It is obvious that Rapp is the type of agent that has huge muscles and is superb at fighting, but how good of an assassin is he? Is he sneaky? Will he be seen when Hagenmiller goes down? Although Rapp’s mission is completed successfully, it would be nice if you could just ask him all the details. How did Rapp not know that his acquaintances were going to try to kill him?
