Paul Denton is a fictional character in the computer game Deus Ex. Paul is a UNATCO employee.

Paul Denton was voiced by Jay Anthony Franke in both Deus Ex and Deus Ex: Invisible War.

Overview


Paul Denton is the older brother of JC Denton. He was the first agent (thus he is referred to as the "Primary Unit" by Bob Page and Walton Simons) to successfully have nano-augmentations implanted into his body. He was a UNATCO agent, and as Deus Ex begins, he is returning from Hong Kong. Since both brothers are clones, Paul Denton looks very much like JC minus the sun-glasses, yet he 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 on in the game that Paul had swithced allegiances working for the NSF instead of UNATCO. It is possible for him to die, depending on your actions in the game. On a side note Gunther Herman requested the assasination of Paul Denton

In the sequel, Deus Ex: Invisible War, he along with Tracer Tong co-founded ApostleCorp.Its purpose was to develop improved nanotech technology so that JC could work better with the Helios AI (After their imperfect merger as hinted in the sequel). It also had to develop a universal nanite strain acceptable to all humans. Paul, however was knocked into a coma after he subjected himself to experiments regarding nanites, and it is upto the player whether he/she will save Paul, and still later (if Paul survives)-whether or not he/she shall join him.
