Yeah I’m definitely along these lines compared to explicitly saying 6 isn’t a clone. When 6 and 47 took down the Berlin wall, both wore the signature suit, something only the 48s also did.
Ok I’m sorry ya’ll if my wording made it seem like they did it by hand, but they basically forced someone to say on TV that the wall needed to be torn down.
The reason was they needed to reach a target on the other side of the wall. The subjects all had self-destruct chips in them (the same one Arthur Edwards had I’m guessing) so they were looking for someone to defuse them.
Haha. My favourite parts are where they shoot Bin Laden and dump his body at sea and where they take out all the cameras in the prison before wiring Jeffrey Epstein in his cell.
Something I came across while playing the old maps again: In Sgail, Edwards tells you, dead Janus, that he “will finish what you started”. Until the end of the mission he doesnt know that his mentors betrail wasnt true. Maybe he also wanted to take down Providence? Or does he mean you, does he recognize 47? Because if you approach him directly, with the killswitch, he imediately figures out who you are, and Lucas Grey. So… Im really, really not sure what to think of this right now. Maybe he had a hidden plan we never saw/got explained in the game?
Janus was the first Constant but he was also growing disillusioned with Providence if his letters about the Washingtons are anything to go by. Maybe the two of them discussed what would happen if the Partners themselves were no longer worthy of their power. He pulled an awful lot of strings awfully fast after he was captured. I wouldn’t be surprised if the constant belittling and ingratitude were starting to wear on both their nerves and they decided to remind the Partners who they’d given so much power to.
There is still the possibility that The Constant planned everything including his own capture and escape beforehand which makes him a much better villian than anticipated. The Man Behind The Curtain cutscene after Dubai strongly suggests it i.e. Diana saying “You planned this, all of it” even though he denies it by saying “Don’t be silly. I just played the hand I was dealt” :-
I think that only proves Diana thinks so. Personally Arthur proves he is a better villain because he managed to use his capture. A long complicated plan can fail at many steps. And if you have no plan B then you are not good at it really.
If the Constant is injected with the amnesia juice and 47 calls it a day, wouldn’t it be possible to get his memories back like they did on 47 after Mumbai? Was that ever rules out?
The cutscene after the injection implies Constant does not die by air-embolism but actually gets his memory erased
The antidote was given to 47 by Olivia and Grey in the cutscene “A Long Shot” which was acquired in Johannesburg during a raid, but I don’t remember it was said that is the only sample
