Oh, what happened to him?

It's a bit of a long story, but here're the important parts: Bass was the world's first solo netnavi. He was a little unruly because of his freedom and strength but was never really a bad guy—he just wanted to prove to his creator that his project was a success. The netpolice hated him because he liked to delete their automated navi-restraint forces for fun. They had them on instant backup, so it's not like he caused any damage. But one day, their systems go haywire because important things are being deleted left and right, they assume it's Bass, throw him into prison, and throw some limiters onto him, back before the technology was really ready. As it so happens, throwing him into prison didn't stop the deletions and it turns out the systems are riddled with bugs causing the outbreak and even accidentally releasing Bass from jail. Bass leaves and a member of the netpolice decides to execute him because he was out of jail before being "officially" cleared. Bass' limiters are corrupted and begin to reprogram his code. Bass deletes the officer and goes to live a life of solitude in permanent hatred of humanity.
