Deus Ex: Human Revolution/Characters: Difference between revisions

[[File:Deus_Ex_HR_Adam_1095.jpg|frame]]

Voice: Elias Toufexis }}

* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]: The Mexicantown Incident.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]

"I like everyone, Doctor Reed."<br />

"Something something, death and taxes. Confucius." }}

* [[Not So Stoic]]: He shows much more emotion when talking than JC or Alex, in particular, during persuasion sequences.

** Or when {{spoiler|Faridah dies, ''especially'' if he sees her being executed}}.

* [[Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping]]: He normally has a "Hollywood Standard" accent, but he sometimes shows hints of a New York one, and occasionally hints of his VA's Canadian pronunciation creep in.

** [[Fridge Brilliance]] / [[Truth in Television]]: As well as Jensen, more than a few of the Detroit-based characters (Pritchard and Malik most notably) exhibit an occasional Canadian leaning in their accents, which isn't heard so noticeably in the other hub cities. Detroit ''is'' within rock-throwing distance of Windsor, ON, and lots of locals' accents feature greater or lesser degrees of West/Central Canadian blended in with the Inland North background.

[[File:Deus_Ex_HR_Megan_3359.jpg|frame]]

Adam's ex-girlfriend, and one of the senior scientists at Sarif Industries, who makes an important discovery regarding augmentation.

[[File:Sarif_1480.jpg|frame]]

He is the founder and CEO of Sarif Industries. He pushes augmentation so much that he gets upset if Adam does not buy a Praxis kit from a LIMB clinic as soon as possible.

[[File:DXHR-Pritchard-001_1121.jpg|frame]]

Head of Sarif Industries' IT department. His computer skills make him a highly valued employee, but his adversarial attitude towards his coworkers hasn't won him many friends among them.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]

"Well, if it isn't Mahatma Ghandi himself, come to save us all with his life-preserving presence!" }}

* [[Defrosting Ice Queen|Defrosting Ice King]]: {{spoiler|Especially noticeable after Adam goes to Omega Ranch in Singapore.}}

* [[Mission Control]]

* [[Tsundere]]: Type A, to Jensen.

'''Frank:''' [[Blatant Lies|Don't flatter yourself. I care about the security of this company. You getting yourself killed compromises that.]] So ''don't be stupid''. }}

* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: With Adam. He's a jerk, but he's your best ally throughout the game.

* [[Write Who You Know]]: The lead of his TV pitch is an obvious [[Author Avatar]]. {{spoiler|Part of his grudge against Jensen probably stems from the fact that the Picus executives he's been repeatedly submitting scripts to think that a character more like Jensen would be a more compelling protagonist.}}

** It's also an amusing parallel to a lot of Adam's actions, should the player decide to take a stealth, pacifist, and [[Guile Hero]] approach to the game.

=== Athene Margoulis ===

An old friend of David Sarif, as well as his Executive Assistant. She is fiercely loyal to him, having worked for Sarif Industries since its founding.

[[File:DXHR-Malik-001_3928.jpg|frame]]

The pilot of Sarif Industries VTOL aircraft. She flies Sarif, Adam, and other company personnel wherever they need to go, and provides Adam with overwatch on some of his missions. She lived in Heng Sha for a few years and has personal connections there.

[[File:DXHR-Declan-001_7704.jpg|frame]]

A older scientist who works for Megan. {{spoiler|Out of the surviving kidnapped scientists, he is the most loyal to Sarif Industries.}}

[[File:DXHR-Eric-001_2971.jpg|frame]]

Another member of Megan's science team. He has an idea about what might be wrong with Faherty's work and suggests that a new cytometer will solve that problem... which will come with a free [[Must Have Caffeine|cappuccino maker]]. {{spoiler|His loyalty is somewhere in between Nia and Declan; while he is far from happy to be at Omega Ranch, he lacks the backbone to truly rebel.}}

[[File:DXHR-Nia-001_4310.jpg|frame]]

She is first seen berating a worker for dropping boxes that are worth more than his salary. {{spoiler|She is the second-least-loyal scientist behind Megan, and adapted quite well to her new job at Omega Ranch.}}

[[File:DXHR-Vasili-001_250.jpg|frame]]

This Sarif Industries scientist is heavily involved with the Typhoon project. {{spoiler|Out of all the kidnapped scientists, he was the most loyal to Sarif and was killed for it. He was able to make some progress on an escape plan before that, though.}}

=== Tim Carella ===

A Sarif Industries lab tech who seeks out Adam's help with a personal problem: {{spoiler|He's being blackmailed by a former Sarif employee into stealing neuropozyne from the labs, and hopes Adam will be kind enough to bail him out.}}

=== Brian Tindall ===

A former Sarif Industries cyber-security tech who was fired after Pritchard caught him tampering with security footage {{spoiler|showing Tim Carella stealing neuropozyne from the labs}}, so that Tindall could give it away to {{spoiler|poor augmented people free of charge.}} He uses the footage he edited out of the recording to {{spoiler|blackmail Carella into continuing the thefts even when he wants out}}.

* {{spoiler|[[And I Must Scream]]: The three women who power it are constantly crying for help, unable to perceive much of anything}}

=== Narhari Kahn ===

Commander of Belltower operations in Heng Sha and Zhao Yun Ru's direct subordinate. Seems to have little to no regard for collateral damage resulting from the carrying out of his tasks.

=== Pieter Burke ===

Appearing in ''The Missing Link'' DLC as it's primary antagonist, Pieter Burke is the commander of Belltower's special ops group. He's currently positioned on Rifleman Bank Station, ostensibly an offshore oil rig owned by Belltower to incarcarate criminal dissidents. {{spoiler|In reality, the people incarcarated at the station are just swiped off the streets indiscriminately for use in the Hyron Project, which Burke is in direct command of.}}

=== Netanya Keitner ===

Also appearing in ''The Missing Link'', Keitner is Burke's second in command and the director of operations at Rifleman Bank Station. {{spoiler|She's really working with Interpol ([[Unwitting Pawn|or so she believes]]) to bring evidence of Belltower's corruption to light.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Enemy Mine]]}}: {{spoiler|With Adam}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Forgotten Fallen Friend|Forgotten Fallen]] [[Enemy Mine]]}}: This is averted, surprisingly. {{spoiler|Both Adam and Quinn mention her at the end of ''The Missing Link''}}.

{{spoiler|'''Quinn:''' We're all pawns in someone's grand design, Mr. Jensen. But that doesn't make Netanya's death any less tragic.}} }}

* [[Fashionable Asymmetry]]: [[Zig-Zagging Trope|ZigZagged,]] her right arm is augmented and black in contrast to her natural left arm but she wears a black sleeve on her left arm that matches the augmentations. The sleeve makes it more subtle asymmetry but changes it to one bare arm and one sleeved one.

He was Adam's former SWAT commander but is presently the desk jockey for a poor precinct of the Detroit Police Department.

=== Jenny Alexander ===

=== Jack O'Malley ===

* [[Affably Evil]]: He can be persuaded to pay Adam part of the hitman's fee upfront, and even after {{spoiler|he finds out that Adam has betrayed him}}, he's quite polite and understanding about it.

* [[Police Are Useless]]

=== Sir Hugh Darrow ===

A billionaire and Nobel Prize winner who knows David Sarif personally. He was important to the development of augmentations as well. He is currently working on a project named "Panchaea," a massive hole in the ocean that is supposed to change global warming, and has other geoengineering projects planned. Picus tries to give somewhat favorable coverage of this project ([[Nepotism|presumably due to Picus having been founded by Hugh's father]]). {{spoiler|Despite being considered the father of augmentation, he has come to believe that it will cause humanity's destruction, and is now working with the Illuminati to turn the world against it.}}

=== Mengyao ===

One of Darrow's representatives, involved in the Panchaea project.

=== Dr. Vera Marcovic ===

She works at the L.I.M.B. clinic in Detroit. Unlike David Sarif, she believes that Adam should have more choice regarding the progress of his augmentations.

=== Zhao Yun Ru ===

The CEO of Tai Yong Medical, a Chinese bio-tech company seeking to become the world leader in the augumentation market and a direct competitor to Sarif Industries.

=== William Taggart ===

The founder of Humanity Front and the leader of the anti-augmentation movement. {{spoiler|It turns out he's a front for the Illuminati, who want to put limits on augmentation technology until they're prepared enough to be able to control it. Along with Hugh Darrow and David Sarif, he (and by extention the Illuminati) are one of the 3 major leaders you can side with in the game's ending.}}

=== Isaias Sandoval ===

A former surgeon and currently Taggart's right-hand man. He is opposed to augmentation because of the effects he observed on his patients in the past.

=== Tong Si Hung ===

The owner of the popular Hengsha nightclub, The Hive, as well as the biggest crime lord in the city's underworld. {{spoiler|Is later revealed to be the father of Tracer Tong from the original game. }}

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Tong is one of the snarkiest bastards in the game.

'''Tong''': Ancient Chinese secret. }}

* [[King Incognito]]: Adam perceives him as this, but he insults Adam for not figuring it out during their first conversation. Adam can actually spot him as such if he has the social aug.

=== Bobby Bao ===

The main bartender of the Hive, who also helps to run the shadier side of Tong's business.

=== Arie Van Bruggen ===

The hacker who was puppeting the infiltrator during the second attack on Sarif Industries, he uses the screen-name "Windmill" and is also called the "Dutchman" even though his accent is more Caribbean<ref> Of course, there are the islands of Curacao, Bonaire, and Aruba, all part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. And that's not even counting the possibility that he could hail from Suriname</ref>.

* [[Straight Gay]]: "Sorry, man, you're not my type."

** [[Bi the Way]]: Possibly, if an e-mail sent to the landlord of Alice Garden Pods can be believed.

*** If you look at all the sticky notes plastered around the computer in his apartment, you'll find several with phone numbers and girls' names written on them.

An aged private investigator who used to be a detective. {{spoiler|He was hired by David Sarif to do a background check on Adam Jensen}}.

=== Cassandra Reed ===

Megan's mother, and dissatisfied with the investigation into her death.

=== Lee Hong ===

The ex-boyfriend of one of Malik's deceased friends. {{spoiler|He was the one who killed her, and Malik wants Adam's help proving it.}}

[[File:eliza_9589.png|frame]]

Voice: Kim Bubbs }}

* {{spoiler|[[AI Is a Crapshoot]]}}: {{spoiler|She starts to develop a sense of morality as a result of watching Adam. However, unlike, say, Daedalus, she's got no ability to make decisions for herself and can't properly "rebel" other than sharing a little information with Adam}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Creepy Monotone]]}}: {{spoiler|She's ''trying'' to help, but her commentary during the battle with Fedorova can have this effect}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Emotionless Girl]]}}: Played with. {{spoiler|She shows emotion in her newscasts, but it's "fabricated", as she is programmed to express whatever view (and accompanying emotion) that Picus instructs her to. She begins to subvert this the more she watches Adam, and becomes fond of him, expressing affection when he meets her and helping him as much as her programming allows}}.

* [[Every Girl Is Cuter With Hair Decs]]: A bit hard to spot, but she has black beads in her hair.

=== Lady Katrina Sutherland ===

A heavily-augmented freelance mercenary from the six-issue comic run.

* [[Emergency Transformation]]: She was augmented after being thrown from her horse and then trampled.

* [[Femme Fatale]]: She looks like she's going to be this, but it's averted.

* {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]}}

=== Lazarus ===

This abrasive, foul-mouthed commentator tirelessly talks on his radio show at all times. He comments on practically everything, but mainly focuses on conspiracy theories and the politics surrounding augmentation. {{spoiler|He starts out as fiercely anti-aug, but switches sides when he finds out the Illuminati are controlling the opposition movement.}}

=== Letitia ===

One of Adam's street informants back when he was a cop, this woman sifts through trash in order to find food. Her favorite drink is Maharaja Hot Devil beer. She is most-well-known for behaving like a very stereotypical black person.
