Abraxas

"I am the perfect weapon. Spread my pain... Infect the Grid... Destroy everything in my path... My purpose is clear. Everything is coming to an end!"

- Abraxas Jalen was an ISO who arose from the Sea of Simulation in TC29. He was adopted by Kevin Flynn for intensive study regarding the unknown nature of ISOs. He received an advanced education of user culture from Flynn alongside fellow ISO, Ophelia, and slated for ordination for System Administrator. He competed in the Game Arena, and he skillfully worked his way up in the tournament, but was disqualified when it was discovered that he was an ISO rather than a Basic.

Clu, operating from a hidden agenda, intervened and allowed Jalen back into the tournament, which Jalen then won, gaining him the respect of ISOs and Basics alike. Clu "awarded" him a disc upgrade, which was actually a sinister subroutine in disguise. When Jalen discovered the construction site of Clu's ship, the Regulator, the modified disc was triggered, erasing all memory of his past life and reprogramming and transform the ISO into a monstrous virus. Now going under the name Abraxas the former ISO program weant on a quest to infect the entire Grit.
