Sparks (played by Lachy Hulme) is the operator and general-purpose crewmember of the Logos in the film The Matrix Revolutions and the video game Enter the Matrix. As seen in Enter the Matrix, Sparks serves as the Operator on the Logos alongside his captain and the ship's pilot, Niobe, and weapons expert and first mate Ghost. His sarcastic and irreverent demeanor serve to alleviate the sometimes tense situations aboard the Logos.
Sparks does care about the other two members of the Logos and he is frequently exasperated at their actions. At one point, he melodramatically states to Niobe and Ghost (about Morpheus just calling); "He said he needs your help. Can you imagine what that means? 'Our help!' He's got Neo, why does he need you?! (Pause) I know you're both listening to me as much as you're listening to this...pole, here, so I'll just tell you what I think; I think you just spent eight of your nine lives getting out of there. And if you go right back in, I don't think you're just pushing your luck, I don't think you're crazy, I think you have a death wish! A major, full-on Bronson! And since your lives obviously mean nothing to you, I ask you to try to think of something that does have meaning; namely, my life." To which Ghost quickly and calmly replies "Sparks, shut up." Fed up, Sparks quietly retorts "Yeah, sure, why not..." and walks away.
He also seems to want a quiet life, as indicated when he cries "Oh when...When will it end?!"
