But to ascribe such unassuming purpose to the duck is to ignore its revelatory power.
We must go deeper.
Perhaps Ians most recognisable trait, and his most unintentionally revealing, is his deeply considered sense of style.
This is a falsehood.
We must only observe his perfectly tailored suits to know this.
These are the suits of a man who cherishes compliments.
This reveals two things to us.
No one suspects the ducky, and even if they do, theyre unlikely to say anything.
Have you seen the sort of high society soiree Hitman attends?
Most would simply rather perish in the flames.
As Del The Funkee Homosapien taught us, one must wash ones ass, or else be funky.
And one cannot afford to be funky in this line of work.
And so, he must bathe.
He is a man of luxury.
The shower is perfunctory.
The preferred cleansing method of those in a hurry.
They will smell his impatience.
It is not enough to clean.
The duck, then, adopts the form of a calling card.
And that is the most terrifying man of all.
