* InformedSpecies: Aside from a very dark face, Koba looks little like a real bonobo: he is bigger than most of the chimps in Caesar's colony, whereas real bonobos are noticeably smaller than chimpanzees, and he also lacks the leaner physique and proportionally longer arms that real bonobos have.

* MessianicArchetype: In spades. He is the "saviour" of the Apes, conceived from a miraculous birth (the only ape born intelligent rather than artificial brain modification) gives all Apekind the gift of Intelligence (ALZ-113) and leads them to an exodus away from the Human oppressors to the "Promised Land" of the forests where they can live in peace. Everyone, even Koba, looked up to him as a sort of GodEmperor but despite all this he retained an overwhelming sense of compassion, understanding, and tolerance to all sapient life -- human and ape alike. He follows a strict self-imposed morality of ApeShallNotKillApe, seeking to avoid war whenever is possible, though if you cause him trouble, he definitely knows how to kick your ass. Of course, no Ape version of Christ can be complete without a catastrophic betrayal caused by his most trusted "brother": [[spoiler:Koba, who "killed" him, dismantled all of Caesar's work and led the Apes to immoral brutality and persecution of both humans and Caesar's remaining apostles. Caesar even metaphorically "rose from the dead" when Malcolm found him, brought him back to Heaven (Will Rodman's house), and returned to Apekind injured but stronger, ending in the apes "repenting" and [[DisneyVillainDeath Koba's damnation into Hell]].]] His personal symbol, the sequin-like window of Rodman's house even became the universal symbol of Ape liberation ala the Chi-Rho of early Christians. Finally, in ''War'', [[spoiler:he leads the Apes to a new Promised Land, where the few remaining humans cannot follow, and dies just after making it there, leaving his fellow Apes bereft of his guidance but knowing they are safe and free for his efforts.]]

* TragicVillain: Koba was once an innocent, friendly, compassionate ape who would have never harmed anyone, but the tragic loss of his beloved mother and years of neglect, abuse and torture at the hands of humans left him forever scarred, inside and out. Despite his troubled past, Koba was genuinely grateful to Caesar when the latter freed him. Because of that gratitude, in the 10 years between ''Rise'' and ''Dawn'', Koba was one of Caesar's most trusted lieutenants, and he genuinely cared for his leader and his fellow apes. Unfortunately, when he discovered human survivors living in San Francisco, Koba's fear and hatred of humans was reawakened, and when Caesar decided to work with them for the sake of peace, Koba could not understand or accept that, because unlike Caesar he had no reason to believe that any human could be good. As a result, Koba's fear and anger began to outweigh his love for apes. By the end of the movie, Koba is willing to kill and imprison apes that get in his way, as he feels they've betrayed their own kind by having sympathy for the humans. In the end, Caesar realizes Koba is to far gone to be saved and with a heavy heart drops him to a CruelAndUnusual Death - a painful end to a life filled with pain.
