Cypher (Joe Pantoliano)’s Timeline and Summary

Cypher (Joe Pantoliano)’s Timeline and Summary

  • Cypher is somehow in contact with the agents. He tells them about Trinity's position and about Neo.
  • When Neo has taken the red pill, Cypher is there, helping to coordinate his rescue.
  • Once aboard the Nebuchadnezzar he's just a part of the crew. He does his job reading code, drinks some intense homemade alcohol, and teases Trinity about believing in prophecy and having a thing for Neo.
  • Then he's talking in the Matrix to Agent Smith about the deal. He gives him Morpheus and Smith inserts him back into the Matrix, oblivious of the real world.
  • Cypher is able to escape the Ambush by the agents apart from the others (because he isn't a target) and makes it back to the Nebuchadnezzar before them.
  • He zaps Dozer and Tank, unplugs Apoc and Switch, killing them, and is then killed himself by Tank who was only suffered severe electrical burns and was not dead.
