In the film, the bounty hunters are replaced by special police personnel called "Blade Runners", and the androids are called "replicants", terms not used in the original novel. The novel depicts Deckard as an obsequious and officious underling who is human and has a wife, but because of the many versions of the film and the script, the backstory of the movie version of Deckard becomes unclear. Whether Deckard is a <a href="/wiki/Themes_in_Blade_Runner#Deckard:_human_or_replicant?" title="Themes in Blade Runner">human or replicant</a> and therefore even has a past is left ambiguous. The voice-over in the theatrical release indicates Deckard is divorced, as it mentions an ex-wife. However, the voice-over has been removed from subsequent versions and so this detail is not mentioned.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

Prior to the events of the film, Deckard's replicant lover Rachael became pregnant with his child, but died in childbirth. Deckard was forced to leave the child, a girl, with a replicant freedom movement and scrambled the child's birth records to protect her before disappearing. The pursuit of the child by different groups is the main driving force of the plot. At the end of the film, Deckard finally meets his daughter Ana Stelline, a scientist who designs memories for replicants through the help of a Nexus-9 Replicant, KD6-3.7. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Analysis">Analysis</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Rick_Deckard&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Analysis"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>According to M.
