After the human race was defeated by the machines of Zero One, the machines performed experiments using cybernetic implants to connect human minds to computers. The first version of the Matrix into which the humans were hardwired was created by the Architect. According to him in The Matrix Reloaded, it was designed as a perfect world, with no wars, plagues, or dangers of any sort. People, due to human nature, began to reject this simulated utopian reality; according to Agent Smith, this rejection caused "entire crops" of humans to die.
Version two
Instead of the "perfection" of the first, the second version of the Matrix simulated a world more in line with "the varying grotesqueries of [human] nature", with wars, plagues and more hellish environments. It has been alluded to by pre-version three programs such as the Merovingion and Persophone that entities such as the Twins (ghosts), Seraph (angels), Cujo and his werewolves, Vlad and his vampires, as well as other "supernatural" programs are remnants of this era of the Matrix.Much to the frustration of the Architect, this version was also a failure.
Version three
The creation of a third version was suspended until a way could be found of dealing with mankind's unpredictable nature. The solution was stumbled upon by the Oracle, a program created to understand the human psyche. The Oracle found that 99% of humans would accept the system if given a subconscious choice to accept or reject the Matrix. However, the remaining 1% could eventually become dangerous to the stability of the Matrix if left unchecked. This problem was solved by allowing this 1% to reject the Matrix and create a settlement of their own called Zion.However, the Matrix would eventually crash, killing everyone connected to it. The machines needed something to prevent this. In order to keep the inhabitants of Zion under control, they created the concept of the One, and the Oracle disseminated among the rebels a prophecy that this person would free humanity. The One would also be instrumental in the smooth restarting of the Matrix. Before the Matrix would crash, Zion would be attacked and the One would meet the Architect, and would be told the truth about the Matrix and his following task:
"The function of the One is now to return to the Source allowing a temporary dissemination of the code you carry, reinserting the Prime Program. After which you will be required to select from the Matrix twenty-three individuals — sixteen female, seven male — to rebuild Zion. Failure to comply with this process will result in a cataclysmic system crash killing everyone connected to the Matrix. Which, coupled with the extermination of Zion, will ultimately result in the extinction of the entire human race."The survivors would be told the prophecy of the One, but would not be allowed to know of the cycle of the Matrix's renewal, each time believing it to around the year 2100 when they were revived, and the first time anyone had been freed from the Matrix.
The "One cycle" was put into effect, with the machines maintaining control of the system for five full cycles and five Ones. However, the sixth One, Thomas A. Anderson, was different to his predecessors in a way the machines had not expected. The previous Ones had all felt a general attachment to people, and had chosen to prolong the Matrix in order to avoid the extinction of the human race; Neo, however, loved a particular woman, Trinity, a hacker whom the Oracle had told would fall in love with the One. Neo rejected the rational idea posed by the Architect to save humanity and instead made the irrational decision to save Trinity from an attack by an Agent.In turn, this led to more system crashes and the allowance for Smith, a rogue Agent corrupted and strengthed by a previous encounter with Neo, to spread throughout the Matrix like a virus. He became a threat to both machines and humans alike and so when the One struck a deal with the machines—in the form of a Deus Ex Machina—to get rid of Smith in return for peace, it agreed. Neo battled Smith, but eventually realized that the only way to win was to allow Smith to imprint over himself, enabling the machines to delete the rogue program. Peace was restored, and the inhabitants of Zion were allowed to survive.
Version fourThe conclusion of The Matrix Revolutions shows a fourth version of the Matrix world, in which any people that wish to leave the Matrix are allowed to do so. The Matrix Online takes place in this version of the Matrix.
History according to "The Second Renaissance"
"In the beginning, Man created Machine, and for a time, it was good..."
Sometime between 2071 and 2075, the machine B166ER was tried, convicted, and destroyed by the U.S. for the murder of his two masters.
The actions of one machine spawned fear and a sort of racism towards all other machines. The machines of the world were persecuted and massacred by human governments, and all survivors were subsequently expelled from their home nations. The surviving machines traveled to the Mesopotamian desert, an uninhabited region of the Fertile Crescent somewhere in Iraq or Iran, and partly on the Arabian Peninsula, and raised Zero One from the ground up.
Impact on the world
After its founding and the establishment of its industrial powers, Zero One's economy began to boom. Goods produced were of a much higher quality and far cheaper than those produced by human nations since the machines could mass-produce with great efficiency. Unlike the humans, the machines' primary source of power was from the Sun.
Economies were devastated by the influx of better, cheaper products, and the value of human currencies dropped as the machine's currency rapidly gained value. Huge economic superpowers such as the U.S. and China rapidly fell into recession. The rapid breakdown of the human economies was partly their own fault on some level, as developing countries with large debts to pay off had little worries over buying and using Zero One's technology, since it was cheap and effective and buying it didn't incur more debts. However, the industrialized nations, to stave off a complete economic meltdown, instituted a naval blockade of Zero One and thereafter most countries ceased all open trade and economic ties.
The machines, meanwhile, had for years been trying to gain membership into the United Nations and establish a civil relationship with the humans. But the economic crisis convinced the UN to deny membership to Zero One.
The First Man-Machine War (2085-2090)
Nuclear bombardment of Zero One
As the crisis worsened, diplomatic attempts at resolving it collapsed and Zero One was renounced as an illegal nation-entity. War was declared by most human governments in 2085, but eventually all mankind became involved.
The U.S. began by leading other UN nations in a bombing campaign against Zero One and most of its industry. Weapons of mass destruction such as nuclear warheads, and fusion ordnance were dropped constantly on Zero One, destroying many established industrial complexes. However, once the bombs stopped dropping, Zero One was easily rebuilt and all the inhabitants destroyed were replaced quite quickly. Because of the massive amounts of resources still available to Zero One, and the never ending energy supplied by the Sun, Zero One had no trouble rebuilding its industry.
Seeing the humans as a threat to its very existence, Zero One raised an army and war was declared against all humanity between 2085 and 2086.
(It is not necessarily clear how the machines were able to manufacture and rebuild so quickly, since accordingly, any nuclear weapon or fusion bomb produces an EMP shockwave capable of permanently frying any electric powered device and rendering it scrap metal. Most nuclear devices produce an EMP shockwave whose effective range can reach for 12 kilometres in a single detonation. There is much speculation that the reason that the machines seemed un-affected is due to either superior EM-hardening on the machine troops, or the implementation of optical circuitry in their population. Neither of these explanations, however, are consistent with the Matrix films themselves, in which EMP is repeatedly deployed by humanity as their primary - according to Trinity, during the first Sentinal encounter in The Matrix, the only - weapons against the machines. It is also conjectured that the quick reconstruction of Zero One after the initial bombing campaign was because of resourcefully recycling the destroyed infrastructure.)
Zero One's ability to build huge numbers of troops gave it an enormous advantage over the humans. As their army moved in all directions, nations fell and militaries were overwhelmed. Most of Europe fell first, and then the rest of Eurasia. The Atlantics, Africas and the Americas were most likely the last demographies to put up a fight against the machines.
It was at this point that human governments became desperate. In an effort to stop the advance and push Zero One back, Operation Dark Storm was implemented. The mission was to block out the earth's sunlight, the machine's main source of power. Most of the sky over half of the world was filled with thick, indissoluable black smoke, eventually covering the entire planet. But this did not stop the machines, and only momentarily slowed them down. It was in their search for a new power source that the machines began developing the Matrix. The humans continued to fight, but by 2090, the last human armies surrendered and the last governments dissolved along with the United Nations (whose headquarters was destroyed by a nuclear weapon after a peace treaty was signed with resistance from its leadership), and Zero One became the supreme authority of earth, the Machine World City Empire.
Postwar/Continuation of the War
After the war, Earth was in complete ruin and broken beyond repair. Most of the landmass was rendered uninhabitable by the fighting and the blanketing smoke from Operation Darkstorm. The smoke, which at this point became a permanent feature of earth, completely blocked out the Sun's light and thus slowly killed off any remaining flora and fauna.
And scattered throughout the seven continents were the destitute remains of human civilization.
Of course, there were human survivors, and with them was some resistance. People tried to live in destroyed cities like Los Angeles and Washington, D.C to avoid capture by the machines. Most humans went underground and constructed the city of Zion, the last city on Earth inhabited by humans. As the machines established their full authority they began plugging humans into the Matrix. The machines of the Machine World City, which was once Zero One, had created a new world order. But the War between Man and Machine did not end.
It continued.

The name "Machine World City Empire" was one that the machines of Zero One ascribed themselves. After the first Man-Machine War in the late 21st Century, humanity was subdued and held merely as a battery inside a massive conglomerative computer simulation known as The Matrix.
The World City Empire was not one that physically occupied the entire Earth, but was merely spread throughout different geographical locations where differing concentrations of humans were 'plugged' into the Matrix. One can think of it as the "hardware" on which the Matrix "software" ran.
This World City Empire, with the exception of the central municipality which was Zero One itself, mainly encompassed the massive pillars of humans kept in a hybridised-cryogenic state where their biothermal and electrical energies are harvested for machine needs. Construction of this city empire began after the surrender of the last human forces in the United States and the signing of the peace treaty by the heads of the United Nations
Because the Machines had already subdued humanity in the third world war between man and machine, the governance of the World City Empire was met without any opposition. Essentially, any opposition to it had to directed via the Matrix itself, as defences surrounding the city prohibited any sort of human invasion, whether stealthily or by force.

Important Figures
A program who is seen as a guide to the rebels she is the personification of Intuition. The Oracle was the one to speak of a prophecy and an anomaly who would end the war by reaching The Source.
She has The Sight; the ability to see the world without time. The Oracle is the mother of the matrix and is the one who discovered the need for choice in order for the illusion to work. She realizes that the best way for both worlds to progress is together. The programs Rama-Kandra and Kamala gave her termination code to the Merovingian in order to save their daughter Sati, forcing the Oracle to take on a new but similar form.
She embraces Sati anyways, realizing her importance, allowing her to live in her apartment. Soon after, Smith spreads exponentially, taking over Sati, Seraph, and the Oracle. After Smith is defeated, the Oracle reverts back to normal.
He is the creator of the matrix. It is not certain if the Architect and Deus Ex Machina are the same. They are, however, unlikely to be.
In his room there are television screens on the walls, which preform these functions:
The Architect is the creator of the matrix, which is essentially the world. In traditional Christian interpretations this can be something of a confusion, however there are some other ways this can be made sense of:
Morpheus is the captain of the Nebuchadnezzar and a Master Rebel. As child, he was one of the first to eat "Zion-made bread".
The Oracle prophesized that he would find the One, so Morpheus searches for him his entire life until he finds Neo. He was once with Captain Niobe, but he was consumed by the prophecy and they split up.
Morpheus essentially sacrifices himself for Neo by fighting Agent Smith to give the crew time to escape. After being taken prisoner, he resists the efforts of Smith and the agents and refuses to give the codes to Zion's mainframe. Once Morpheus is rescued and he sees Neo begin to display his powers(and believe that he is The One), he believes the war will come to a close soon.
When the prophecy is fulfilled and Neo reaches the source but the war doesn't end, Morpheus is crushed. He is now dispirited and shipless, but his faith in Neo prevails.
He helps Niobe pilot the Mjolnir (hammer) through the mechanical line into Zion, and afterwards they become a couple again.
Nebuchadnezzar was a king of Babylon in the Old Testament who is haunted by nightmares. The prophet Daniel interprets his dreams: they fortell “what will be at the End of Days” (Daniel 2:2.
The Nebuchadnezzar is Morpheus' ship and Morpheus is the Greek god of dreams. Nebuchadnezzar was the ancient king of Chaldea (Babylon). He was born about 630 B.C. and died around 562 B.C. At this time, "God's people" had become extremely corrupt and idolatrous. They ignored all of the Prophets that God had sent to warn them (2 Chronicles 36:15-16), and they refused to repent. They trusted in themselves, in the city of Jerusalem, even in the physical Temple, rather than in God. So, God, through Nebuchadnezzar, destroyed it all in order to make them realize, in no uncertain terms, that they had turned their backs on Him, much like those inside of the Matrix have involuntarily turned their back on "reality". Like King Nebuchadnezzar, Morpheus is charged with snapping the people in the Matrix and Zion back to reality.
Frenchy, as he is so often called is the personifiation of Mind, is the "trafficker of information."
The Merovingian is a main character and is introduced in Matrix Reloaded. He plays a counterpart of Neo. The Merovingian is the husband of Persephone. He is a program who "lives" inside of the Matrix.
A program from an earlier version of the Matrix, the Merovingian holds a great deal of power and leads a group of exiled programs up in the mountains. He has a wife, Persephone, who he often cheats on,whom he forced to his side in the past, and because of past events, is forced to spend and stay half of the year with her, in his Chateau. He also has a great deal of Exile henchmen, who have based themselves and their powers off of mythological creautres, such as vampires, werewolves, and ghosts. He has survived other 'the Ones', by outwitting and outliving them(hence running away with his tail between his legs) and holds the Keymaker program hostage, possibly with hopes of stopping the reloads. The Merovingian controls the Mobil Avenue, the place between the machine world and the matrix that programs have to go through in order to reach the matrix if they are to become exiles. When Neo ends up here, the Merovingian agrees to release him in exchange for the eyes of the Oracle. Instead, Trinity holds a gun to his head and forces him to free Neo.
The Merovingian is seen in the following places
The Merovingian is known to have these following programs under his command
He also maintains control over various exile gangs of Mega city.
Merovingians are an illuminati dynastic bloodline creating a new world order
The Merovingians are a dynasty of Frankish kings who ruled in parts of present-day France and Germany from the 5th to 8th century. The dynasty moved into France and northern Europe through the Franks from its dynastic namesake, Meroveus or Merovee, who supposedly had a red cross as a birthmark above his heart. The Merovingian bloodline is the most powerful of thirteen illuminati bloodlines. The Merovingian bloodline includes Charlemagne, French kings: Robert II, Philip Ist, II and III, and Louis Ist, II, VI, VII, VIII, VIIII, XIII, IX, XV, and XVI, the Medici family, Rene d'Anjou, Duke of Lorraine, the House of Lorraine, Queen Isabella of Castile and King Ferdinand of Spain, the Habsburgs, Geoffrey Plantagenet and the Plantagenet royal dynasty in England; King John, King Henry Ist, II, and III, King John, Mary Stuart and the Stuart Dynasty, King James the Ist of England, King George Ist, II, and III, Edward the Ist, II, and III, Queen Victoria; Edward VII; George V and VI; Queen Elizabeth II; Prince Charles and the British royals: Anne, Andrew and Edward, US Presidents: George Washington, John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and George Bush. Genealogical sources, like the New England Historical Genealogical Society and Burkes Peerage, have shown that 33 of the 42 presidents to Clinton are related to Charlemagne and 19 are related to England's Edward III, both of whom are Merovingians.
Morpheus speaks of "a world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth". The Merovingian personifies illuminati power, the hidden hand creating the illusion of choice. llluminati power lies in secret societies, central banks, media empires, government agencies, intelligence agencies, the drug trade, generational occult/psychic power. The machine world represents the architecture of the new world order, "If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stomping on a human face -- forever." -- George Orwell.
Christian speculation about the lineage of the future Antichrist leads back to the Merovingians, the Magdalene Heresy and the lost tribe of Dan.
The Merovingian might represent "Hades" from Greek mythology. "Persephone" was also the name of the wife of Hades. They lived both in the Underworld.
In certain Christian mythologies the Holy Grail would prove the Merovingian kings' divinity, the "eyes of the Oracle" are parallel to a means of finding the holy Grail in the old Christian stories. The Merovingian would obviously want this because like the Oracle says, "what do all men with power want?, more power"
Neo's given name in the matrix is "Thomas A. Anderson". "Neo" is Mr. Anderson's computer hacker alias.
Morpheus believes that Neo is the one who is mentioned in the prophecy. The one who will bring an end to the war Machines vs. Zionists.
Before Neo is unplugged he is an employee of Metacortex by day and sells illegal software by night. Neo keeps the software in a hollowed out copy of Jean Baudrillard's "Simulacra and Simulation". Trinity hacks into Neo's computer and print him a message on his computer monitor, a reference to "Alice in Wonderland" to "Follow the White Rabbit."
Neo is contacted by Trinity and Morpheus who free him from the matrix and out of his cocoon and take him aboard the Nebuchadnezzar.
Although Morpheus believes he would be the One to fulfill the prophecy, Neo doesn't realize his own abilities until after getting gunned down by Agent Smith. After that, he views the Matrix in code and starts to reach beyond the tip of the iceberg of his power, including the new ability of flight and stopping bullets midair.
After reaching the Architect , Neo learns that he was not meant to fulfill any prophecies. He is the anomaly of the system and all of his actions has been monitored and expected. It even turns out that he wasn't the first "One". However, Neo breaks the cycle by refusing to return to the source and returns to the Matrix instead to rescue Trinity.
After returning to the real world, Neo suddenly can sense the sentinels and is able to stop them with powers similar to what he uses in the Matrix.
The new use of these powers sends Neo into an unconscious state, with his mind stuck in Mobil Ave. (in Matrix 3). Here he is powerless as it is a place built by the Merovingian's underling the Trainman and does not follow the typical rules of the Matrix.
Trinity, Morpheus and Seraph free Neo from Mobil Ave, and Neo goes to see the Oracle one last time to get some answers. He learns that he has a connection to the source and is able to power down sentinels through this connection even if not in the Matrix.
From there, he figures out on his own that the next stop in his path is the machine city, where he makes a deal with the Deus Ex Machina for peace in exchange for stopping the Smith program.
After that, he enters the Matrix and battles Smith for the last time. Finally, he sacrifices himself, allowing Smith to take over his virtual body. Because everything has a purpose, and Smith's only purpose was to defeat Neo (which he never expected to do) Smith no longer has a purpose and so must be deleted. So the machines do this by sending the deletion command through Neo, because Neo and Smith are one and the same, this also leads to Neo's virtual death, and those who were taken over by the Smiths return to normal.
Then the Oracle tells Sati that she believes they will see Neo again.
It has now been confirmed that Neo is dead, and with his sacrifice the peace between Zion and the Machines is sealed. How long the peace will last no one knows, except maybe the Oracle. Some of the Zionists, however, believe Neo is still alive.
There is some evidence that suggests Neo was a program inserted into a human body instead of an actual human. The fact that Neo carries the prime code that must be reinserted into the Source so the Matrix can be reloaded supports this view. In the Matrix Reloaded and Matrix Revolutions the character Smith enters the body of a Zion rebel Bane and attempts to confront Neo in the real world. This proves that it is indeed possible for a program to inhabit a human body. Neo is shown to be different than the previous One's by his love for humanity. This idea is further explored in the Animatrix shorts, and Revolutions: The concept of machines evolving to feel emotions.
This may also explain why Neo's ability to affect machines extends outside of the Matrix and also why he retains some form of vision when Bane blinds him. Note that he only sees light or code that is around a machine location or entity.
•References to Vishnu: The Trinity of Morpheus, Trinity and Neo closely parallels the Hindu Triad of Gods, Vishnu (Neo) being the one who restores balance to the world.

The Merovingian owns a castle which is not named in the movies, but which resembles the Rennes le Chateau in southern France, a region where the Merovingian Kings lived many years ago. It exists outside the Core Network, but is still linked to the Core Network via backdoors and other anomalies in the Matrix Structure. It is its own self-sustaining Domain, and thus is not affected by what goes on outside of the Domain. decades, even centuries can pass on the outside, and time in the Chateau doesn't follow suit. Within it, are backdoors and portals that are linked to other places in the Matrix, and has its own strange dimension within it, where strange Exiles(or Proxies, they haven't really discussed it), called Ant-Men; dwell here.
Hel Club is owned by The Merovingian. The entrance is guarded by 5 guards (exile programs), with the ability to walk on walls and ceilings.
Trinity enters the Hel Club with Morpheus and Seraph to force the Merovingian to release Neo out of the Mobil Ave.
L' Ecole de la Tour or the Tower School, is a Domain(Matrix pocket reality, like the Chateau and Mobil Avenue) in the guise of a boarding school in the Matrix, where the Merovingian send all of the Orphans(Children Exiles who become the Merovingian's Wards) and His Henchmen-to-be to be taught in the ways of etiquette, Court Conduct(various different powerful Exiles associated with the Merovingian have and hold their own Courts), the martial arts, subterfuge, and various other skills, before he utilizes them in his schemes or trades them off to other powerful Exiles that He associates with, to serve as footsoldiers, concubines, bodyguards and the like.
Mobil Ave is a train station, an artifical reality similar to the Matrix that is passively connected to the Matrix.
It is used by The Trainman to smuggle programs from the Machine world into the matrix and is built by the Trainman. The only way out of there is by The Trainman's train. If one's try to run along the tracks from on side, he shall return to Mobil Ave through the opposite side.
The One has no power in Mobil Ave, because it is not a part of The Matrix. In fact, all Matrix-supported powers (like focused abilities used by rebels and presumably some programs) don't work in Mobil Ave. The only one with power in Mobil Ave is The Trainman. Inside Mobil Ave, The Trainman has the strength and speed of the one and his ability to shape the code. There is a chance that the power of the trainman in Mobil Ave is stronger then the power of The One in The Matrix.
It is the place Neo goes after stopping the sentinels. It's where he meets Sati and her father and mother.
The Hallway is a virtual space beyond the normal borders of the Matrix; thus, it cannot be monitored by Rebel operators. The Hallway is in fact two hallways crossing, one of them is of seemingly infinite length, the other one (or there can be more than one) relatively short. The Hallway is painted white and has a number of green doors at both its sides, leading to distant locations within the Matrix and the Merovingian's Chateau.
Seraph, who has access (a special key) to the Hallway, refers to the doors as "backdoors for programmer access". Others who are known to have the access are the Keymaker and the Merovingian's servants Cain and Abel. Smith is believed to have taken over another program with access to the Hallway, thus gaining access for himself.
The shorter hallway also has doors on both its ends. One of them leads to a dark room which also has doors; one of them, which is opened with a very special key that only the Keymaker has and which is meant only for the One, leads to the Architect's room and finally to the Source.
It is the Hallway where Niobe and Ghost first meet the Keymaker, learning from him about the special key, which is then stolen by Cain and Abel. Through the Hallway Seraph guides Neo to the Oracle. Here Neo, Morpheus, and the Keymaker are blocked by Smiths on their way to the Source, and here Niobe and Ghost encounter Smiths when fighting their way out of the Matrix after visiting the Oracle
The company Thomas A. Anderson (Neo) works for as a computer programmer. His boss is Mr. Rhineheart. He must escape the agents in Matrix 1 while under directions from Morpheus on the cell phone.
Note: The name "Meta Cortex" is also spelled "Meta Cortechs"
This is where Neo and Trinity have there famous lobby shoot out, and where they rescue Morpheus
They created a devertion: by placing a bomb in the elevator and cutting the elevator cord, they made a fire in the first floor, which turned the smoke alarm on, leaving all the other floors flooded with water.
They also used the other side of the cord to reach the roof quickly, where they fought more security guards and an agent. And Neo made his first dodge against an Agent's bullets, but he wasn't fast enough. the last bullet hit him (yet left a small wound). Then Trinity shot the Agent while he was distracted by his victory over Neo.
After Tank had given Trinity a V-212 helicopter training program, she and Neo stole the V-212 that lied on the rooftop and piloted it to the floor where Morpheus was held captive. Neo cleaned it from Agents with a chaingun on the V-212 and gave Morpheus a lift back to the real world.
Zion
Zion was the last human city on the planet Earth and existed deep underground for both concealment from its enemies as well as warmth. In this future Earth, the surface was too cold and dangerous for humans to live after a catalysmic nuclear war between sentient Machines and Man hundreds of years before left the artificial beings with control over the surface.
Other than occassional trips for reconnaissance or warfare, the only humans left on the surface were confined to the Matrix -- a virtual computer world operated by the machines to keep humans docile, provide electrical power for the machine population, and the computer processing power that kept the Matrix running.
Considering the distance to the Machine City (that is located within the area of Southern Iraq or Saudi Arabia) and the relatively short amount of time it takes the Hammer to go to Zion and the Logos to the Machine City from the same start point; one could postulate that Zion is in fact underneath the historical Mt Zion near Jerusalem or within the vicinity of the Holy Land. This is possible considering the timescale involved and geographic locations that the Matrix series depicts.
Zion was cylindrical in design, composed of many different levels. The Docks comprise the top level of the city, which contained ports for Zion hovercraft such as the Nebuchadnezzar as well as the city's primary defenses. The city's living quarters, temples, and gathering spaces comprised the intermediate areas. The bottom level contained vital life support machinery such as that which supplied water to Zion's inhabitants. By the final days of the war the knowledge to repair these systems had been lost, though that also have been part of the scenario set up by the Machines everytime the city was "reset" following an appearance of The One. Unbeknownst to its human inhabitants, Zion was actually far older than they realized by about five times.
Zion was led by a Council that made all administrative decisions. As shown in the last two movies, there were other officials that report to the Council, such as Commander Lock, supreme commander of the Zion defensive forces. The captains of the various hovercraft also had some political bearing, and their crews accompanied their captains to Council forums.
The Architect, creator of the Matrix, used Zion as a control for the survival of the program in two ways. Firstly, the Machines allowed humans who did not accept the Matrix to live in the physical world at Zion without attempting to recapture them or otherwise destroy the city (which was well within their power). This had the effect of reducing dissent within the Matrix and preventing an exponentially-growing rejection of the articial universe by its prisoners. For the second control, the Architect periodically destroyed Zion and its inhabitants as part of a deal coercing The One to reinsert the programming code he carried back into the source. The alternative was a systemic failure that would crash the entire system and kill the overwhelming majority of the human population, so up until Neo's appearance, each incarnation of The One chose the smaller loss of Zion rather than be responsible for the extinction of his species.
Over time, the Matrix gradually destabilized due to the side-effects of the programming provided by The Oracle. The One ostenisibly contained the 'Prime Program," the key choice-programming code needed by the Architect. Because of the Oracle's contribution, a reloading of the Matrix code was needed approximately every 100 years. After Zion's destruction, the Architect allowed The One a small number of humans who were freed from the Matrix to repopulate Zion and start the cycle again. It is unknown if the city was physically rebuilt by Man each time or if they were given a measure of help, as evidenced by the fact that technology existed in Zion that cannot be replicated by its inhabitants.
Zion had been destroyed and rebuilt five times . The Trainman, a henchmen of the Merovingian, told the Logos captain Niobe that it took the Machines 72 hours to destroy Zion. As Neo, the 6th One, deduced in his conversation with the Architect, there were no survivors of the previously destroyed Zions that knew of the city's repeated destruction, except for the previous Ones themselves. They evidently chose not to share that information before their prerequisite deaths (which served to foretell the coming of the next One).
Despite good defense planning, Zion's defenses have never been sufficient to resist the juggernaut Machine army. The city was nearly razed a sixth time, but Neo saved it from destruction by creating a truce with the Machines which halted the attack. Zion's defense was comprised of the hovercraft fleet, the APU Corps (Armoured Personnel Unit), and a bloc of infantry that carried plasma rifles. Unlike their hovercraft, Zion defenses do not possess an EMP device, as the use of it would not only disable any Machine attackers such as Sentinels, but the Zion defense grid and the city's APU fighters as well.
The first major event to occur was a "race" between the three factions to gather Neo's RSI fragments. The first faction to gather a certain number of fragments received upgraded defence statistics. Different factions won on different servers.
Morpheus has also complained that the physical remains of Neo were never returned to Zion from the Machine City (Zero One), yet cryptically, the Machines have said that they did not recycle Neo's remains either.
The second major event a week later was the appearance of Agents with glowing red eyes. These Agents appeared mysteriously and began attacking all humans...including those allied with the Machines. None of the three factions claimed to be controlling the red eyed Agents, and some believe they serve a new fourth faction. They attacked anyone with an RSI code fragment ("contraband fragments" ) or anyone attempting to defend them.
Later, a message from the Oracle indicated that "intruders" angered by the Truce are behind this, and that somehow Neo split himself up into fragments within the Matrix knowing that it was needed for the future. However, the only way to put Neo's code back together is with the help of programs known as Shapers. Fighting then broke out between the factions for control of Shapers, leading to the Red Eyed Agents capturing a Shaper in the confusion, which allowed them to create a new breed of red eyed agents: N30 Agents. Soon Niobe sent a message to players to fight the menace along with a new wave of agents which bore a strong resemblance to Neo.
The third major event, Nightfall, began with the kidnapping of two important leaders from vampire-like and werewolve-like Exiles gangs (the Blood-drinkers and the Lupines, respectively). It was soon revealed that Malphas and his Lupine counterpart Ookami had not been kidnapped at all, but were hiding from the Merovingian. Upon returning, they led a revolt of both gangs against the Merovingian's domination of all Exiles, attempting to rally many humans to their cause. However, while Malphas was absent his subordinate Invalesco attempted his own power grab against him, promising to turn humans that joined him into immortal 'vampires' with his source code. He was unsuccessful: upon their return Invalesco was hunted down and killed. Amidst this infighting, the Merovingian was able to defeat the uprising and capture Malphas and Ookami. Subjected to torture in the Frenchman's Chateau, they were (for now at least) bent back to his service out of fear, and the attacks ended.
Morpheus stepped up his quest to convince the Machines to return Neo's body. By planting specially coded bombs near places where redpills were likely to gather (usually hardlines, but later on or near monuments), the bombs would detonate and, while they did no physical damage to the Matrix, spread a virus to any redpills caught in the blast. This virus was designed to reveal the underlying code, showing the bluepills the true nature of the Matrix, causing them to reject it as real, and possibly crashing the system. All organizations were out to kill him. Agents patrolled the streets, as did the Lupines and Blood Drinkers. Another mysterious group emerged during this time, called Cypherites by many, consisting of masked humans. Not only did they sabotage hardlines to trap people in the Matrix, but they also rabidly hunted Morpheus. Redpills rushed to defuse Morpheus' bombs in order to protect the truce, while others fought to protect the bombs.
On the sixth day of the ten day event, tragedy struck. Morpheus met a mysterious assassin as he set one of his final bombs in a waste water treatment plant. He fled the initial attack, only to be caught off guard when the Assassin caught up to him, apparently able to bend the rules of the Matrix as he slipped through a narrow vent in front of him. He was unable to dodge the onslaught of gunshots. Morpheus was dead.
Niobe met with leaders from the machines, who denied involvement. She later formed a faction of her own to track down who had sent the Assassin. The hunt for Morpheus' Assassin was on. Soon, exiles called Corrupted began to appear throughout the Matrix, attacking Redpills at random. It was later discovered that these programs were created by the Assassin in his own image using a "corrupted virus", meaning that the programs' bodies were composed of flies. During the chaos that ensued with the attacks, Agent Skinner, liaison to the Machinist redpills, was permanently deleted by the Assassin. Soon, Red Pills found documents on the Corrupted that were attacking them, and piecing the information together from it they learned that killing Morpheus had not been the Assassin's ultimate goal. The Corrupted were designed to destabilize the Matrix upon death, and by releasing them en masse, the Assassin hoped that Red pills killing them would completely destroy the Matrix.
The event culminated with much larger versions of the Corrupted, called Complete Corrupted, who could only be destroyed by special pesticide items. All Redpills of all organizations put aside their differences and worked together to defeat these massive programs and restore order to the Matrix. However, with the event over and order restored, one thing remains: the Assassin is still at large.
Following the permanent deletion of Agent Skinner, the Machines activated a new Agent as his replacement, Agent Pace. Agent Pace is a 'new style' of Agent, most notably in two ways. First, it is more emotionally expressive. Second, "it" is a "she"; Agent Pace is the first 'female' Agent. Pace's behavior is markedly different from previous models of Agents because she was designed to be "more human". Pace actually smiles on occasion, and behaves almost benevolently toward human redpills under her authority. A hidden message from Agent Pace can be found on the official site, in the "Sentinel" fake newspaper page, by clicking on a typo that says "fragmenting" twice; a picture of her is also there. She seems to have the odd (for an Agent) habit of falling into using Italian words frequently when she is speaking.
The crew of the hovercraft Novalis II must try to save the life of their crewmate, Neurophyte. This scenario had alternate ending which played out differently on the separate game servers. However, with the later merger of the 9 servers into 3, it is unclear how this storyline may play out in the time to come.
The Cypherites, masked redpills that want to be put back into the Matrix like Cypher once did, begin a string of attacks led by Gemaskeerd and Enmascarado. In the end Enmascarado is killed by the Assassin, the Assassin releases a new flame virus, and Novalis II crewmember Toorima is revealed as a Cypherite leader called Veil, but not before she is able to kill her crewmate Vashuo.
An insecticide program is developed to kill the Assassin once and for all, though he splits into several copies. All three organizations team up to defeat him for good and avenge Morpheus. A new character known as The General first appears. He claims his name is General David Beatts, leader of an army that no longer has a purpose, and may be tied to the mysterious heavy air traffic of helicopters (he arrived in one).

More Characters
A rebel aboard the Logos, Ghost's major skill is with firearms. He often snipes enemies to cover Captain Niobe as she accomplishes missions. Interested in the philosophy of William James, Augustine and Hume. He is dedicated to a higher purpose (self description). Ghost was freed the same day as Trinity and thus they refered to each other as brother and sister.Newer Information: Ghost currently serves aboard Niobes newly reformed crew the Logos II. He is considered by most a vital member in Niobe's organization dedicated to avenging Morpheus. (Sorry, not much to say on him...I havent spoken to him my self)
The first mate on the Nebuchadnezzar, Trinity was told by the Oracle that she would fall in love with the One.
Trinity watched Neo for a while before they attempted to free him. Over the course of time when Neo is aboard the Neb, Trinity realizes that she does love Neo. She kisses Neo while he is jacked in after he gets gunned down by Agent Smith, causing Neo to realize he had only died in the Matrix and refuses to die.
During Neo's act to reach the source, Trinity is forced to jack into the Matrix when Soren's crew is killed before disabling the backup generator. She is successful, but finds herself in a hopeless situation against several agents and jumps out a window. Agent Thompson shoots her in the heart. Neo flies down and catches her. He successfully revives her by manually restarting her heart.
When Neo becomes trapped in Mobil Ave, Trinity confronts the Merovingian to get him out. She accompanies Neo aboard the Logos on the journey to the machine city, but dies when the Logos crashes into a machine structure and she is punctured by some poles.
Smith plays the counterpart to Neo. Smith is the Zero Function of the Matrix. Smith is the Zero. He multiplies with others to make them also Zero.
Smith is an Arch-Agent and is first seen in when he tries to capture Trinity with his 2 fellow agents Agent Brown and Agent Jones (of whom he seems to be the head).
Smith has a horrible sense for human life and sees the human race as a Virus. Smith makes a deal with Cypher in order to get to Morpheus. After Morpheus is in his custody, he attempts to get codes to the Zion mainframe, hoping that the destruction of Zion would mean that he would no longer have to be a part of the Matrix.
But Neo rescues Morpheus and brings him back to the Real World but before Neo can return the the Real World too, Smith destroyes the hardline, forcing Neo to either run or to fight. Neo fights Smith; a train and slows Agent Smith down, but he returns shortly and continues chasing Neo. Smith shoots Neo in, but Neo returns to life as the One and kills Smith by taking over.
After Neo Enters Smith and kills him from within, Smith is then supposed to return to the Source to be deleted, but in a phenomenon resulting from Neo's jump into Smith's body having something to do with their code getting mixed, Smith no longer feels the need to obey orders. He now multiplies as a Virus (or as a cancer), taking over more and more hosts (humans and programs) inside the Matrix, with one purpose in mind: To destroy Neo.
One of his Host-bodies is that of the Rebel: Bane, who is possessed by Smith even in Zion (= outside of The Matrix).
Smith continues to spread throughout the Matrix until it is his world, taking over such Exile programs as Seraph, Sati, and the Oracle. With the Oracle taken over, Smith gains the sight. Neo faces off with Smith (the final battle) who claims he has foreseen beating Neo. Meanwhile The Matrix continues to deteriorate and heavy rainstorms are everywhere.
Neo finally chooses to give himself up, he lets Smith take him over. By providing the Machine City with a direct link to Smith, he is deleted once and for all.
Smith's last words: "Oh, no, no, no. No, it's not fair."
Characters that have been possessed by Smith (chronologically organized)
In the first movie we see Smith as a program controlled by The Matrix to help it fighting against the Zionists. He has some abilities unable for humans to reach. They are used to control The Matrix. Smith has been erased, being replaced by “upgrades”. As the programs suppose to do, they return to the Source. But they can choose to go by the way of Exiles. Smith does this. Supposedly Smith is so important to the machines because he has very rare code… (Just like humans gave AI to machines) He is a way B1-66ER, the first machine to reject the humans.
Like the Oracle tells Neo, he is Neo's opposite, his negative, the result of the equation trying to balance itself out. But this really does not touch the true depth of what Smith truly is.
Smith is an Arch-Agent, simply the elite of the Agents. He tells Morpheus that humans are a desease, multiplying throughout an area until all its rescources have been consumed, then moving on to the next area to occupy.
When he returns, he has become exactly what he described the humans as. A virus. He moves to an area, multiplies(clones himself), and once all the people or programs in the area have been taken over, he moves on to another area, repeating the process. This is not confined to the Matrix, seeing as how he takes over Bane's body and can enter the real world in Bane's body.
In program terms, he is not a normal virus. He is the most deadly virus of all. A worm, meaning he can operate inside and outside of the Matrix.
By his own logic, he has become the only human character in the trilogy. He does exactly what he describes as human behavior, making him a "human" so to speak.
Agent Jones is an agent under smiths command
When Neo and Trinity get to the rooftop of the government building, he posseses a guard to kill Neo, Neo in turn empties a clip at Jones which Jones easily dodges. Then Jones shoots back, this is the first time we see Neo attempt to free his mind and he dodges most of the bullets. Jones is then shot by Trinity, whom he hasn't been aware of.
He seems to be the most cold-minded agent of the whole trio. When Agent Brown wants to run and help Agent Smith, who has been easily beaten by Neo in the hallway, Agent Jones stops him with his arm (we see this scene at the background) - presumably realizing that it would be dangerous, as Neo is indeed an anomaly. Both remaining agents then run away from Neo. It is unknown what happens to them next; presumably they are upgraded, given new names and new appearance.
An upgraded Agent.
Agent Thompson fought Trinity in her attempt to save Neo and Morpheus in the key mission, because she was worried about them. Agent Thompson fought Trinity until the edge of the building and out of the window, shooting at each other while falling down. During that sequence, Trinity was shot by Agent Thompson, and rescued just before she was about to crash a car.
The Keymaker is the personification of Knowledge:
The Keymaker is a program designed to make keys for everything, including the programming doors and the Source. His purpose was to give Neo the key to the Source as well as tell him what to do and lead him to it.
He has been prisoner to the Merovingian for sometime before the Oracle discovers his whereabouts. Cain and Abel let him escape and then take the key meant for the One from him in the backdoors. The Merovingian has him recaptured and the key destroyed, but he makes another. Persephone leads Neo and the gang to the Keymaker. They free him and help him escape from the agents who want to delete him as well as the Twins who want the Keymaker back for the Merovingian. After he gives them instructions and leads them to the door, he is shot by many Smiths.
The "daughter" of the programs Rama-Kandra and Kamala she is the personification of awareness. Sati is a little girl scheduled for deletion due to her lack of purpose. Rama saves his daughter by giving the Merovingian the termination codes to the Oracle's outer shell. In exchange, the Merovingian has Sati smuggled into the Matrix through Mobil Avenue. She is put under the care of the Oracle and the protection of Seraph. During her stay with the Oracle, Smith spreads and takes over everyone, including Sati. After Smith is defeated, Sati reverts back to normal in the streets of the matrix. She causes a sunrise in memory of Neo.
It's interesting to note that "Sati" in the Hindi language is the act of a wife cremating herself on her husband's funeral pyre, sacrificing herself to fulfill her true role as a wife. I'm not sure what this says about Sati's role in the Matrix, but it raises some interesting notions, particularly the idea of making the ultimate sacrifice in order to accomplish what's expected of you.
"Sati" in Sanskrit means "being", and it is this meaning that is probably intended. Many Buddhist and Hindu meditation groups refer to sati as a state similar to nirvana, ie, the ultimate transcendence. This alludes to a Buddhist philosophy about meditation, how one should stop resisting one's negative impulses in a meditative state to control them. In the same way, Neo stopped fighting Smith (his "opposite", his dark half) and gave in to him, thus saving the Matrix. As long as the two fought each other, neither could win. As soon as Neo stopped acting and simply "is", he defeated Smith and Sati could have a place in the world.
Rama-Kandra is a program designed to be the systems manager for recycling operations at the power plant which relates to reincarnation. He and his wife Kamala have a daughter named Sati who is scheduled for deletion due to a lack of purpose. Rama-Kandra believes in karma and love. He is able to love his daughter and wife although he is not quite programmed for such emotions. In order to save her, Rama sells the deletion codes for the outer shell of the Oracle to the Merovingian. He does this at the Le Vrai restaurant, where Neo watches Rama-Kandra being led out as he enters. In exchange for the Oracle's codes, Sati is smuggled into the matrix through Mobil Avenue where she will be put under the care of the Oracle. Rama encounters Neo in Mobil Avenue when he is awaiting the Loop train to pick them up.
'Rama-Kandra' is most likely derived from Ramachandra, who is the seventh incarnation of Vishnu in Hinduism. Vishnu is a form of God, for Vaishnavas, He is the only Ultimate Reality or God, as is Shiva for Shaivites. In Trimurti belief, He is the second aspect of God in the Trimurti (also called the Hindu Trinity), along with Brahma and Shiva. In Hindu mythology Kamala is an incarnation of the goddess Lakshmi, the eternal consort of the Supreme Lord Vishnu. There is a theory that Neo's meeting with Rama-Kandra symbolizes that he is Parashurama, the sixth incarnation (as he is the sixth One).
Kamala is the wife of Rama-Kandra and the mother of Sati. She is a program, a highly creative interactive software programmer. She meets Neo in Mobil Avenue, where they are awaiting the Loop train to arrive to take their daughter Sati into the matrix.
In Hindu mythology Kamala is an incarnation of the goddess Lakshmi, the eternal consort of the Supreme Lord Vishnu.
The Trainman is the personification of Time which is controlled by the Merovingian who represents the Mind. The Trainman built Mobil Ave and controls the Loop Train that goes from Mobil Ave to the Matrix. Mobil Avenue is used to smuggle exiled programs into the matrix.
Niobe meets the Trainman in a train station right before she jacks out after saving Axel. Trainman tells her that Zion lasted exactly 72 hours in the last reload cycle.
While smuggling the last exile, Sati, into the matrix, the Trainman discovers Neo has ended up in his domain. Neo tries to threaten the Trainman, but the Trainman punches Neo into a wall, demonstrating that this place is separate from the matrix and follows his rules. Trinity confronts the Merovingian and forces him to free Neo, so the Trainman brings him back to the matrix.
The trainman has 7 different watches on his left arm, which he uses to time the trains in the matrix. He is armed with a Revolver that is located the left pocket of his long coat.
The Trainman is the personification of Time. He is controlled by the Merovingian who is the personification of the Mind. His situation is reminiscent of Charon from Greek myths who sailed souls across the river Styx to the afterlife (hell mostly).
He also symbolizes the role of a firewall for The Matrix in the computing sense, restricting and controlling the flow of data (programs such as Sati and 'people' such as Neo)
The Twins are a pair of identical albino programs with the ability to become transparent and ghostlike, allowing them to glide through everything. After going into ghost-mode, any injuries they may have had are instantly corrected. They are exiled programs and serve the Merovingian. They attempt to retrieve the Keymaker for him, but fail when Morpheus blows up their car and sends them flying.
The Twins used the "Heckler&Koch UMP 45" scoped submachine gun to shoot at Morpheus' car on the highway.
The twins are hard to tell apart but it isn't impossible. Looking closely, Twin One can be seen to have a lighter colored collar than Twin Two.
Also an interesting note, the twins seem to fight as one, in constant knowledge of each other's movements. They also speak in the plural sense, as is evident by the quotes "we owe you for that" and "we are getting aggrivated..." "...yes, we are." a well as other lines that they say.
Characters Continued.
Cain
Cain and Abel are two of the Merovingian's henchmen. They are from an older version of the Matrix and resemble creatures from Vampire and Werewolf myths due to their resilience to death by anything other than a silver bullet. They want to use the key designated for the One for their own purposes. They leave the Keymaker's prison door unlocked and follow him into the hallway of doors, where they steal the key made for the One at gunpoint. Abel gets cold-footed and tells the Merovingian that they have the key, who destroys it. Persephone later leads Neo and the gang into a room where Cain and Abel are watching a Vampire movie. Persephone shoots Abel in the head with a silver bullet and allows Cain to run to the Merovingian to tell him what she has done. When Cain returns with the Merovingian, Neo fights him along with other thugs. Cain gets thrown into a statue at the very beginning of the fight, taking him out of commission.
Symbolism
Mouse
The youngest member of the Nebuchadnezzar crew, Mouse is the personification of sexuality. Mouse makes programs for the training systems and ponders the important questions such as how the machines knew what Tasty Wheat tasted like. He enjoys the 'company' of the woman in the red dress he created for a training program. Mouse finds out too late that the system had been altered due to Cypher's betrayal and finds a brick wall where a window should've been. He goes down in a blaze of glory firing at the enemy soldiers.
Cypher
Cypher is a rebel aboard the Nebuchadnezzar who regrets taking the red pill. He has operator skills and is able to rig an automated program to allow himself entry into the Matrix in solitude. There he meets with Agent Smith in and makes a deal to be reinserted into the Matrix in exchange for the delivery of Morpheus.
This is the conversation they have:
Cypher sets up a trap for the Nebuchadnezzar crew after Neo's meeting with The Oracle. Cypher is the first one out of the Matrix and uses a plasma rifle to fry Tank and Dozer. He then begins unplugging the rebels one by one, leaving them dead. He kills Apoc and Switch, but before he unplugs Neo, Tank takes the plasma rifle and shoots Cypher down.
Councillor Hamann
Hamann is a councilor on the Zion council. He and Neo have trouble sleeping while at Zion, so they go to the industrial level and have a conversation about control. He later clears the Nebuchadnezzar to enter the Matrix so they could contact the Oracle, despite Commander Lock's wishes.
The Kid
The Kid is a teenager who has dreams of falling. Neo talks to him through computer chats and he deeply believes in him. At his school, agents come for him and he goes on the run through the building, using his skateboard. He finds himself climbing up the side of the school, but the agents wait for him on the roof. He jumps and his belief is so strong that he wakes up in the real world (the only known case of self-ejection out of the Matrix). He believes Neo had saved him, when he had really saved himself.
Now he follows Neo around and wants to join the Nebuchadnezzar crew. He volunteers as a soldier in the battle for the dock and is given the position of APU ammo reloader. He is sent in when Captain Mifune runs out of ammo. He manages to reload Mifune's APU despite a temporary jam in the ammo cartridge, but fresh ammo is not enough to save Mifune from a swarm of sentinels. With his last dying breath, Mifune tells him that he must open gate 3 to allow the Mjolnir to enter. He takes Mifune's APU and pilots it over to the gate to shoot out the counterweights. When the war ends, He runs to the temples to inform the rest of Zion.
His name before he escapes from the Matrix is "Michael Karl Popper".
New Information: "The Kid" is currently an operative inside of the Matrix, it is widely believed that The Kid is the leader of a suspected organization E Pluribus Neo, recent survailence photographs seem to confirm this.
Commander Lock
The commander of Zion's military, Lock doesn't believe in prophecies and has a serious bone to pick with Morpheus. Lock is known as Deadbolt to the captains due to his reputation as a hardass. He and Niobe are currently together, though she is drifting away from him and he knows it. He tries to keep all the ships at Zion in order to perform a counter attack against the oncoming sentinel army, but the Council allows the Nebuchadnezzar to go to the Oracle and later allows the Vigilant and the Logos to search for the Neb. Lock's attack may have worked if Bane hadn't triggered the EMP early.
Lock is one of the few characters in the real world who has a first name - Jason.
Many of the Zionists and freed minds call him Deadbolt behind his back.
Personal Opinion: Commander Butt-Chin as he is so often called could fall off the face of Zion tomorrow and no one would care.
Niobe
Morpheus' former lover, Niobe is the captain of the Logos. Once Morpheus became obsessed with the prophecy and finding the One, Niobe split up with him and eventually hooked up with Commander Lock. Their relationship is faltering as Niobe begins to realize that she still has feelings for Morpheus. She is considered the best pilot of the Zion fleet. Niobe and Ghost are responsible for getting the transmissions from the Osiris that show the oncoming army. Lock had the council put all the ships in the sentinel counter attack except for the Logos, because he said that it being the smallest ship, it would have the weakest EMP. Niobe knows that this isn't true and is angered that Lock would do that, so she volunteers to look for the Nebuchadnezzar when the council requests for 2 ships. She aides them in saving the Keymaker by catching Morpheus with her car when he falls off of the truck. She later takes out the power plant to shut down the security systems on the building that contains the door to the source. After exiting into the real world, swarms of sentinels threaten the ship, forcing the crew of the Logos to fly into uncharted areas where they become stranded after using their EMP on the sentinels. Later, on Revolutions she helps Neo reach the Machine City by letting him take the Logos.New Information: It is widely assumed that Captain Niobe and Morpheus were back together at the time of his demise. Currently Niobe is the leader of her own organization inside of Zion nick-named by some "Niobes Vendeatte". The organization is devoted to get revenge on Morpheus' killer. She is the captain of the newly reformed Logos II, her communications officer is Merrit.
If any of you have important information on story-related characters(Be it player event or LET) please submit them to me VIA PM and I will post them and give credit to you, thank you.
I am going to go to sleep now ^_^; Unless the mods/players find this annoying I will continue to add to this topic.
Basically, I am just doing this for people to be able to recap things without rewatching all three movies and the Animatrix and such. And for people who have not seen Animatrix.
Just think of it as Dridiens little archive of information eh?
Please, feel free to post comments if you like.
