She is a highly skilled cybernetic human employed as the leader of Public Security Section 9, a fictional intelligence department. Motoko is renowned for her combat skills, leadership qualities, and her philosophical insight into the nature of identity and consciousness. Her character often explores the line between humanity and technology, as her body is entirely cybernetic, leaving only her 'ghost', or consciousness, as the human element.
