<title>Re:Who&apos;s Who - Your Guide to the Matrix Characters!</title>
<description>8 Agent Gray &lt;p&gt;Gray takes over as the leading Agent as soon as the Matrix is rebooted. He serves as a Controller for Machine-affiliated redpill operatives in &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Matrix_Online&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;The Matrix Online&lt;/a&gt;. He is voiced by &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Patrick_Lowrie&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;John Patrick Lowrie&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gray is one of several Agents trapped in the Matrix during the infestation known as Smith. His program is overwritten with new code, executing instructions which conflict with his primary architecture. When Smith is defeated and Smith&apos;s program is withdrawn from the system, Gray is freed, but his ordeal is not yet over.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Machine Civilization is run by cautious protocols, and there is still some chance that the Smith code has found a place to shelter within the system, or within an &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residual_self_image&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;RSI&lt;/a&gt;. Agents that have been exposed to Smith are quarantined within the Matrix during the reset - something that is usually never done. Bluepills have their connections to the system attenuated so they never notice the event, and Exiles can seek shelter in a construct, but Agents have no such recourse. Those trapped in the system during the reset are literally turned inside out as their code is deconstructed and recompiled with a vicious error-checking routine.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Even afterward, he is not allowed to return to the Source, instead relegated to a buffer system created during the reboot - a gateway construct which acts as a Machine analog to the Merovingian&apos;s Mobil Avenue Station. In some ways he is almost an Exile, but for the fact that he believes he will eventually be able to return to the Source.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Description &amp;amp; Style: Due to his current situation, Agent Gray is selected to act as recruiter and Controller for human beings that the Machines believe can assist them in controlling the Matrix. Like all Agents he is normally dispassionate and aloof, with a precise manner of speaking, but his forced dealings with humans have left him with somewhat more understanding of them than most Agents.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When dealing with humans, he uses many euphemisms, as he has found that humans often prefer not to say what they really mean. Death is &amp;quot;cessation of awareness&amp;quot;. Stealing is &amp;quot;expeditious acquisition&amp;quot;. He addresses humans by their gender title and bluepill last name (e.g. &amp;quot;Mister Anderson&amp;quot&lt;img src=&quot;/mxo/images/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;SMILEY&quot; /&gt;, and seems to have a foolproof way of knowing this information about every human he speaks to.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Though Gray resents his assignment greatly at first, he comes to appreciate the fact that he is better at dealing with humans than most other machine Agents. Although he does not enjoy interacting with humans, the fact that he is efficient at it gives him a sense of pride.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>9 Other Agents &lt;p&gt;Aside from the agents that appear in the Matrix films, many other agents have appeared in the Animatrix, the Matrix comics, and the video games. Agents Ash, Bird, Fine, and White are the only agents named there, but others have appeared as well. Along with other Agents in the game &lt;i&gt;The Matrix: Online&lt;/i&gt;, Agents Gray (that was a leading agent), Skinner, and Pace (a female agent) are named.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>10 The Dwelling of Exiles &lt;p&gt;A Domain is a Construct Reality that exists outside of the Core System, and thus does not show up in the Code and is not subject to the reinsertion and reintegration process. Domains are found in the Unformatted Spaces, areas in the subsystem where there is a great deal of unformatted memory used to store the code and data that make up the Matrix reality.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These Shielded Worlds are similar to the Construct Programs created and used by the Redpills, except they are self-sustaining and contain a more complex environment. These pocket worlds are created in a manner that suits the Creator. There, the general routines and subroutines that control gravity, time, and the like, are not as powerful as they would be in the Core Network. Here, physics that affect the growth, shape, and function of animal and plant programs are diluted, allowing for hardier lifeforms.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These strange places, which can appear to be dystopian Gothic cities where it&apos;s always raining, majestic fairy-tale castles and landscapes, or places beyond conventional description with architecture that would not be possible in the Core Network, serve as homes to the multitude of Exiles that congregate in the Mega City. Here they can dwell without having to worry about deletion at the hands of Agents, nor do they have to worry about concealing their powers and their true nature, lest they be targeted by Agents or other Exiles.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;cite&gt;ZippyTheSquirrel wrote:&lt;/cite&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;All the other Agents are just minor characters in comparison to their mentioned counterparts. If I took the time to name every Agent, I&apos;d have to go through and name every other NPC Lupine, Vamp, Nightmare, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The point is that Agents you sometimes encounter in missions or when running through a restricted area are just randomly named NPCs that have no impact on the story. Brown, Jones, and the &apos;son triplets are included. If you want a full list of the different names of Agents you can encounter, I&apos;d suggest doing a search, but that make take too long, so I&apos;ll PM Rarebit for you and post the full list of Agent names here.&lt;/blockquote&gt;i got half agent but others ones not have a background</description>

<description>11 The Instructor &lt;p&gt;First appearing in the short film, &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Second_Renaissance&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;The Second Renaissance&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;, the Instructor (also known as &amp;quot;the Archivist&amp;quot&lt;img src=&quot;/mxo/images/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;SMILEY&quot; /&gt; is a sapient female program in the Zion Historical Archives. She narrates accessed data, including the known history of the &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_III&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Man-Machine War&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; presented in Historical File 12-1. She is sympathetic to both humanity and the Machines, as she never takes either side, but remains neutral and gives her &amp;quot;prayers&amp;quot; to both.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The existence of the Zion Archives and the Instructor seem to contradict Morpheus&apos; comments that the humans of Zion don&apos;t know how the war occurred other than that it was the humans who darkened the sky, suggesting either that Morpheus was lying to Neo or the Archive was constructed at a later point in history when man and machine have learnt to live together peacefully. There is also the possibility that the Archive depicted in &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Second_Renaissance&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;The Second Renaissance&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt; is the archive of an earlier Zion that was destroyed by the machines where information regarding the conflict was more detailed.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<title>Re:Who&apos;s Who - Your Guide to the Matrix Characters!</title>
<description>12 Sentinels &lt;p&gt;Sentinels are described as &lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;a killing machine designed for one thing... &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_and_destroy&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;search and destroy&lt;/a&gt;&amp;quot;&lt;/i&gt; (&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinity_(The_Matrix)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Trinity&lt;/a&gt; and Dozer, &lt;i&gt;The Matrix&lt;/i&gt;). Sentinels are also referred to as &amp;quot;squiddies&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;calamari&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sentinels are highly effective scouts and lethal combatants. A standard unit of the Machines, and resembling a black-painted mechanized &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nautilus&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;nautilus&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octopus&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;octopus&lt;/a&gt;, these fast and deadly machines rarely appear alone and are a serious threat for every hovercraft. Besides the ability to float over the surface, each of their multiple tentacles is each tipped with razor-sharp claws and armed with a variety of sensors, limited maintenance/repair devices, and other equipment. The main weapon however is located on the underside of the body: a powerful laser that is able to cut through the metal hull of any hovercraft.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A Sentinel unit can perform different types of mission like patrolling in small groups, escorting bigger units or seek &amp;amp; destroy. They often search out Rebel ships to swarm them and tear them apart. Once they discover their target, it is almost impossible to escape them. Several Sentinels can tear apart a hovercraft and they are intelligent enough to target communication and weapon systems first. Sentinels are most dangerous when working in squads of three or more. They coordinate their attacks and use their tentacles quite effectively, relying on their laser only to cut through hulls and other obstacles. Rebel ships power down when Sentinels are near so they can use an &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_pulse&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;EMP&lt;/a&gt; to attack them if the ship is spotted. Later in the series, Sentinels appear armed with silverfish-like &amp;quot;tow bombs&amp;quot;, which they can launch at a ship while staying out of EMP range. It is unknown why Sentinels, and probably most other machine-warriors, do not have EMP-safe circuitry to immunize themselves against such attacks. Yet the knowledge about EMP-safe shields is there, as they were able to defend themselves during the nuclear bombing of Zero-One(in The Second Renaissance/&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animatrix&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Animatrix&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sentinels are frequently used by the Machines to destroy human ships and disrupt their operations (&lt;i&gt;The Matrix&lt;/i&gt;); they are also the main force during the attack on Zion, the human city (&lt;i&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Matrix_Revolutions&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;The Matrix Revolutions&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;). They are also able to repair or recharge the enormous drilling Machines (known simply as &amp;quot;Diggers&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;Drillers&amp;quot&lt;img src=&quot;/mxo/images/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;SMILEY&quot; /&gt;. The latter are used to drill through to Zion from the surface, thus avoiding the defenses the Rebels had built into the approaching tunnels, and opening a path for the Sentinels to invade the city.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A different model of Sentinel is seen in the Animatrix short, &lt;i&gt;Matriculated&lt;/i&gt;. It possesses a semi-humanoid torso studded with sensors, a tentacle replacing each arm, and a tail instead of legs. It is not to be confused with the Runners, as, unlike them, it has no defined head, it hovers like regular sentinels, and it (presumably) has no ability to transform.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another only slightly changed Model was seen in the Animatrix short &amp;quot;The Final Flight of the Osiris&amp;quot;, one that had knife blades instead of claws.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A great example of post-modern symbolism is at the end of The Matrix Revolutions, when the robotic eyes of the Sentinel machines turn from red to green after they make peace with the human rebels.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;u&gt;13 Sati &lt;p&gt;Sati (played by &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanveer_K._Atwal&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Tanveer K. Atwal&lt;/a&gt;) is a program (also the last Exile), created by her &amp;quot;father&amp;quot; &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_programs_and_machines_in_the_Matrix_series#Rama_Kandra&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Rama Kandra&lt;/a&gt; and &amp;quot;mother&amp;quot; &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_programs_and_machines_in_the_Matrix_series#Kamala&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Kamala&lt;/a&gt;. She appears in &lt;b&gt;The Matrix Revolutions&lt;/b&gt;. Sati is scheduled for deletion because she has no purpose, born only out of love. To save her, Rama-Kandra and Kamala sell the deletion codes for the &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_system_shell&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;shell&lt;/a&gt; of the Oracle to the Merovingian. He does this at the Le Vrai restaurant, just before the crew of the &lt;i&gt;Nebuchadnezzar&lt;/i&gt; speaks to the Merovingian. In exchange for the codes, Sati is &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People_smuggling&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;smuggled&lt;/a&gt; into the Matrix through the Mobil Avenue train station where she will be put under the care of the Oracle, who has acquired a new shell. It also appears that Sati has creative power within the Matrix, at least in relation to phenomenon such as &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurora_(astronomy)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;aurorae&lt;/a&gt; (which she creates in honor of Neo at the end of &lt;i&gt;The Matrix Revolutions&lt;/i&gt;). In the video game &lt;i&gt;Enter The Matrix&lt;/i&gt;, the Oracle foreshadows that Sati will play an important role in both the Matrix and the real world, but that role remained unrevealed until recently in &lt;i&gt;The Matrix Online&lt;/i&gt;, where she is kidnapped by the General after a lengthy observation, which in turn made the sky turn red, causing catastrophic illnesses for bluepills plugged inside the Matrix. She was shortly rescued by Zion operatives, with the weather returning to normal.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sati, like every other program and human within the Matrix, was absorbed by the Smith virus. This would explain why he was able to create a storm during the final battle with Neo.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sati is named after &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dakshayani&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Dakshayani&lt;/a&gt;, a Hindu deity (the first incarnation of &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parvati&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Parvati&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;, who is the first wife of Lord &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiva&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Shiva&lt;/a&gt;). Sati committed suicide after her parents insulted her husband at a religious function called the &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yajna&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;yajna&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sati also refers to the &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanskrit&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Sanskrit&lt;/a&gt; (and &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pali&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Pāli&lt;/a&gt;) word &lt;i&gt;sati&lt;/i&gt;, which is related to the &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Praxis_(process)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;praxis&lt;/a&gt; of being &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mindfulness&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;mindful&lt;/a&gt; (being with what is); &lt;i&gt;sati&lt;/i&gt; also translates as &amp;quot;consciousness&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;self-consciousness&amp;quot;. With this &amp;quot;&lt;i&gt;sati&lt;/i&gt;&amp;quot; in mind, she (the girl) is a capacity to see or be conscious of what is, but since this has no pragmatic purpose in a mechanical world, she needs to be smuggled into the Matrix, and there her power expands. She is the lovechild made of energy and creativity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/u&gt;</description>

<description>14 The Oracle &lt;p&gt;The Oracle is a mysterious but powerful figure, played by both &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gloria_Foster&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Gloria Foster&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Alice&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Mary Alice&lt;/a&gt;. She is incongruously depicted as a cheerful old lady possessing the power of foresight, which she uses to advise and guide the humans attempting to fight the Matrix. Later she is revealed to be a sentient program, who is integral to the very nature of the Matrix itself. Whether her power of prediction is &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Determinism&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;deterministic&lt;/a&gt; or not is a concept given much treatment in all three films. She claims that she cannot (like everyone else), see past a choice &amp;quot;we&amp;quot; (i.e. any sapient being bound to logic) do not understand. It becomes clear in the films that her power cannot be used to predict the actions of Neo.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Oracle is played by Gloria Foster in &lt;i&gt;The Matrix&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;The Matrix Reloaded&lt;/i&gt;, and then by Mary Alice in &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Matrix_Revolutions&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;The Matrix Revolutions&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;Enter the Matrix&lt;/i&gt;. It is explained that this change of appearance was because she needed to find another shell to hide in from The Merovingian. In reality Mary Alice was casted as the Oracle because Gloria Foster died of complications from &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetes&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;diabetes&lt;/a&gt;, before her role in The &lt;i&gt;Matrix Revolutions&lt;/i&gt; was shot.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the &lt;i&gt;The Matrix Revolutions&lt;/i&gt;, the Oracle hints about her purpose which is to bring imbalance, rather than balance to the equations that form and govern the Matrix. In that she is opposed to her counterpart, the Architect. More specifically, the Oracle&apos;s purpose is to aid The One and the humans following him by means of the Prophecy (predicting the victory of The One and the fall of the machines), not in order to bring down the Matrix, but rather so that they can voluntarily disconnect themselves from the system. Thus ensuring its stability while also preventing its destruction. As discovered by Neo, the prophecy is the result of &amp;quot;just another system of control&amp;quot;. The role of the Architect is then to reunite the One with the Source and bring about the destruction of Zion. The pair together thus ensure that the cycle of the Ones and Matrices continue.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the final two films, the Oracle succeeds in unbalancing the Matrix (seeing the simultaneous rises of both Neo and Smith) to the extent that it is almost destroyed. However in so doing, she manages to bring about a resolution in which the cycle of Ones and war is ended and peace can be maintained between the Machines and Zion. A &apos;risky game&apos; according to the Architect, that could have ended up destroying the Matrix and the Machine world.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In conclusion she prepares the elements of the unbalanced equation so that they can be properly expressed and an answer found, it is this answer that will be used in order to create a better revision of the Matrix&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Update:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Changed Halborn&amp;#39;s &quot;omgImdead&quot; level to &quot;Dead Red.&quot; Carlyne&amp;#39;s been changed to &quot;MIA Orange,&quot; as has Danielle Wright, in expectance that she&amp;#39;s disappeared after you defeat her atop the rooftops.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Also added a new entry, the Biological Interface Program, now that there&amp;#39;s enough information about it and it appears to have a body...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another reason for the update is that I couldn&amp;#39;t stand scrolling by and seeing the mod&amp;#39;s post as being the last one. Orange is such a beastly color amidst the black and grey...&lt;/p&gt;</description>

I get the feeling the Oligarchy is going to become increasingly important as the story goes on, and we don&amp;#39;t want her brief(ish) appearance confusing things.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Minor update concerning Mauser and Oracle, using a slight mesh of actual transpired Events and Rarebit&amp;#39;s story notes. Nothing else was changed, as I&amp;#39;m not going to update past tense story details with future tense never-going-to-happen-anyway story plot.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
