Only he's not. He's a puppet, a stooge, inauthentic.
The good guys in Blade Runner are the replicants - created, artificial, self-determining, self-actualising, aware of their self-worth, authentic. They fight for their freedom against all comers.
This is at least partially because of the FBI’s campaign of sabotage against 20th-century Black leaders, which was so ruthlessly effective that it remains near-impossible to separate the truth from deliberate distortions, or sort these threads into any kind of moral coherence.
