Valentina Yates (neé Morales) is a major character in The Farewell mission in HITMAN™ III.
Background[]
Valentina is the wife of Don Archibald Yates and the co-owner of her family vineyard Viñedo Yates. Valentina worked as a career diplomat and eventually became the Argentinian ambassador to Norway, followed by Israel and China. Dialogue between partygoers suggests that she acted as the brains behind many of his court strategies.
In 2015, a data leak by GNN exposed Valentina's involvement in allowing the Semaphore Phone Company to sell their user data to the Chinese government. With her reputation and career destroyed, she subsequently returned to her family's villa in Argentina.
HITMAN™ III[]
Valentina is found alongside Don at their villa during the mission, preparing for the asado. When looking for ideas for how to deal with Diana Burnwood, Valentina suggests that Don takes advantage of Burnwood's involvement with Lucas Grey to convince the Providence Heralds that Burnwood can't be trusted, which Don agrees to use. She will accompany Don to the asado pit once it is ready and talk to their guests.
A safe in the villa's cellar can be found, containing a file on the Semaphore Phone Company. The file reveals that Don exposed Valentina's deal to maintain Morgan, Yates & Kohn's winning streak. If the file is given to Valentina, she will feel betrayed and extremely upset and summon Don to the balcony of the villa.
Don defends himself by saying she would have understood at the time, but that staying in Argentina has made her "grow soft". Angered, Valentina will shove Don off the balcony, killing him. Realizing what she's done, she will then call Alexander Fanin, asking for $10 million in cash from Milton-Fitzpatrick's Buenos Aires branch.
She will then head to the entrance of the vineyard and sit down on a bench, sulking.
Appearance[]
Valentina is a woman with brown hair in a bob cut and brown eyes. She wears a yellow dress with a white flower pin on her left lapel, white opera gloves, a golden bangle on her right arm, and high-heels.
Trivia[]
- According to a conversation between two vineyard workers near the barrel room, Valentina is a vegan. This is backed up by the fact she will not be served a cut of meat from the asado pit.
- Valentina's accidental murder of Don is similar to how Jordan Cross can kill Ken Morgan in Club 27 in HITMAN™.
