Highland Battler, also known as Angus MacLeod, is a character from the science fiction/fantasy series, Other, by Karen Kincy. He is a genetically engineered warrior created by the enigmatic organization known as the Directorate.

Battler's genetic enhancements grant him superhuman strength, speed, and resilience. His primary purpose is to serve as a protector and enforcer for the Directorate, often tasked with dangerous missions and the apprehension or elimination of rogue agents and threats to the organization's secrecy.

Originally designed as a ruthless and obedient weapon, Battler's experiences and interactions with other characters throughout the series lead him to develop a sense of morality and question the Directorate's methods. He grapples with his pre-programmed nature and his growing desire for autonomy and freedom. His character arc involves a struggle to define his own identity and choose his own destiny, leading him to eventually rebel against the Directorate that created him.
