I-No was a character in the video game "TRON 2.0", where he has made his only appearance as of yet. Represented as an older male in the computer world, he was a Tower Guardian program from the 1980's that lived on an old mainframe called EN12-82.
In the course of "TRON 2.0," I-No helps Jet Bradley escape the old mainframe through a process called "overclocking", or making the mainframe run faster than it was intended. Overclocking the aged mainframe causes it to destabilize with a significant chance of crashing. In the game, significant damage to the mainframe is seen to be occurring.
Although given the chance to escape with Jet from the presumably disintegrating mainframe, I-No chooses not to escape the mainframe with Jet. I-No's rationale for not leaving the now dangerous environment is based upon his age & his perceived inability to adapt to a modern computing environment.
It is never explicitly stated that the mainframe is destroyed or that I-No is derezzed after Jet leaves the overclocked mainframe. However, both of these events are implied based upon the rate of damage occurring in the mainframe when Jet leaves.
Trivia
Dennis Bateman, the voice actor who plays I-No (as well as the Kernel and the fCon CEO), is most famous for providing the voices for Pyro and Spy for Team Fortress 2.
The name "I-No" is likely a phonetic play on the English phrase, "I Know," implying that the character is significantly intelligent.
