Syphon Filter 2

Stevens reached the post of Deputy Director after Gabriel Logan killed Edward Benton and took over command of the Director of the Agency after the murder of Thomas Markinson. Stevens agreed with the objectives of the Agency to acquire the Syphon Filter virus, it was attempted by Markinson and Edward Benton. He used a scientist  - Elsa Weissinger to continue the study of the second phase of the virus at the same time he sent Dillon Morgan is on a mission to seize and kill Lian Xing and Gabriel Logan.

When Morgan got killed, Stevens lost control of the situation and made a deal with Logan - the exchange of personal files of Jonathan Phagan on a vaccine for Lian Xing. However the deal was a trap to capture Logan, but  Logan was able escaped from custody, forcing Stevens to close the  Agency Laboratory in New York and send operatives to patrol the streets, where they met with police officers.

Stevens took over command of the operation and took a female police officer as a hostage and killed her before Logan can do anything, when Stevens was about to kill Logan, Teresa Lipan saves Logan's lifes, Logan and Teresa chase Stevens In the New York parking garage, Logan has dispatched Stevens' henchmen and spots Lyle running up from a staircase near him with Teresa chasing him. Lyle is cornered and kneels on the ground, taunting Logan and Teresa they need him alive if they want to know more. Teresa ignores this fact and offers Logan to execute him or to let her do it.

Logan then executes Stevens and remarks that he's nothing more than "Another dead agent."

Trivia

  • If one leaves the .45 handgun near Stevens and does not retrieve it from him before he finishes his dialogue. Stevens will grab the gun, get up and shoot Teresa in the head (resulting in a parameter failure) and shoot the player's head as well.
  • If Gabe takes the ,45 handgun and does not shoot Stevens, Teresa will shoot him instead and say "You've gotten soft in your old age, Gabe".
  • He is listed as a Deputy Director in the Instruction Manual, at the same time that Edward Benton was also a Deputy Director. It is possible he was promoted after Benton's death due to also being listed as an operative at the same time but regardless, in Syphon Filter 2 he is the new Director after Markinson.
