and physical appearance (when in kat form), has been in existance
for 6 months
Gender: Male

Physical Description: Crystal blue
eyes sparkle from a dark face framed by long fur. His dark fur is
marked with even darker stripes that start at the tips of his
ears and continue throughout his body. Depending on the light
(and sometimes his own choosing), Sypher appears various shades
of brown. His blonde hair sports pronounced dark roots that make
it look as though it had been bleached, which it hasn't.
Special Relationships: "Brother"
to Matrix.
Past History: Born in a computer,
Sypher's start on life was as an artificially intelligent
computer program created by Dark Kat. Part of Dark Kat's plan to
create more intelligent help, his programming was infused with
DNA sequencing and then routed through a conversion that
transferred him from so much data and a strand of energy to a
solid form. Thus born, he became Dark Kat's head assistant.
Though usually appearing as a kat he never lost his ability to
return to being an energy creature, and, even in kat form, his
mind still functions like a computer. With these abilities he was
able to maintain a mental link to Dark Kat's computer systems and
instantaneously carry out any order.
However, Sypher was "alive" only physically. Programmed
to be completely loyal to Dark Kat and devoid of emotions, he
essentially had no soul. Although, he was granted a limited form
of free will so he could think for himself without needing direct
orders for the simplest activities.
Sypher's downfall as a useful henchman came when Razor, Trina,
and Jessie infiltrated Dark Kat's Fear Ship. Trying to be helpful
as always, Sypher proposed that he return to his energy form and
merge with Razor to take control of the smaller SWAT Kat's body,
using him to lure T-Bone into a trap. Dark Kat was thrilled with
the idea of controlling a SWAT Kat against his will and gave his
permission. Sypher leapt into Razor... and found that controlling
a strong-willed kat when you have essentially no will of your own
is not an easy task. Mentally battered when he hit on Razor's
memories and their emotional baggage, he found himself lost in
the kat. Lost enough that he wasn't sure where he ended and Razor
started anymore. Fortunately for him, Razor has a heart big
enough to include even enemies invading his mind and offered him
a hand in finding his way back out.
The Sypher that accepted the offer, the Sypher that later
emerged, was not Dark Kat's puppet. In fact, he was more kat than
computer. He'd seen the varied range of feline emotion and
experience and wanted to be, not a computer, but a kat. That
Razor's emotions provoked this change of heart was obvious. The
mystery that will never be solved is how Sypher emerged with a
soul as well. But, it doesn't matter. He did.
He turned his back on Dark Kat after a brief battle of wills and
left with the SWAT Kats to spend his next twenty-four hours in
contemplation and carefully disabling every control Dark Kat had
placed in his mind.
Present History: Currently, Sypher
has just convinced the MBI that he and his fellow energy being
Matrix could be useful and has signed on with Matrix as the
organization's newest agents.
