Good to be bad part 4

It’s good to be bad part 4

Bob Page, Deus ex and Deus ex-Human revolution.

Billionaire Bob page is first encountered at the end of the training level in Deus ex. The billionaire and bio tech firm owner congratulates you for completing the course but avoids JC’s questions as to who he is and who he works for.

Pages influence is felt at every level of government and he has even had his right hand man Walton Simons appointed as the head of FEMA.

Whether its bio terrorism, political manipulation or creating a synthetic plague to subjugate humanity while he makes a grab for power, there is no level Page will not sink to attain his goal of godhood- as we have seen in this series of villain posts, bad guys like Page create their own downfalls – in this case the agent JC Denton, secretly (even to the agent himself) JC and his brother Paul were created via cloning vats as a warm up for Page’s own cyber ascension, however the brothers have other ideas and JC beats page at his own game by attaining the global domination in his place.   

Page appears briefly in the intro to the Human Revolution, master minding the abduction of scientists from Serif corp and arranging to use them to create his own Bio chem company Page industries which features heavily in the original game.

For taking on the illuminate, UNATCO and Majestic 12, and almost coming out on top, he deserves a mention on my list.
