**Captain Allen** is a human in *Detroit: Become Human.* He is a senior member of the Detroit City Police Department SWAT unit 32.

## Biography

### Pre-game

Captain Allen was born December 2, 1994. He is a member of the Detroit City Police Department and its SWAT unit.

### The Hostage

He is the leader of the DPD SWAT team that is assigned to apprehend Daniel in The Hostage chapter. He is seen looking at the surveillance footage of the hostage. When CyberLife sends Connor as a negotiator, Allen is shown to have a dislike toward androids: He answers Connor's questions concisely and dismisses him, although the questions are addressed to Daniel and his behaviour as a deviant. He then tells Connor to negotiate with the deviant. Otherwise, he and his team will take care of it. If Connor wastes too much time finding evidence, Allen will yell at him to talk to the deviant.

In any event, Allen will look at Connor in awe of the result of the hostage situation.

### Battle for Detroit

In one of the choices, he appears instead of Hank Anderson (only if Hank committed suicide in Night of the Soul). His orders are to apprehend any androids (including those who haven't become deviant) seen in the area. He appears when Connor is setting up a sniper rifle on the Hart Plaza rooftop to assassinate the deviant leader (Markus or North) from the rooftop of the building. Allen and his team will approach and order Connor at gunpoint to drop the sniper rifle and put his hands up. Connor can obey his command, explain what he is doing, or continue with his objectives, the latter two resulting in Allen threatening him to turn around. Allen remembers seeing Connor during the hostage situation, but regardless, he and his team attempt to detain Connor. Now unable to convince Allen of the current situation, Connor has the choice to fight or flee.

* If Connor flees

Connor will run and jump off the building as Allen tries to stop him, but is too late. Disappointed, Allen swears under his breath, *"Fucking androids.".*

If Connor chooses to fight, he will pretend to surrender before fighting the SWAT officers and Allen.

* If Connor successfully executes QTEs
* If Connor unsuccessfully executes QTEs

If the player performs the actions correctly, Connor will kill one or two of Allen's guards before killing Allen himself. Afterwards, Connor will pick up the sniper rifle and attempt snipe the deviant leader. Unfortunately, the scope was damaged, making the rifle useless. Connor then drops it and leaves the rooftop, but not before showing his disappointment to the now-deceased Allen.

If the player fails to perform the actions correctly, Connor will kill at least one of Allen's guards before being rendered immobile, Allen will then kill Connor himself. With Connor defeated and kneeling on the ground, Allen pulls out his pistol to shoot Connor in the head. He gives out his parting words, *“I should have done this the first time I saw you.”*, before killing him.

## Personality

Captain Allen is a blunt, impatient and strict individual who follows his orders if needed and seemingly disregards anything he considers as trivial or comes second to his mission. He comes off as cold, distrusting, and insensitive to anyone he speaks to with little time for formalities and will go straight to the point at best and perform unnecessary actions at the climax of missions if he happens to disagree with his superiors and lose his patience at worst, but he happens to dislike unnecessary collateral damage and casualties when they extend to either his men or innocent people.

Due to his job, Allen takes anything with caution and tends not to underestimate anyone who poses as a threat and stays loyal to his superiors without question to the point he is willing to turn against former allies, even if they are on his side or act for the greater good.
