HK-47 debuted in BioWare's 2003 role playing game Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic, where his darkly comic, overly literal speech quickly made him a fan favorite. Voiced with deadpan menace, the hunter killer droid stood out among earnest Jedi and familiar aliens like Chewbacca for treating murder as customer service. Clips of his lines spread through forums, machinima and later soundboards as players quoted his insults toward organic meatbags. This dictionary complaint survives because it sums up his personality in seconds: loyal, literal and deeply annoyed by non lethal tasks.
