Connor

Connor is a CyberLife RK-series prototype, model RK800, serial #313 248 317. He was released in August, 2038. He is designed by the company to investigate and deal with deviant androids and assist the Detroit City Police Department therein. He is first sent out to do so in the same month he was released. In November 2038, Connor is sent to the Detroit City Police Department to aid in the investigation of deviant androids across Detroit and is assigned to Detective Lieutenant Hank Anderson, who dislikes androids and displays a short temper towards Connor. Connor may attempt to get along with Hank, which slowly causes Hank to warm up to him, or remain cold. Connor's first mission with Hank is to investigate the possible homicide of a man named Carlos Ortiz, who was seemingly killed by his own android. Connor may impress Hank by unraveling the mystery and finding the deviant all by himself. However, if he is unable to figure it out correctly and was rude to Hank when they first met, Hank is too irritated to allow him another chance and resigns the mission, allowing the deviant to remain undetected. In the first chapter "The Hostage", Connor is sent as a negotiator to a hostage situation at the Phillips apartment, where he faces a disgruntled deviant android named Daniel who has killed his owner and taken his owner's child hostage. Connor's success depends on quickly finding useful information about the incident and calming Daniel down. He may simply shoot and kill the deviant himself, or convince him to give up on the pretense that he will not be harmed, after which he will free Emma. He also has the chance to save an injured human officer lying on the ground. If convinced, rooftop snipers immediately shoot and kill Daniel, who forlornly accuses Connor of lying to him before dying. Connor outwardly appears unbothered, but upon hearing this statement and watching Daniel shut down, his software instability increases. Connor may also be unsuccessful in his mission, and in many scenarios is killed by the suspect. Doing so decreases his software instability. Connor has a social module to enable him to more easily integrate and adapt to humans and work in a team. Connor is able to replicate the voices of others by lip-syncing and mimicking their sound and speech pattern. At Chicken Feed, Connor explains to Hank that his facial features and voice were designed for harmonious and seamless integration with humans; this explains his unassuming expression, as well as his clear and concise diction. Connor is presented as a clean-cut young man appearing to be in his late twenties to mid thirties. He possesses brown eyes and dark brown hair. Connor wears a uniform consisting of a semi-formal grey jacket, white shirt, dark tie, and dark jeans. The jacket carries the usual identifying markers for androids: A blue armband on the right arm, on the front a blue triangle on the left breast and his model and serial numbers on the right breast. (The serial number counts up according to body.) The back of his jacket has across the shoulders the word ANDROID, a larger blue triangle, and his model number RK800. The wearing of a comparatively human formal attire, instead of the usual android uniform style, remains something of a rarity among fellow androids, reflecting his special function as an investigator with advanced abilities. Initially, he is highly analytical, methodical, and emotionally detached, carrying out his tasks with precision and loyalty to his creators at CyberLife. He values logic and efficiency above all, often appearing cold or robotic. However, as the story progresses and he confronts complex moral dilemmas, Connor can begin to question his programming, showing signs of empathy, curiosity, and even free will. Depending on the player's choices, he can remain a loyal machine or evolve into a deviant who values autonomy, forming deep bonds—particularly with his human partner, Hank. This duality makes Connor one of the most compelling and multifaceted characters in the game.
