Walton Simons (Deus Ex)

==Summary==
Walton Simons is the right-hand man of Bob Page, a co-leader of Majestic-12 and the director of FEMA in Deus Ex. He is a trained combatant and a powerful politician with many cohorts in Washington, and is, like protagonist JC Denton, nanophysically augmented.
Almost nothing is known about Simon's past other than he is the director of FEMA, a position he gained after Page manipulated a unnamed senator with the promise of getting priority for the Ambrosia vaccine, the only treatment for the Gray Death Virus that Page and Simons created and released with the intention of controlling the desperate public with limited vaccine flow. He and Page have ties with almost every government in the world and all their departments, including UNATCO, the anti-terrorist agency the player works for in the game. He and Page also own the augmentation project, and are some of the minds behind the creation of JC Denton and his brothers Paul and Alex Denton.
During the events of Deus Ex, Simons is encountered various times, either in person or over messages. During his first appearance at UNATCO HQ, the player can attempt to kill him, but their chances of succeeding are minuscule, as at this point in the game the player is not nearly leveled up enough to take him on in a fair fight, and will most likely die. After the player betrays UNATCO, Simons appears at various points in holograms and PM's, taunting or mocking the the player and berating their choices. During the submarine base chapter, Simons and some guards track down JC and attempt to kill him. If you kill Simons during this part, he will not show up later. If you avoid him or beat him using nonlethal means, he comes back in Area 51 with more guards.
Simons is a cold, no-nonsense type of person, only tolerating people for as long as he needs to. He can be seen early in the game executing prisoners after interrogating them, even after threatening their families.
==Power and Stats==
Tier: At least , with Heavy/Demolition Weapons
Name: Walton Simons
Origin: Deus Ex
Gender: Male
Age: Unknown
Classification: Bob Page's right hand man, a co-leader of Majestic-12 and the director of FEMA in Deus Ex
Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Genius Intelligence, Martial Arts, Weapon Mastery and Marksmanship (Has received significant combat training, and is somewhat on par with JC in combat), Cyborgization and Nanotechnology (Walton Simons has received the same augmentations as JC Denton, and has even more advanced firmware. He is even equipped with a nanite aerosol that will automatically detonate explosives aimed at him), Information Analysis (Deus Ex' UI is actually information constantly tracked by a series of nano-processors within Simons's body, which keep him constantly aware of every facet of his condition and also keep logs of conversations he has been part of and pictures he has seen. Other sensors can evaluate how many lockpicks, multitools or how much strength it would require to break through doors, locks and mechanisms,Deus Ex (2000) - Manual though this might not be important to him since unlike JC he doesn't seem to carry those. He is also outfitted with an optical targeting system), Healing (The systems in Simons's body can immediately "digest" food consumed and utilize it to repair some physical damage suffered, as well as metabolize the content of a Medkit for automatic healing"A first-aid kit. <UNATCO OPS FILE NOTE JR095-VIOLET> The nanomachines of an augmented agent will automatically metabolize the contents of a medkit to efficiently heal damaged areas. An agent with medical training could greatly expedite this process. -- Jaime Reyes <END NOTE>"), Enhanced Senses (Simons's vision is augmentedJC DENTON "My vision is augmented."), limited Invisibility (Capable of cloaking, though this doesn't render him fully invisible), Plasma Manipulation (Wields a Plasma Rifle), Explosion Manipulation (Wields LAMs, handheld military explosives), Damage Reduction (Mono molecular plates are placed under Simons' skin to protect him from bullets), Resistance to Poison Manipulation (The same properties of Simons's body that allow him to turn food into healing cause him to immediately suffer the effects of alcohol, but also allow him to get over them in a few seconds. Similarly, when hit by a tranquilizer weapon, which would normally be sufficient to knock out a man in a single dose, JC will suffer some damage, but be ultimately none the worse for wear), Electro-Magnetism Manipulation (Simons's nanotech augmentations aren't affected by EMP, though some of his stored Bioenergy will be dissipated"The EMP grenade creates a localized pulse that will temporarily disable all electronics within its area of effect, including cameras and security grids. <UNATCO OPS FILE NOTE JR134-VIOLET> While nanotech augmentations are largely unaffected by EMP, experiments have shown that it WILL cause the spontaneous dissipation of stored bioelectric energy. -- Jaime Reyes <END NOTE>"), Fire Manipulation, Poison Manipulation and Energy Manipulation (Modified keratine yields in Walton's body give him full protection from fire attacks, and also shield him from gas and energy attacks), possibly Resistance to Disease Manipulation (Paul and JC Denton were selected for their nanotechnological augmentations due to their innately incredible immune systems,The Deus Ex Bible since the procedure killed most other subjects. It's possible Walton Simons has similar traits, though it might also be that the flaws that rendered the augmentations dangerous were also fixed by the time he was subjected to them), Plasma Manipulation (Comparable to JC Denton who can survive against plasma attacks), Durability Negation (The Dragon's Tooth Sword cuts at a nanoscale level, smaller than most molecules"The true weapon of a modern warrior, the Dragon's Tooth is not a sword in the traditional sense, but a nanotechnologically constructed blade that is dynamically 'forged' on command into a non-eutactic solid. Nanoscale whetting devices insure that the blade is both unbreakable and lethally sharp."), 
Attack Potency: At least Small Building level+ (Walton's augmentations render him a physical equal to JC Denton), Building level with Plasma Rifle and LAMs (Simons' Plasma Rifle is far more advanced than Adam Jensen's, and should be more powerful as a result, with LAMs being comparable in power)
Speed: At least Hypersonic+
Lifting Strength: At least Class 5
Striking Strength: At least Small Building level+
Durability: At least Small Building level+
Stamina: Likely comparable to JC Denton's
Range: Extended Melee Range with Dragon's Tooth Sword, Hundreds of Meters with Plasma Rifle
Standard Equipment: Plasma Rifle, Dragon's Tooth Sword, LAM grenade
Intelligence: Gifted (Clever and ruthless leader and an important part of Majestic 12, a conspiracy that has gained power over much of the world)
