When Neo enters the tea house Seraph appears glowing and different from everything around him and obviously to anything Neo has seen before. Why is this? Is Seraph part of some order? He also matches Neo in every fighting move as well as testing him he decides that Neo is the One. Is that to say Seraph has tested the One before?

He is a program, probably superior in fighting skills, better than the agents. So by fighting neo he maybe tests how fast neo moves as opposed to agents and just ordinary humans, remember you fight him in the game also. maybe this helps??

From what I can tell from the video game and the film is that he is a program that matchs the skills of the opponent. He never seems to be any stronger than anyone who he fights which would seem to suggest this. What I would like to know is why neo didn't have to fight seraph in the first film to see the oracle and why does she need to have him guarding her now?
