Kazan (character)

Kazan is a character in the 1997 Canadian sci-fi/horror movie Cube, directed by Vincenzo Natali. An autistic savant, he at first serves only to slow down and endanger the other characters in their attempts to escape the cubic prison they are trapped in, but when it is discovered he can almost instantly perform prime factorization, which is required for solving the prison's mathematical code, he becomes integral to their escape. He is the only person who escapes; most of the others are killed by the mad cop Quentin, who then gets killed himself, just as they are about to escape. Kazan was played by Andrew Miller.
