Connor (Model RK800) is one of three main protagonists (alongside Kara and Markus) in the 2018 Quantum Dream video game Detroit: Become Human.
He’s an android sent by Cyberlife to assist the Detroit Police Department with their investigation into a series of cases involving deviant androids. His assigned partner is a washed-up Lieutenant Hank Anderson, who has a prejudice toward Androids due to their involvement in his son’s death.
He was voiced and motion-captured by Bryan Dechart.
His Good Ranking[]
What Makes Him Admirable?[]
- He was able to save the life of a young girl named Emma when she was taken hostage by Daniel, an android that went Deviant.
- He also saved an unnamed officer’s life during the hostage situation, by using his tie as a tourniquet, preventing the officer from bleeding out.
- He showed Lieutenant Anderson the utmost respect despite Hank’s aggressive behavior and initial hostility towards him when they met at the bar.
- During one of their investigations, he managed to locate an android that went Deviant due to its owner’s abuse and arrested it. He later interrogated the android and learned about something called “RA9”, which would go on to be a critical part of their future investigation involving other Deviants.
- He also showed empathy toward Carlos’ android after the abuse it endured and stopped the other officers from harassing it.
- He let Kara and Alice escape, understanding they were Deviants that just wanted to be free, directly disobeying his programming.
- When he and Hank were chasing after a Deviant on a rooftop and Hank fell off the ledge, Connor pulled him back up, saving his life. Once again, disobeying his programming by prioritizing saving a human’s life over apprehending the Deviant.
- After learning that the Traci bots were victims of sexual abuse, he let them go, despite being ordered to destroy/kill them.
- If he does kill the Traci bots, he later shows remorse for it and tells Hank he regrets doing it.
- At Stratford Tower, Connor can sacrifice himself to save Hank’s life by shielding Hank from bullets when a Deviant grabs a gun and starts shooting people
- He also has the choice to take a nearby officer’s gun and fire at the Deviant, killing it before it manages to harm anyone.
- When he and Hank visit Elijah Kamski, the former CEO of Cyberlife, to interrogate him about the Deviants, he says he’ll only tell them what they want to know if Connor is willing to shoot and kill one of his Chloe bots. If he chooses to spare her, his Software Instability goes up immensely, since he prioritizes the life of an android over his investigation.
- If Connor/the player has built up enough Software Instability over the course of the game (by making “humane” decisions that disobey his programming), Connor can be persuaded by either Markus or North into becoming a Deviant himself.
- After becoming a Deviant, he helps Markus/North in their rebellion to liberate all androids.
- He visits Cyberlife Tower to “wake” all of the dormant androids up so they can join in their revolution.
- When Connor-60 holds Hank at gunpoint, Connor is willing to give up freeing the dormant androids to save Hank’s life.
- After the other Connor is killed by Hank, Connor wakes the androids and leads them out of Cyberlife. With their overwhelming numbers, the humans are forced to stand down, allowing the androids to win their freedom.
- If Markus and North are killed and Connor becomes the new leader of the Deviants, his AI mentor Amanda will attempt to take control over him. Connor then has the choice to kill himself to prevent Cyberlife from taking control of his body and capitalizing off the revolution, making him a martyr for the Deviant cause.
What Makes Him Inconsistent?[]
- Since most of his heroic acts and admirable traits are player-determinant, he can’t qualify for PG or NPG, since he can actively subvert some or all of these redeeming qualities and even be played as a villain.
- He can potentially kill multiple people, including any of the Deviants he investigates and multiple guards at CyberLife Tower, making him lethal.
