			The Hitman franchise, a Cranberry source?
			The inspiration for Cranberry might also be taken from the computer game franchise "Hitman". Cranberry is described by Heretofore as " The man apparently had no body hair, too, and the gleam from his head could blind you in sunlight." (page 78). Hitman 47 is also bald with no body hair (([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Hitman_4_artwork.jpg Hitman artwork]).). Indeed Moist refers to Cranberry as, unusually, a hitman rather than an assassin (page 128).

"Professor" Cranberry is the Assassin hired by [[Cosmo Lavish]], who mops up all the possible threads that could lead to Cosmo's involvement in certain things, such as [[Stygium|rings made of Stygium]] or swordsticks.

Despite the honorific, Cranberry is not a Professor of the [[Assassins' Guild]], though he had been a scholarship boy there once upon a time. He had been awarded the title, by the simple fact that when not out on business he spends his time reading.

Disturbingly, Cranberry is in no way an illiterate thug but a well-read, highly intelligent man who looks after business very well indeed - to the delight of Cosmo and the horror of [[Heretofore]], Lavish's servant. Heretofore has a few deaths on his hands, because his schemes seem always to end with Cranberry being sent in to inhume whomsoever helped him out.

He came to a violent end at the hands of a most unlikely person in [[Mavolio Bent]], who killed him in a most unusual way. For details, see {{MM}}.
