Connor (Detroit: Become Human)

Connor (Model RK800) (Aug 2038-15/8/2038 or 11/11/2038; determinant) is one of the three main protagonists (alongside Kara and Markus) and final antagonist (in machine path) depending on the player's choices from the 2018 video game Detroit: Become Human.
He serves as the main protagonist on his own story arc, a minor character in Kara's story, and a final antagonist of Markus's story (if Connor stay as a machine) or a supporting character. (if Connor becomes a deviant)
He is an RK800 android helping the Detroit Police Force to stop other Androids who became deviants. He's later assign with a human partner, Hank Anderson, a police lieutenant who hates androids, to find the deviants, who have an obsession with the word "ra9". This places them in a conflict with Jericho, a deviant resistance.
Connor is voiced and motion-captured by , who also portrays Eli Chandler in .
==Biography==
Connor is the first character that players played as. Appointed by CyberLife to negotiate with another android (deviant) named Daniel, he can save a fish or leave it be. As he walks, he sees Caroline Phillips, who begs him to save her daughter Emma Phillips. When she saw that Connor was a android, she panicked and complained to the police about why they didn't bring a real person, screaming that she refused to let Connor approach her daughter. Connor can also try to save the cop on the terrace or leave him as he speaks with Daniel. He will also tell him that he can't die since Cyberlife can give him new form and reintegrate his memory. Connor can either sacrifice himself to save Emma, successfully negotiate with Daniel to release Emma (but the police will kill Daniel), shoot Daniel in the head with a gun that he found, or fail his mission completely as Daniel kills himself alongside Emma.
Later, Connor teams up with the homicide detective Hank Anderson, where the player can make his relation with Hank better or worse. Amanda, his superior in CyberLife, is another figure who assists him during his missions. Again depending on player's choices, Connor can also makes his relation with her better or worse. Hank and Amanda have opposing view on Connor's choice. Should Connor focus only on his mission, Amanda's relation with him will increase. With Hank, he wants Connor to follow his human conscience (eventually turning him Deviant) to increase their relationship.
Connor's first mission with Hank was to investigate an Android-turned-Deviant by the name Kara (Another player character and protagonist), who fled after defending herself and a young girl named Alice from their abusive owner Todd Williams. Connor can either fail or succeed in this task. Connor's next task was to hunt a deviant named Rupert, who ran away after an accident has killed his fellow android. After finding Rupert, Connor chases him on the rooftop. Connor was forced to make a choice: fail his mission and save Hank or capture Rupert of all cost. Connor chooses the former, making Hank grateful for him and making him more human in the process. Another Deviant homicide case happened at the Eden Club. After Connor fetches Hank from his home, the two then proceed to the investigation and discover a blue-haired Traci, who turned Deviant and killed her client after witnessing him kill her fellow Traci. In the end, Connor can decide to spare the Traci and her brown-haired partner, receiving praise from Hank telling him that he did the right thing or shoot them and get a sarcastic congratulations from Hank.
After Markus declared the Android revolution, Connor went with Hank to the Stratford Tower. He successfully investigated about what happened and discovered a Deviant in the Tower working for Markus. Connor either successfully neutralized the Deviant or sacrificed himself to protect Hank in this point. Later, the pair went to meet Elijah Kamski, the creator of Androids. Connor passed the "Kamski test", sparing Chloe while not getting information from Kamski in return. Hank later asked why he didn't shoot. Connor says that "he can't shoot after looking at Chloe's eyes" and angrily justifies his action when Hank said "doesn't your mission matter the most?" Hank, pleased by his action and this act, also proves that Connor is turning human for showing empathy and anger.
After getting the information from the deceased deviant android, Connor decide to disguise himself as a deviant to capture Markus. Connor penetrates the hideout called Jericho. When he finally confronts Markus, who tries to convince him to join them. The player can make Connor be a deviant himself or remain a machine at human service, due to his unstable software, Connor can choose turning Deviant instead, helping Markus, Jericho, and his race to safety.
Connor later volunteered to sneak into CyberLife Tower and freed the Androids stored there. He was confronted by another Connor sent by CyberLife, who was holding Hank hostage. Connor successfully rescued Hank and defeated the CyberLife Connor, while Markus himself successfully led the Android protest and gained freedom. Connor led his new brothers and sisters to Markus' side, successfully fending off Amanda's control and meet his father figure Hank in the end, smiling and hugging him, showing that he also has become a human.

==Trivia==

*He is the first Quantic Dream protagonist with a determinant moral alignment; all previous protagonists are always heroes, except Scott Shelby, who is always a villain.

*If Connor dies in every chapter that he possibly can in one playthrough, the player will be awarded the "I'LL BE BACK" trophy. The name of the trophy is a reference to the iconic catchphrase of the Terminator.
*Bryan Dechart and , who portrayed Ethan Mars in , have stated that Ethan and Connor are similar because the player has the greatest control over their storyline and decisions when compared to the other characters.
*Connor is the most popular and most liked character in the fandom. When taking the survey in the game, they ask who your favorite character is (out of the three main player characters) and Connor has an overwhelmingly high percentage of votes.
**He is also the first and only character in Detroit: Become Human or in any Quantic Dream game to have an official action figure made of them (A Nendoroid figure by the Good Smile Company), if you don't count the statue of Kara that was included in the Collector's Edition of the game.

** Listening to Hank's order to not chase Kara and Alice across the highway.
**Saving Hank from falling off a bulding, over chasing the deviant android.
**Seeing an android commit suicide
**Sparing the Tracis at the club
