Rama Kandra (Matrix character)
Rama-Kandra is the name of a fictional character (played by Bernard White) in the science fiction films, The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions.
Rama-Kandra is a program working in the real world as the power plant systems manager for recycling operations. It is possible that he may have a physical form as a machine.
In The Matrix Revolutions, Neo meets Rama-Kandra at the train station, along with his wife Kamala and daughter Sati.
Sati is scheduled for deletion because she has no purpose, born only out of love. To save her, Rama-Kandra sells the deletion codes for the shell of the Oracle to the Merovingian. He does this at the Le Vrai restaurant, where Neo (in The Matrix Reloaded) sees Rama-Kandra being led out at he enters. In exchange for the codes, Sati is smuggled into the Matrix through the Mobil Avenue train station where she will be put under the care of the Oracle.
Rama-Kandra is apparently a program so advanced as to be capable of love. Although this entails having free will, he completely accepts his role, purpose and condition of being, which he refers to as his karma (his way of saying "what I am here to do"). Thus soon after Sati is safely smuggled into the Matrix, he will not remain with her but instead return to the machine world to resume his responsibilities.
The name Rama-Kandra is a corruption of Rama Chandra, more commonly known as Lord Rama, an incarnation of the Hindu god Vishnu, and the hero of the epic Ramayana. Vishnu is known as the Sustainer of the Universe, with the universe thought of as a dream (Maya) that is sustained in Vishnu's mind. Vishnu also oversees the cycle of reincarnation. It is likely these two traits that parallel with the character of Rama-Kandra; he manages the power plant that sustains the Matrix (which Morpheus refers to as a dream), and more specifically as per his job description, he oversees the recyling of dead pod humans to be fed to newer ones.
