Plot
Edit
Set about five hours after the events of the film, Wesley Gibson continues his transformation into a full-fledged assassin and heir to a legacy of a secret fraternity of assassins. He continues his quest with a new mission to seek out the French chapter of The Fraternity, to hunt down The Immortal, and finally discover the truth about his family.
Wesley GibsonEdit
Act 1Edit
The story begins with Wesley having a recurring bad dream that ends the same way; with a mysterious killer that murders Wesley's mother. He wakes to find that his apartment has been breached by a squadron of disguised SWAT soldiers. They ransack Wesley's apartment and finally come upon a picture of his mother, Alyse. Breaking it, they find a decoded Kill Order in its frame. After hunting down these intruders, Wesley confronts Araña, an assassin sent by the Barcelona Fraternity. Pekwarsky, the Fraternity's master bullet-maker arrives, manages to drive Araña off, and notifies Wesley that he has become the primary target on the Fraternity's black list. He also tells him that it will dispatch its minions to the recently ravaged Chicago Fraternity in order to collect the Loom of Fate.
Act 3Edit
Wesley uses this tip make a return visit to the wreckage of the Chicago Fraternity Textile Mill, the place he destroyed in the movie. Inside, he confronts The Russian, who notices that Fox's body is gone, and kills him. On his arm, he notices a binary code and severs it for further inspection.
Act 5Edit
Pekwarsky tells him that The Russian was one of the Guardians sent to collect the Loom. Three of these are sent from various Fraternities and their codes reveal the place where they intend to move the Loom. He also informs Wesley that he is meeting a buyer by the name of Brummel who ordered a crate of bullets with Wesley's name on it. Wesley tags along with Pekwarsky secretly and kills Brummel, taking his piece of the code as well. However, Wesley notices that Pekwarsky is holding something back - Pekwarsky's really after the kill order that was taken at the beginning of the game.
Act 7Edit
Wesley then gains the Killer suit and the Nightshade pistol. Along the way, Wesley kills Araña and takes her code as well. He then descends into the crypt and finds his father's mummified body. He takes the Fire Eater guns placed in his hands and promises him that he'll take care of the Immortal.
Cross (flashback scenes)Edit
Throughout the game, there are several flashbacks to reveal Cross' story from the beginning as told by Pekwarsky.
Act 2Edit
He first has to guard Alyse, who has recently given birth to Wesley. However, he fails as the Immortal shoots her and he barely escapes with the baby intact.
Act 4Edit
Later, on a mission to kill a member of the Fraternity given to him by Sloan, Cross engages The Immortal on an airliner, only serving as a trap as The Immortal got the last parachute. Cross then works his way out of the burning airliner and escaped in a parked red Dodge Viper.
Act 6Edit
After he returns to the Fraternity, he confronts Sloan for giving him a false kill order and framing him as a rogue assassin. Before the two can quarrel, the Paris Fraternity invades the Chicago Fraternity looking for Cross. During the fight, he discovers a kill order for Sloan and realizes his treachery. However, Sloan turns Cross' comrades against him and Cross is forced to flee after the Immortal. In a duel with him, Cross manages to fire a bullet straight into the Immortal's gun which explodes, severely damaging the Frenchman's face.
Final ActEdit
Back in the present, Wesley heads to confront the Immortal. However, just before they have a final duel, the Immortal reveals a twist; it was Cross who killed Alyse, with the two lovers mutually agreeing that following the Code was the only way it could end. The Immortal was merely sent to kill Wesley, who was considered an abomination by the Code. After defeating the Frenchman, Wesley has a philosophical dialogue with the Immortal. The latter says that even though Wesley's parents were fanatics, they put their faith in the Loom, and that no great human endeavour was ever achieved without faith. Wesley has had enough, and fires the bullet with Wesley's name on it at the Immortal, ending his life.
