Anon, also known as Monitor, was a system monitor program written by Kevin Flynn. Anon is the main protagonist of TRON: Evolution. He was designed to assist Tron in keeping the peace during the Basic/ISO tensions before the Purge. He eventually got entangled in the events of Clu's rise to power involving the Virus, Abraxas.
Anon was tasked by Tron to keep watch on the Installation ceremony to prevent any unauthorized activity from occurring. Anon met with Tron near an elevator and went up with him. When the programs reached the top, they noticed a female program named Quorra attempting to convince two sentries to let her pass to the ceremony. When they refused, she said Radia, an ISO leader, was expecting her there, but the sentries still refused to let her pass. Quorra then ran off through the building tops. Tron asked Anon to follow her. Anon complied, but after following Quorra, Anon was attacked by infected programs. He derezzed the programs and made it to the installation ceremony, where Clu, another program created by Kevin Flynn, and ruler of the Tron system, was giving a speech.
Clu introduced Radia as the system administrator and Radia claimed that although Jalen, another ISO leader, had been derezzed, they must continue the peace between Basics and ISOs. Afterward, a virus named Abraxas interrupted the ceremony and attacked programs and turned them into infected programs. A group of ISOs escorted Radia out of the area while Anon fought Abraxas. Anon stopped the virus and shattered part of Abraxas's identity disc, but Abraxas escaped. Anon met with Clu when Tron and Kevin Flynn arrived. Clu claimed Abraxas's identity disc once belonged to an ISO, which Flynn refused to believe. Tron suggested Flynn to return to the real world to ensure his safety. Tron instructed Anon to eliminate all of the infected programs in TRON City while Tron escorted Flynn to the real world. After saving Quorra from Clu, and derezzing Abraxas, he and Quorra escaped on a Recognizer. After it malfunctioned and fell to the ground, they were thrown ahead of it. As it was about to fall on them he pushed Quorra clear, saving her, but sacrificing himself in the process
Behind the scenes
The name Anon is short for "Anonymous", named so because the developers wanted the player to be the character. While the character is never referred to by that name within Tron: Evolution's story, he is listed as such in the game's Character Model Gallery. Several differently-colored variations of his costume - such as green and yellow - were revealed by way of promotional images and the Xbox Live Avatar Marketplace, although none of those colors are displayed during the main game. Anon never speaks and his face is never shown.
Trivia
- Anon's first appearance on the Grid greatly resembles that of Kevin Flynn in TRON, from the dual beams of light from the heavens, to the location on a cliff face somewhat removed from the main setting, to the presence of hostile programs (had Tron not intervened in the case of Anon).
- Anon is not mentioned specifically in TRON: Legacy. However, when Quorra is recounting her story of how Kevin found her to Sam, she mentions "sympathetic programs" smuggling her out of the city, a story consistent with Anon's role in TRON: Evolution.
