Todd Williams

**Todd Williams** is a human in *Detroit: Become Human*. He is the father of Alice and the owner of Kara, who he assigns to look after his home daughter. He is a recurring antagonist in the World Protection Security Agency stories.

## Appearance

Todd is a white middle-aged man who has brown hair that reaches to his neck with blue eyes, a stocky build, and tall at 6 ft.

In The Opening, Todd is seen to be wearing a dark olive jacket. The regular out is a maroon top with a dark green cardigan over it, dark denim jeans with black shoes.

## Personality

As seen in "Stormy Night", Todd is shown to be extremely hot-headed and short-tempered and would resort to violence whenever it is "needed" (due to his wife leaving him with his daughter and his addiction to Red Ice), as shown when he threatens Kara that he will "bust her worse than last time" if she moves, and intends to inflict physical harm towards Alice with his belt. As a Red Ice addict, he is prone to frequently inhale Red Ice for comfort. He also shows obsessiveness and hostility on whoever gets in his way.

Todd is highly emotionally unstable and tends to have extreme flashes of rage over the smallest perceived slights. He loses control frequently, contributing to multiple destructions of Kara before the story begins and possible destruction of Alice and Kara for the last time. Todd tends to believe that he can tell what other people are thinking just by looking at them. He shows signs of having a persecution complex and believes that his misfortunes in life are caused by people intentionally screwing him over. For example, he believes that his wife left him for an accountant without a word, when in fact she had told Todd at least once before their divorce that his anger was scary and that he needs to stop abusing drugs. Todd constantly deflects blame to others for his own mistakes and shameful feelings. However, he appears to be able to regain some composure if Kara reasons with him while he is not under effects of Red Ice.

Todd's extreme mood swings can result in him going from mercilessly beating his daughter in a blind-rage, to then sobbing on her shoulder and repeating to himself that loves her just seconds later. During these episodes, Todd will end up confessing about his faults multiple times, however, these episodes appear to be transitory and do not appear to affect his likelihood of entering another blind rage later on.

Todd had also developed a habit of lying to protect his citizenship and mental health, as shown in lying to a salesperson about Kara's apparent destruction and treating Alice as his real daughter. Todd is possibly combating depression and has been taking an antidepressant called Zolpidem Tartrate (seen on the bottle label), the warnings on this medicine read "Contains Tianeptine" and "Risk of behavioral disorders."

In spite of this, Todd is a weak-willed, miserable, self-loathing and insecure man who lost most, if not all of his self-esteem and confidence from his poor upbringing and has devolved into a spiteful misanthrope selfishly willing to harm others and his own health for no apparent reason beyond a lack of self-control. He also fails to make attempts to improve himself or doesn’t bother to do it at all, ironically making himself sink much lower than what he used to be. If reasoned with by Kara if she meets him again, Todd seemingly had a change of heart, showing regret over driving his family away and acting unpleasant to Alice while he wanted to have his family back to prove that he could be a good father. Although Todd knows his family won't come back to him, he wishes Kara, Alice, and Luther good luck on their journey to Canada.
