Seth Chen

Seth Chen is the senior field technician of the Alpha team of Task Force 29's North American Division. He appears in the novel Deus Ex: Black Light.

Biography
Prior to joining Task Force 29, Seth Chen was part of the US Coast Guard's cyber-ops force. While having a flippant personality, Chen is valued by his unit commander Christian Jarreau for his competence on the field. Chen has a crush on fellow Alpha team member Raye Vande.

In early 2028, Chen's Alpha team is in Detroit to hunt down the arms dealer Sheppard. In Detroit, Chen notices the activities of Adam Jensen, and digs up information on Jensen's past to inform his unit.

With the help of Jensen, the Alpha team prevents Sheppard from airlifting military-grade augmentations out of Detroit. Later, Chen is among the TF29 members assigned to guard a train shipping the augmentations out of Detroit for disposal at a military base. However, the train is attacked by Illuminati operatives under the command of Jenna Thorne. Chen is gravely injured by Gunther Hermann, one of the attackers, and is killed by an explosion shortly afterwards.

Trivia

 * While discussing Jensen's past, Chen describes Jensen as "...just a city boy, born and raised in South Detroit," clearly referencing the Journey song "Don't Stop Believin.'"
