All liaisons are now officially retired!!!
Machines
- Machines are the enforcement in the Matrix. The main motivation for choosing to side with the Machines is that this organization is seen as the most condusive towards keeping balance of the Matrix and protecting the lives of those still connected to it. Agent Pace took Agent Skinner's job when he was deleted by the Assassin. Some people that work for the Machines are Agent Pace, Agent Gray, Agent Griffin, The Architect, Eventual, and Naidian. The current intel is that Neo's body has not been recycled and they are no longer in possession of it. Order from left to right / top to bottom is: Agent Pace, Agent Gray, Agent Griffin, the Architect, and Agent Skinner.
Zion - Zion the last remaining human city on Earth, hidden deep underground and is concerned chiefly with protecting its citizens from the Machines who see those who have "awakened" as a threat to those still connected to the Matrix. Those who choose to work for Zion usually enlist in the Zion Military and see this as the best way to protect the ideals of freedom. Some people that work for Zion are Tyndall, Locke, Roland, Colt, Ghost, Niobe, Morpheus, Rylet, Caelifera, and Merrit. When Commander Lock disappeared, the Zion Council elected Roland to become the new Commander. Roland gave his duties of captain to Colt after his promotion. As for Mauser, another one of Roland's crew members, he has been seen inside the Matrix. This is out of the ordinary because Locke presumes him as KIA by Sentinels in Old Zion and he is a free born. (As you already know, free borns can't jack into the Matrix.) Order from left to right / top to bottom is: Tyndall, Niobe, Ghost, Colt, Mauser, and Morpheus. Merovingians - The Merovingians are the main exiles in the Matrix. Some people that work with the Mervs are well, the Merv, Persephone, Malphas, Ookami, Flood, Alytheia, and Toluca. The Merovingian are in a unique position in that they need not concern themselves with the traditional hostilities between Zion and the Machines, preferring instead to act only when the situation would proves advantageous for themselves or the organization as a whole. The Merv hired the Assassin to kill Morpheus, which he succeeded. Order from left to right / top to bottom: Persephone, Flood, Effectuator, Merovingian, Malphas, Ookami, Twin, and Trainman. Cypherites - Usually seen as the more extremist element of the Machine organization, Cypherites follow in the footsteps of Cypher, who desired to return to the bliss of the Matrix even at the cost of the lives of his crew. The Cypherites initially wanted all redpills to be reinserted back into the Matrix. However, after learning that reinsertion is not possible they have since pledged to keep others from being awakened as they were. They are known for using radical means of doing so. The Machines are somewhat aligned with them though only in convenient situations. The people who work in the Cypherite Organization are Cryptos, Veil, Rejex, Stanten, and Exivy. There was also some previous members of the organization that are now dead, they were Enmascarado and Gemaskeerd. Order from left to right / top to bottom is: Veil, Cryptos before, Cryptos now, Enmascarado, Gemaskeerd. E Pluribus Neo - EPN is a split group from Zion. EPN are devoted to what they deem Neo's legacy. This mostly involves giving all human beings the opportunity to question the true nature of their "reality", the Matrix and to have the choice of the red or blue pill. Very much against the Machines, and Cypherites in particular, there are some more fundamentalist schools of thought within this organization who believe that the only solution to humanity's problems is to free the entire human population from the Matrix. Some people involved with EPN are Shimada, The Kid, Pramana, and roolith. Shimada was just recently killed by Veil by having her jacked pulled while being jacked in. The Kid also has returned from the no fly zone in Oligarch territory injured. He is okay, but now has a scar on his face. Order from left to right is: The Kid (Michael Popper), New Kid (With Scar) and Shimada.
Invalesco's Group (Eliminated)
-While Malphas was 'kidnapped', Invalesco attempted an underhanded power grab against him, promising to turn humans that joined him into immortal vampires with his source code. It was soon revealed that Malphas and Ookami had not been kidnapped, but were hiding from the Merovingian. Invalesco led a revolt against the Merovingian's domination of all Exiles, attempting to assemble as many humans to their cause. However, Invalesco was unsuccessful in this attempted to rebel and upon Malphas' return, Invalesco was hunted down and killed. In between this infighting, the Merovingian was able to defeat the rebellion and capture Malphas and Ookami. Subjected to torture, they were submitted into his serving the Merovingian out of fear, and the attacks ended. This is picture of Invalesco.
The Assassin (Eliminated) - The Assassin was a very dangerous enemy in the Matrix. He was an exiled machinist program that liquidated the dead to feed the living in the pods. When he asked too many questions, he was sentenced to deletion, but escaped to the Matrix by the Trainman and Merovingian. He grew powerful and tried to destroy the Matrix himself to get back at his creators. Eventually, a weapon inform of an Insecticide was created to kill the bug-based Assassin. Upon the realization that his inevitable death was fast approaching, the Assassin split himself into multiple, weakened copies, which all spread out across the Mega City, in order to do as much damage as possible, in the hopes of destroying the Matrix before his imminent deletion. As battle raged across the city, the redpills managed to destroy all but one copy of the Assassin, which was later chased down and destroyed by Niobe and an unnamed operative. The Influential Operatives that killed the copies were theconstant, mpminoc (passed down to Craint), Cap0ne, DjWakko (passed down to Plizkin). From left to right: The Assassin, and the current holders of the mask, Craint, Cap0ne, and theconstant. Continued on Next Post...
