Thomas "Tommy" Clemenza (born 1936), or Tom the Tailor, is a legendary Italian-American tailor in Chicago, Illinois. He owns the Tommy Clemenza Sartoria, making high quality suits for various clients. Secretly, he is an ICA asset that provides suits for agents, free of cost.

Biography[]

Early life[]

Tommy Clemenza was born in Naples, Italy to a tailoring family; however, his parents were dissenters from Benito Mussolini. The family fled their home country to America to avoid persecution. They arrived in New York City before moving to Chicago, where Clemenza's grandfather owned a Sartoria. His father took over the business after his grandfather became too old to run the business, teaching Tommy how to make proper Clemenza suits.

Contacting the ICA[]

Clemenza took over the business once his father died, carrying on the tradition of making well-crafted suits. However, one day, his daughter was kidnapped for ransom by a group of mobsters. Clemenza's attempt to rescue her rendering him mostly blind. Left broken and without much hope, Clemenza contacted the ICA to put a hit out on the mobsters. Agent 47 himself accepted this task, rescuing Clemenza's daughter. Out of gratitude, Clemenza allowed the ICA to have tailor-made suits, free of charge. Clemenza also became a dear friend of 47, keeping in semi-regular contact as an ICA agent. Clemenza also possessed a collection of 47's previous disguises and newspapers of his victims, out of admiration.

Absolution[]

In 2013, 47 returned to the Sartoria to gain a new suit for his infiltration into Blackwater Park. Clemenza was happy to give him one of the shop's finest suits, and 47 left with intentions of revenge against Blake Dexter.
