List Of Programs And Machines In The Matrix Series

See Also: Agent (The Matrix)

Agents are a group of Anti-virus Programs within the Matrix , guarding the Matrix from anyone or anything that could reveal it as a false reality.

Original Agents

, and Jones]]

Three agents originally appeared in ''The Matrix''. Smith also appears in the following movies, though not as an Agent.

Agent Brown

Agent Brown is one of the original Agents . He chased Trinity across the roof in the first scene of ''The Matrix''. After Agent Smith was believed to be destroyed, the Machines upgraded their agent programs, making Agent Brown obsolete. Presumably, he was deleted. Brown also appeared in the comic story "There Are No Flowers in the Real World" presumably set prior to the events of ''The Matrix''.

Agent Jones

Agent Jones is one of the original agents. He is the agent shooting at Neo in the famous scene where he dodges bullets and is one of the few characters to appear in both the Matrix comics and one of the Matrix movies. He was presumably deleted when the agent programs were upgraded.

Agent Smith

See Also: Agent Smith

Agent Smith lead agents Brown and Jones in a mission against the ''Nebuchadnezzar'' and was "killed" by Neo. Instead of returning to the Source to be deleted, he chose to become an exile and caused havoc throughout the Matrix. No longer as an Agent, he increased his powers by taking over new human bodies and programs alike (including Agents) without leaving his previous body, replicating himself much like a computer virus might. He later became the "opposite" of the equation, according to the Oracle , meaning that he was the opposite of Neo.

Upgraded Agents

, and Thompson.]]

In ''Reloaded'', the agent programs were upgraded. Their shells are more muscular than the original agents and they are able to block a blow from Neo, who previously had no trouble defeating the agents.

Agent Johnson

See Also: Agent Johnson

Agent Johnson is one of the upgraded agents and also appears to be the leader. He referred to Neo as being “Only Human”, by which he meant that Neo wasn’t as powerful as the prophecy states. Then he, along with the other agents, tried to defeat Neo. In the "Freeway Chase" he was almost successful in eliminating the Keymaker and killing Morpheus.

Agent Thompson

Agent Thompson is one of the upgraded agents. During the "Burly Brawl" between Neo and ex-Agent Smiths, Smith possesses Agent Thompson. Only the host is overwritten and Thompson returns. He later confronts, shoots and kills Trinity at the end of ''Reloaded.'' However, Neo rescues her and subsequently resurrects her using his powers as the One.

Agent Jackson

Agent Jackson is one of the upgraded agents of the Matrix. He and Agent Johnson join '''The Twins''' in an attempt to kill the Keymaker, Trinity, and Morpheus. He returns later to help Agent Thompson fight Trinity at the end of ''Reloaded''.

Other Agents

Many other agents have appeared in the Animatrix and the Matrix comics. Agents Ash, '''Bird''', '''Finn''', and '''White''' are the only agents named there, but others have appeared as well. Along with other Agents in the game ''The Matrix: Online'', Agents '''Skinner''' and '''Pace''' (a female agent) are named.

THE ARCHITECT

See Also: Architect (The Matrix)

The Architect is first encountered by Neo appearing as a manicured, humorless bureaucrat sitting in a room whose walls are covered by television screens in a pivotal scene in '' Matrix Reloaded ''. These TV screens also appeared in 'The Matrix' when Neo is sitting in the interrogation room. Although the Architect is not seen, it is implied that he was watching the interrogation. He reveals himself to Neo as being the creator of the Matrix and is played by Helmut Bakaitis . A sentient Computer Program , he appears as a white-bearded old man (bearing a vague similarity to some Christian depictions of God and also to Colonel Sanders , plus diametrically opposed to the preferred shell of the Oracle, that of a black woman). In an extended period of convoluted dialogue, the Architect explains that his role is to "balance the equation" of the Matrix.

B1-66ER

B1-66ER was a machine during the time before the Matrix when humans still controlled the machines. He killed his master and another man and claimed it was in self defense, because they were planning to have him destroyed. He was declared guilty and was destroyed, leading to the genocide of many other machines and eventually the war and the Matrix.

This machine is first mentioned and introduced into The Matrix series during The Animatrix episode The Second Renaissance .

DEUS EX MACHINA

Deus Ex Machina is an entity which appears near the end of '' The Matrix Revolutions '' in the Machine City . It communicates with Neo by causing a swarm of insect-like robots to form the face of a baby in front of its own body, which resembles a mechanical star.

Neo is able to cut a deal with him; Neo will defeat the program Smith (who has become a serious threat to both the Matrix and the machines in the real world) and the machines will accept a truce with Zion. After a duel in the Matrix, Neo submits to Smith, allowing the rogue program to copy himself over him. Now directly connected, the Deus Ex Machina sends a surge through Neo/Smith that affects him and all of his copies, completely erasing Smith.

Many viewers believed the Deus Ex Machina to be the same character as the Architect. However, the Architect said that he would never meet Neo again.

Another argument against this theory is the rage with which Deus responds to Neo's offer of help. This has been much commented on, as the tone of Deus is both one of rage, and fear. The machines were created by mankind fought a war and won - and yet, could neither destroy nor eventually do without man. Here they are confronted with a ultimate threat of their own creation - Smith - and once more man is both the saviour of them and of himself. They thus fear and desire Neo at once, and this produces the reaction of Deus to Neo.

The Architect always appears cold and collected, and such a loss of control for him, if he were Deus would be uncharacteristic, to say the least. It seems that the Deus Ex Machina is a physical representation of the machine collective, while the Architect is a program in charge of the Matrix.

The name is actually a play on the Latin expression Deus Ex Machina . In some Ancient Greek Drama , an apparently insoluble crisis was solved by the intervention of a God , often brought on stage by an elaborate piece of equipment. This "god from the machine" was literally a deus ex machina. The term deus ex machina is still used for cases where an author uses some improbable (and often clumsy) plot device to work his or her way out of a difficult situation.

KAMALA

Kamala is an interactive software programmer played by Tharini Mudaliar . In The Matrix Revolutions, Neo meets Kamala and her husband Rama Kandra, whom he has a conversation with, at the Mobil Avenue train station, along with their daughter Sati, before they are to enter the Matrix. She tends to Sati as Neo and Rama Kandra are talking. An "interactive software programmer" would be a program that writes the sentient programs such as the Oracle herself, which might explain how she and her husband could have possessed the deletion codes for the Oracle's shell. This also explains how she "gave birth" to Sati.

The name Kamala is derived from Kamalatmika . In Hindu Mythology Kamala is the tenth and final Mahavidyas , the "Great Knowledge". She is the introduction of Femininity into the world and the personification of Fertility . She may alternatively be known as the goddess Lakshmi .

THE INSTRUCTOR

First appearing in the short film, '' The Second Renaissance '', the Instructor is a sentient feminine program in the '''Zion Historical Archives'''. It narrates accessed data, including the known history of the ''' Man-Machine War ''' presented in '''Historical File 12-1'''. Since it is seemingly sympathetic to both humanity and the Machines (it never takes either side, but remains neutral and gives it prayers to both), it is probable that the Instructor and the Archives themselves are both either created by the Machines or are Exile programs (likely the former). One of its most famous quote is simply, ''"May there be mercy on Man and Machine for their sins."''

THE KEYMAKER

The Keymaker is a Computer Program taking the form of an older Asia n man (portrayed by Randall Duk Kim ) imprisoned by The Merovingian. Neo, Morpheus and Trinity free him with the help of the Merovingian's disaffected wife, Persephone.

The Keymaker appears to be one of the most valuable and sought-after programs in the Matrix. He apparently played a central role in the early construction of the Matrix, as seen by his control over the maze of hidden corridors that connects doors in the Matrix to each other in a Linear fashion. This bears little correspondence to the proximity of the doors in the "real world" of the Matrix (seen by many as a reference to the contrast between the highly-ordered Program Structures of source code in a High-level Programming Language and the jumbled-looking Assembly Code that underlies it). It is implied that the ability to transport at will from one building to another in the Matrix was necessary before the current Matrix was fully formed (as when Debugging an incomplete and massive program), but his continued access to these Backdoor s is now seen as a dangerous vulnerability, and the current generation of Agent s places a high priority on terminating him.

The Keymaker's cell in the Merovingian's complex is literally covered with walls of keys, and he is constantly creating more, using the tools of an old-fashioned locksmith; presumably the keyring he wears allows him to access far more locks than the number of keys he physically carries would grant, as he is seen to always have the key to any door he encounters. Besides having the key for any mundane lock in the Matrix (such as the ignition key for a motorcycle Trinity steals during his rescue) he has an endless supply of keys that link doors to the maze of corridors "behind" the Matrix.

In this manner, the Keymaker and his corridor's are symbolic of the factual existence of "backdoors" in massive software programs today. These backdoors are usually locked and accessed through some means of a carefully selected entry sequence, manipulation of the program, altering of a protected configuration setting, etc.

Several characters, including Seraph and the Merovingian, appear to own such keys and use them to evade observation and capture by Agents, apparently provided by the Keymaker -- a "neutral" program, he seems to provide his keys for use by anyone who claims him and gives him protection, first the Merovingian (from whom Seraph may have obtained keys while working for him), then Neo and his allies.

It is implied that the Keymaker has existed since the earliest incarnations of the Matrix; he therefore has an understanding of the predestined chain of events that happens in order for the Matrix to be "reloaded" each time the One manifests, similar to the Merovingian. He is shown to carry the key that allows access to the Source separately from all his others, on a chain on his neck, in readiness for when he must give it to Neo.

THE MEROVINGIAN

See Also: Merovingian (The Matrix)

The Merovingian (played by Lambert Wilson ) is a powerful and dangerous program with the persona of an elitist and Bourgeois , mannered French gourmet and Power Broker who enjoys fine pleasantries and scintillating banter. He is married to Persephone, who resents his philandering. The Merovingian is the leader of a group of Exiles; he employs The Twins , and others as his henchmen, holds The Keymaker prisoner, and controls The Trainman .
The Merovingian was named for the Merovingian dynasty of Frankish kings.

However, even though the Merovingian has many guards and is thus considered powerful, it is unknown if he has fighting capacity. This is not likely, since the only time when he was face to face with Neo, he fled (in ''Reloaded'', after Neo dispatched his guards).

When The Oracle speaks to Neo of "vampires, ghosts, and werewolves," she is foreshadowing his encounter with the Merovingian and his entourage, which includes programs that appear to be ghosts, vampires, and werewolves, such as The Twins , who can alter their bodies at will to become incorporeal. These henchmen are likely programs that the Merovingian had saved from an older version of the Matrix where they were used to control humans. However, according to Persephone, these monsters created more problems than they solved.

Speculation exists that the Merovingian is some sort of vampire, or even a previous One. The latter is unlikely, as the One is a human and the Merovingian is always described as an ancient program. Some cite that the restaurant Le Vrai is on the one hundred and first floor, a number often seen where Neo frequents. However, the number 5 also appears around Le Vrai, and it could be intended to foreshadow that there had been five Ones before Neo.

There is also speculation from fans that the Merovingian was intentionally created by the Machines as yet another "form of control"; in this case being a program created specifically to contain and control rogue programs within the Matrix. Also, symbolically, the Merovingian may represent the Serpent from the Bible. Based on the allusions in the movie of Persephone (in Greek myth, the kidnapped wife of Hades, god of the underworld) and the name of his nightclub, Club Hel . This evidence also suggests that he may be a program similar to the ghosts and vampires, but instead designed as a personification of two of humanity's "grotesqueries": lust and greed.

The Merovingian's speech that there is "no free will in the world, only lines of causality" closely mirrors the works of the philosopher Thomas Hobbes . Hobbes said that there are only lines of cause and effect in life, and the best one can do is enjoy oneself in life with material pleasures, which the Merovingian does in abundance. This is interesting because Neo and Morpheus seem to represent Socrates in the Matrix trilogy; the Matrix itself could be viewed as a modern-day version of Plato's allegory of the Cave, in which Socrates (in this case Neo) urges people to break out of the Cave that they think is the real world (the Matrix) to be free in the Real World. Hobbes was a major critic of Socrates' works and believed in the exact opposite of his teachings.

THE ORACLE

See Also: Oracle (The Matrix)

The Oracle is a mysterious but powerful figure, played by both Gloria Foster and Mary Alice incongruously depicted as a cheerful old lady. She possesses the power of foresight, which she uses to advise and guide the humans attempting to fight the Matrix's system. 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 Deterministic or not is a concept given much treatment in all three films. She herself claims that she lacks the ability to see past her own choices she doesn't understand. It becomes clear in the films that her power cannot be used to predict the actions of Neo, who possesses genuine Free Will .

The Oracle is played by Gloria Foster in the first two Matrix movies ('' The Matrix '' and '' The Matrix Reloaded '') and by Mary Alice in the third Matrix movie ('' The Matrix Revolutions '') and the video game ('' Enter The Matrix ''). In ''The Matrix Revolutions'' and ''Enter the Matrix'' it is explained that this is because she needed to find another shell to hide from The Merovingian. In reality, Mary Alice played The Oracle because Gloria Foster died of complications from Diabetes before her role in The ''Matrix Revolutions'' was shot.

In the third Matrix movie, the Oracle hints about her purpose, which is to bring imbalance, rather than balance, to the equations that form the Matrix. In that she is opposed to her counterpart, the Architect, who brings balance to the equations that form the Matrix. More specifically, the Oracle'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, ensuring its stability while preventing its destruction. As discovered by Neo, the prophecy is "just another system of control". 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 neither the humans nor the machines ever achieve a permanent victory.

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 a ceasefire can be maintained between the Machines and Zion.

PERSEPHONE

Persephone (played by Monica Bellucci ) is the wife of Merovingian. She is disaffected from her husband due to his Philandering . She is attracted to Neo and offers to help him if he kisses her with the same passion with which he has kissed Trinity . Reluctantly, he complies, and she helps him free The Keymaker.

Persephone also encounters and takes a kiss from both Niobe and Ghost (depending on whose story you follow) in the video game '' Enter The Matrix ''. Based on this behavior, as well as her encounter with Neo in ''The Matrix Reloaded'', some fans have speculated that Persephone is some sort of Empathic Vampire who samples the feelings of others by forcing them to redirect their passion toward her. This is supported by the fact that after kissing Niobe and Ghost she is able to tell that the former still harbors feelings for Morpheus and the latter has an unrequited crush on Trinity.

In ''The Matrix Revolutions'', Persephone is seen briefly and warns The Merovingian that Trinity would indeed kill everyone in Club Hel to free her love, Neo, from Mobil Avenue. She apparently bases this on the strong feelings she felt from Neo's kiss alone.

The character takes her name from the Persephone in Greek Mythology , who is the daughter of Zeus and Demeter whom Hades took to the Underworld to be his queen. There are allusions throughout the movie that The Merovingian works in the Matrix as an analogue to Hades.

RAMA KANDRA

Rama-Kandra or probably Ramachandra (a well known Indian name) is a program working in the real world as the power plant systems manager for recycling operations (played by Bernard White ). It is possible that he may have a physical form as a machine.

In ''The Matrix Revolutions'', Neo meets Rama-Kandra at the train station, along with his wife Kamala and daughter Sati. Sati is scheduled for deletion because she has no purpose, born only out of love. To save her, Rama-Kandra sells the deletion codes for the shell of the Oracle to the Merovingian. He does this at the Le Vrai restaurant, just before the Nebuchadnezzar's crew arrives. In exchange for the codes, Sati is smuggled into the Matrix through the Mobil Avenue train station where she will be put under the care of the Oracle.

Rama-Kandra is apparently a program so advanced as to be capable of love. Although this entails having Free Will , he completely accepts his role, purpose and condition of being, which he refers to as his Karma (his way of saying "what I am here to do"). A more accurate term for this would be Dharma . Thus soon after Sati is safely smuggled into the Matrix, he will not remain with her but instead return to the machine world to resume his responsibilities.

The name Rama-Kandra is a corruption of Rama Chandra , more commonly known as Lord Rama , an Incarnation of the Hindu god Vishnu , and the hero of the epic Ramayana . Vishnu is known as the Sustainer of the Universe, with the universe thought of as a dream ( Maya ) that is sustained in Vishnu's mind. Vishnu also oversees the cycle of Reincarnation . It is likely these two traits that parallel with the character of Rama-Kandra; he manages the power plant that sustains the Matrix (which Morpheus refers to as a dream), and more specifically as per his job description, he oversees the recyling of dead pod humans to be fed to newer ones.

RUNNERS

Runners are seen in the Animatrix short, '' Matriculated ''. They are a type of advanced Machine scout/patrol unit capable of multiple transformation modes. Runners are so named after their function to run over ground instead of the typical hovering that most of the Machines use, since they have no capability to hover and are bound to the ground with their movements (hence their name). They are even able to swim and mostly appear in pairs.

Runners are able to transform to adapt to the needs of the specific situation and environment. For instance, a Runner is able to transform from ''"a tentacled insectoid that walks on four spider-like legs"'' to ''"a form resembling a humanoid that slides along with its head tentacles and uses its legs as arms tipped with huge claws."'' Runners are equipped for close combat with these claws, but when they're facing a larger group of targets or spot rebels, they can drop off a tracking beacon (that alerts the nearest Machines) and retreat, leaving the dirty work to the more powerful Sentinels.

Alexa, a member of a small band of rebels on the surface, led two Runners to their base so they could be converted to the side of humans. One Runner was killed by their guard robot, but the other Runner killed the guard. Alexa then blasted the Runner with a plasma rifle. They then plugged the Runner into their dreamscape where it was converted to serve humans. It was lost in thought when the Sentinels attacked the base. When it finally reacted, everyone and everything was dead except for Alexa who was knocked out. The Runner hooked her and itself into the dreamscape where Alexa panicked and died.

SATI

See Also: Sati (The Matrix)

Sati (played by Tanveer K. Atwal ) is a program created by her "father" Rama Kandra and "mother" Kamala , she appears in '''Reloaded''' and '''Revolutions'''. Sati is scheduled for deletion because she has no purpose, born only out of Love . To save her, Rama-Kandra sells the deletion codes for the Shell of the Oracle to the Merovingian. He does this at the Le Vrai restaurant, just before the crew of the Nebuchadnezzar speaks to the Merovingian. In exchange for the codes, Sati is Smuggled into the Matrix through the Mobil Avenue train station where she will be put under the care of the Oracle, who has gotten a new shell. It also appears that Sati has creative power within the Matrix, as she created an Aurora Borealis in honor of Neo at the end of ''Matrix Revolutions''. Another evidence of this comes from Smith, who after having absorbed Sati apparently claims to have "remade" the Matrix ("''Like what I've done with the place?''").

Sati is named after a Hindu Deity who committed suicide after her parents forbade her marriage. This is probably a reference to her prospected deletion because she does not have a purpose and not a statement about her parents, who both were willing to risk a lot for her.

SENTINEL

A Sentinel is a ''"killing machine designed for one thing... Search And Destroy "'' ( Trinity and Dozer, '' The Matrix ''). Sentinels are also referred to as "squiddies" and "calamari". In addition to a resemblance to the animal of the same name, the former is probably a reference to a SQUID or ''Superconducting Quantum Interference Device'', a device for measuring small electromagnetic fields. SQUIDs were referenced in the story '' Johnny Mnemonic '' by author William Gibson , itself the basis for a film of the same name staring Keanu Reeves .

Sentinels are highly effective scouts and lethal combatants. A standard unit of the Machines, and resembling a black-painted mechanized cross between a shellfish and a cephalopod, these fast and deadly machines rarely appear alone and are a serious threat for every hovercraft. Besides the ability to float over the surface, every single one 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 positioned at the downside of their bulk body: a laser beam that is able to cut through the metal hull of every hovercraft.

A Sentinel unit can perform different types of mission like patrolling in small groups, escorting bigger units or seek & 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 to good effect, 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 EMP to attack them if the ship is spotted. Later in the series, Sentinels appear armed with silverfish-like "tow bombs", which they can launch at a ship while staying out of EMP range.

Sentinels are frequently used by the Machines to destroy human ships and disrupt their operations ('' The Matrix ''), and to raid Zion, the human city ('' The Matrix Revolutions ''). They are equipped with laser cutting beams and have been seen using multiple other devices, including the forementioned suicide "tow bombs" (also called "Silverfish") and enormous drilling Machines (known simply as "Diggers" or "Drillers"). The latter were used to drill through to Zion from the surface, thus avoiding the defenses the Rebels had built into the aproaching tunnels, and opening a path for the Sentinels to invade the city.

A different (although not necessarily new) model of Sentinel is seen in the Animatrix short, '' Matriculated ''. It possessed a humanoid torso, tentacles for arms, a tail but no legs, and a head studded with sensors. It is not to be confused with the Runners, as unlike them, it hovered.

SERAPH

See Also: Seraph (The Matrix)

Seraph (played by Collin Chou ) is the personification of a sophisticated CHAP which guards the Oracle .

In ''The Matrix Reloaded'' and ''The Matrix Revolutions'', Seraph is seen acting as a "guardian angel" of the Oracle. In fact, he refers to himself several times as "Seraph, Guardian of the Oracle," but in actuality he held this position since long before the timeframe in which the first film took place. We also learn from a scene later in the movie that Agent Smith has tried to hunt him before, but Seraph confounded him in these attempts; Seraph also points out that he has "beaten him before," implying that the two may have in fact met on the field of battle before. The scenario is different this time now that Smith has become disconnected from the Matrix and has become an entity unto himself.

Over the course of the ''Reloaded'' and ''Revolutions'' plot arcs, he has three brief altercations with warriors of Zion. The first was with Ballard, which he staged in order to get to know him; the second, with Neo, to prove he was the One. After the conclusion of ''Reloaded'' but before the beginning of ''Revolutions'', Seraph summons Niobe to meet the Oracle. He first tests her with another battle, in order to "test her heart's resolve" (or, more technically, a Challenge-response Authentication ).

In ''Revolutions'', Trinity and Morpheus meet with the Oracle so that she could help them locate Neo. She explains that he lay within a place that was neither the Matrix nor the Real World: a construct created by the Trainman. Seraph, she said, knew how to find him, and would lead them to him. The trio departs to the Megacity's subways. Seraph tracks down the Trainman in short order, but after a short chase and exchange of fire, he escapes. Without further action to take to this end, Seraph deems it right that they should meet the Merovingian, for whom the Trainman worked. The three make their way to Club Hel and have a battle with a number of the Merovingians guards, whom they dispatch with relative ease. They then exchange threats with the Merovingian; Trinity's threat seems to hold greater gravity than the Merovingian's (thanks to a gigantic Mexican Standoff she creates), and he agrees to free Neo. It is during this scene that the Merovingian calls Seraph "Judas," implying that Seraph betrayed the Merovingian as a parallel of Judas betraying Jesus.

Some time later, Seraph flees with Sati from the increasingly more powerful Smith, to little avail. In due course, Smith catches up to them and assimilates them both, adding two more copies of himself to his growing Collective of Smiths. Upon Smith's destruction at Neo's hands, however, all the minds that Smith had infiltrated were freed from his abduction, including Seraph's.

THE TRAINMAN

The Trainman is a program who works for the Merovingian and is aggresively loyal. He created a virtual subway station called Mobil Avenue Station , the ''limbo'' (anagram) between the Matrix and the Real World. Here he is effectively a god and can defeat his enemies with great ease. He also carries a revolver, but isn't a very good shot. With the exception of Neo, no one can enter or leave except on the Trainman's train. He has long, dirty hair, a half-crazed look, and wears numerous watches on one arm, apparently to track the movements of all the trains in the Matrix.

The Trainman may be an Allusion to the ferryman Charon , reinforcing one of the Merovingian's characterizations within the Matrix as a Hades figure. His role in the Matrix may be analogous to that of a Computer Bus .

THE TWINS

In ''The Matrix Reloaded'', The Twins are the two silvery henchmen of The Merovingian who can become translucent and move through solid objects. They are also the 'ghosts' the Oracle mentions while explaining exiled programs to Neo.

The twins are first seen with the Merovingian smoking a Hookah in Le Vrai. They don't speak but smirk at the fact that neither Morpheus, Trinity, or Neo appear to have the same intellect as The Merovingian. Later, when Morpheus and crew free the Keymaker, the Merovingian sends the twins to kill the ' Redpill s' and recapture the Keymaker. They are dispatched by Morpheus when he causes their vehicle to overturn and explode. Whether or not this explosion results in the death of the twins is disputed by Matrix fans; they are shown turning incorporeal as the blast flings them away, and they have demonstrated the ability to heal themselves of bodily injury while incorporeal. Regardless, they are not seen for the rest of the trilogy.

In the '' Enter The Matrix '' video game, which chronicles the stories of the crew of the Logos during ''The Matrix Reloaded'', the twins are shown attempting to stop Niobe and Ghost from escaping the Merovingian's mansion via a car chase in the multi-leveled garage.

Adrian and Neil Rayment are professional carpenters who've done stunt work on a few movies. They were cast as the Twins because the directors and producers wanted male identical twins skilled in martial arts.

Controversy

The portrayed twins received some criticism due to the fact they typically portray Albinos as ''evil'', although not likely intentional to disgrace them by the Wachowski brothers. Myths and stereotypical views reflecting albinos have caused several complaints.

THE WOMAN IN THE RED DRESS

The Woman in the Red Dress is a computer program with long blonde hair and a flowing red dress, created by Mouse used to distract newly woken humans during initial training.

During the agent training program, while Morpheus explains The Matrix, Neo is distracted by the woman. Morpheus asks Neo if he was paying attention, and tells Neo to look at her again. A simulated agent holds Neo at gunpoint and Morpheus pauses the training program to tell Neo about the agents and how they can inhabit the bodies of anyone still plugged into the Matrix, making every "'' Bluepill ''" a threat.

Mouse, after hearing Neo has been through the agent training program, says that if Neo wants he can arrange a meeting, implying that he has also created a program where the user can have sex with her.
Also, shortly before being killed, Mouse can be seen looking at a signed poster of the Woman in the Red Dress.

The character of The Woman in the Red Dress is played by Australia n Fiona Johnson .

The Woman in the Red Dress also makes a brief appearance in The Matrix Online ; during the tutorial program, where she is given the name Scarlett.
