I would say a target would be aware if they resisted a mind effecting spell, especially if they are aware magic is being cast at them at all.
The man is wearing solid black Full Body Armor, with no markings or logos or anything to suggest any corporate affiliation. I assume at some point you take off his helmet, which would reveal a man of amerindian descent who appears to be in his late 20s, with black hair in a military style buzz cut and a clean shaven face. Doesn't look like he's had any kind of work done, and he's got a scar on his right eyebrow where the hair doesn't grow anymore. He looks like a typical military or security man, clean cut and no nonsense.
Taking off his gloves in search of a wedding band, or marks to suggest he wears one, you find nothing of the sort. You note that his fingernails are trimmed and his palms are well calloused. He has a burn mark on his right hand that looks like an old wound of some kind. You can tell he's not the type of person who's been pampered his whole life, and doesn't seem like the corp born type.
As you go through his comm, looking for personal information, or anything of note, you become increasingly convinced that his SIN is fake, as the sparse data and total lack of personal info becomes more and more suspicious.
