He's god. He was originally Primus, a member of a pantheon of 5 gods known as the Guiding Hand which was comprised of:
* Primus = god of life and light
* Solomus = god of wisdom
* Epistemus = god of knowledge
* Adaptus = god of transformation
* Mortilus = god of death

Primus/Rung transforms into a Matrix forge -- yeah, he created the Matrix. After the God War, Primus ended up being rendered "permanently forgettable." Primus also forgot who he was and became a psychiatrist & psychologist known as Rung (his name being a reference to Carl Jung (yeah, I know )). Rung would eventually remember who he was, but then he transformed into his alt mode and forged twelve Matrices and (along with his friends) saved the day. Forging 12 Matrices caused Rung to disintegrate and soon everyone, including his friends, forgot that he ever existed.

Btw, how far along is the Japanese translation of the IDW comics? When I was last in Japan in 2017 I picked up a copy and it was 7 years behind. If they haven't picked up the pace then Japan may not catch up this Primus/Rung story until 2025.
