History
Agents were artificial intelligence programs that were created at some point by the Machines following the defeat of mankind. Humanity was not exterminated but rather put to use as biological energy batteries to help power the Machines with their minds placed into a virtual setting with this system being known as the Matrix. The Agents served as enforcers and guardians within the virtual setting which by 2199 resembled that of modern day Earth set in the year 1999.
Overview
In appearance, Agents within the Matrix appeared as humans that wore black suits and shoes, ties and wore sunglasses with an earpiece on one side resembling the Men in Black.
Such was the extent of their control over the Matrix that they could punch through concrete walls and entire clips of bullet fire could be shot at them only to hit nothing but empty air. It was said that ultimately the Agents served as the gatekeepers in the Matrix and guarded the means of exiting it as well as the means of leaving the virtual setting.
Until Neo, every human that had fought an Agent had died in the process. As such, humans within the Matrix survived by hiding from the Agents and running from them.
