Hacker

The Hacker is the primary antagonist of KhanQuest. He brought Khan Academy users into KA, commanded the winston viruses, and hacked many users. His goal is to bring the entire world into Khan Academy so that everyone can code their dreams. He describes his goal as follows:

"It all started as an error, one failed Khan location hack. And now, we're here. In this place. This wonderful place, where anything is possible. Some may say I lost myself in this power. But I say I finally found it. Yes, it is true that I came here by accident, but has any other accident produced greater results? Here we are, unbound, freed from the curse of mortals. Where we are creators, where we are power! Imagine what we could do here - imagine what all the world could do if they all came here. You've seen the power of programming yourself. So much potential! So many abilites! If I were to bring the all the peoples here, just think about what we could achieve! Look at this! The power sources are in place, Gateway's charged, the world downloader is ready - now all that's left is to press the button. It'll start downloading the world into Khan, and when it's done, we will ALL be free. Join me, and we will let everyone else in the world experience the power of programming! All I ask is a throne in repayment."

However, he does that by hacking and capturing users, causing the KhanCollab to fight him. He is one of the KhanCollab members in disguise, but when in his hacker form he looks different. "The hacker appears as a dark flaming mass of darkness around us computers. I would not be able to tell who they look like when not in their mega-hacker mode."

Spoiler Alert
Warning! Do not read the following section unless you are willing to read spoilers.

Spamite is secretly the hacker. He faked his own capture when the KhanCollab was captured by his monolith. The player has the choice either to join him and suck the world into Khan Academy or fight him. If the player fights him, he drains power from captured users to fight the player.

Spoilers end here.
