Hitman 2 sort of plays with that. 47 found out his true nature at the end of the first game and renounced his profession, joined a small Catholic monastery in Italy. His priest gets kidnapped by the mafia and you basically have to come out of retirement to find out what happened, turns out some guy who's the brother of a boss from the first game wanted you to secure a nuclear bomb for him towards the end. He eventually deals with the villain and saves the priest, but comes to the conclusion that someone will harm the old father again to keep drawing him out, since he was basically created to be a perfect assassin and thus someone the world would not leave alone for his services. So he leaves to at least keep him out of it, but he's been troubled about his nature since the beginning.
In retrospect, the first three games, most of the people you are ordered to kill are pretty much irredeemable. Criminals, terrorists, psychopaths, "angel of death" medical personnel. One that sticks out in particular is a hedonistic meat distributor who doesn't care that his brother is A) mentally ill, B) a serial killer and C) got him framed for his most recent killing. He's just happy the trial against him fell apart because he can go back to his fetish parties where he can eat 10 roasted chickens an hour. People like that. It was really starting with Blood Money that the kills became more troublesome.
