Arthur Jensen is Adam Jensen's adoptive father.

Biography[]

By the year 1990 (age 21), Arthur met and married Margie Jensen.[2] The couple lived in Michigan, United States. There, Arthur worked as security at White Helix Labs, officially a research facility for childhood genetic diseases, but in reality the company performed experimental genetic therapy treatments on young children. It is unknown if Arthur knew about the real purpose of the Labs. Arthur relied on the Labs' insurance policy to pay for Margie's medication.[3]

Arthur also served in the US Army and took part in the Operation Desert Storm in the Middle East in 1991.[4] He maintained connections with his fellow Desert Storm veterans.[3]

As of 2027, Arthur and Margie are both alive and located in the Detroit area.[5]

Adopting Adam[]

Arthur and Margie wanted children but Margie was sterile. They tried adopting children from several Michigan agencies, but Margie was deemed unfit as a parent due to her medication.[3]

An unknown time after Michelle Walthers rescued Adam Jensen from the fire at White Helix Labs, she gave him to the Jensens. Walthers knew the couple wanted a child and thought they would make good parents for Adam.[6]

At the age of 5, Adam appeared as the Jensens' new child, with no paper trail of adoption.[3]

Notes[]

  • Adam never mentions his father in any of the games or other media.

  2. This e-mail refers to Margie as Arthur's wife, implying they had been married for at least 8 years before Labs' destruction in 1998.

  4. Arthur's participation in the Desert Storm is implied in this e-mail. Given that Arthur worked at White Helix Labs for at least 8 years up until the Labs' destruction in 1998, and Desert Storm took place in 1991, he was probably mobilized to Army during his work at the Labs.
