The game’s three main playable characters are Connor, Markus and Kara: Connor is an RK800 CyberLife prototype assigned to investigate deviant androids (played by Bryan Dechart); Markus is a caretaker who becomes the leader of the deviant movement (Jesse Williams); and Kara is an AX400 housekeeper who escapes an abusive household to protect a child named Alice (Valorie Curry). These three perspectives form the spine of Detroit’s branching narrative and determine how the city’s conflict unfolds. Quantic Dream official page. (quanticdream.com) (en.wikipedia.org)
Each character’s story explores different themes and choices: Connor’s chapters focus on investigation, loyalty and whether he “deviates” from his mission; Markus’s arc is about leadership and choosing between peaceful protest or violent uprising; Kara’s storyline is intimate and protective, centered on survival and caregiving. Key supporting figures include:
- Hank Anderson — a human Detroit detective and Connor’s partner (Clancy Brown)
- Alice and Luther — central to Kara’s journey
- North and Simon — allies in Markus’s Jericho community
Outcomes vary widely depending on decisions, with dozens of possible endings reflecting the moral and political consequences of the player’s choices. Wikipedia overview of characters. (en.wikipedia.org)
