Biography
Sarif Industries CEO, He wants to use the augmentation industry to revitalise the economy of his home city of Detroit, and has fitted out old car plants to manufacture mechanical augmentations, both for commercial and military use.

Human Revolution
He was preparing for the augmentation debate in Washington, when the black-ops team, the Tyrants attacked the Sarif HQ in Detroit, killing several scientists, presumably including his niece, Megan Reed, and nearly killing the chief of security and Sarif's friend, Adam Jensen. He provided several augmentations that were implanted to save Adam's life.

Six months later, he pulled Jensen out of the sick leave when an extremist anti-augmentation group Purity First attacked the Milwaukee manufacturing plant, just as the production of top-secret military augmentation, the Typhoon Explosive System was to begin there. He sent Jensen to secure the data and rescue the hostages.

Upon Adam's return, Sarif had him retrieve the Neural Hub of the augmented Purity First hacker from the Detroit Police Department morgue, disable the transmitter in Derelict Row district that kept a backdoor open to SI network, and investigate abandoned bot factory complex in Highland Park.
