Read more about Mona Sax at: Wikipedia Official Site: Take 2 Interactive Mona Sax is a fictional character in the Max Payne neo-noir franchise. She is a contract killer in a dangerous relationship with the titular protagonist, the vigilante cop Max Payne, and represents the femme fatale archetype. Mona appears in the first two video games in the series, Max Payne and Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne. She is the second player character in Max Payne 2 after Max, and her tragic love story with Max is the center of the game's storyline. She appears as a major character in the 2008 film Max Payne and makes a cameo appearance in the game's multiplayer mode of Max Payne 3. The games' version of the character was perceived positively by the gaming community and mass media, but Mila Kunis' portrayal in the movie received negative reviews. Mona Sax is a mysterious professional assassin, living in a derelict theme park somewhere within New York City. She is introduced in the first Max Payne game as the "evil twin" of her younger sister Lisa, the abused wife of the mafia boss Angelo Punchinello. By the end of the first game, Mona disappears inside an Aesir Corporation headquarters elevator after being shot in the head by mercenaries for refusing an order to kill Max issued by Nicole Horne, the CEO of Aesir and a renegade member of the powerful secret society called the Inner Circle. In Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne, more focus is given to Max and Mona's relationship, and she becomes one of the game's two protagonists. Mona reappears as a suspect in the murder of the U.S. Senator Sebastian Gates. The case is assigned to Max Payne's new partner, detective Valerie Winterson, but despite their past, Max does not inform the authorities that he knows Mona nor does he inform them of her visit to his apartment. During the course of the game, it is revealed that Mona is indeed the killer of Senator Gates. To save her, Max is forced to shoot the corrupt Winterson before she can execute Mona. Mona and Max work together to prevent shadowy hitmen known as Cleaners from eliminating both of them. Eventually, it is revealed that Mona's employer was Alfred Woden, a U.S. senator and a member of the Inner Circle's faction warring with the faction of the Russian mob boss Vladimir Lem. In the end, she is shot in the back by Lem, whom Max kills. She dies in Max's arms as he kisses her, but lives on the game's hardest difficulty level, "Dead on Arrival".
