Desty Nova

Desty Nova is a rogue scientist in the field of cybernetics and the main antagonist of Battle Angel Alita. He is an eccentric and highly intelligent scientist responsible for many of the other foes that Alita faces, all in pursuit of his goal to unlock the components of karma, calling his field of research "Karmatron dynamics".

Nova's heinous and inhumane experiments led to him being cast out from society. He is the most recurring foe of Alita, though occasionally appears as an ally to her as well.
