Ubik's appearance draws inspiration from the Cenobite characters in Hellraiser. As a member of the Godhand, he remains deliberately enigmatic and hard to pin down. He speaks in the raspy voice of an elderly man, and alongside Conrad, he serves a crucial function in the story: giving Griffith visions of his own past. This revelation is what allows Griffith to commit to his catastrophic sacrifice of the Hawks with full conviction and without hesitation.
