You are, or rather, you were Alex Kendall, a man who devoted his life to building and enhancing cyberspace. Growing disinterested in his work for the Defense Department, he used some of the money from his grants to work on his own project, to make a true digital representation of someone's personality. He used himself as the model for a new kind of digital being.

He was successful, but before he could unveil his new creation, he was marked for assassination because of several Defense Department projects he had taken part in. He woke just in time to see his family die. When he opened his eyes again, he was in the cybernetic realm.

Unfortunately, "he" was stuck in an area of the net known as the Necropolis, where old and outmoded programs are thrown when they are no longer useful. Now, he searches for the men who had he and his family killed and the elusive program named Eliza. ~ Lisa Karen Savignano, All Game Guide
