersensitive, hyperactive, adaptive & highly determined & focused, similar to his predecessor Mark Purayah II. He also has a vast amount of resurcess at his disposal, primarily due to the highly influentall connections, inexhaustable wealth & arsenal of advanced technology & other essential resources provided by the Franchise.
Attire
Parchezzi's style of dress appears to be a mockery of Agent 47, being a color reverse of 47's style. Parchezzi's clothing and accessories include:
- White, double-breasted blazer
- Black silk shirt
- Black silk necktie
- White dress slacks
- White leather shoes with black soles
- Round, wire-frame, red-tinted sunglasses
- A gold collar clip
- Black boxer briefs
Additionally, his weapon of choice, the Custom 1911 has a reverse tone compared to Agent 47's Silverballers. While Agent 47 prefers to use his Silverballers, dual and suppressed; Parchezzi uses his 1911 single, unsuppressed and loaded with magnum ammunition.

Trivia
- He, like Agent 47, is a master of disguise, despite being an albino.
- A skilled marksman, Parchezzi's weapon of choice is a Colt 1911A1 custom pistol, and he can use it as a "sniper" weapon. He is the only enemy in the game besides Alexander Leland Cayne who uses it.
- Mark III is believed to be the second best assassin in the world, second only to 47.
- Although it is a name, Mark is also a term when describing a series of models such as the term 'version'. Therefore, being the third model he is deemed 'Mark III'.
- The body of the janitor that Parchezzi killed to obtain a disguise can be found in the bathroom near the Oval Office. If the body is found by the NPCs the rating will not be lowered, the guards however, may be alerted.
- The name "Parchezzi" is also a slang word meaning "ripped off" or "copied", which is a reference to his being a clone.
- He was mentioned during the Flatline mission, as a nurse talks with Greg Truman about a "strange albino doctor" whom he has never seen before. While his presence is mentioned by the nurse, he does not appear during the mission.
- Parchezzi is the most durable enemy in Blood Money, able to withstand 10-12 bullets to the torso from the silverballers before dying. Almost all other characters in the game die after only 1 or 2 torso shots, with the only exceptions being Anthony Martinez, Maynard John, and to a lesser extent Alexander Leland Cayne. However, headshots kill Parchezzi instantly.
- In one of the concept renders for Hitman: Blood Money when 47 and Mark are aiming pistols at each other, instead of Mark having a Custom 1911, he is shown with a Desert Eagle.
- In newspaper, he is known as 'unknown person', thus his identity is still yet to be revealed to the public.
