Ghost is the name of a fictional character (played by Anthony Wong ) in the computer game Enter the Matrix, and the science fiction films The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions. In Making 'Enter the Matrix', he's described by the Wachowski brothers as an "ascetic Buddhist killer". A student of philosophy, he quotes and/or refers to Hume, Kierkegaard, James, and Nietzsche. His name may be a reference to the concept of a "Ghost" in "Ghost in the Shell", where a Ghost is in essence what Humans and Cyborgs have and Androids lack: the human spirit, or a soul.

Ghost's latest appearance has been in the MMORPG The Matrix Online.

Template:Spoiler

As seen in Enter the Matrix, Ghost and Trinity refer to each other as brother and sister as they were unplugged from the Matrix on the same day. His romantic feelings for her are unrequited, since she's in love with Neo. He serves on the Logos alongside his Captain, Niobe, and Operator, Sparks. He is known to be the best gunner in the fleet, and the best person to have riding shotgun during a car chase. He and Niobe have some of the same parts in the game. They mostly have different sides to the story.
