The Killer Suits are Nicole Horne's personal hitmen and bodyguards.

Description

The Killer Suits are part of the security forces serving Aesir Corporation and take part in many missions ranging from VIP protection to assassinations.

They are always wearing dark business suits with ties and white shirts.  Most of them wear sunglasses and have earpieces with mouth microphones.  Some wear trenchcoats while discarding the earpiece and microphone.

They are probably the hardest type of enemy to beat as they are heavily armed, with Ingrams or Colt Commandos. Some even wield Jackhammers or M79s.

They share similar weapons to the Mercenaries, but what makes the Killer Suits harder is the fact that they have more precise aim and they are known to dive through the air, similar to Max. However, they don't shoot as they dive.

History

They were hired by Nicole Horne to protect Aesir Corporation and to kill its enemies. According to one of them, the job pays big time and they are very happy doing what they do.

They are first seen in Max Payne when they arrive at Punchinello manor to kill Angelo Punchinello and Max Payne. As Max confronts Punchinello, three suited killers burst into the room, killing the Don, but are unable to kill Max. As he leaves the office, Payne finds himself surrounded by more of the hired killers and a woman named Nicole Horne. Max surrenders and Horne injects him with an overdose of Valkyr, leaving him to die and Horne to leave with the Killer Suits to Cold Steel.

Many Killer Suits and Aesir Security guards are killed by Max as he makes his way to the roof, where the last of them arrive, one of them carrying a M79, in one last attempt to kill Max but they lose and are wiped out.

Trivia

  • The Killer Suits, particularly the ones in dark business suits and sunglasses, could be a reference to the Agents from the 1999 science-fiction-action film, The Matrix
  • Some Killer Suits are heard saying that they only kill as a regular 9 to 5 job and therefore show no loyalty to Aesir and kill only for money.
  • It is unlikely that "Killer Suits" are the official name for them. It is only what Max refers to them as.
