Dr. Wolfgang Ort-Meyer is the reclusive scientist who helped clone 47 in the Hitman series. A brilliant and dangerous individual, he is the ultimate villain of Hitman: Codename 47.
Expelled from the scientific community for his radical theories on genetic manipulation, Ort-Meyer has spent almost half a century combining and manipulating DNA in an effort to create an army of perfect super-soldiers. He was responsible for raising and indoctrinating 47 at his asylum, where 47 was kept as a virtual prisoner for most of his life. Ort-Meyer eventually engineered 47's "escape" from the asylum in order to test his performance in the real world.
The consummate megalomaniac, Ort-Meyer used his powerful hold over the Agency to manipulate 47 into killing the other 4 masterminds behind the Hitman Project, so that Ort-Meyer could have the fruits of his labor all to himself. Ort-Meyer then attempted to have 47 himself eliminated, having perfected "Mr. 48", an improved, mindlessly loyal series of clones. Ort-Meyer underestimated 47's abilities, and in the final showdown, 47 eliminated the Mr. 48s and Ort-Meyer himself.
