Ceasar |
Caesar
the leader of the great
Ape rebellion in the previous movie, leads a
band of humans and apes. His aim is to create
a society where apes and humans can live in
peace. He still somehow believes Apes are
superior to men in spite of the fact he makes a
human a teacher for apes and humans alike. His
son is killed by Gorilla Aldo and Caesar has
to lead his people against human adversaries
while dealing with a Gorilla uprising for
power within. |

Lisa |
Lisa is
Caesar's wife which he
meets in Conquest of the Planet of the Apes.
Lisa serves as a calming voice of reason in Caesar's
life. Her upbeat smile and care for
her son Cornelius are a constant source of
reassurance to Caesar who often doubts his own
leadership abilities. |
|
Cornelius |
Caesar's
son Cornelius, is an
idealist that doesn't realize how far the
gorillas will go to seize power. Gorilla
General Aldo plans to seize weapons and young Caesar
overhears everything and is hunted into
a tree until he finally falls and dies.
Cornelius was the first ape ever to be killed
by another ape. |

Virgil |
Virgil is the wisest Ape in
Battle for the Planet of the Apes. He
contemplates time travel and leads a scientific
investigation group into an area of radiation
with Caesar, and human McDonald. Virgil
attempts to alert Cesar of the powers that
Gorilla Aldo is asserting but Cesar worries
about the life of his own son at the time.
Virgil uses reason and logic to restore Caesar's
confidence in the ideal of a society
where man and Ape live together in peace. |

MacDonald |
MacDonald is the brother of the
other MacDonald from the previous film who was
an assistant to human Governor Breck who ran
ape central. MacDonald speaks of a need for
equality between apes and men and constantly
runs to Caesar whenever the Gorillas threaten
to do something bad to humans. |
|
Aldo |
General Aldo the first Ape ever
to say no to humans becomes the most power
hungry ape in the entire Apes saga. Aldo kills
leader Caesar's son when the son overhears his
plans for revolt against Caesar. Aldo gives a
great chant entailing how "Guns are
Power, We Need Guns" to his fellow
gorillas. Armed with that motivation Aldo's
gorillas seize control of the weapon's arsenal's
of their community and use the
weapons to imprison humans and seize control
before humans attack. Aldo is killed by Caesar
for his treachery. |

Storyteller |
The Storyteller is the Ape that
tells the story of Battle for the Planet of
the Apes from a point far in the future. He
tells of Caesar's struggles and how the future
for Apes and Humans is not set. With a voice
that resonates the power of the Ape story the
storyteller ends his tale in the future in a
world where a stature of Cesar and his ideals
are still a goal to reach for. |

Mutated Human |
Mutated by Radiation, humans
hide in a complex far from the Apes. Their
leader was an assistant to Governor Breck who commanded
Ape Central during the previous
movie. The humans seem bent on eradicating the
Apes and bringing them down to the level of
life and misery that their member ranks must
endure daily. |
