Cypher (Earth-7954)

"You know.. I know this steak doesn't exist. I know when I put it in my mouth; the Matrix is telling my brain that it is juicy, and delicious. After nine years.. you know what I realize? Ignorance is bliss."

Biography
Born in the Matrix as Carlos, Cypher was freed from the alternate dimension by Morpheus and the hacker of the Nebuchadnezzar. There, he fell in lust with fellow crew member and first mate Trinity, although he never told her that.

His job was to free humans trapped in the Matrix, a job he took very seriously. However, with time, he became disgusted with how humanity was in the real world in comparison to the Matrix, and found discomfort being on Zion and the ruins of Earth. He eventually came to obsess over the idea of having a luxurious life in the Matrix once more, but he always kept that a secret.
