## Trivia

* If the player assumes the identity and disguise of Martinez Eve, the assassin in the Heaven Party, and Maynard John, the assassin in the Hell Party, will automatically recognize 47 despite the fact that the costume includes a full-face devil mask.
* If 47 obtains the disguise of Martinez and goes with the rifle case to Vaana Ketlyn, she will lead 47 to a private room in which she asks 47 to remove his mask. If 47 takes too long to kill Vaana, she becomes furious and swings at 47 with her Cane Sword, resulting in 47's death and thus the failure of the mission.
* In the PS2 version of *Hitman: Blood Money*, Anthony is simply known as "CIA Agent" in the loading screen.
* The mask Martinez wears is also depicted in the mission of Death of a Showman, on top of the proscenium arch in the theater where the lawyer is being tortured and as the head of a large crouching statue holding a spiked mace in Scoop's private area where the exit to the level is.
* Martinez seems to be wearing a bulletproof vest, being able to withstand many pistol shots on the torso before dying.
* The mask Martinez wears can also be seen in *Hitman: Absolution* in the missions The King of Chinatown and One of a Kind.
* Martinez, Ketlyn, Eve and John were assassinated by 47 on August 15, 2005 in the same location: The Shark Club building.
* In the *Hitman: Absolution* trailer "Agent 47 ICA File", what is believed to be Martinez's body can be seen on in a bathroom stall floor. The man dons his suit and is in one of Martinez's few visiting spots, but he is missing the devil mask.
* Martinez is one of a very small number of targets in *Blood Money* with enhanced durability, requiring several shots to the torso from most pistols and SMGs to kill, instead of just 1 or 2 bullets like most other characters in the game. Mark Parchezzi III and Maynard John are the other two but will die in one headshot or less shots from more powerful guns. However, they still react the same towards melee weapons such as the Stilleto.
* Maynard John will recognize 47 through the disguise once his objective has been added despite having no physically defining features from the front. If Martinez was killed quietly, it would make even less sense since the murder would not yet be known to anyone else except 47.
* Despite being a CIA agent, Martinez is shown wearing a police uniform in a newspaper article at the end of the mission.
* In the *Hitman: Absolution* level *One of a Kind*, Martinez's name is changed to "John Hardwick" in a newspaper article.
* In Hitman 3, you are able to obtain the suit Martinez wears along with his mask by buying the deluxe edition of the game.
