Gaff
Movie/Game
Movie
Actor Edward James Olmos played the role of Gaff in the movie Blade Runner. The character is known for his origami
creations. Throughout the film Gaff trails Deckard. Gaff looks as if he's studying Deckard at times...almost testing him.
Gaff is another blade runner. He seems to know what Deckard is going to do before he does it, leaving as clues an origami
chicken, an anatomically correct origami man, and later an origami unicorn. Do Gaff’s actions prove that Deckard is
also a replicant, as some would say? That’s up for debate, but Gaff is an inarguably haunting character despite the
brevity of his lines.
Game
You'll come
across Gaff throughout the game. During a conversation with Ray he may provide you with some important clues. He may leave
Ray an origami of his own.
The actor doing the voice of Gaff is Victor Gardell
Speculation:
The Number 3.
Three origami creations. Along with the Christain themes throughout Blade Runner, three represents
The Holy Trinity in Christian doctrine (or trinity in general), is God both a single entity and three entities, the Father,
the Son and the Spirit.
Bad luck is often said to "come in threes".
The phrase "Third time's a charm" usually
means the third time a person attempts something, they will succeed.
Fairy Tales have a prominent pattern in the number
Three (i.e. 3 bears, 3 pigs, 3 Billy goats gruff, 3 notes to the Pied Piper, 3 kittens, Cinderella and her 2 sisters, 3 wishes,
3 characters, 3 tasks to be performed, travel to the third bend in the road, 3 blind mice, etc.). William Shakespeare's,
Macbeth, the number three emerges most frequently, (The Three Witches, Macbeth approaches the witches and asks three questions,
The witches tell Macbeth three predictions, etc.). The three Norns (Urd {That which has become}, Verdandi {That which
is becoming} and Skuld {That which shall come} ).
What do Gaff's origami figures mean?
Chicken- Insinuating that Deckard lacks courage to accept the job, willingly. It
could be viewed as an unconsious motivator for Deckard to take the job.
Stick Man- Suggesting Deckard may let his feelings for Rachael get in the way of the
investigation.
