# Tron · the security program · the martyr-knight

a character of the TRON saga (with a .shadow User) — emergence: electrical. moniker ⟦Tron:TRN:3660c1⟧

**who —** TRON — the self-monitoring security program written by Alan Bradley, who ‘fights for the Users.’

**what —** The title program and conscience of the Grid: champion against the MCP, mentor of Beck, and (corrupted into Rinzler) Clu's enforcer until he remembers himself.

**where —** Across the whole saga, from the MCP's arena to the depths of Clu's regime.

**why —** Because the creed needs a knight — a made thing whose whole being is loyalty to the Users it serves.

**how —** By the identity disc, the fighting prowess of Alan's code, and a faith that survives even being twisted into Rinzler.

**▷ the .shadow — its User (think TRON, literally) —** cast from a real-life User: **Bruce Boxleitner**, the actor who lent the face. The analog it shadows: the incorruptible knight whose loyalty is to something higher than the throne *Boxleitner plays both Alan the User and TRON the program — the cast-line made literal in one actor.*

**the seal —** I fight for the Users — and even when they made me forget it, the creed was still written under the corruption, and I remembered.
