23
24	Captain of the ''Logos'', Niobe is Morpheus' ex-girlfriend who now is dating Commander Locke. Not a believer in Morpheus' prophecy, Niobe does, however, believe in Neo and lends him her ship in the third film to reach the Machine City. She is an AcePilot, driving the ''Hammer'' hovercraft to Zion whilst under attack from an army of Sentinels. Along with Ghost, she's one of the main characters of the video game ''VideoGame/EnterTheMatrix''.
25
26	[[spoiler:In ''The Matrix Resurrections'', an elderly Niobe is a leader in the joint human-machine city of IO and a General in their fleet]].
27	----
28	* AcePilot: Almost everyone views piloting a mechanical pipe as impossible; not only has Niobe done so, she's done it ''twice''. Once in her backstory, and once in the third film using someone else's ship.
29	-->'''Roland:''' Holy Christ, I didn't know this ship could do that! [...] God damn, woman, you can drive!
30	* ActionGirl: So action-y that she even stars in a Matrix video game!
31	* AmbiguouslyBi: Was in a relationship with both Locke and Morpheus in the original trilogy, and is implied to have gotten back together with the latter at the end of the third film. In ''The Matrix Resurrections'', it is implied in one scene that she is in a relationship with Freya, IO's head of botany.
32	* BadassNormal: An ace-pilot and can hold her own against Agents when necessary despite not being the one.
33	* BecameTheirOwnAntithesis: During the Human–Machine war, she is a fiercely independent woman and takes part in a number of risky missions, as especially seen in ''VideoGame/EnterTheMatrix''. By the time of ''Resurrections'', she has become very risk-averse and protective of the fragile peace forged in Io, and disapproves of the similarly independent-minded Bugs. Freya even calls her out on this.
34	* TheBrigadier: Is a General in IO's fleet in ''The Matrix Resurrections''.
35	* TheCaptain: Runs the ''Logos'' in the original trilogy.
36	* CoolShades: A ''Matrix'' trademark.
37	* DeadpanSnarker: Blunt and sarcastic, especially when under duress.
38	* DeathGlare: Toward Sati after she tells her that she did not reveal the situation with Trinity and the Analyst, Sati justifies her reason for this as it bringing about a much harder choice to make having knowing two lives were in Niobe's hands.
39	* GeneralRipper: Downplayed, but present. She relieves Bugs of her duties upon arrival from rescuing Neo against her orders. She was afraid of the impact on Io by mutiny by Bugs when they leave to take Neo to Trinity, but is talked out of it and realizes the gravity of the situation, ordering Bugs and asking for two more volunteers to accompany Neo to attempt to free Trinity after Sati reveals the situation that the Analyst presented. The corps of captains volunteered, much to her shock.
40	* OlderAndWiser: After sixty years since the end of the third film, Niobe has, in her own words, "a few more wrinkles and a few less teeth," and admits to Neo that years of peace with the machines have made her ashamed of the pessimism she had as a younger woman.
41	* SassyBlackWoman: Very sassy, especially against Morpheus and Locke.
42	* WorkingWithTheEx: Niobe gets on well with Morpheus and it's implied they become a couple again at the end of the third film.

53
54	Niobe's NumberTwo, Ghost is the best gunner in Zion. He was released from the Matrix on the same day as Trinity, and has unrequited feelings for her. Along with Niobe, he's one of the main characters of the video game ''VideoGame/EnterTheMatrix''.
55	----
56	* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Ghost's love for Trinity is unrequited due to the latter being in love with Neo.
57	* BadassNormal: Despite not being connected to the Prophecy, he's still talented enough to be the best gunner in Zion outside of the Matrix, and inside of the Matrix is one of the few to have ever killed an Agent. In ''VideoGame/EnterTheMatrix'' he has survived encounters with the Merovingian's thugs and fought Seraph.
58	* CoolShades: A ''Matrix'' trademark.
59	* TheGunslinger: He's known as the best gunner in Zion and he shoots like nobody's business in the Matrix.
60	* LikeBrotherAndSister: Ghost and Trinity see each other as siblings of sort since they were freed from the Matrix on the same day; despite his continued feelings for Trinity, Ghost noted that he felt free when he learned that Trinity would only ever see him as a brother.
61	* NumberTwo: To Niobe.
62	* WarriorPoet: Creator/TheWachowskis described him as an "ascetic Buddhist killer". A student of philosophy, he quotes and/or refers to Hume, William James, Nietzsche and especially Kierkegaard.

87
88	The head of Zion's defensive forces, Commander Lock is quite angry a lot of the time, but wants nothing more than to defend Zion from the Machines, no matter the cost. He's in a relationship with Niobe, expanding on his feud with Morpheus further.
89	----
90	* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: He was at odds with not only the Zion Council when managing the defenses, but with some errant ship captains, ''especially'' Morpheus. He appears to be bureaucratic, taciturn, unimaginative, and uncharismatic; as a result, he is not highly respected by either his subordinates or by the Council. Because of this, many hovercraft crews and some captains derisively refer to him as "Deadbolt" behind his back.
91	* TheBrigadier: He strongly disbelieves in Morpheus' belief in the Oracle's prophecy.
92	* 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 he died when Zion fell.]]
93	* TheChainsOfCommanding: He answers to the council, but he sees the survival of every human in the city as his responsibility. As the Sentinels dig closer and closer, it becomes a heavier burden and makes him pretty testy.
94	* {{Foil}}: To Morpheus; the hard-bitten, pragmatic, and short-tempered Locke is everything that Morpheus is not. Locke was even born in Zion, as opposed to Morpheus (who was liberated from the Matrix).
95	* FourStarBadass: He didn't get to that rank by luck or schmoozing; he kicks some machine butt in the real world.
96	* GeneralFailure: Surprisingly ''Averted'': the ''Mjolnir'' crew explain that Locke analyzed the path the Machine army was going to dig through, and noticed that heavy iron deposits would force them through a choke point, so he ordered a counter-attack on that location before they even got to Zion. The ''Mjolnir'' crew admit that it was actually a good tactical plan - or at least, the best under the circumstances. It might have even done a lot of damage...if Bane hadn't sabotaged the fleet by setting off an EMP before they could even carry it out.
97	* GeneralRipper: When a member of the council expresses incredulity about his plan to deploy half the infantry to the dock, Locke 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.
98	* GoodIsNotNice: He may be the commander of the human forces, but...
99	* HotBlooded: Given that his job is to keep people alive and he's failing, its understandable why he swears a lot.
100	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite having a humorless personality to the point that people call him "Deadbolt" behind his back, Locke genuinely wants to protect Zion. He just has no tolerance for Morpheus' ways and can't understand why the Council keeps supporting him.
101	* JerkassHasAPoint:
102	** While Morpheus is right that they need to talk to the Oracle, Locke is also right to chew out a subordinate for circumventing explicit orders.
103	** 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- in fact, when he brings up how it will cause them to lose the dock, a subordinate says they've ''already lost'' the dock- 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]]
104	--->'''Locke''': The council is waiting for your report. You'll forgive me if I don't attend, but I need to find a way to salvage this debacle.\
105	'''Roland''': [[DudeWheresMyRespect Did I miss something here?]] I thought we just saved the dock.\
106	'''Locke''': That's the problem with you people, you can't think more than five minutes in front of your face. That EMP knocked out almost every piece of hardware and every APU; if I were the machines, I would send every Sentinel I had here right now. Saved the dock, captain? You just handed it to them on a silver platter!
107	* OddNameOut: Locke is the only character born outside of the Matrix to get a full name; everyone else has OnlyOneName.
108	* ThatsAnOrder: Often uses this to get his commands understood.

117
118	-->''"If it's our time to die, it's our time."''
119
120	Commander Lock's NumberTwo. Captain Mifune is much friendlier when compared to Locke, and leads Zion's army of [[AMechByAnyOtherName APUs]].
121	----
122	* AMechByAnyOtherName: Mifune's army consists of armoured personnel unit machines.
123	* BattleCry: "KNUCKLE UP!" the [=APUs=] all arm their cannons and assume a firing stance "FOR ZION!!!" everyone opens fire on the Sentinels
124	* TheCaptain: Mifune leads the APU squadrons, while Lock oversees the overall defense operation.
125	* CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:He is killed during the Machine army's assault on Zion]].
126	* DeathOfAThousandCuts: [[spoiler:He ends up swamped by the swarm of Sentinels, and dies with his body sliced and diced.]]
127	* DefiantToTheEnd: Even when the dock has becoming a dark burning hellscape with only him and twelve other APU's out of hundreds remaining, he still continues fighting and shouting his defiance to the Machines.
128	* FacialHorror: Part of the wounds that kill Mifune is a massive, brutal laceration that cuts clear across his face.
129	* NumberTwo: To Captain Locke.
130	* PassingTheTorch: To Kid to open Zion's doors for the Hammer to arrive.
131	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Is generally much more accepting of how Morpheus bends or outright breaks the rules. He greatly prefers keeping the peace among the ranks than rocking the boat.
132	* RousingSpeech: Gives one to his APU troops.
133	-->''"All right! This is it! Now you all know me, so I'm gonna say this as simply as I can. If it's our time to die, it's our time. All I ask is, if we have to give these bastards our lives... '''we give 'em hell before we do!'''''"
134	* ShoutingShooter: He shouts at the machines as he's {{shooting the swarm}} of them after they managed to overwhelm the defenses of Zion.
135	* UncertifiedExpert: Probably the best APU operator in Zion, but claims [[spoiler:with his dying breaths]] that he never finished the training program.

144
145	The governing body of Zion.
146	----
147	* AscendedExtra: Councilor Grace is a background character in the second movie but has a few lines in the third one.
148	* BigGood: A conglomerate of them, controlling the resistance against the machines, with Dillard and Harmann seeming to have the most authority.
149	* BrutalHonesty: After Lock declares that if it was up to him, he'd have even the women and children of Zion armed and ready to face the machines, Dillard doesn't hesitate to tell him what she thinks of that.
150	--> '''Dillard:''' Perhaps it is best that it's not up to you.
151	* CoolCrown: Dillard wears a hairpiece resembling one.
152	* CoolOldGuy: None of them are young, but Harmman is seemingly the oldest and has a familiar, insightful discussion with Neo pointing out how they need (non robotic) machines in Zion and couldn't survive without them, seemingly wondering if the same is true of the humans The Matrix needs to keep inside.
153	* CoolOldLady: The gray-haired Dillard is one of the more outspoken members of the council, and voices many of their more balanced and reasonable suggestions and orders.
154	* CosmopolitanCouncil: The council is evenly divided between men and women. six of them are black, three are white, two are oriental, and the last member is AmbiguouslyBrown.
155	* TheDanza: Councilor West has the same last name as his actor.
156	* DarkestHour: Their sense of optimism is clearly shaken by the first wave of machines attacking the city and nearly wiping out their defenses.
157	* NiceGuy: All of them are fairly supportive of Zion's forces, and Hamman provides a bit of sage wisdom to Neo.
158	--> '''Harmman:''' There is so much in this world that I do not understand. See that machine? It has something to do with recycling our water supply. I have absolutely no idea how it works. But I do understand the reason for it to work. I have absolutely no idea how you are able to do some of the things you do, but I believe there's a reason for that as well. I only hope we understand that reason before it's too late.
159	* QualityOverQuantity: Harmann tells Locke that their survival depends more than on how many ships they have.
160	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: They give Morpheus what he needs to succeed against the Matrix, believe in Neo, support the various strategies and are willing to take bad news gracefully and then consider the best way to handle it. When they want ships sent to help the Nebuchanezzer, they force Lock to let his captains choose for themselves but don't order anyone to go, merely requesting volunteers.
161	* SelfMadeMan: Harmann spent the first eleven years of his life as a redpill but has since risen up to be the head of the council.
162	* ThatsAnOrder: When Lock snarls that he wishes he was able to comprehend the Council's decision to expend such recourses on Neo, West replies "Comprehension is not a requisite of cooperation."
163	* WastelandElder: Zion is ruled over by a CosmopolitanCouncil of twelve elderly leaders. Each comes across as a ReasonableAuthorityFigure to some degree, particularly Councilor Harmann, a CoolOldGuy who provides some words of advice to Neo before a big mission.

173
174	A young redpill who was freed from the Matrix by Neo and of his own will. Now a TagalongKid, Kid deeply believes in Neo's ability to save mankind and is his biggest supporter. He [[TookALevelInBadass Takes A Level In Badass]] in the third film to defend Zion.
175	----
176	* FallingIntoTheCockpit: Takes over Captain Mifune's APU, despite having never successfully qualified in the sims, [[spoiler:although Captain Mifune claimed that he never qualified in the sims either.]]
177	* HeroicWillpower: Despite his claims that Neo saved him The Kid appears to be a rare to the point of mythical case of "self-substantiation" or someone who forced their way out of the Matrix simply by brute force of willpower rather then being properly extracted. He still credits Neo for making him aware of the truth and setting him on this course.
178	* IOweYouMyLife: Is completely devoted to Neo for freeing him for the Matrix and lives to make him happy (and, by extension, the rest of the crew). Neo finds it somewhat annoying, but Trinity reminds him about what they say about saving someone's life.
179	* KidHasAPoint: When Mifune tries to turf him out of Zion's army on account of the Kid [[ReallySeventeenYearsOld lying about his age to enlist]], the Kid points out that when the Machines invade Zion, they'll kill him (and everyone else in their path), regardless of age. Mifune has to concede the point. Mifune then admonishes Kid to shape up, or else Mifune and the Machines will have a commonality in wanting to kill him.
180	* MeaningfulName: Named after famous Austrian-British philosopher Karl Popper.
181	* TagalongKid: His wide-eyed enthusiasm when introduced and eagerness to fight for Neo's cause seemed tailor-made to let audiences know that he was ''so'' [[SacrificialLamb going to die later on]], however...
182	* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Played for laughs. He greets the crew upon their return to Zion (as he has apparently many times before), prompting Neo to mutter, "Oh, no."
183	* TookALevelInBadass: In the third film he takes up Captain Mifune's APU to cut open Zion's jammed bay doors so the Hammer could enter and light off her EMP, and he lives to tell about it.

192
193	A redpill who is possessed by the rapidly self-replicating Agent Smith in ''Reloaded''. In the real world, the possessed Bane physically harms himself and seeks mankind's destruction. During the films, he uses an EMP to disable a small fleet of hovercraft, preventing Zion's EMP counterattack and allowing the five ships to be destroyed, then attacking Neo and Trinity aboard the ''Logos'', [[spoiler:blinding Neo. He (and the Smith code possessing him) is then decapitated by the blind man.]]

195	* BeardOfEvil: Bane's goatee serves as this once he's overwritten.
196	* CharacterDeath: He is killed when [[spoiler:Neo decapitates him with a pipe.]]
197	* DeathOfPersonality: After being overwritten by Smith in the Matrix, Bane is effectively gone and his body serves as a puppet for Smith.
198	* DemonicPossession: Smith overwrites Bane's Matrix-self and then takes over Bane in the real world through the broadcast connection.
199	* FaceHeelTurn: Not of his own choice.
200	* FantasticRacism: Inhabiting a human body does nothing to reduce it; if anything, this Smith is even more determined to exterminate us.
201	-->''"I admit, it is difficult to even think, encased in this rotting piece of meat. The stink of it filling every breath, a suffocating cloud you can't escape. Disgusting. Look at how pathetically fragile it is. Nothing this ''weak'' [[OmnicidalManiac is meant to survive.]]"''
202	* GoryDiscretionShot: [[spoiler:The shot of Neo beheading Bane is shown from Neo's perspective, with him destroying the Smith code.]]
203	* GrandTheftMe: Has his mind overwritten by Smith.
204	* KickTheDog: Does this to Neo and mankind throughout the films.
205	* ManipulativeBastard: Bane gains Smith's intelligence and deceit.
206	* OffWithHisHead: [[spoiler:Neo braining Bane with a pipe explodes "Smith"'s head from his perspective, as well as beheading Bane's body.]]
207	* SenseFreak: Bane repeatedly cuts himself after being possessed by Smith, allowing the ex-Agent to experience real physical pain for the first time.
208	* SoleSurvivor: After he sabotages the counterattack. The Sentinels slaughter those aboard the five downed ships but spare him, presumably because they can tell who's on the inside.
209	* SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: It takes several "Mister Andersons" and an "I want what you want" for Neo to accept that, yes, Smith has somehow followed him into the human world.
210	-->'''Neo:''' It can't be. It's impossible.\
211	'''Smith:''' Not impossible. [[CatchPhrase Inevitable.]]
212	* WeHardlyKnewYe: Bane gets very little screentime and the audience gets very little sense of his personality before he's assimilated by Smith.
