Hackworth

Hackworth.

Hackworth is a minor character and member of the Watch Lower Guards featured in Dishonored during the first mission also titled Dishonored. He can be found in the Prison Yard at Coldridge Prison.

Having been assigned to the renowned prison, Hackworth is tasked with various duties, including patrolling the Prison Yard. Remarks from some of the Watch Guards also assigned to Coldridge suggest that not all the men employed there are doing their jobs properly.

Hackworth, however, seems to be one of the more dutiful City Watch members, even going so far as to inspect the compound and be willing to file reports on any problems he encounters.

Trivia

• Hackworth is found in the prison yard, and as such will not be encountered until after Corvo Attano retrieves the clockwork bomb from the safe in the interrogation room.
  • When first spotted he is smoking a cigarette in the middle of the yard.
  • The Yard Key will be found on the Lower Gaurd that comes to check on him.
• Despite being called a "lazy slug" by a fellow Lower Guard member, Hackworth is more competent at his job than others. After discovering a boiler leak, he wishes to file a report about it, but the guard who scolded him tells him not to bother as "a report's trouble for both of us".
  • Watch Guards are overheard threatening to take away the rations of Sokolov's Elixir from those prison guards who don't seem to be performing their duties well - such does not seem to be the case with Hackworth.
• He is the first minor character to be addressed by name in the game.
