Twins (The Matrix)

In The Matrix, The Twins are the two silvery henchmen of The Merovingian who can become translucent and move through solid objects.
They are also the 'ghosts' the Oracle explains about while talking to Neo before the 'Burly Brawl'. In other words, their abilities as programs (becoming translucent and moving through objects) were still usable in exile.
Story
The twins are first seen with The Merovingian smoking a hookah in his restaurant in The Matrix Reloaded. They don't speak but smirk at the fact that neither Trinity, Morpheus nor Neo appear to have the same intellect as The Merovingian.
Later, when Morpheus and crew free the keymaker, the Merovingian sends the twins to kill the 'redpills' and recapture the keymaker. They are dispatched by Morpheus when he causes their vehicle to overturn and explode. Whether or not this explosion results in the death of the twins is disputed by Matrix fans; they are shown turning incorporeal as the blast flings them away, and they have demonstrated the ability to heal themselves of bodily injury while incorporeal. Regardless, they are not seen for the rest of the trilogy.
In the Enter The Matrix video game, which chronicles the events leading up to The Matrix Reloaded, the twins are shown attempting to stop Niobe and Ghost from escaping the Merovingian's mansion.
