Morpheus
built 150 days ago
Morpheus (the name of his persona while a bluepill within the Matrix is unknown) is a even-mannered man with a personality that commands respect in many who encounter him. As a result of his belief in the Prophesy, Morpheus devotes "all of his life" in search of The One, the human who will bring an end to the Machine War. Morpheus has become a spiritual figure to many citizens of Zion, much to the consternation of others who don't believe in the Prophesy, such as the natural-born commander of the Zion defense force, Jason Lock.
Morpheus is one of those age old P2P applications and, with support for Gnutella, eDonkey, Bittorrent and many others, probably the most versatile you can find on the market. The new version aims to turn the P2P client into the ultimate multimedia application. Does it succeed?
Once a P2P king, Morpheus has a very rich history. Owned by Streamcast Networks, it started out as MusicCity, an OpenNap client. But for an unknown reason Streamcast Networks decided to ditch the OpenNap network and pay to access an upcoming network named FastTrack.
Morpheus has the ability to take any human's form and appear in dreams. He is the son of Hypnos, the god of sleep. Nyx (the goddess of night) is his mother/grandmother. The sons of Hypnos — the Oneiroi — are rulers of dreams, and ... include Phobetor (also known as Icelus), and Phantasos.
Morpheus offers Neo the red and blue pill. After Neo's Death, Morpheus returned to the Matrix to consult with the Oracle on the subject of Neo's remains. He then proceeded to meet with Redpills to show them that he was reconstructing Neo's RSI. After the reconstruction failed he began to challenge the machines to give Neo's remains to Zion. Later Morpheus gained access to Code Bombs and used them to cripple the Matrix.
Ceyx/Morpheus appears to Alcyone. Engraving by Virgil Solis for Ovid's Metamorphoses Book XI. Morpheus sends images of humans in dreams or visions, and is responsible for shaping dreams, or giving shape to the beings which inhabit dreams. Phobetor made fearsome dreams (etymologically related to "phobia" from the Greek φόβος "fear"). Phantasos produced tricky and unreal dreams (hence "fantasy", "phantasmagoria", etc.). Together these sons of Hypnos rule the realm of dreams. Morpheus ... had special responsibility for the dreams of kings and heroes. For these reasons Morpheus is often referred to as "Morpheus the Greek god of dreams" in superiority to his brothers.
