Deus Ex/Characters: Difference between revisions

The player character and main protagonist of the game, an augmented agent of UNATCO tasked with defeating the NSF, only to find out that the situation is considerably more complicated than it seems..

 

* [[Badass]]

** [[Badass Longcoat]]: Lampshaded when Anna tells you you will have to do more than just scare your enemies with a coat that makes you look bigger that you really are.

** [[One-Man Army]]: What you are considered after the halfway point of the game.

* [[Bio Augmentation]]

* [[The Comically Serious]]

{{quote|"''[[Memetic Mutation|What a shame.]]''"<br />

"''A bomb's a bad choice for close range combat.''"<br />

"''I was never properly trained in its operation.''" }}

* [[Genius Bruiser]]: While possibly and at least [[Tyke Bomb|built to be]] a killing machine, at more than a few points, such as with the bartender in China and with Morpheus, is quite able to sit down and talk philosophy.

* [[Nakama]]: This is why when JC finally decides to jump ship from his traitorous employers, so many of his senior co workers join him.

* [[Narm]]

{{quote|"''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v{{=}}NG1qKzIsisU A BOMB!]''"

"''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v{{=}}8btuyjPJ9n8 WHO ARE YOU?!]''" }}

* [[Phlebotinum Rebel]]: Oh yes indeed. From expendable prototype testbed for the real deal in the head conspirators to bane of the head conspirators' existence.

* [[Properly Paranoid]]: JC can be this.

* [[Significant Monogram]]

* [[Stealth Expert]]

* [[The Stoic]]

* [[Tyke Bomb]]

* [[Weak but Skilled]]: On the "Realistic" difficulty setting. It's still possible to go through the game as an [[One-Man Army]], but you have to be extra-careful.

* [[Conspiracy Theorist]]

* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]

* [[Mission Control]]: Only a few times though.

* [[Nanotechnology]]

* [[Phlebotinum Rebel]]: Rebelled before little bro JC did. However, not as successful at it as JC was.

* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Blue to his little bro JC's potential Red. He's the one who urges you basically to think before you shoot.

* [[Sealed Good in a Can]]: For Invisible War.

 

==== '''Bob Page''' ====

The richest man in the world, head of Page Industries and member of the Illuminati.

 

* [[Big Bad]]

* [[Bio Augmentation]]

* [[Complete Monster]]:

{{quote|"Why contain it [Gray Death and the subsequent rioting]? Let it spill over into the schools and churches, let the bodies pile up in the streets. In the end, they'll beg us to save them."}}

* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]

* [[Evil Redhead]]

* [[It's All About Me]]

* [[Screw the Rules, I Have Money]]

** While it's not nearly as loud, he does this if JC is doing the steps to reach the Helios Ending as well. {{spoiler|His final line in this case is an almost child-like "Helios? Icarus? Don't leave me..."}}

* [[Voice with an Internet Connection]]

 

==== '''Walton Simons''' ====

* [[Badass Longcoat]]

* [[Bio Augmentation]]

* [[Creator Cameo]]: He is voiced by one of the producers of the game.

* [[Creepy Monotone]]

* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]

{{quote|''"Denton? Walton Simons here. What an expensive mistake you turned out to be. I ordered the troops to kill you, because frankly I don't have the patience to wait for one of those damn killswitches to work."''}}

* [[Evil Counterpart]]: To JC, somewhat.

{{quote|'''Simons:''' ''"You take another step forward and here I am again, like your own reflection in a hall of mirrors."''

* [[Screw the Rules, I Have Money]]: Simons is a "philanthropist", who has made ''very'' large "donations" to assure UNATCO is properly equipped and supplied. While UNATCO technically falls under his command anyway, this makes them especially eager to follow orders.

* [[Skippable Boss]]: If you're quick enough at the Ocean Lab, the fight won't even start since Simons has to catch you and go into conversation before he'll turn hostile. This is pretty amusing since [[Fridge Logic|he has a freaking Plasma Rifle, and could easily just shoot you in the back while he's chasing you down.]]

* [[The Stoic]]

 

==== '''ECHELON IV''' ====

{{quote|Voice: Peter Marquardt}}

 

* [[Big Brother Is Watching]]

* [[Deus Est Machina]]

* [[Gone Horribly Right]]: Daedalus was created by MJ-12 to monitor the internet and crack down on terrorist groups. By the logic that they put in, it identified ''them'' as a terrorist organization.

 

==== '''Anna Navarre and Gunther Hermann''' ====

 

* [[Ax Crazy]]

* [[Cyborg]]

* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]]

* [[Invisibility]]: Anna's augment of choice. She also runs the tutorial on stealth.

* [[Morality Pet]]: Gunther truly does feel sorrow and rage {{spoiler|after Anna Navarre dies}}, and it is that which is driving him to want to {{spoiler|kill JC [[Deader Than Dead]].}} That said, this trope doesn't make him any less villainous, but at least his motives are a little more sympathetic.

* [[Only Sane Man]]: Anna is very skeptical about Gunther's conspiracy theory that the maintenance man who stocks the drink machines at UNATCO is purposely trying to screw him over. {{spoiler|Subverted in the sequel when you find out he was right.}}

* [[Skippable Boss]]

* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Gunther likes orange soda. He does ''not'' feel the same way about lemon-lime.

The quartermaster for UNATCO and a former general.

 

* [[Cool Old Guy]]

 

==== '''Jaime Reyes''' ====

UNATCO's doctor and the one in charge of nanotechnology-related matters.

 

* [[The Medic]]

 

==== '''Alex Jacobson''' ====

A helicopter pilot who works for UNATCO and later defects along with you.

 

* [[Properly Paranoid]]: To the point he drops hefty foreshadowing on later events very early in the game.

 

{{quote|Voice: John Gault}}

 

* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: {{spoiler|After confronting him, he'll act nonchalant and let you leave. When your back is turned, he pulls a pistol on you. He's typically gibbed a few seconds later. Unless you're playing at the "Realistic" difficulty setting, where there's a 50% chance or so that he will shoot you in the back of the head, fatally.}}

* {{spoiler|[[You Have Failed Me]]: Listed as dead even if you don't kill him, and he may have been killed for his failure}}.

* [[Alliterative Name]]

* [[Meaningful Name]]: His name is an allusion to the common Win32 networking tool "tracert" for looking up the hosts that a packet visits on its way to another host.

* [[Nice Guy]]

* [[The Triads and the Tongs]]: Not so much as his father was in ''Human Revolution'' from what we can see. He seems more interested in his lab than day-to-day gang activity.

** His underling Toby Atanwe fits even better.

* [[Voice with an Internet Connection]]

 

==== '''Gary Savage''' ====

* [[Bald of Awesome]]

* [[Cool Old Guy]]

 

==== '''Jojo Fine''' ====

Owner of the (Hil)Ton hotel, all he wants is to run a peaceful business and keep his daughter out of trouble.

 

* [[Overprotective Dad]]: Considering who his daughter is and the setting of the game, he has every right to be.

* [[Papa Wolf]]: He becomes this if {{spoiler|you arm him with a weapon.}}

 

==== '''Maggie Chow''' ====
