Neil Character Overview

Hinted as a UCA Mercenary

Neil the Mercenary

Not much is known about Niel (Luca Marinelli). However, in the Pre-Order trailer for Death Stranding 2, it is hinted that he is a mercenary that works (reluctantly) for the UCA. Later in the trailer, he reveals to Lucy (Alissa Jung) that he smuggles cargo over to Mexico.

When pressed for details, he tells her that the cargo he smuggles are actually comatose pregnant women. This hints at an operation that may be experimenting on Bridge Babies or BBs - something the UCA is known for in the Death Stranding universe.
