9 Reasons why Connor is r A 9.
(Note: My fan theories consider the "Good Ending" where all characters live as cannon.
I may consider other playthroughs in order to establish any individual character's behaviors and better understand thier motivations.)
That being said: here we go....
1) Connor is the only main character to be able to die and come back.
A kind of reincarnation, a rebirth, where his memories are passed on to the next Connor, a nod to Buddhism, this also follows in line with the themes throughout the game.
2) If you play your cards right Carlos Ortiz's Android
Will tell you "The truth is inside".
This not only refers to deviancy, but I believe a direct conversation that the android has with Connor possibly knowing he is r A 9.
3) Connor is the only character with the software instability box that with rising instability, starts to display the letters
4) Connor can lie and show emotions like empathy as early as the hostage chapter.
He can also use guns, things only an android that is already deviant should be able to do.
5) If r A 9 is the origin as Kamski says.
Meaning the first android to become a deviant.
It's reasonable to assume that CyberLife
built Connor off of that first android's code.
A kind of vampire hunting other vampires if you will.
Kamski even says: "CyberLife's last chance to save humanity is itself a deviant."
6) Connor can convert and wake up one android that in turn can convert others, turning into thousands within minutes.
Markus can only convert three at a time, as seen in
If Connor is r A 9, it would mean that he is the source code from which all other deviants came from.
With Kamski as the creator, this would made Connor the son of the creator.
Again following the themes of the game.
7) We know that at some point Kamski left
He disagreed with his shareholders over strategy.
It is quite possible that he wanted androids to become more human like, and the shareholders were fearful of this and were threatening to back out, so all the funding would be lost.
he wanted a new intelligent life form.
So there was a board meeting and Kamski was voted out.
He resigns but not by choice.
The androids in production already have the "free will code" Aka r A 9.
With millions in households already, CyberLife doesn't know how far spread or deep the error goes.
8) Unable to find Kamski's code and isolate it to rectify the situation, they build Connor with safe walls to keep him on a tight leash.
Amanda serves as that kind of leash program to keep him in line with they're goal.
Another nod to Connor and dog references.
9) If a sequel is made it would make the most sense.
Connor is one of the most flushed out characters of the game, he is also the one that goes through the most evolvement.
A sequel could not only explore his origins and in turn r A 9.
But the newly reinvented Android City.
While also possibly having a grown up Emma starting a war against the machines.
Wanting to take the city back, she starts her own rebellion.
