I know you said lesser of two evils, my point was just that it doesn't stop him being extremely evil. The Patriots contact only suggests that a single AI was destroyed, but it was established that there was more than one.

I think it's supposed to be jarring. You're playing a game, and generally you're supposed to feel like who you play as in a game is a good guy (though there are exceptions), but suddenly you learn that he was from a unit that branded itself as being "of the Devil" and he himself was called "White Devil". It calls into question everything you thought about the character.

You're right about the Matrix though, that was their intention all along.
