Not much is said about the rebellious cyberpunk. He pretty much goes by his own rules, and it’s no surprise as he fights, and cheats, in the Games. When Enzo was recovering from Zaytan somewhere in the Net, that was when they first met. Enzo grew fascinated and enthralled with him as he showed him Gun. He uses it mostly in First-Person-Shooter Games which is his specialty. He was deleted during a Revolutionary War Game by the User, Cornwalis, and through his dying breath, he wanted Enzo to keep Gun as a memento and keep his format with him. His legacy was then passed onto him as he eventually developed into the anti-hero, Matrix.
Whether his name means radical, as in something retro or a complete, thorough change of action, he did give Enzo a new life and meaning.
Trivia[]
- It was unfair the series never highlighted exactly how Enzo became Matrix. So Ikran had this idea from a dream she had; Rad was inspired by Edward Scissorhands, only with guns instead of scissors, even the signature Gun, and he gave it to Enzo who soon became Matrix. Rad too was a Renegade before Enzo became one. The dream had a lobby where AndrAIa, Frisket, and Akari waited, till Enzo recovered and met Rad.
- His ideal VA was Greg Abbey, the same guy who played Tristan in Yugioh, and Rick Wheeler in F-Zero.
