William Taggart

William "Bill" Taggart is the founder of the anti-augmentation group Humanity Front. He appears in Deus Ex: Icarus Effect and Deus Ex: Human Revolution, and in the latter is voiced by Bruce Dinsmore.

History
Bill formed the group Humanity Front in 2021, soon after Antoine Thisdale's famous court case regarding his right to amputate and augment himself to be able to compete with his augmented peers. In 2027 he is in Geneva, Switzerland, when the Tyrants plan to assassinate him, making him a martyr for his cause and push for a UN vote on augmentation regulation. Although Ben Saxon fails to kill him, Scott Hardesty shoots and kills his secretary, which still successfully ignites anti-aug regulation among the government.

Taggart is mentioned several times in Human Revolution, and he appears in person at least once.

After Adam Jensen returns from the Highland Park FEMA complex, Taggart and his 3 private security agents (2 resembling MiBs from the beginning of the first game) can be found in front of David Sarif's reception desk, after Taggart and Sarif have had a discussion. Adam may either listen to his claims that augmentation is endangering the human race, or confront him about the Purity First incident, to which he will show contempt toward the player.

One Sarif industries employee notes his impressive charisma and speech skills.
