| 19 | Dr. Eldon Tyrell is the genius who has built up the [[MegaCorp vast]] Tyrell Corporation. He is the creator of the Replicants. |
| 20 | ---- |
| 21 | * AdaptationNameChange: His last name was ''Rosen'' in [[Literature/DoAndroidsDreamOfElectricSheep the original novel]]- possibly to avoid the implications of the big business owner having a Jewish surname. |
| 22 | * AffablyEvil: At best he's morally grey, but he befriends Deckard quickly and treats Roy with respect, even though Roy had invaded his home to make his demands. |
| 23 | * AnimalMotifs: Owls. His company's logo is an owl and he keeps a (Replicant) Owl in his offices. His large glasses give him an owl-like appearance and he is a holder of knowledge like owls are often portrayed as. |
| 24 | * CorruptCorporateExecutive: His creations seem to disagree with the ethics of creating sapient beings that are doomed to a short life of hard labour. |
| 25 | * EyeScream: [[spoiler:In combination with this, he gets his [[HeadCrushing head crushed]] by Roy.]] |
| 26 | * FailureIsTheOnlyOption: He delves into academic studies with Batty who is desperate to extend his four-year lifespan. Even with intelligence that matches his creator's, both come to the same conclusion: any attempt to chemically or biologically alter the artificial DNA code of a replicant causes an error in mitosis and its cells to go viral, [[TheProblemWithFightingDeath killing said patient]]. However, the script has notes for the exchange that Tyrell ''might'' be lying, and that Roy is not certain whether to believe him. |
| 27 | * FourEyesZeroSoul: Tyrell wears thick glasses and is responsible for exploiting the life he creates with forced servitude and short lifespans. |
| 28 | * GreaterScopeVillain: In some ways he's more of a villain than Roy is, being responsible for the nature of the replicants and all the misery caused by it, but he's largely uninvolved in the story itself. |
| 29 | * KickTheDog: Tyrell dismisses Rachael as "an experiment, nothing more", and once she finds out the truth, he totally ignores her and doesn't raise a finger to keep her from being hunted by the LAPD. |
| 30 | * MadScientist: A brilliant scientist who doesn't stop to think that creating artificial humans with emotions and personalities might backfire on him someday. |
| 31 | * ObliviouslyEvil: He seems to have genuine admiration and respect for his own creations- he also seems to think that condemning them to a short life of slavery allows them to "burn so very, very brightly". |
| 32 | * SmartPeoplePlayChess: He has an ongoing game with J.F. Sebastian. Sebastian even explicitly refers to both Tyrell's intellect and his skill at chess. |
| 33 | -->'''Roy''': Is he good? Your opponent?\ |
| 34 | '''Sebastian''': Dr. Tyrell? I've only ever beaten him once at chess. He's a genius. |
| 35 | * SmartPeopleWearGlasses: He's never seen without his bifocals. |
| 36 | * TooDumbToLive: |
| 37 | ** When your angry, vengeful creation is confronting you and demanding you perform a medical procedure on him, the correct answer is not to explain why that procedure would be fatal, it's to ''perform it anyway''. Possibly justified in that his idolization of Roy as his ultimate creation may have been stronger than his self-preservation. |
| 38 | ** He also shows questionable judgment in allowing Sebastian to come up to his apartment in the dead of night without warning or explanation, or without checking security, just because he (actually Roy) makes a brilliant chess move. |
| 39 | * WickedCultured: He comes across as more highbrow and intelligent than most of the other characters of the first ''Blade Runner'' film do (except possibly Roy). |
| 40 | * VillainWithGoodPublicity: His company appears to be quite profitable, and nobody seems to complain about its business ethics of using robot slaves. |
| 41 | * VillainousLegacy: [[spoiler:His final great success, producing a Replicant capable of having children, is what drives the plot of ''Blade Runner 2049'', decades after Tyrell's death.]] |

| 52 | |
| 53 | Rachael is the latest experiment of Eldon Tyrell. Tyrell believes that as the Replicants have such a limited lifespan, they have little time to develop control of their emotions, causing difficulty managing them. He believes implanting them with memories would create a cushion which would allow for emotional development, and make them more controllable. Rachael has the implanted memories of Tyrell's niece, and she is led to believe that she is human. It is not revealed in the film how long she has been living, but Tyrell admits that he thinks she is beginning to suspect the truth of her existence. When Rachael learns the truth, she is ignored by Tyrell. In desperation, she turns to Deckard, who has been told by Captain Bryant to retire her. He eventually falls in love with her. |
| 54 | ---- |
| 55 | * AdaptationalHeroism: Her book counterpart is revealed to be very sinister by the end of the novel. |
| 56 | * AdaptationNameChange: Her last name was ''Rosen'' in the original book. |
| 57 | * AmbiguouslyHuman: It's not revealed she's a Replicant at first until she is submitted to the Voight-Kampff test. Even she doesn't know - only Tyrell does. |
| 58 | * ArtificialHuman: Like all Replicants are. |
| 59 | * BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:When she blows Leon's head off to save Deckard.]] |
| 60 | * ClonesArePeopleToo: She's more or less Tyrell's pet project, a replicant designed to be as human-like as possible and to have a more complex backstory (in the form of implanted memories) than the others. He treats her like a human and she never suspects she isn't one until Deckard shows up. |
| 61 | * DeadpanSnarker: She shows some signs of this during the Voight-Kampff test. |
| 62 | -->'''Deckard:''' You're looking through a magazine and come across a full-page nude photo of a girl...\ |
| 63 | '''Rachael:''' Is this testing whether I'm a Replicant or a lesbian, Mr. Deckard? |
| 64 | * DeathByChildbirth: [[spoiler:She died 6 October 2021 giving birth to her daughter]]. |
| 65 | * DefrostingIceQueen: It takes a while before she and Deckard finally get it over with and kiss. And even then, [[ForcefulKiss he was rather rough with her.]] |
| 66 | * DoAndroidsDream: As the most human-like of the Replicants in appearance and personality, it's pretty much impossible to tell she is, in fact, an artificial life-form. |
| 67 | * EmotionlessGirl: She has a very cool demeanour towards Deckard at first, but this breaks down after she learns she's a Replicant and finds it hard to take. |
| 68 | * FakeMemories: They're really memories from Tyrell's niece. |
| 69 | * HiddenPurposeTest: Subverted. Exposed to one by Tyrell who wanted to see a negative result from Voight-Kampff before providing a positive result. (Debatable as to whether Deckard was the "negative result" Tyrell sought after, see ArtificialHuman entry above.) It typically takes 20-30 cross questions to expose a replicant, but it took ''over 100'' to reveal Rachael was one. |
| 70 | * LettingHerHairDown: She does this in Deckard's apartment. |
| 71 | * TheLostLenore: She and Deckard aren't present at the start of the movie, and the reasons why unfold as the plot advances. [[spoiler:Rachael died in 2021 [[DeathByChildbirth in childbirth]], and it most definitely affected Deckard.]] |
| 72 | * OnlyOneName: Unlike the other replicants, her last name, assuming she has one, is never stated (in the book it was "Rosen"). |
| 73 | * PlotDrivingSecret: [[spoiler:She died in 2021, as explained in ''Film/BladeRunner2049''. She passed away after [[DeathByChildbirth giving birth to a child]], and her bones are found by Officer K at Sapper Morton's farm in 2049. The discovery of this is what motivates K's quest to find both the child and the father.]] |
| 74 | * PosthumousCharacter: [[spoiler:In ''Blade Runner 2049'', Rachael has been dead for 28 years, although her memory clearly lingers.]] |
| 75 | * PresentAbsence: Rachael is absent from the story of ''Blade Runner 2049'' [[spoiler:due to having been dead for decades]], but she's extremely important to the plot nonetheless. |
| 76 | * PrettyInMink: Rachael wears a few, indicative of her pampered status. |
| 77 | * PromotedToLoveInterest: Although Rachael and Deckard sleep together at one point in the book, their relationship is much less romantic. Book!Rachael is ''not'' a good person, and they emphatically do not end up together at the end of the novel. |
| 78 | * RidiculouslyHumanRobots: Rachael takes this trope pretty far: she's a Replicant who thinks she is human. When Deckard tests the machine on Rachael, it takes over one hundred questions for him to determine she is a Replicant (it takes only twenty or thirty, normally). The sequel takes this even further: [[spoiler:Rachael, unique among Replicants, was capable of having children.]] |
| 79 | * RobotGirl: Being more or less the Tyrell Corporation's robotic SexySecretary. |
| 80 | * SexySecretary: To Tyrell, at least at first. |
| 81 | * SmokingIsGlamorous: In fitting with the FilmNoir aesthetic of the movie, there are several scenes where she smokes cigarettes. |
| 82 | * TransferableMemory: None of her childhood memories are real. |
| 83 | * UnrelatedInTheAdaptation: In ''Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep'', Pris and Rachael were identical androids of the same model; here they have no connection to each other beyond both being replicants. Also, Rachael's cover in the book was as Rosen's (non-existent) niece. In the film, she is said to have memories that were taken from Tyrell's (existent) niece but her cover seems to be as an unrelated employee. |
| 84 | * WasItAllALie: She never says it, but she throws away "her" photo with her "Mother" when Deckard reveals the truth to her. |

| 97 | A genetic designer working for Tyrell. He is not allowed to emigrate off-world. |
| 98 | ---- |
| 99 | * AdaptationalIntelligence: His book counterpart John Isidore's intelligence is so low he's considered a second-class citizen; here, he's a wildly clever engineer. |
| 100 | * AdaptationNameChange: Was called ''John R. Isidore'' in the book. |
| 101 | * AnArmAndALeg: In the non-canonical novel sequel ''Blade Runner 2: The Edge of Human'', he's lost both legs and one arm. He can only move because he's strapped to his robot teddy bear's back. |
| 102 | * DeathByAdaptation: J. F. Isidore survives the book. |
| 103 | * DecompositeCharacter: ''Edge of Human'' has John Isidore show up as a different character. |
| 104 | * DroppedABridgeOnHim: [[spoiler:Killed offscreen by the replicants.]] |
| 105 | * GeniusDitz: Sebastian is very skilled at chess and is clearly possessed of a fine mind to be a genetic designer at such a young age ([[YoungerThanTheyLook despite appearances]], he's only 25), but he's woefully naïve of the danger presented by Roy and Pris. [[spoiler:It costs him his life]]. |
| 106 | * KilledOffscreen: The only way we learn he was killed was the police dispatch mentioning the body of a 25 year old man. |
| 107 | * LastNameBasis: He's mostly referred to as just "Sebastian." |
| 108 | * NiceGuy: To the point of GoodIsDumb. He goes out of his way to help the replicants out of the kindness of his heart, shelters them, gets them their coveted audience with Tyrell, and look what he gets out of it. |
| 109 | * NotSoDifferentRemark: He agrees to help the replicants meet Tyrell because he's sympathetic to them from having a genetic disorder which gives him a shorter lifespan just like they have. |
| 110 | * SmartPeoplePlayChess: Has an ongoing game with Tyrell, who beats him regularly. |
| 111 | * SparedByTheAdaptation: ''The Edge of Human'' said he just barely survived the movie. |
| 112 | * UnwittingPawn: Roy and Pris are just using him to get to Tyrell. [[spoiler:Sebastian doesn't realise this until it's too late to save Tyrell or himself.]] |
| 113 | * YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler:Killed by Roy after giving him and Pris access to Tyrell's chambers and being alarmed by Tyrell's murder]]. |
| 114 | * YoungerThanTheyLook: Has Methuselah Syndrome. Because of this he ages faster and has a shorter life span, something he has in common with the replicants. He looks over fifty when he's in fact in his twenties. |

| 149 | |
| 150 | A manipulative Replicant manufacturer whose company perpetuates the work of the Tyrell Corporation after buying its remnants. He managed to legalize the production of Replicants again in 2036. |
| 151 | ---- |
| 152 | * AbusiveParents: |
| 153 | ** He frequently refers to his Replicants as his children, and is ''staggeringly'' cruel to them. He slices one's stomach open with a razor [[KickTheDog just because he can]], and it's debatable whether or not [[TheDragon Luv]] is so fanatically loyal to him because that's how she's programmed or because [[AlternativeCharacterInterpretation she's genuinely afraid of him.]] |
| 154 | ** ''Anime/BladeRunnerBlackLotus'' shows that his own father was verbally abusive towards him and very impatient with his prioritizing perfecting the art of Replicant creation over company profits. |
| 155 | * AccentUponTheWrongSyllable: He speaks with a lot of weird pauses and strange, lilting tone-shifts. It's one of the things that makes him seem ironically more robotic than any Replicant. |
| 156 | * AGodAmI: Wallace has some serious god complex issues going on. He's [[InsufferableGenius INSANELY]] arrogant, and frequently describes his empire in Biblical terms; referring to his Replicants as "angels" and claiming that it's mankind's birthright to [[VisionaryVillain control all the stars in the heavens.]] |
| 157 | * AlwaysSomeoneBetter: He's taken up the work left behind by Tyrell Corporation and surpassed it in many ways, [[spoiler:but Tyrell's work did manage ''one'' thing still beyond Wallace's grasp and is what drives the entire film: producing a Replicant that can actually give birth]]. |
| 158 | * AllThereInTheManual: The followup series ''Anime/BladeRunnerBlackLotus'' establishes this Niander Wallace as actually being Niander Wallace Jr. It was his father, the Senior who bought the bankrupt Tyrell corporation and actually established the Wallace corporation. This makes sense since if the film's Wallace was the same approximate age as Jared Leto, then it would be implying that he did all of that when he was in his early to mid teens. |
| 159 | * BeardOfEvil: He's the BigBad of ''2049'', and he sports a beard. |
| 160 | * BigBad: The main villain of ''2049'': [[TheHeavy Luv might do most of the heavy lifting]], but she's acting on his orders. |
| 161 | * BringHimToMe: Used almost word-for-word (says "it") by Wallace when he orders Luv to capture Deckard. |
| 162 | * ColdHam: While he never shouts or flails about, he is prone to long and self-important monologues full of religious metaphors and megalomaniacal lines. [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools This generally serves to make him seem even more creepy and unpredictable.]] |
| 163 | * ConspicuousConsumption: In a city where clean water, real wood, building space, and natural light are a luxury, Wallace's EvilTowerOfOminousness is '''massive''', mostly empty, lit by natural lighting, and has rooms paneled mostly in wood and filled with perfectly clear water. We only even see a few employees working there, so it seems just huge for the sake of being huge. |
| 164 | * ContrastingSequelAntagonist: |
| 165 | ** Compared to the previous film's BigBad Roy Batty. Roy was a Replicant who sought nothing more than freedom and a normal lifespan, and did pretty much all of his own dirty work. Wallace, on the other hand, is a human who favours the idea of engineering Replicants as a SlaveRace, and is a NonActionBigBad. In addition, Roy was blond, clean-shaven, and superhuman, while Wallace is dark-haired, bearded, and blind. |
| 166 | ** He can be also compared to Eldon Tyrell, creator of the Replicants and lead of Tyrell Corporation. While Tyrell was an affable, grandfatherly old man with thick glasses who usually dresses in white or in a nice tuxedo, Wallace is a solemn, sophisticated younger man with a high-tech sight system who always dresses in a black, distinctly Eastern outfit. Also, Tyrell was a doctor and the creator of the Replicants, while Wallace is never stated to be a scientist or anything beyond a businessman and only wants to exploit Tyrell's invention. Finally, while Tyrell dies losing his eyes, Wallace is blind from the start of the film. |
| 167 | * CorruptCorporateExecutive: He made sure the production of Replicants became legal again in 2036 by unethical means. And he brought a whole new level of unethicality to Tyrell's experiments and products. |
| 168 | * {{Cyborg}}: He has robotic implants in his head, which help him to see using small cameras-drones. |
| 169 | * EmperorScientist: He controls most of humanity's artificial food production, has undeniable political influence and lives in the pyramid than was once Tyrell's home, which still towers over Los Angeles. |
| 170 | * EmptyEyes: As a result of being blind. |
| 171 | * EvilCounterpart: Tyrell was hardly a saint but he had some affection toward his Replicants and in a twisted way saw himself as their father. Wallace sees himself as a god that gives and takes life of his creations on a whim. |
| 172 | * EvilCripple: A blind (without his camera drones anyway) MadScientist with a god complex and complete disregard for the life of his creations or that of the people who will stand in his way. |
| 173 | * EvilIsHammy: He tends to have lengthy, philosophical monologues in every one of his appearances, often in a monotone with exaggerated annunciation. |
| 174 | * EvilIsPetty: While he has set up shop in Tyrell's pyramid, rather than simply moving in to Tyrell's old penthouse, Wallace built over it, expanding the pyramid to nearly twice the size it was in the first film. It's his way of showing that he has to be bigger and better than Tyrell in every way. |
| 175 | * EvilWearsBlack: He's dressed entirely in black. |
| 176 | * EyeScream: Whatever made him blind left numerous scars around his eyes. |
| 177 | ** ''Anime/BladeRunnerBlackLotus'' revealed it to be the result of [[spoiler:Elle slicing him across the eyes with her katana.]] |
| 178 | * FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon: He's a [[LooksLikeJesus messianic]] figure played by the handsome and youthful-looking Creator/JaredLeto and a ruthless megalomaniacal narcissist with zero empathy for anyone, human or Replicant. |
| 179 | * FatalFlaw: Arrogance. Wallace is so utterly convinced off his own [[AGodAmI godlike superiority]], he would never even consider that [[spoiler:the Replicant "child" he's so obsessed with is not only [[FailedASpotCheck right under his nose]] but actually works for a subsidiary that ''[[EpicFail Wallace's own company controls.]]'']] ''Anime/BladeRunnerBlackLotus'' reveals that [[spoiler:he got his distinctive eye scars and lack of vision from Elle, one of his own replicants that he turned into a TykeBomb to help pave his way to taking over his father's corporation. Wallace had programmed Elle to never be capable of hurting him, allowing him to stand right in front of her with a drawn sword without fear, despite the high body count she'd amassed, impressive hand-to-hand skills and clear animosity she demonstrated towards him. However, Elle circumvented this by [[LoopholeAbuse closing her own eyes so she couldn't see whom she was attacking]], allowing her to make a quick draw slash across his face and taking his eyes, something Wallace clearly didn't think she was actually capable of doing]]. |
| 180 | * FauxAffablyEvil: Wallace's calm, measured tone comes off as vaguely polite, but it proves to be a poor cover for his megalomania and god complex, and it doesn't change the fact that he's an amoral MadScientist who engineers Replicants as a slave race. His interaction with [[spoiler:Deckard]] shows this well: [[spoiler:he maintains a courteous tone as he ponders the implications of Deckard and Rachael's relationship, and offers Deckard a life of comfort in exchange for the location of his child, even offering Deckard a copy of Rachael. Once Deckard refuses, Wallace immediately has the duplicate shot then tries to have Deckard carted off to the off-world colonies to be tortured into giving up the information that Wallace wants.]] |
| 181 | * FailedASpotCheck: [[spoiler:Never even considered the idea that the "child" he was looking for actually grew up by the time K and the LAPD even found Rachael's remains and discovered she died via childbirth. Nor did he even consider that said "child" was Ana, who had a contract with him to provide the newer Replicants with memories.]] |
| 182 | * FreudianExcuse: Wallace is an absolute megalomaniac who deserves absolutely zero sympathy, but there is no denying his verbally abusive father is the reason he is the way he is. |
| 183 | * FreudWasRight: [[spoiler:For someone who spends the whole movie obsessing over how Rachael was capable of reproduction, he shows an odd lack of interest in learning how ''[[AmbiguouslyHuman Deckard]]'', someone he outright states might be a Replicant, is capable of the same thing. This, combined with his highly sexualized harassment and torture of that poor newborn Replicant woman, and his statement that he has "millions" of children, has some [[FridgeHorror very unsettling]] implications about who he plans the "father" of the next generation to be.]] |
| 184 | * HorrifyingTheHorror: [[TheDragon Luv]] is an AxCrazy psychopath who loves causing pain...and she's visibly shaking and ''crying'' while watching Wallace mutilate one of her sisters, just as an indicator of how bad her boss is. |
| 185 | * InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Implied. It's clear that his inability to match Tyrell's last work of genius - [[spoiler:Replicant reproduction]] - galls him to no end, and not only has he bought his predecessor's penthouse and company, but he's converted the old Tyrell ziggurat into a new building that's literally twice as large and half as occupied, just to show off [[ConspicuousConsumption how wealthy he is.]] |
| 186 | * IOwnThisTown: Los Angeles is pretty much his property, as he can have Luv murder police officers to retrieve evidence, owns AttackDrone and controls the food production. |
| 187 | * KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:Although his plans do get foiled and he loses his right-hand woman at the end of ''2049'', he himself is left largely untouched, and nothing's stopping him from opposing Deckard and the rebelling Replicants again at a later date.]] |
| 188 | * KickTheDog: |
| 189 | ** He slashes a 'newborn' Replicant in the lower abdomen with her eventually dropping and dying of bloodloss, [[EstablishingCharacterMoment just to wax philosophically about his Replicant's inability to reproduce]]. |
| 190 | ** Later, when his attempt to [[spoiler:tempt Deckard with a new Rachael fails]] he doesn't hesitate to direct Luv to shoot [[spoiler:her]] right in the head. Part of [[spoiler:their meeting]] also involves [[spoiler:showing Deckard the original Rachael's skull]]. |
| 191 | ** In ''2036: Nexus Dawn'', he orders one of his Nexus-9 Replicants to kill himself to prove how subservient this line is. |
| 192 | * KimonoIsTraditional: The first time we see him, he is wearing a black Japanese kimono complete with proper sandals. While it could be a reference to the JapanTakesOverTheWorld trope that dominated the cyberpunk genre made popular by ''Blade Runner'', it also serves to show he is a spiritual, philosophical character (or at least he tries to be). |
| 193 | * LackOfEmpathy: Towards Replicants (he explicitly engineers them as slaves and kills a newborn Replicant just to illustrate a point) and humans alike (he has no regard for the people Luv kills in his service). |
| 194 | * LooksLikeJesus: Invoked for irony and [[DarkMessiah symbolism]]. |
| 195 | * MadScientist: Subverted. He's never stated to be a scientist, but he reprised Tyrell's work to create stronger, more ruthless and more servile Replicants and made their lifespan unlimited. He always compares his work to divine creation. [[spoiler:He is also obsessed with finding the secret of the reproduction of Replicants, which Tyrell apparently did find before dying, as Rachael gave birth.]] |
| 196 | * MeaningfulName: Niander, which literally means "new man," but also evokes "Neanderthal." In other words, he's both a futurist who seeks to be the progenitor of a new species and a brutish caveman who just wants to violently dominate. |
| 197 | * MegaCorp: His high-tech company bought out the now-bankrupt Tyrell Corporation and produces virtually all of Earth's artificial food supply as well as the new Nexus-9 Replicants and "entertainment" technologies like the Joi A.I. |
| 198 | * NonActionBigBad: Doesn't throw a single punch and doesn't fire a single shot throughout the duration of the movie (although he does stab a character in a non-fighting context). Justified since he's blind and a businessman. |
| 199 | * NotSoStoic: A downplayed example, but he seems rather pissed off when [[spoiler:Deckard dismisses both him and his replicant clone of Rachael, exemplified when he immediately has the fake Rachael [[KickTheDog executed in front of Deckard.]]]] He also responds irritably when Deckard asks him if he has any children, snarling that he has "MILLIONS of children." See FreudWasRight for what this seems to imply about [[FridgeHorror his plans]] for the Replicant species. |
| 200 | * ProphetEyes: His eyes are clouded over as though he has cataracts. The usual symbolism of this trope is inverted, however, as rather than lacking sight but having some special insight others don't have, Wallace is an utterly delusional narcissist whose physical blindness is an outward signifier of his moral blindness. |
| 201 | * RedRightHand: He is blind and his eyes make him look appropriately eerie. |
| 202 | * RuleOfSymbolism: Let's see... |
| 203 | ** He has a major [[AGodAmI god complex]], considering himself the father of the new Replicant race, and [[LooksLikeJesus looks]] like an [[DarkMessiah evil Jesus]], or possibly Moses. Jesus and Moses came to free slaves and resist empires, while Wallace owns an empire that is [[SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil built on slavery.]] |
| 204 | ** He's blind and has a shaggy beard that makes him somewhat resemble a Biblical or Greek prophet and can [[VisionaryVillain see farther than anyone else]], but he's blind to things like [[LackOfEmpathy compassion and human feeling.]] |
| 205 | ** He's blind but sees through the use of small, floating camera drones that resemble a swarm of insects, which is a pretty good visual summary of how he runs his company: relying on the help of countless artificial servants while not doing any of the work himself. |
| 206 | ** The standard BlindSeer symbolism is that their physical blindness has [[TrueSight opened their vision to the otherwise unseeable truth of the world]]. Wallace, by contrast, has no concern for intangible things like morality and only cares for worldly power, and so disregards this ability entirely in favor of using machines, a symbol of his power in the material world, to restore his physical sight. |
| 207 | ** He has a "newborn" Replicant spawned just so he can kill her. Wallace views himself as a [[AGodAmI Biblical God]], who creates people just so he can kill them. |
| 208 | ** While waxing philosophical about his Replicants' [[spoiler:inability to reproduce]], Wallace [[TakeThatKiss kisses]] the poor Replicant in question and then stabs her with a phallic object. Moreover, while the [[GoryDiscretionShot actual cut]] is obscured, he seems to stab her in the ''womb'', or possibly [[GroinAttack even lower.]] Not to mention how the shot of the blood pouring down her legs seems to evoke [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil rape imagery.]] |
| 209 | ** His name literally means "new man" and sounds like "Neandertal." He's both the progenitor of a new race who seeks to revolutionize society, and little more than a crude savage who has no empathy. |
| 210 | ** For a world that's built on the work and sacrifice of artificial humans, Wallace is ''by far'' the most robotic and inhuman character in either movie, including his own attack dog, [[SoftSpokenSadist Luv]]. |
| 211 | ** For all his grandstanding and hubris, Wallace's arrogance is so extreme that he never even considered that [[spoiler:the Replicant child, Ana Stelline, ''works'' for him [[FailedASpotCheck right under his nose.]]]] He's both literally and figuratively ''blind'' to the truth. |
| 212 | * SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil: Mourns that humanity lost its taste for slaves unless they are engineered, implying he wouldn't care if his disposable workforce were humans or Replicants as long as they are his assets. |
| 213 | * SmugSnake: Wallace views himself as a God-like figure who knows all, but looking at even a few of these tropes shows that at the end of the day he is not only a monster, but grossly incompetent. |
| 214 | * SoftSpokenSadist: His voice never raises above a soft register, whether he is waxing philosophic or threatening ColdBloodedTorture. [[spoiler:He also doesn't miss a beat during his soliloquy when he eviscerates a newborn Replicant with a scalpel.]] |
| 215 | * TakeThatKiss: Plants a rather voracious kiss on the lips of the young Replicant he kills during his soliloquy. It likely inspired Luv to do the same to K during their fight. |
| 216 | * TheUnfought: [[spoiler:He never meets K in the film and never gets in harm's way either. Given that he is not a fighter, it's pretty justified.]] |
| 217 | * VisionaryVillain: His ultimate aim for humanity is to build an interstellar empire instead of the mere nine offworld colonies they have at present. However, to do this would require a vast number of replicants as a disposable labor force, which can only be achieved through breeding as well as manufacturing. |
| 218 | * VillainWithGoodPublicity: His company saved humanity by producing artificial food after the worldwide blackout of 2022 caused massive plant and animal extinctions. As a result, and because he managed to legalize Replicants again in 2036, nobody questions the resumption and expansion of Tyrell's unethical works by his company. |

| 225 | !!!'''Played By:''' Creator/SylviaHoeks |
| 226 | !!!'''Appears In:''' ''Film/BladeRunner2049'' |
| 227 | |
| 228 | ->''"In the face of the fabulous new, your only thought is to kill it? For fear of great change? You can't hold the tide with a broom."'' |
| 229 | |
| 230 | A Nexus-9 Replicant, Niander Wallace's assistant and right-hand woman. |
| 231 | ---- |
| 232 | * AxCrazy: Don't let her calm exterior fool you, when she's on duty, Luv is a violent psychopath who [[{{Sadist}} enjoys causing pain.]] |
| 233 | * BloodFromTheMouth: [[spoiler:After K shoots her in the gut. Being a combat replicant, it's not enough to put her down]]. |
| 234 | * BondVillainStupidity: [[spoiler:She could have easily killed K when she ambushed him and Deckard but instead chooses to leave him to die. This gives him a chance to kill her later]]. |
| 235 | * ContrastingSequelAntagonist: Like Wallace, she strongly contrasts Roy Batty; physical differences aside (Roy was a blond man, Luv is a dark-haired woman), Roy was very much his own man, [[spoiler:even killing his own creator]], while Luv is Wallace's [[UndyingLoyalty loyal]] [[TheDragon Dragon]]. She also lacks Roy's philosophical nature and emotional attachments, proving to be more of a blunt instrument and sadistic killing machine. |
| 236 | * ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Compare how she dresses in [[LightIsNotGood blinding]] white at the start of the film to how her costume starts incorporating more and more [[DarkIsEvil greys and blacks]] as the film progresses and she gets more unhinged. |
| 237 | * DarkActionGirl: She qualifies as this, being Wallace's enforcer. |
| 238 | * DeadpanSnarker: She gradually starts developing into this as the movie unfolds. |
| 239 | * {{Deuteragonist}}: A possibility given we aren’t given Luv’s true perspective. We have a distorted point of view from K that Luv is psychotic and loyal to Wallace, but from Luv's possible perspective, K is a Blade Runner who murders her own kind and has been assigned to kill the child of Rachel and Deckard. She is also clearly disturbed by Wallace's actions and like K has the ability to lie unlike most of the other Replicants. It is possible that she is trying to save the child from both Wallace and K, and sees herself as the Messiah for the Replicants. |
| 240 | * DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Her dedication to Wallace - despite the fact that she ends up doing things in service of him that only serve to emotionally compromise her - is not too dissimilar to that of an abusive relationship, which is particularly evident when considering she heavily desires to be wanted by someone. |
| 241 | * TheDragon: To Wallace. He even calls her his best Angel. |
| 242 | * DragonInChief: Even though Niander Wallace is nominally the BigBad, he doesn't do anything to actively antagonize the main heroes, and in fact rarely leaves his building. The real threat of the movie is Luv, who actively confronts the heroes and is the one that K fights [[spoiler:and kills]] in the climax. |
| 243 | * EmotionalBruiser: In a very unsettling manner. She sheds a tear almost every time she kills someone, but it doesn't stop her from being ''fanatically'' dedicated to her duty. |
| 244 | * EmotionlessGirl: Subverted. Wallace designed the Nexus-9 Replicants to be completely emotionless and subservient, but while Luv maintains a dispassionate appearance, she can get quite emotional really quickly to the point of near irrationality. |
| 245 | * FatalFlaw: Pride. She's desperate to prove herself as superior [[spoiler:to the point she leaves Joe on the brink of death twice just to make sure he understands she is 'the best', and it ends up getting her killed.]] |
| 246 | * FauxAffablyEvil: She jokes around with her victims, but it only serves to underline her ruthlessness as she tortures and kills them. |
| 247 | * FluffyTheTerrible: A ruthless, dangerous DarkActionGirl named "Luv." |
| 248 | * {{Foil}}: To Rachael. Both of them start as morally ambiguous characters, are considered the best creations of their makers, express deeper emotions than Replicants should, and become increasingly conflicted about the agenda of said makers. Additionally, both women feel attraction to the main heroes and interfere in crucial moments to save their lives from imminent danger. Even their appearances are a bit similar. Then again, Rachael is ultimately proved to be a kind-hearted character, develops true free will, genuinely falls in love with Deckard [[spoiler:and has a child with him]]. Luv, on the other hand, never manages to overcome her programming and proves to be little more than a brutal killing machine and Wallace's top henchwoman. Her "feelings" toward K are VillainousCrush at best and she is ready to kill him on spot just to prove she is "better," to say nothing of her malicious and cruel act [[spoiler:to destroy Joi’s emitter]], which turns her into a [[ItsPersonalWithTheDragon personal enemy]] of K. But the most tragic difference between them relates to their makers: Tyrell clearly holds Rachael in high esteem for what she is, while Wallace may call Luv his "best Angel" but for all her efforts she is nothing more than a useful instrument for him, which could be easily [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness replaced]] when he [[spoiler:unlocks the secret to create Replicants that can have children]]. |
| 249 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: Introduced as a non-action, administrative-type (not unlike Rachael to Tyrell in the original film), Luv nonetheless has to manually move a ''very'' large and heavy industrial door sealing the old archives when the hydraulics seize up. This alludes to her physical capabilities as a Nexus-9 that will be showcased later in the film. |
| 250 | ** She tells Joshi [[spoiler:before killing her]] that "you can't hold the tide back with a broom." [[spoiler:Luv dies when K drowns her in the incoming tide.]] |
| 251 | * GrewBeyondTheirProgramming: A possible version; Luv mentions that people assume the Nexus-9 CannotTellALie, [[spoiler:but Luv states she's going to tell her boss that she killed Joshi in self-defense, right before she stabs the unarmed woman to death]]. |
| 252 | ** Her gut reaction to Wallace killing a newly "born" replicant is to start crying. Her reaction to that is [[MyEyesAreLeaking total confusion]]. |
| 253 | ** She also portrays a rare negative example of this trope: as a Replicant assassin, she ''should'' be a totally emotionless [[PragmaticVillainy logic-driven enforcer]], but displays a disturbing strain of sadistic glee and has a habit of hurting people [[KickTheDog just to be cruel.]] |
| 254 | * HairTriggerTemper: Although she seems calm, she's ''very'' prone to fighting and seems to hide her temper behind a stoic facade. |
| 255 | * TheHeavy: She has more screentime than Niander Wallace, tracks K down up to [[spoiler:Deckard's hideout and fights K to the death at the end.]] |
| 256 | * HeroKiller: As the central antagonistic force Luv becomes a very powerful enemy past the halfway point and becomes a very clear threat to the heroes. Through the film she [[spoiler:kills Joshi, Joi, and may have even killed K]]. |
| 257 | * HypocriticalHumor: In a very ''non''-humorous fashion. She tells [[spoiler:Joshi]] that Replicants never lie, before ''[[ImmediateSelfContradiction immediately]]'' stating that she'll tell Wallace that she had to kill [[spoiler:Joshi]] in self-defense. |
| 258 | * IJustWantToBeLoved: A parallel to K's IJustWantToBeSpecial arc. Her loyalty to Wallace is in part motivated by her wanting to be desired, and it's also bolstered by how Wallace treats Luv differently than how Replicants usually are treated, specifically by naming her and also referring to her as his "angel." It's even suggested that she was looking for some kind of similar acknowledgment from K in this regard, as their initial interaction has her admitting that it feels nice to be asked questions, though K promptly rejects what seems to be an earnest advance on her end and leaves her cold (though in a comeuppance that enforces the trope she eventually steals a TakeThatKiss from him in their final encounter). A lot of this is what most likely drives her GrewBeyondTheirProgramming moments, and what causes her to cry during moments where she forces herself to act out of character. |
| 259 | * InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Exhibits many shades of this throughout the film, most notably in her final confrontation with K, where she gloats about being "the best one." |
| 260 | * IronicName: Her name sounds right like "love," but she is not exactly a lovely person. |
| 261 | * ItsPersonalWithTheDragon: Earns special enmity from K after she [[spoiler:sadistically crushes Joi's emitter, thus killing her for good, for no real reason except to spite him]]. |
| 262 | * MeaningfulName: She exists only to love and obey Niander. Also, "love" means "zero" in certain games. She's nothing but a number to her master. |
| 263 | * MyEyesAreLeaking: When Wallace kills the new replicant Luv starts to cry and seems completely surprised that she could [[NotSoStoic feel sadness]]. |
| 264 | * KickChick: Uses a lot of acrobatic high kicks in her fight scenes, which contrasts heavily with K's sloppier, more brutish fighting style. |
| 265 | * KickTheDog: She [[spoiler:crushes Joi's emitter, effectively killing her]], for no real reason other than pure cruelty. |
| 266 | * KillItWithWater: How she [[spoiler:goes out, courtesy of K drowning her in their climatic last fight]]. |
| 267 | * MadeOfIron: Being a Replicant, she can take quite a beating. |
| 268 | * MutualKill: Her final fight [[spoiler:with K ends with him drowning her, but she also mortally wounds him enough to leave him bleeding until he succumbs at the end of the film]]. |
| 269 | * NonIndicativeName: The name "Luv" might give the impression that she's in some way loving. She really isn't. |
| 270 | * NotSoStoic: She tries to remain composed, especially around Wallace, but she silently cries in their first scene. By the halfway point of the movie her temperamental persona slips. |
| 271 | * NumberTwo: She's Wallace's main henchwoman. |
| 272 | * RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: She starts off as a woman in white, but eventually adds black and red to her outfit. |
| 273 | * RoboticPsychopath: More than capable of putting up the urbane replicant front, while in reality is a sadistic murderer. |
| 274 | * {{Sadist}}: Luv [[spoiler: destroyed/killed Joi for no other reason than to be cruel to K]]. |
| 275 | * SinisterSwitchblade: Aside from her gun, she uses a retractable switchblade. |
| 276 | * SmugSnake: She's very confident in her abilities. |
| 277 | * SoftSpokenSadist: She's composed while committing gruesome acts and [[spoiler:calmly tells Lieutenant Joshi that she's going to kill her.]] |
| 278 | * TragicVillain: All things considered, she is this. Luv clearly does not enjoy some of Wallace's actions or her own on his behalf, as she is seen crying after [[spoiler:murdering Joshi]] and watching her creator kills another Replicant, but is compelled to go along with it anyway due to her programming. Additionally, she is forced to advance the plans of Wallace [[spoiler:to create Replicants that are capable of having children]], which, if successful, will ultimately render her [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness obsolete]] to him. |
| 279 | * TrappedInVillainy: She is implied to not enjoy doing at least some of Wallace's dirty work, as she is seen crying after committing a murder and watching Wallace kill another Replicant. However, [[ButThouMust her programming compels her]] to obey his every command. |
| 280 | * UndyingLoyalty: Wallace conceived her Replicant line to be completely subservient. |
| 281 | ** It’s possible this trope is subverted since Luv is clearly terrified of Wallace and can lie unlike most other Replicants. She may see K as a killer of their own kind and could be trying to find the child to save it from both Wallace and K. |
| 282 | * VillainBall: Actually manages to defeat and mortally wound [[spoiler:K, but she doesn't bother to finish him off, opting to let him bleed out instead. This allows K to come back for round 2 and kill her with what's left of his strength. To her credit, she is on a tight schedule since her prisoner is about to drown, plus she harbors feelings for K and might have intentionally allowed him to spend his last moments in peace.]] |
| 283 | * VillainousCheekbones: A female example. |
| 284 | * VillainousCrush: Hinted at toward K, given her comments about him and her TakeThatKiss to him near the end. |
| 285 | * VillainousRescue: Luv saves K's life by using a remote-controlled drone to blast the scavengers who attack him in the giant dump yard, to ensure he finds important clues to lead her to what Wallace wants. |
| 286 | * VillainRespect: Despite the frustration it obviously caused her, she seems to have at least some of this for Joshi after she refuses to cave to Luv's threats - at least enough to call her "Madame" before gutting her with a knife. [[SubvertedTrope Then again, she handles the corpse completely carelessly, so the curtsy may have been sarcastic.]] |
| 287 | * WaifFu: Her combat style employs a lot of acrobatics and power blows, often exceeding what she should be capable of, even as a Replicant. [[spoiler:K still manages to overpower her in the end, simply by not giving her any room to perform her regular routine]]. |
| 288 | * WeakButSkilled: Has the clear edge on K when it comes to fighting technique and knife handling, but she is completely outclassed when going to-to-toe with him in terms of conventional strength. |

| 300 | * AGlassInTheHand: He shatters a glass to take a shard to mutilate himself, then kill himself, all on Wallace's order. |

Wallace demonstrates that the Nexus-9 are completely subservient compared to the previous models by ordering this Replicant (who follows his orders implicitly) to make a choice — kill Wallace or kill himself. The Replicant grabs a shard of glass, and when Wallace tells him to make a choice ("Do this now."), slashes his own throat without hesitation. |
