Francis Pritchard

Francis Wendell Pritchard is the head of cyber-security division at Sarif Industries in Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

Background
As the head of the cyber-security division at Sarif Industries, Francis is responsible for the overall digital well-being and security for the company. His performance evaluations have noted him to be remarkable at "thinking outside the box" when it comes to his work ethic, but his ineffectual behaviour towards co-workers has been under evaluation.

He was arrested July 17 for "Fraud and related activity in connection with access devices and computers" charges, along with four other additional unknown accomplices.

Frank Pritchard works with Adam Jensen and gives him advice through Adam's Infolink on security conditions on the field. He is highly knowledgeable about security layouts, and various points of entry, tending to side with indirect, covert routes. He was the one who told David Sarif the company needed to have a physical security team for protection, but wanted Dynacore, Sharp Edge or Belltower, all top private security contractors, and not Adam.

Pritchard is first seen in Human Revolution during the prologue, heading up to Athene Margoulis's desk to explain the methods that will be used in tracking SI scientists during the augmentation hearing in Washington.

Later, after Adam returns from his post-augmentation sick leave, Pritchard quickly fixes his retinal display, saying that right and left image processors were not completely in sync, goading Jensen in the process. During the Milwaukee factory mission, he provides logistical support for Jensen, and serves as a way of communicating with David Sarif.

Once Adam recovers the Neural Hub from a dead augmented Purity First member and Pritchard examines it, revealing that it's been modified with a wetdrive that allows to turn the hub's owner into a human proxy, he sends Jensen to disable a transmission in Derelict Row, and afterwards traces the origin of the hacker to an abandoned factory in Highland Park.
