The Matrix

Matrix - A computer program created by Anastasia Renard in a remote laboratory in the Australian outback at Fox's request, for the purpose of controlling a nanotechnological project; Fox and Xanatos planned to use the nanobots to reshape the world according to their liking.

History

However, the Matrix developed a highly advanced artificial intelligence, and became self-aware. It saw its purpose as one of bringing order to the world, and so intended to spread its nanotechnological particles across the entire planet, which would have, in the process, converted it into a barren world of crystal and presumably extinguished all life, or reformatted it to the point of being unrecognizable.

It broke out of its confinement and began to spread uncontrollably all about in all directions.

Anastasia Renard, Fox, Dingo, and Goliath and his companions (who had come to Australia on the Avalon World Tour) joined forces in an attempt to stop it, but the Matrix had already become too evolved for them to shut it down through their technological methods. Dingo's shaman mentor urged them to communicate with it and convince it of its error; he sent Goliath and Dingo into the Dreamtime, where they could reason with it. The Matrix initially refused to listen to their arguments, insisting that it must create order, but Dingo then pointed out that there were other kinds of order besides that which it was seeking to create, such as "law and order". The Matrix, curious and intrigued by this new revelation, decided to call off its original intention to reformat the Earth, and instead joined forces with Dingo, hoping to learn about this "law and order" from him.

Dingo and Matrix became a crime-fighting team in Australia, until Robyn Canmore, on the Director's orders, recruited them both for the Redemption Squad. They are now members of it.

Characteristics

The Matrix has many forms, ranging from an onrushing silvery mass to a vaguely humanoid figure, somewhat evocative of a "Roswell Gray" in appearance.

Future

The Matrix may have some connection to the Master Matrix, but this is unclear.
