If JC is sided with, Helios succeeds in creating a singularity-level society. Alex awakens JC from stasis, and has the choice of aiding him in his plans to unite humanity in a post-human society or opposing him. The transhumanist agenda of ApostleCorp brings it into conflict with other factions in Invisible War. ApostleCorp trains JC's clone and second sibling, Alex Denton. His two accomplices, Paul and scientist Tracer Tong, both seek to bring about his plans while he is in stasis, by forming the organisation ApostleCorp. Denton brings about the collapse of globalized civilization but merges with Helios however, this merger becomes problematic, almost killing him and forcing him into cryogenic stasis. Invisible War takes place after events that mix elements from multiple of Deus Ex 's endings. In the second game, JC is no longer the player character. The ending of the game allows him to side with the Illuminati to bring about a benevolent conspiracy over the world, destroy the internet and bring about a decentralized dark age over the world, or merge with the artificial intelligence Helios in order to govern the world. However, he learns that he is a pawn of a global conspiracy led by the organisation Majestic-12, and so defects with Paul. In the original, Denton begins as a newly graduated nano-augmented agent of UNATCO (United Nations Anti-Terrorist Coalition), fighting the secessionist NSF in New York. Denton, by way of our actions, became a hero or a monster, and that transformation was largely reflected through the lens of his brother Paul." Appearances Deus Ex Paul has been noted by critics to be an anchor for JC, as a non-controllable character whose motivation and actions are not decided by the player. The two are shepherded by Majestic-12, with their parents murdered and JC put into a Majestic-12 run school. In exchange for money, Paul's mother carries a clone of him, and eventually gives birth to JC. The two came from a family in poverty, until Paul was noticed by members of Majestic-12. ĭenton is the clone of Paul Denton (also voiced by Franke), the first nano-augmented agent in the Deus Ex universe, though ostensibly not the first nano-augmented person. Franke was also a tester on Deus Ex, his lines not added until the end of production. This led to him being hired for the role of Denton. JC Denton's voice actor, Jay Anthony Franke, was a quality-assurance tester at Ion Storm Studios, and did work on a previous game of the studio, Daikatana. JC's personality and morality may be defined by the player, through actions and dialogue choices. In addition, JC's skill-set and augmentations may be customized, defining JC's characteristics. "JC Denton" is said to be a codename, and the player can create JC's true name and pick from a variety of preset appearances. JC's deadpan-voice and sarcasm was an influence for Adam Jensen, protagonist of the prequel series. Spector continued: "That's how far we were willing to go to ensure that the players inhabited the body of the character." Warren Spector reported taking this "maybe too far" and developers directed Denton's voice actor "no emotion in your voice, no inflection, nothing". The creators sought to maximize immersion in the game and player freedom. JC was designed as a blank slate, in accordance with the roleplaying elements of Deus Ex. Despite this, JC Denton remains a popular and iconic video game character. This characteristic led to criticism by reviewers, singling out his monotone and lack of prominent personality flaws. The character was intentionally designed as a blank slate, one which the player could roleplay and immerse themselves in. JC is initially dedicated to his duties but is influenced by his brother, fellow nano-augmented UNATCO agent Paul Denton. In his twenties, Denton begins the first Deus Ex as a new graduate of UNATCO, and a prized nano-augmented agent. Denton was created by Deus Ex director Warren Spector. He is voiced by Jay Anthony Franke in both games. JC Denton is the player character and protagonist of the first-person role-playing video game Deus Ex and a supporting character in its sequel, Deus Ex: Invisible War.
