Sorry I’ve never read the books nor the Wikipedia page so I have no idea about half of these terms/names and was just going by what I picked up from the show only. Not saying you’re wrong or anything, but this is what I pieced together from the show:


Kovacs was one of the “good guys” being trained since he was a kid for whatever reason. I keep saying “good guys” in quotes because honestly I have no idea what that group was called, but I think it was the same group of people that killed him at the beginning of the series. The dudes in the full body armor. They seemed like they were the military/enforcement arm of the recognized world government(s), thus I call them the “good guys.”

During the training scene in that forest I was under the impression that Kovacs revealed that he was one of those good guys, that opposed the group of terrorists/rebels that Kovacs ended up joining. He got lucky in that he wasn’t a VIP and didn’t get himself assassinated and sometime later he changed sides and joined in with the terrorists/rebels.

I have no idea what the terrorists/rebels are all about so I have no idea if if they are suppose to be good guys, like the Rebellion in Star Wars, or if they really are just terrorists.


If I’m wrong about that can someone point out where and why.
