Lorne de Haviland (born 1933 - died December 24th, 2004) was a British businessman specialising in adult entertainment, a millionaire, publisher of the Popqurn magazine, and owner of many strip clubs across the United States. Secretly, the main source of income was through threatening well respected figures with footage from his secret cameras in all of his strip clubs' basements.
Biography[]
Early Life and Career[]
Lorne de Haviland was born in 1933 in the United Kingdom to a family of French descent. At some point in his life, he became rich through his involvement in the adult entertainment industry, establishing his own porn magazine named Popqurn, as well as owning many strip clubs across the United States. However, a large portion of his wealthy was gleamed through blackmail - each of his strip clubs had private rooms for VIP's in the basements, which were filled with secret hidden cameras recording everything all the time. The latest of De Haviland's victims, as well as the last, was Chad Bingham, Jr., a wealthy playboy and the youngest son of Senator Chad Bingham, Sr. of Colorado, who was recording accidently killing one of the strippers during a sex game.
Although de Haviland was a well-known public celebrity, he was a notorious paranoiac, as well as very camera shy, with the most recent photo of his being taken in 1994. de Haviland lived (and spend most of his time) in the famous Pink Mansion, a remote lodge in the Rocky Mountains accessible only by boat or helicopter.
Death[]
In 2004, de Haviland was able to get his hands on the footage of the aformentioned Chad Bingham, Jr. accidently killing a prostitute. Per usual, he annonymously sent the footage to Senator Bingham, Sr. Unfortunely for de Haviland, someone from Bingham's political office managed to figure out that he was a blackmailer, and had subsequently contacted the ICA to deal with this.
Agent 47 was dispatched by the ICA on December 24, 2004, during a Christmas Party taking place at the Pink Mansion. 47 secretly made his way into the party, and assassinated de Haviland and Chad Bingham, Jr. (who was at the party presumably to try to cozy up to de Haviland) and recovered the tape with the blackmail evidence.
