Thadeus (voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson) is the captain of the hovercraft Osiris, the subject of The Animatrix short film Final Flight of the Osiris. He is involved in an intimate relationship with Jue, an officer aboard the Osiris. He and Jue are dueling erotically in a training program when the Osiris receives an incoming sentinel alert. They exit the training program and hesitantly bring the ship up to the planet's surface, where they witness a Machine army massing. The ship is quickly spotted and attacked. In the final minutes before the ship is destroyed, Thadeus plugs Jue into the Matrix to deliver a message to Zion about the massing Machine army, which is recovered by Niobe and Ghost in Enter the Matrix. He and the rest of the ship's crew are killed when the sentinels destroy the ship.
He is the only captain of a hovercraft that does not wear a red sweater.
