Miguel

Miguel was an NSF footsoldier who was captured by UNATCO forces and imprisoned in the secret Majestic-12 base beneath the UNATCO Headquarters on Liberty Island. Miguel is an ally to the player and can assist the protagonist, JC Denton.

In Deus Ex
When J.C first meets Miguel, the NSF soldier already knows, more or less, who JC is, acknowledging J.C as the "spy they caught." If J.C is injured, Miguel will provide him with a medkit which he had smuggled in. Initially, Miguel is armed with a combat knife (something else he had managed to smuggle in), but is capable of acquiring other weapons from the bodies of killed or unconscious MJ12 and UNATCO troopers.

Throughout escaping from the MJ12 base and the UNATCO headquarters, J.C can order Miguel to follow and cover him, stay where he is, or make a break for it himself. It is possible for Miguel to die, although his death will have no effect on the game's plot. If Miguel escapes to the helicopter successfully, he will stop accompanying J.C and the two will part ways, with Miguel thanking JC and wishing him good luck. If Miguel escapes, his eventual fate is unknown, although it is probable that he escapes from Liberty Island.

Having a Spanish accent, it is presumed that Miguel is of Hispanic heritage. His face is never seen, as he is only seen wearing the usual NSF body armour. Miguel has an appearance identical to any NSF terrorist in-game.

Trivia

 * Miguel is the last living NSF member to be seen in the game. Even though the NSF is still operational as an organization, Miguel is the last NSF member JC will meet in-game. References to the NSF may still be found subsequent to these levels.
 * Miguel has a Spanish accent.
 * Miguel possesses a straightforward, obedient and very optimistic personality (even reassuring J.C Denton that the former believes they can "make it" out), demonstrated by his willingness to escape, as well as obey J.C's orders.
 * It is unknown why Miguel was being held in the MJ12 base's detention block, and not the UNATCO headquarters prison.
