Merovingian : was the 1st neo..
if you consider the 'symbology'..
and that 'neo' -> satan ...coz it was L0..
thats genius of lana lizards...
telling you 1st neo : is satan..
coz he knew how humans work...
just like amit : roufie a veronica at work : glam and all 'money/power'..
and rest is : 'causality'.
The lizardness of using neo 1 as merovingian..
and powerful...
is the primal nature of it..
Merovingian lives and thrives : in 1999 matrix..
coz that was start of neo-ness..
single, swave, lost for purpose..
and yet : the purpose : is trinity...
trinity : is what decides and powers it all..
no god : merovingian and rising above it.
