I've been playing through Path of Neo and I recently got onto the Redpill missions, and found them quite an interesting addition to the storyline. I like the girl who gets stuck in Club Hel- what were those guys guarding her, they looked like they could be "troll" programs, though they were probably lupines. But the one I found most interesting was Chuang Tzy, since this isn't the first time we've met this broom wielding agent beating bluepill. Chuang Tzu featured in Matrix comics one, where he held off agents to let a redpill escape via his phone, seems like the same guy, but here's the twist- in the comic the agents recover and kill him- what's going on here? There's a load of dialogue in the comic about Tzu thinking he's a butterfly,  and in the game about him debating with a skull about death so did he somehow escape his death? What do you think?

If it's revealed later in the game don't tell me but otherwise pass on your thoughts

I don't recall Chuang Tzu in PoN wielding a boom, though. They appear to be two different characters.

Both characters are inspired by the actual Chuang Tzu. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuang_Tzu

It's possible they are two different characters, though they seem extremely similar in apearance and ability to me, are the Wachowskis trying to make a different story for him here?

Oh, I just realized which one you're talking about.


That guy was a bluepill? Daaaaaaaang! Can you say "Ultra Agent Humilitiation 2.0"?


I can't remember, did Neo free him at the end, or did they part ways with some sort of weird formal bowing and blah blah blah?

The former. That part of the game was about freeing people from the Matrix. Plus, at the end, Neo tells Morpheus that they're on their way.
