Roy Batty is the leader of the renegade Nexus-6 replicants and the main antagonist of the film Blade Runner.  He is highly intelligent, fast and skilled at combat and yet still learning how to deal with emotions. He and five other replicants come to Earth hoping to find a way to lengthen their lifespan. After learning from Tyrell, creator of the replicants, that his life cannot be extended, Batty kills Tyrell out of rage… A dying Roy tells Rick Deckard, a “blade runner”,  about the things he has seen and how the memories will be “lost in time, like tears in rain”. He smiles, saying, “Time… to die”.
