The "boss/enemy dude's" name is Barrett. There's also another concept of him:

[MyImmortal]

Thank you, I'll update.

[van_HellSing]

By the way, a dude with a gun-arm, named Barrett... haven't I seen this somewhere? Like Final Fantasy 7? :P

Now I must ask, but does anyone have any theories about the belt buckle that Barrett is wearing?



I know it could be just a personal item of clothing... but I'm figuring it could be part of the standard uniform.
If the latter, then I assume that Bull head might have some symbolism?

Many ancient cultures used the bull as some form of idol but I'm trying to stick to Greek mythology and the connection with Dedalos/Daedalus (inventor, and architect of the Knossos palace) and his son, Ikaros/Icarus.
These two names we are already familiar with...

[DXeXodus]

I shall sticky it then.

I say that after the bank closures at the end of the first decade of the 21st century a secret society was formed, made up of disillusioned ex Merrill Lynch employees, who aim to gain back all that they lost in the crisis...

Speaking of which, I think it'd be fun if they include future history books among the reading material in the game...

I also know that in Spanish culture, it reprisents opposition (Matador versus bull, running of the bulls, bullfighting, "The Barber" shortstory). To boot, bulls tend to be portrayed as aggressive, powerful beasts, perhaps a metaphor for the enemy themself?

And as to your theory about "002" meaning something, I think it means they're trying desperately to make the game even half as good as the second installment of the Deus Ex series. It's the one to beat, of course.

[van_HellSing]

"Taurus" is a common name for security companies. I'm not sure where this is derived from, but probably from the Minotaur again (guardian of the labyrinth).

Or, it might be a reference to the golden bull Moses finds his people worshiping when he returns from the mountain after receiving the Commandments. Now, this again might be linked to the "religion against augs" trope.

Oh, and about the "002", probably means nothing, since there's another pic of the same general location with "003" instead, probably just sections of the building.

[MyImmortal]

Interesting theories on the bull symbolism, thank you all.

Oh, yeah, you're right about those numbers, thanks.
*Goes to edit out what I suggested...*

[Romeo]

Yeah, that's more than likely, but if anyone's ever read the short-story, "The Barber", it features a character who is... Well, a barber, first and foremost, but is also secretly part of a rebellion in Spain. One day, a captain (AKA, an enemy) comes in and asks for nothing more than a haircut. The captain's name is Taurus (Or perhaps Del Toro, it's been a little while since I read it. In either case, his name translates to "The Bull"). While he's shaving the captain's beard, he considers if he should simply push in on the razor (and kill a high-ranking enemy) or just give the man a shave and hope that he doesn't know he's a rebel. He eventually cuts the captain's beard, without killing him, deciding that he probably has troops stationed outside. And in a surprise twist, the man, described as a monster by the rebels, tips generously and walks out to the street, where there's no units protecting him (as in, he relied upon the belief that the barber was a good man).

Upon writing this, I've come to notice that this seems like an opposing introduction to Deus Ex, as in Deus Ex you always start out on the side of the government, and have the option to join the rebels. In this story, you start out on the side of the rebels, and have the option to join the government. I'm probably over-analyzing the connection, just seemed notable to me, that's all.

Don't forget the rifle :-)

Good point. That is a sexy piece of hardware.

Ooooh, that must be a hint that this could mean something!

COULD YOU POSSIBLY BE ANY MORE CRYPTIC? Gosh...

[jordan_a]

What do I do with the concept art thread?

[MrP]

For what it's worth, the etymology of the name Barrett seems like it may be quite apt too...

BARRETT

Gender: Masculine
Usage: English
Pronounced: BAR-ət

• From a surname meaning "dispute" in Middle English, originally given to a quarrelsome person.

Nice catch on the FFVII tie-in though, van_HellSing. I wonder how deliberate that was.

I still think he looks too much like Duke Nukem though.

Nothing, I'll take care of it. Don't you worry.

Way too much like Duke Nukem, and I suppose that explains the title of Baretta Weapons, Inc. FIFTY-CAL RIFLE, WOOT!
