List of Minor Characters in The Matrix Series - Councilor Hamann

Councilor Hamann (played by Anthony Zerbe) is a character in The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions.

Councilor Hamann, by his own account to Neo, was freed at age eleven and serves as a Councilor for Zion. Hamann holds a disdain for Commander Lock's strictly militia-minded policies and secretly supports Morpheus' belief that Neo is the One. Although he does not directly voice these beliefs, Hamann allows the Nebuchadnezzar to leave Zion to contact the Oracle - Hamann explains this to Lock with the statement that he "believes their survival depends on more than how many ships (they) have", openly demonstrating his disagreement with Lock's reliance on brute force. He enjoys visiting Zion's engineering level, where all of their machines keep their water, oxygen, electricity and heat going. He and Neo visit the engineering level and discuss what the real meaning of control is. Hamann reveals to Neo his confidence in him and that he fears for the people still trapped in the Matrix.
