User blog:DragonDude83/PE Proposal: Vector (Alita: Battle Angel)

Seeing that Nova (Alita: Battle Angel) is on the Pure Evil category, let’s see what you guys have to say about his second in command: Vector (Alita).

Who is Vector, and What Has He Done?
Vector is Nova’s second in command, the head of the factory in Iron City, and a powerful crime lord, with quite the bodycount from many of his henchmen under his payroll. He’s also in charge of the Motorball games, a vicious blood sport where cyborgs compete in intense races to please the masses and earn loads of cash, ripping each other apart and slaughtering each other, with many casualties. At night, he has his raider thugs stalk the streets of Iron City to assault and dismember unsuspecting cyborgs for their body parts so he can augment the players of Motorball to let them get even more lethal and dangerous. Not all cyborgs survive the assaults. One was unfortunate enough to look at Vector’s face, and Vector took out a blowtorch to torture and kill him.

It’s been seen that Alita’s love interest, Hugo, is one of Vector’s goons, and Vector keeps him around with a lie that if he raises enough money, he will be sent to Zalem, and used him to get Alita into his clutches, which Nova wants. After a number of failed attempts to kill Alita, Vector has her inducted into a rigged Motorball game to try to kill her with a bounty on her head to his goons. Eventually, Hugo has second thoughts about what he’s been doing. Vector’s partner in the factory, Dr. Chiren, also has second thoughts. She says she wants to go to Zalem, so Vector allows her to go...

After Alita makes it to the top of the factory, and makes quick work of Grewishka, Vector reveals that he is "fulfilling his promise" to Chiren to send her to Zalem; having her brain and organs extracted, indicated to still be aware, to be sent up to Zalem for Nova's experiments. The same fate that befalls everyone he sends up to Zalem for Nova, implicitly what he had in mind for Hugo. Nova possesses Vector to talk to Alita, and Alita breaks that bond by impaling Vector, killing him.

Mitigating Factors
None at all. It’s true that all his orders come through Nova, but Vector really stands out by getting his hands as dirty as can, and gets a calm pleasure out of it. The Motorball games, dismembering cyborgs, killing one with a blowtorch, that’s all on him. He is completely bereft of any redeeming qualities from his manga counterpart, even his fondness for Hugo was just out of convenience, implying that he meant to have him sent to Zalem harvested for organs still alive and aware.

Final Verdict
Yes. He easily stands out just as much as Nova.
