Todd Williams

Todd Williams, or simply Todd, is the main antagonist of Kara's story in the 2018 interactive thriller video game Detroit: Become Human. He is the extremely abusive father of a young child named Alice, and one day he buys the android Kara. However, after seeing the abuse, Kara decided to fight back, take Kara, and escape the abusive household.

He was portrayed by Dominic Gould.

Early Life
Nothing is known about Todd's childhood, although it could be presumed that his parents may have been somewhat abusive to him. Todd was once a successful taxi driver and family man, but his life took a turn to the worse in his 30's. Todd's wife left him and his daughter died, which lead into him becoming depressed. Todd's depression and loneliness consumed him, causing him to deal the highly addictive drug Red Ice, being arrested multiple times. He eventually started taking it himself, leading him into becoming more aggressive, and also bought the android Alice, before also buying Kara.

Detroit: Become Human'
Having already destroyed Kara multiple times before the game even begins, Kara was repaired, but lost her memory. She returns to Todd, and he strictly tells Kara to clean the house, already having a seemingly angry personality. While she's cleaning, Todd will suddenly yell at Kara while watching an ice hockey game to give him a beer. He starts smoking a bunch of red ice, and if the player makes it so that Kara sees Todd's red ice, he will viciously push her and tell her not to "touch his stuff".

Todd's first possible death happens in chapter two, "Stormy Night". Todd will throw a sudden temper tantrum on Alice, and tell her that everything is her fault. Most playthrough's leave Todd alive, and causes him to apologize, but still trying to stop Kara and Alice from escaping. However, it is possible to kill Todd in this chapter, as Kara finds a gun in one of Todd's shelves, which she may use in self-defense. The opposite can happen as well; Todd can kill both Alice or Kara depending on the player's choices, although this is extremely uncommon among players.

If Todd doesn't die, he has multiple cameos throughout the game. One such example is when he shows up in Connor's story, the chapter "Waiting for Hank...", where he tells the police station about Kara attacking him, wanting to get her arrested. Despite being Connor's story, Connor himself cannot actually interact with Todd. He reappears in "On the Run", where he is interviewed on a television news channel. He tells them that Kara attacked him "for no reason" and about Alice disappearing, overall stating that he dislikes how the evolution of androids is going.

In his final appearance, "Battle for Detroit", if he isn't killed in "Stormy Night", Todd will always end up alive, no matter the choice. If Kara doesn't find the pictures of Todd's old family, Todd will tell the U.S. Soldiers that Kara is an android, which will cause them to execute her. If Luther is still alive, he will protect Kara and Alice from the soldiers. However, if Kara sees the pictures of Todd and his family in "Stormy Night", she will tell him about his backstory, which will make him emotional, and he will hug and apologize to Alice. If this happens, Todd will leave the androids alone and will wish them good luck.
