Collins

Corporal Collins is the first UNATCO trooper encountered in the first mission of Deus Ex. Collins has a nice and friendly attitude towards JC Denton, and is also sympathetic towards Paul, as later discovered in the game.

Biography
Collins is first seen patrolling the south dock of Liberty Island. Later, after JC returns from the Warehouse District, Collins is seen in his office in the headquarters filling out a report on the mop up operation of the situation in Hell's Kitchen.

After JC returns from the airfield, Collins is seen talking to Sgt. Michael Berry about the Ambrosia situation, looking at it philosophically. Collins believes that rationing Ambrosia to favors the elites is ethically questionable, given that the government could pay VersaLife to manufacture more. In light of Paul's defection from UNATCO, Collins hopes that Paul pulls off whatever he is trying to do.

Interactions
At the start of the first mission, speaking to Collins will reveal details about the events leading up to the current situation. If Collins is killed on Liberty Island, his death will have no effect on the rest of the game and he will still spawn during the second and third visits to the UNATCO headquarters. Collins is not encountered during JC Denton's escape from the headquarters.
