History Characters / TheMatrixZion

* GeneralRipper: He claims he would be willing to put a gun into the hands of ''everyone'' in Zion to take down the Machines. Considering what's in store for the humans if the Machines win, it's somewhat understandable ''why'' he has that attitude.

** He's also not wrong when he chews out Morpheus, Niobe and Roland for detonating an EMP inside Zion's docks: it may have saved the humans temporarily, but it also obliterated any defences the humans had in place, ensuring the next attack from the machines will take the dock unopposed. [[note]]Although in fairness to the crew of the ''Hammer'', their radio had been destroyed by the Sentinels while passing through the maintenance tunnel, meaning there was no way to relay to them that using an EMP inside Zion would only give short-term gains.[[/note]]

* MeaningFulName: Named after famous Austrian-British philosopher Karl Popper.

* BusCrash: [[spoiler: Implied during ''Resurrections''. While Lock isn't mentioned, his absence from IO and the passage of 60 years implies he's passed away in the interim. However, because he's never mentioned, it's left unclear whether or not died when Zion fell.]]

[[folder:Captain Ajax]]

Captain of the ''Gnosis''.
