Overview


JC is a 23-year-old (in the first game) clone of his brother (thus he is referred to as the "Secondary Unit" by Bob Page and Walton Simons) Paul Denton and a prototype created by shadowy organization Majestic 12 to test their nano-augmentation program. As a result of testing, Paul was found to have the right combination of biological and genetic factors to make him a good candidate for the nano-augmentation. To create more compatible test subjects, Majestic 12 produced clones of Paul, but most failed to accept the augmentations. His parents, however, were infertile after Paul's birth. They approached MJ12 looking for a method to have a new baby. MJ12 offered one, in the form of the implantation of an embryo. This procedure produced a clone of Paul, which would later become JC Denton. Paul and JC are, thus, identical twins born eleven years apart.

Later, as Paul reached adolescence, he became more independent and MJ12 decided to have him and his parents killed, while JC was sent to a Swiss school where he could be more closely supervised. Paul escaped this attack, and JC grew up unaware of his early childhood with Majestic 12. After graduation, JC joined UNATCO, a United Nations anti-terrorism organization.

JC has solid blue eyes (which are always obscured by sunglasses and are a result of nano-augmentation), though his hair and skin colour can be chosen by the player at the start of the game; changes made to JC's appearance affect those of Paul as well. Overheard conversations reveal that at least one Majestic 12 soldier believes that JC looks German.

There is some evidence that JC was in fact growth-accelerated, and that he is in fact roughly 2 years old. See Deus Ex Mainpage.
