Reader's Guide
Elisabeth Hahn serves as a high-ranking operative within the Illuminati. Her true allegiance is to maintaining global order through manipulation and control, not genuine liberation. Her primary skills involve intelligence gathering, political maneuvering, and psychological manipulation. She uses Adam Jensen as a tool to eliminate rivals within the conspiracy, feeding him information that serves her own agenda while pretending to aid his investigation into the Aug Incident. Throughout the narrative, Hahn's arc reveals her duplicity. While she initially appears as a potential ally offering resources, players eventually discover she orchestrates events to ensure the Illuminati retains power regardless of public opinion. Her defining moments include secret meetings in Prague where she negotiates with Jensen and ultimately attempts to steer the outcome of the global crisis toward a controlled resolution.
