Alexander Leland Cayne

"You think he's more than a man? I tell you, he is less. A virus. A pestilence. Whose existence we only notice by the death it leaves behind. He kills for money. It's that simple... that *grotesque*. He's due for a taste of his own medicine. And I'm the man who's gonna shove it down his throat!"

Biography
The former FBI director and self-appointed Cloning Czar, Cayne organizes a task force to catch Agent 47 throughout Contracts and Blood Money, and seemingly succeeds.

Cayne's stake in the hunt is easy to explain: he's well-known for his anti-science soothsaying, in particular his opposition to human cloning. According to Cayne, it's only a matter of time before a "rogue state" reverse-engineers 47 to create a clone army of its own.
