Anna Navarre

Anna Navarre is one of the two mechanical-augmentated agents working for UNATCO in Deus Ex. She is very loyal to UNATCO. She stands roughly five feet ten inches tall, and sports extensive mechanical-augmentation. Anna is at first your ally but eventually becomes an adversary. She is voiced by Carolyn McCormick.

Early Life
Not much is known about Anna aside from her long history with UNATCO (and possibly MJ12). At some point in her life, she became extensively mechanically augmented, but it is never said whether she chose to be modified or whether the augs were installed to save her life, as with Gunther Hermann and Adam Jensen. She has killed several hundred people throughout her career, earning the trust of UNATCO. Following his inauguration at UNATCO, Paul Denton and Navarre formed a team, during which Paul disappointed her on several occasions due to his disdain for killing people.

Deus Ex
In 2052 UNATCO promoted her to the rank of Major and incarnate the Peacekeeping Forces of the United Nations. Anna was JC Denton first partner after his arrival at UNATCO, but she was content to sit out their first mission outside Castle Clinton, where the goal was to recover a stolen canister of Ambrosia, while Denton handled the guards inside (presumably so that Denton's performance could be "assessed"). She is suspicious and somewhat hostile toward her nano-augmented colleagues, but has a more open mind than her cohort, agent Gunther Hermann. Anna will put up with them, as long as they get the job done (in as bloody a manner as possible). Avoiding confrontation or using non-lethal methods will cause her to show her disgust with the player's "weakness". If the player chooses a violent path for their character, Anna begins to significantly warm up to him after the first two missions.

After the purge of Castle Clinton, she thought that they should remove all people from the NSF to the situation of theft does not happen again. After serving with the JC first night, she wanted to be assigned back to Gunther Hermann but Manderley refused, threatened to submit a written complaint to Walton Simons, just like the collaboration with Paul earlier, and she was ordered by Joseph Manderley to kill NSF leader Juan Ivanovich Lebedev at LaGuardia Airport. When President Philip Mead declared in a state of emergency, Anna decided that this entitles her to shoot without warning and during the fight against terrorism, has gained wide acceptance in the military environment, she received the rank of Colonel.

Deaths
The game offers several opportunities in which Anna Navarre can be killed, and this affects later responses by Hermann and other characters.

The first one is rather early on when you are sent to arrest Juan Lebedev in his private jet at LaGuardia. You will find Lebedev after you have spoken to your brother Paul who informs you that he has been working with the NSF. You'll spend some time talking with Lebedev as he tries to turn you. After the first conversation ends Anna will barge in. She will order you to kill Lebedev, at this point you can also open fire on Anna and kill her. You'll have to be carefull not to kill her too close to Lebedev because Mechs explode when killed! Now Lebedev will be glad to see that you turned and tell you someone will contact you. If you did choose to kill Lebedev or simply let Anna kill him, then there'll be two more points where you will have a chance to kill her. The first is when you take subway to Battery Park and Anna storms in. You'll have another chance after escape from UNATCO HQ. The easiest way to do it is by hacking several computers around the base before you proceed to the exit. On two of these computers you will find two parts of her killphrase. Once you have found them you will simply tell Anna "Flatlander Woman" and "boom"! You can of course just choose to shoot her.



When Anna is dead Gunther Hermann will have a serious beef with you. Not immediately if you pick the first chance to kill Anna, because they'll assume something went wrong on the plane. Eventually though Hermann will catch up and he'll be in a very foul mood.

At the end of the first game, Anna Navarre is dead, killed by JC Denton. If you use the exploit to get past her, she never makes a later appearance.

Trivia

 * Like Gunther Hermann, agent Navarre can be terminated by simply speaking aloud a killphrase specifically. As in Gunther's case, death only occurs after a few seconds, long enough for Navarre to express her fury ("How did you know-?!").
 * Navarre's killphrase is Flatlander Woman, but to use it, JC must decipher it. Part of it is on Navarre's own computer in the makeshift office on the way to the level 3 jail, and the other part is on Manderley's computer.
 * Interestingly in the initial stages of character creation, Anna was left arm equipped with a modular unit containing a tray tactical 7.62mm NATO ammunition AutoCarbine.
