In this spring of self-isolation, it’s as great a time as ever to revisit story-based games like Detroit: Become Human (DBH). With the December 2019 PC release, those with no PlayStation 4 can now also enjoy this incredibly immersive near-future science fiction tale of androids.

DBH has a whole host of incredible characters, many modeled by real-life actors to make them look even more believable. One of the main side characters of Markus’ storyline in particular is an android named North, who has a chance of becoming his love interest. Although a mysterious figure, there’s a lot to know about North and the making of her character.

10 She Could Be The Leader Of Jericho

During most of the game, Markus seems destined to be the leader and the main figure of Jericho. However, since any and all of the characters can possibly meet a bad ending by dying rather suddenly, Markus’ position as the leader of Jericho isn’t the be-all end-all of the game.

In fact, if Markus is exiled from Jericho for losing the support of his fellow androids or if he dies before reaching the end, North will take over where he left off in his footsteps. Unfortunately, this means that players won’t have as much control over the future of Jericho.

9 She May Have Had A Future With Markus

In many of the playthroughs, it’s very probable and easy for Markus and North to become an item. After growing closer, they will eventually open up to each other, with North in particular revealing to him the darker parts of her past which she initially refused to talk about.

Some earlier concept art even depicted the two of them living in their own apartment, presumably after the game was over and a happy ending had been reached. Both North and Markus would have had a baby by then, too, but sadly this was removed from the game.

8 She Wasn’t North Originally

Many of the early concept art pieces of North look quite different from what she ended up looking like. Originally, she had a much tougher look, which could easily be something out of Cyberpunk 2077. However, just like her model was eventually changed, her name was changed too.

According to Romain Jouandeau, North’s original name was meant to be Riley, which would have definitely fit her original concept art. However, most likely as her concept changed, her name was changed as well.

7 Romance Behind The Scenes

Within the game, North and Markus have a pretty undeniable connection as they start working together for the better of androids. What many may have not figured out though is that both Jesse Williams, Markus’ actor, and Minka Kelly, North’s actor, actually started a relationship of their own.

During a few of the months that the two actors were working on Detroit: Become Human, Jesse Williams and Minka Kelly grew increasingly closer. Throughout 2017-2018, the two of them were seen together, until they reportedly broke up.

6 The Traci Android

The North character design isn’t actually a unique one, which is quite normal for any android in the Detroit universe. Even Kara and Connor come face to face with copies of themselves throughout the story. North’s design, however, the WR400 model, is only designed for one dark purpose.

The model is also known as the Traci android, which is seen having numerous different appearances during the time Connor and Hank enter Eden Club to investigate a deviant. There’s also a male version of this model of android on the market.

5 She’s The Most Aggressive

Many of the androids in Jericho have a somewhat defeatist attitude when Markus first arrives. Not all of them view humans with loathing, either, and would much prefer a peaceful path towards their own freedom in Detroit.

North, however, is among the most extreme members of Jericho. She believes that humans will never think of androids differently and that they’re a lost cause. Due to this, she’ll often lean towards violent choices rather than taking the diplomatic way out.

4 Minka Kelly’s Android Experience

What’s interesting about North’s actor Minka Kelly, is that she’s actually already played a part in a closely themed science fiction story. Specifically, she played a sentient android in a near futuristic world of the TV series Almost Human, specialized in criminal behavior.

Some other similar themes Almost Human has to DBH is that Karl Urban’s character is very close to Hank’s, a troubled police officer with a hatred for synthetic life. Despite this, he’s paired up with an android partner, similarly to how Hank is paired up with Connor.

3 She Doesn’t Trust Anyone

Although those within Jericho share a special bond with each other due to having reached sentience and found the hiding place where all deviants go, it’s not always all love and trust — at least not in North’s mind. North doesn’t in fact trust easily, and that goes even for those who are members of Jericho.

This is proven by how she’s ready to shoot Simon if he’s injured at the roof of the broadcast station, to prevent humans from interrogating him and finding out more about Jericho. Moreover, when the group infiltrates CyberLife’s warehouse for supplies, she’s against recruiting John because she considers him as an ally to humans.

2 She Has Over Ten Different Deaths

Much like all the other characters in the game, North can actually meet an unfortunate end if she’s not protected through the player’s choices. Although she’s relatively easy to keep alive, at least until Crossroads, if the player fails QTEs she’ll definitely be at a risk.

Some of the worst ways she can die is if at the very end Markus takes Perkins’ deal and leads a demonstration instead. It’s better in this case for Markus to refuse the deal, and ensure that the player can complete all the QTEs successfully to save every android.

1 She Has A Very Dark Past

North’s past begins as a mystery, but as the story progresses, we find out more and more about her. Just as her model implies, she used to work at Eden Club as an android, and would occasionally even do house calls. This is how she ends up committing her first kill on a human, by strangling her client upon growing tired of her life in servitude.

After all the abuse she was put through, she’s reluctant to talk about her past. It’s also the main reason why she considers human beings to be evil creatures who will never have any compassion for her.
