Michelle Walthers

Michelle Walthers is an elderly woman, and character in Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

Background
Not much is known about Michelle Walthers past, other than the fact that she was employed at White Helix Labs as part of the nursing staff, the place where the fire started that killed Adam Jensen's parents.

Here, she took Adam from his crib, claiming all the other babies had already been saved.

Sometime later, Adam was adopted by a married couple, and Adam never knew about this incident until he read some e-mails that David Sarif, the head of Sarif Industries and Jensen's boss, sent him after an argument that Jensen won. Until then, Jensen thought his adoptive parents were his birth parents.

2027
Walthers is encountered in the Side-Quest "Forgotten Acquaintances", as an elderly and senile woman. She mistakes the main character for a "Rolling Meals" delivery man, claiming that he is too old to be Jensen. Without her knowledge, Jensen slowly gets her to reveal little parts about his past, eventually revealing his parents actually started the fire to protect Adam from the Illuminati. She is unsure whether or not his "real parents" were his real parents at all, however, and tells Adam that there had been some kind of gene therapy happening at the labs. He was special, one of a kind, since he was the only one who survived what they did to him. When they overheared that the Illuminati wanted to use Adam to inoculate the next batch of infants, his parents started the fire that resulted in their deaths and White Helix labs' destruction.

After revealing this, if interacted with, she will repeat the same thing, asking him if he could give her dinner and leave. Since Adam is inclined to leave, she will give him 200 Credits, asking him to buy Adam a present for his missed birthdays and Christmases. Adam simply stands up and leaves, with the objective being "Let Ms. Walthers Rest". As Adam leaves, he asks Pritchard to assign a security detail to her apartment. She is never seen again.
