He cannot remember his past and the only clue to his identity is a numerical tattoo on his chest, 'XIII', the Roman numeral for 13. Meanwhile, in the White House, a joint intelligence task force led by Colonel Amos ( Greg Bryk) is frantically conducting the search for the President's killer. With the presidential elections just weeks away, a confirmed suspect could swing the vote for the incumbent administration. Regaining his health, XIII searches for more information about the imprint on his body using the couple's home computer. This leads to his location being picked up by the NSA and in no time at all a squad of elite special forces swarm the couple's house in Cape Fear, killing them both. While on the run in New York, he befriends Sam ( Caterina Murino), a photo shop owner who helps identify for him a woman in a photo he carries.

Here he attempts to access a memory card found on his person in the hopes of discovering his identity and unknowingly initiates its tracking program. XIII later awakens to find himself restrained inside a truck where La Mangouste demands to know who he has spoken to.Īs a result, rogue Secret Service agents track him down at the woman's abandoned apartment, but he fights them off and escapes back to his place where La Mangouste captures him. He also reveals to XIII that he is also a part of the conspiracy having been branded 'XII'.

Escaping out of his hands XIII returns to Sam where she informs him that the design on his chest refers back to the ancient Roman Empire wherein secret societies would brand members loyal to their cause.
