Joseph Clarence

Joseph "Swing King" Clarence was the owner of Southland Amusement Park. After its destruction, he allowed his former friend Scoop to use it as a cover for drug smuggling. He is assassinated by Agent 47 in his office.

Clarence was a successful, locally famous amusement park entrepreneur known as "Swing King" in Baltimore for most of the 80s and 90s, until a Ferris wheel in his park collapsed due to a construction failure and killed 36 people.

Clarence went to court, presumably for negligience, but was cleared of all charges. However, the accident cost him his customers, his entire fortune and his trophy wife as a result (she is pictured in the opening cinematic as a very attractive blonde, and Clarence calls her "Rachel" during the phone call).

In order to stave off bankruptcy, he rents the park out to Scoop, the leader of a crack cocaine ring. Being a heartless gangster, Scoop betrays Clarence refused to either leave or pay Clarence.

47 was hired to kill Clarence by the father of one of the accident victims, who requests that he be shown a photo of the boy before he dies. Upon 47 entering his office, Clarence demanded to know who he is but 47 tells him that he was hired to show him the victim's photograph before executing him. In the act of killing Clarence, 47 also liquidates Scoop, many of his men, and a chemist.
