Once a bluepill, he became aware of the truth and of Neo and the Nebuchadnezzar crew, and freed himself from the Matrix on his own just before Agents reached him, which is why he idolises Neo. In the Battle of Zion he volunteers to help reload the APUs, and he is the first to tell Zion's people that the war is over.
