Koba

Koba is a scar-faced bonobo who has spent most of his life in laboratories and holds a grudge against humans in Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Koba is portrayed by Christopher Gordon inRise and Toby Kebbell in Dawn.

Koba was tested with the ALZ-113 drug by Will Rodman. Koba has a strong hatred of humans because he only has memories of them experimenting on him. When Caesar freed all of the apes at the lab including Koba, Koba respected Caesar for freeing him. When Buck died at the Golden Gate Bridge, Caesar allowed Koba to kill Steven Jacobs. Koba killed Steven Jacobs by pushing him off the bridge into the water. While Will was looking for Caesar in the Muir Woods, Koba attacked him and was about to kill him. Instead, Caesar stopped Koba from killing Will, which left Koba very angry. Koba returns in the Dawn of the Planet of the Apes as the main antagonist.
