Movie
Description
Nike is a Second Generation Bioroid designed without negative emotions like anger or hatred. She serves as Chief of Staff to Prime Minister Athena Areios and commands the ESWAT counter-terrorism unit in Olympus. Her operational efficiency often presents as a reserved or cold demeanor, consistent with her Bioroid nature.
In earlier media like the 1988 OVA and 2004 film, Nike appears as Athena's assistant. Her responsibilities expand significantly during *Appleseed: Ex Machina*. She assigns Deunan Knute a new partner, Tereus—a combat Bioroid cloned from Briareos' DNA—citing Briareos' physical compatibility with the Hecatonchires system. Nike oversees security for a critical global peace conference discussing merging international satellite networks under Olympus' control. When terrorists attack the conference hall, she recommends suspension and evacuation, though Athena overrules this. Nike later coordinates the investigation into Connexus mind-control devices hijacking citizens via satellite signals. After ESWAT neutralizes the threat, she observes humanity's self-destructive tendencies, remarking that humans "seek to yearn for [their] own destruction." Athena counters by emphasizing humanity's resilience, to which Nike implicitly aligns through continued service. Her interactions include formally receiving Yoshino, an emissary from Poseidon corporation, to address potential links between Poseidon technology and recent cyborg-led terrorist attacks.
In *Appleseed XIII*, Nike maintains her advisory role to Athena, consistent with her established position. The Seven Elders maintain her emotional regulation, ensuring her actions prioritize the Bioroid mission of preserving human civilization. No significant personal evolution or background beyond her operational functions is documented across the franchise.
