Joseph Manderley

From DeusEx Wiki

Joseph Manderley is the chief at UNATCO HQ in 2052. Originally kind yet firm when the player completes the mission objectives, he gets more bitter every time you meet him. He is never seen outside of this office during the game and during the game's timeline is never said to be anywhere else.

When JC is escaping, he overhears a conversation between Manderley and Walton Simons in which Simons reveals that Manderley was never of any real importance to his and Page's plans and chosen for his appointment because of his general mediocrity. By way of apology to JC, if the player does not take hostile action, Manderley will give JC a chance to run before trying to kill him. Killing Manderley is not required, however it may be necessary if the player wishes to hack Manderley's computer . If JC runs, Manderley will not pursue beyond the door to his office. Though MJ-12 has no future use for Manderley and he never appears later in the game; however, later news stories imply that Manderley is killed by MJ-12 for failure if not explicitly killed by JC.

His login is jmanderley and his password is knight_killer. Using this information, the player can read his email for backstory, or during the escape, can decipher half of Anna Navarre's killphrase, only useful if Navarre is still alive.
