Stanton Dowd

Stanton Dowd is one of the members of the Illuminati.

History
Stanton Dowd was the previous owner of the superfreighter that was commanded by Majestic-12 for the distribution of the Gray Death in the United States, before it was loaded onto crop-spraying aircraft. After Tracer Tong finds Illuminati "footprints" in the genetic information of the Gray Death virus, JC Denton meets Dowd in ruins of a destroyed warehouse in Hell's Kitchen. Dowd, coughing constantly, is revealed to be himself infected with Gray Death and JC can deliver him Ambrosia from the freighter. However, even if he doesn't, Dowd still lives and contacts him later in the game.

Stanton Dowd may have died during the Collapse, as hinted by Chad Dumier and Nicolette DuClare.
