Cygnus is a Neon dealer operating in Prague. He operates out of Libuše Apartments #84, which is the location for one of the objectives in the SM00: Neon Nights side mission of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.
Biography[]
After the Dvali took control of the Neon production lab in the sewers,[1] they intended to distribute Neon only through Dvali-authorized dealers such as Bonbon and her group. However, Cygnus was able to deal Neon behind the Dvali's backs by collaborating with Harmony Knapková, a Neon chemist who works in the Dvali-controlled lab but secretly supplies Neon to Cygnus. Cygnus in turns supplies the Neon to various parties in the city, including the "Neon Nights" hosted by John Dubnyk at the 33 Hlavní Apartments and another party known as the "Neon Rave" that takes place in the Train Tunnels.
To distribute Neon, Cygnus operates under the cover of a cleaning service known as the "SWAN services" and also as Labut' Cleaning Service,[2] which appears to be a collaboration with another person named Labut.[3] The cleaning service offers customers the service of cleaning up after a Neon party, as well as, presumably, the distribution of the Neon itself. Neon distributed by Cygnus is often seen along with a swan towel.
At the advice of Labut, Cygnus trusts Dubnyk as a business party.[3] When Dubnyk was threatened by Bonbon, Cygnus advised Dubyk not to be scared, since they have the benefit of someone on the inside and they both deserve to get rich.[4] However, potential trouble has recently arisen. Katarina Wenzel, a Neon party-goer, seems to be nosing around Cygnus' operation.[5][6][3] A more serious problem is that the Dvali have been suspecting Harmony of smuggling Neon out of the lab.[7] As a result, Harmony has been forced to switch from smuggling Neon out of the lab to arranging pick-up points for Cygnus.[8]
Notes[]
- In the side mission "SM00: Neon Nights," Adam Jensen can discover Harmony's location by reading a pocket secretary in Cygnus' apartment, which has a rainbow-colored swan logo on its front door.
