Juan Lebedev

Juan Ivanovich Lebedev (rus: Хуан Иванович Лебедев) is a major NSF supporter, financial backer and the mastermind behind the operation of capturing the Ambrosia vaccine. He owns one of the terminals at LaGuardia Airport, which he bought when New York City had financial problems. UNATCO considers him a very dangerous man and instructed its agents to kill him.

When Paul was ordered by UNATCO to kill Tracer Tong, Lebedev managed to prove to Paul that UNATCO was really a corrupt arm of the conspiracy group, Majestic-12. Also, evidenced by the datacubes found in NSF strongholds, he was responsible for the operation to distribute Ambrosia to the masses, as well as the NSF resistance in Hell's Kitchen.

When JC arrives at his 747 in La Guardia, Lebedev tells JC about UNATCO's corruption, JC and Paul being products of genetic engineering, not natural birth, and the name of the conspiracy group controlling UNATCO (Majestic-12). During this interrogation, Anna Navarre arrives and orders JC to kill Lebedev or let her do the job. Here, the player can choose to kill either Lebedev or Anna. It is possible to leave them both alive, but this takes some amount of skill. If the player refuses to kill Lebedev, Manderley scolds JC for his insubordination. Sparing Lebedev's life does not save him, however, as he is ultimately captured by Majestic-12 and executed. His murder is blamed on JC Denton, as later discovered through media sources.
