Lucius DeBeers

Lucius DeBeersis a character and is a major antagonist of the critically acclaimed cyber-punk shooter, Deus Ex. He's the Prima Illuminatus (Head of the Council of Five of the Illuminati) and the leader and ruler of the Illuminati.

Early Life
Lucius was born in Southern England, United Kingdom in the heart 1927. He had eventually grown up to be a member and soon leader of the secret society known as the Illuminati. He lead the Illuminati for many years and in 1963 he ordered the assassination of American President John F. Kennedy and his brother Robert in 1968 (Most likely the two were resisting or endangering the Illuminati) respectfully. He considered that Morgan Everette was to be his protégé bad made sure that he was. A hundred years later in 2027, Lucius was both still alive and still running the Illuminati and the world from behind the scenes. He lived in a fifteenth century-styled house in Geneva, Switzerland and was forced to receive medicine from Dr. Roman, who heated but desperately needed his medicine in order to stay alive.

Human Revolution
During the events of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Lucius is mentioned throughout the game as he had e-mailed David Sarif of Sarif Industries of a needed request but Sarif told his executive assistant to block Lucius despite the amount of money that he would promise. During this time however, his protégé in Paris is starting to see his weaknesses and is desperate the remain on top. He's also talking to seven people via hologram on how the Illuminati's plans are going.

Deus Ex
Sometime before Deus Ex, Lucius had been cryogenically frozen by Everette in order to stay alive and was kept inside Everette's house. He gave him a advice now that he was becoming the new leader of the Illuminati but Lucius was always suspicious about Bob Page. He was angry that Everette trusted him and he was proven right when in 2035, Page and Majestic-12 had launched a military coup and overthrew the Illuminati. This led to MJ12 gaining access and soon complete control over all of the Illuminati's resources and institutions, but also took over Europe and Asia and became the de facto rulers of the two continents. DeBeers was correct and we would spend the next 17 years trying to remove Page from power and regain the Illuminati's control once more.

By 2052, (the year Deus Ex takes place), Lucius remains in his cryo pod but continues to be the de facto leader of the Illuminati as its current leader, Morgan Everette is still taking advice from him on how to effectively run the remnants of the Illuminati. Morgan had promised DeBeers that he would unfreeze him someday and would heal him to help him regain his rightful place as the Illuminati's leader. This however, is turned out to be a lie as Everette as no intention of doing it and has no resources for it. If the player finds out this information and discourse DeBeers hiding place, then JC Denton will reveal the information to him and will give the player the choice to either power down his pd and kill him, or leave it operational and keep him living. There's a message on a computer terminal in Area-51 which is an e-mail from DeBeers to Bob Page.

Appearance
Lucius looks like a very old and weak person in the game. He is very frailly and looks like a fleshy skeleton as a result of failing health over the years and his age of 130. His full body is never shown as a result of the pod and it takes up most of his appearance. He's Caucasian.

Personality
Lucius seemed to be a very calm and collective person as he would continue to help out the Illuminati. He appears to be very dedicated and determined as he was able to have the Illuminati rise from the both Century to the height of its power in the 21st Century and had world leaders "eating out of his hands". He also acts as the de facto leader of the Illuminati and makes sure that everyone he meets is aware of that.
