Paul Denton
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Paul Denton is a fictional character in the PC and video game, Deus Ex and its sequel, Deus Ex: Invisible War. Deus Ex and Invisible War were produced by Ion Storm Inc. and published by Eidos Interactive in 2000 and 2003 respectively.
Paul Denton was voiced by Jay Anthony Franke in both games.
[edit] Overview
Paul Denton is the older brother of JC Denton and a UNATCO employee in the beginning of Deus Ex. He was the first agent to successfully have nano-augmentations implanted into his body; thus he is referred to as "the primary unit" by Bob Page and Walton Simons.
As Deus Ex begins, Paul has just returned from Hong Kong. Since both brothers are clones, Paul Denton looks almost exactly like JC minus the sunglasses and with a beard, but is of a wholly different stock of character. Where JC is stolid and perfunctory, Paul is passionate and dedicated. Where JC is cold, Paul is empathetic and favors knocking out and incapacitating enemies rather than killing them. It is discovered later in the game that Paul has switched allegiances and is now working for the NSF. It is possible for him to die, depending on the player's actions. Paul's foes include Gunther Hermann, a loyal UNATCO agent who requests his assassination.
In the sequel, Deus Ex: Invisible War, he along with Tracer Tong co-founds ApostleCorp. This entity's main purpose is to develop improved nanotechnology to deal with the imperfect merger of JC and the Helios AI. It also holds interest in developing a universal nanite strain acceptable to all humans. Paul, however, is knocked into a coma after subjecting himself to experiments involving nanites. In the game, the player may choose to save or abandon Paul, and can also later join forces with him.
