Neil Townsend

Sergeant Neil Townsend is a SWAT team commander in Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

Background
Townseand is in command of the police units at Milwaukee Junction Sarif Industries facility, during the attack by Purity First extremists. He is reluctant to be kept back by the company's CEO, considering it to be a waste of human life.

Interactions with the player character
He can be questioned by the player for tactical information about the Purity First terrorists.

On the players second visit to Detroit, he will be behind a large riot shield in front of the Sarif Industries HQ. Strangely, he is not named "Neil Townsend", but rather a generic Riot Cop.
