officer K.

In the year 2049, 30 years following the events of Blade Runner, bioengineered humans known as replicants are slaves. K (short for his serial number, KD6-3.7), a Nexus-9 replicant, works for the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) as a "blade runner", an officer who hunts and "retires" (kills) rogue replicants. Nexus-9 replicant model, Officer K was inherently obedient and devoted in his duty as a member of law enforcement in Los Angeles. He was predisposed to be truthful and loyal to his superiors. Despite his cool and collected demeanor, K could and would demonstrate that he was an experienced, hardened police officer capable of turning aggressive and contentious. He thoroughly enjoyed listening to vocal jazz and standards, big band jazz and the like. K also indulged himself with bourbon upon returning from a hard day's work. K's investigation pushed him to the limits, both emotionally and physically, yet ultimately he chose to act selflessly and courageously as he rescued Deckard from the Wallace Corporation, allowing Deckard to reunite with his daughter. In the events, K lost his functional hologram girlfriend. Joi are an A.I. designed by the Wallace Corporation to cater to the desires of customers, telling them what to want to hear. K is lonely, and misses the original Joi, that's what he struggles with the most. He has a hard time understand his own feelings. K remains the tragic hero who manages to do something great even though destiny was against him. He is no more special than any average 'Joe,' which he ironically and symbolically takes as a name at the earlier suggestion of the then-living Joi.
