Dr. Pierre DuMont

Also known as WhiteKnight, DuMont is a French scientist and bio-medical expert. He is the inventor of the disease that creates the crazed enemies Nate is faced with.

Prior to the Game
Some time before 1969, Dr. DuMont invented a new virus capable of turning human beings into mindless zombies. He attempted to sell his invention to the U.S military, but was considered a phony and taken to Cambodia where he would be 'out of sight and out of mind.' On the course of the journey, an accident occured that left DuMont's transport wrecked and the crew dead. Stranded, he made his way to an old temple somewhere in the jungle, and began to experiment with the disease, infecting local Vietnamese and American soldiers.

In-Game
He is rarely seen in the game, appearing briefly in a vision that Nate has the first time he comes into contact with his infected brother. He is seen again in another vision, where he is injecting the virus into Cal Walker and describing how he was turned down by the U.S government.

At the end of the game Nate finds DuMont's hiding place, where he finds his brother and realizes that DuMont has invented an antidote which could cure the infection. DuMont pleads with Nate to take him out of the jungle since the knowledge to make the cure presences only in his head, but Cal becomes enraged and shoots him through the shoulder. Nate can then either kill his brother and rescue the scientist, or let Cal shoot DuMont and leave him in the hell he created. If the first option is chosen, DuMont is able to deliver the antidote and wipe out the virus. He is then hidden away somewhere by the United States to prevent any more incidents but Nate swears that he will find DuMont and get revenge for what he had done to Carl. If the second option is chosen, Nate will see DuMont staggering out of the temple and calling for help before being torn apart by Infected.

It is unknown after the game ends whether Nate is successful in finding DuMont and killing him, although even if he isn't there would probably never be another outbreak of the virus, as the United States most likely put DuMont in to an insane asylum.
