Wayne Haas

Wayne Haas is a character in Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

Background
A former SWAT team leader, Haas used to lead Detroit's Team Two during police operations. In 2020 he became friends with Adam Jensen, a fellow squad member. However, the two separated in 2025, as Jensen refused to comply with Haas' order to take down a dangerous augmented fifteen-year old during an operation and promptly left the force shortly afterwards.

Wayne, who ultimately shot the boy, suffered a nervous breakdown as a result of his actions and guilt over the choice he made. His grief impacted his work efficiency, ending up with him being demoted from SWAT team commander to precinct desk sergeant. He blames Jensen for his situation, specifically, his refusal to follow a direct order.

Human Revolution
Haas can be found at the Police Station, where he is currently a desk sergeant on duty.

When Jensen needs to access the Police Station's morgue to recover the dead Purity First member's Neural Hub, he has to talk his way in through Wayne or find an alternate access route. It is possible to convince Haas to forgive himself and take charge of his life once again. In this case, Haas will be grateful and let the player inside the station and also give him permission to move around the station freely, without antagonizing other policemen.
