Replicant Leaders: Rebels Of The Blade Runner Universe
The Replicant Leaders category covers the figures who organized other Nexus models against their makers, across the Blade Runner films and comics. In Ridley Scott's Blade Runner, the Nexus-6 combat model Roy Batty led the escaped replicants who reached Los Angeles in 2019, hunting more life from the Tyrell Corporation before his four-year span ended. In Titan Comics' Blade Runner 2029, Yotun was the Nexus-6 revolutionary who escaped Aahna "Ash" Ashina in 2017, prolonged his life with transfusions, and led an uprising that seized police headquarters before Freysa Sadeghpour killed him. Freysa, a Nexus-8 combat medic, led the replicant resistance in Blade Runner 2019, Blade Runner 2029 and Blade Runner 2039, hid the child born to Rachael and Rick Deckard, and in Denis Villeneuve's Blade Runner 2049 was still leading the underground when she told Officer K to kill Deckard. More of these leaders will be added as their pages are written.
Freysa Sadeghpour was the Nexus-8 combat medic who led the replicant resistance in Titan's Blade Runner comics and Villeneuve's Blade Runner 2049. She hid Rachael's child, partnered with Ash, lost an eye to Yotun, and told K to kill Deckard to keep the girl safe.
