Agent is the secondary antagonist character of Animator vs. Animation Season 3.

It is unknown which animation software Agent was created in; however Agent was uploaded onto Newgrounds, he appeared in the Outernet where he met Mitsi and victim, who were starting to form Rocket Corp.. He started out as the head of security who doubled as their bodyguard. However, after he and Mitsi, along with several other associates, were teleported back to Newgrounds due to The Chosen One and The Dark Lord's homicidal rampage across the Internet. Unfortunately, Agent was unable to save Mitsi from being incinerated by a fireball and was forced to relay to victim of what had happened to her.

Despite the decline of business in Rocket Corp, Agent was among those who stayed with victim until he and another employee revealed to victim of a strange event caught on one of their video cameras which showed Mitsi's assailant working side-by-side with victim's creator and tormenter, noogai3. Realizing the implications that Mitsi's fate was more than just an unfortunate accident, Agent helped victim to organize a plan to capture and deliver justice onto both of them, by leading three other stick figures as a mercenary group using hoverbikes and glitch-based weaponry to capture The Chosen One and use him to learn of noogai3's location, ultimately setting him on the path of coming into conflict with The Second Coming.

Appearance

Agent is a thin dark grey Pivot stick figure with a white solid head. He wears black sunglasses.

Personality

Shortly after meeting victim in his namesake episode, Agent worked as a dedicated security guard at Rocket Corp. In contrast to his more hostile demeanor, he was friendly and sociable with his colleagues, joining in their parties and posing for pictures with victim and Mitsi.

Agent is a loyal right-hand man and friend to victim. After the events of the Newgrounds destruction, he serves him with absolute obedience and executes his orders without question. By the time he and his team of mercenaries were actively pursuing The Chosen One, Agent had become a hardened and ruthless mercenary who would relentlessly pursues his enemies with no qualms of brute force. He has also proven to be a coordinated and skilled leader to his fellow mercenaries, shown when he ordered his men to stop from attacking The Second Coming instantly before stepping up to fight him alone.

He was also very close to and deeply cared about his other boss Mitsi, as shown in most flashbacks. When he was transported to Newgrounds after her, he comes running to her aid after seeing her in danger. When victim went through his memories and came across Mitsi's demise, he can be seen lamenting over her death for failing to save her.

History

Animator vs. Animation Season 3

Wanted - Animator vs. Animation 9

Agent, along with his mercenary allies, chases The Chosen One using advanced hoverbikes in a city in the Outernet, attempting to shoot him out of the sky using Glitch Bombs embedded into the bikes, until they make it towards the same cliff where The Showdown took place. The Chosen One decides to distract the mercs so he could reach ALANSPC and creates a cumulonimbus cloud, temporarily powering down Ballista, Primal and Hazard's hoverbikes, leaving only Agent's bike active.

Agent shoots Glitch Bombs at The Chosen One as he descends towards the bike, heavily injuring him, until The Chosen One slams a burst of ice into Agent's bike and strikes it with lightning, creating a huge explosion along with an iceberg which rapidly formed due to the lightning strike, temporarily trapping a part of Agent and his bike in the iceberg. When the iceberg falls into the sea, he can be briefly seen punching the hoverbike in anger.

The Chosen One escapes to ALANSPC, and lingers in the gateway to the PC after taking The Second Coming to help him. The two descend and The Chosen One alert the mercenaries, positioned below, to his presence and leads them to a large field surrounded by woods. The mercenaries land in this field to search for him. They spot The Second Coming after he is thrown out of the bushes by The Chosen One and draw their weapons at him. Agent uses the pre-equipped Zoom Tool to enhance his view of The Second Coming, and while doing this spots The Chosen One. He determines that The Second Coming is working with The Chosen One and opens fire with the other mercenaries.

Realizing The Second Coming can't activate his powers at will, The Chosen One helps The Second Coming avoid fire by flying up in the air to get away. As the other mercenaries attempt and fail at taking the two down, Agent uses the Zoom Tool again to let him zoom in, giving him better accuracy and downs the duo with slow, precise shots.

They successfully shoot The Chosen One and he is shocked with a dangerous amount of electricity, and this combined with the glitch effect from the Glitch Bombs make him too weak to move, let alone slow his and The Second Coming's fall out of the sky, forcing The Second Coming to fend for himself using the Pencil Tool. Agent orders Ballista to flank from the side to deal with The Second Coming.

The Second Coming nearly takes down Ballista, Primal and Hazard, but they break free from The Second Coming's attacks and surround him. At the very last second they are stopped by Agent, who appears to have been ordered by their boss, victim, to take The Second Coming alive. Agent approaches him and prepares to fight, equipping the Rectangle Tool. The Second Coming attacks using 3 snakes, yet Agent blocks these. A disembodied hand pushes Agent back at high force, which prompts him to equip the Lasso Tool to close the distance between him and The Second Coming. Agent throws the lasso and it attaches to The Second Coming's leg, but he draws an ice axe to claw into the ground, stopping Agent's pull on him.

Agent sees the lasso did not stop The Second Coming, so while his target is on the ground he uses the Line Tool and enlarges it in an attempt to slam it into The Second Coming. The impact caused a lot of dust to appear while The Second Coming narrowly escaped, albeit shook up from such a close call. Agent brushes the dust away using the enlarged line, showing The Chosen One in his weakened state. Ballista, Primal and Hazard hold The Chosen One down after he tries to crawl away and Agent draws another line as The Second Coming draws himself a sword. They engage in melee combat, which results in a failed attempt to restrain Agent by The Second Coming, and The Second Coming being stunned after two strong hits to the head with the now-extended line, sending the Pencil Tool flying and making the sword disappear.

Agent rushes to The Second Coming and lands a flurry of punches on him. On his final hit he uses the Free Transform Tool and spins him around, disorienting him before landing a final kick which sends him flying. Seeing that The Second Coming was barely phased by the barrage of attacks and ready to fight again, he decides to use the Pause Tool on him, ending the fight. He walks to his outstretched hand and aggressively snatches the Pencil Tool away. Agent quickly turns back upon hearing a huge blast and the area darkening, now seeing that The Chosen One is enraged and blasted the other three mercenaries away from him. He charges towards Agent, but he uses the Pause Tool right before The Chosen One can land a hit on him. Successfully completing their mission, the mercenaries load the paused figures onto the hoverbikes and head back to their headquarters.

The mercenaries walk by a research lab and into an elevator that leads to many floors, yet they choose to go to an office seemingly on the top floor. There, they meet up with their boss, victim. Agent informs victim that The Chosen One had successfully been captured, and victim clasps his hands together, ready for the next phase of his plan.

The Box - Animator vs. Animation 10

Agent and the other mercenaries, along with victim walk into the room both The Second Coming and The Chosen One were put in, Agent activates the control panel for the Box and sets "PWR" down to 10, the door shuts after victim walked in the box and Agent un-paused The Chosen One, who bumps into a wall.

The Chosen One tries to burn down the box as a method of escaping, it backfires after Agent rotates the fire so it faces The Chosen One, he tries using his lasers to escape, which ends up being shrunken, finding out his powers are entirely useless inside the box. Agent improves the strength of victim's leg but then changed it to his arm, letting victim throw The Chosen One in the air and then kicking him with his leg.

Agent makes it so that victim is ten times faster than The Chosen One, he makes it so that victim is invisible before shortly making him visible again. victim requests Agent to give him a lasso and does so, using it against The Chosen One, who had frozen himself, seeing that the lasso is stuck, victim orders Agent to clone victim and gives each victim a different weapon/tool, the clone of victim with the hammer hits the ice freezing The Chosen One, who gets unexpectedly burnt to death. He manages to kill the remaining victim clones, only leaving the real one left, Agent stops The Chosen One in an attempt to burn victim.

The Chosen One is set to normal speed and then is grabbed by victim by using the lasso, victim orders Agent to place a chair, after the chair was placed, victim threw The Chosen One and he lands on the chair, Agent changes the box to go from white to black, two of victim's Workers walk in the room holding a suitcase containing a memory scanner. A light is placed above The Chosen One and victim, the latter interrogates The Chosen One by asking for the location of Alan Becker, which he refuses to answer multiple times, the workers walk into the box and hand victim the suitcase, victim takes the memory scanner and places it on The Chosen One's head, who looks at victim, Agent rewinds The Chosen One's memories and goes back to the fight between The Chosen One and victim's Clones, he rewinds further before the signal becomes lost.

Agent rewinded the video to The Second Coming and The Dark Lord's battle, and they all become alarmed after seeing The Second Coming using his powers, Agent pauses the video and The Second Coming's cage is shut, deeming him too dangerous. Agent rewinds the video and sees the cursor being built, victim spots Yellow and gets the whole organization to print wanted posters of him.

The mercenaries and victim walk through the facility, one of victim's workers had seen Yellow and the other fighting stick figures come out of a truck, they are surrounded by victim's workers who get beaten up by the Fighting Stick Figures, Agent exits the facility and meets the Fighting Stick Figures and draws a stick, beating up Red, Green and Blue. After this, Yellow is captured and taken away.

Victim - Animator vs. Animation 11

It is revealed that Agent has been around since 2007, where he met victim and Mitsi at the beginning of Rocket Corp, back when he was a police officer. Soon enough Agent would become very close to both co-founders, showing great admiration and respect for the two, In return, both stick figures trusted him, hiring him as the head of security of the company where he made sure no one would steal anything, even being successful stopping a robbery attempt.

During the 4th anniversary of the company, a horrible event would take place. Countless stick figures in the party started to vanish into green particles, Mitsi being one of them, with her vanishing right behind victim. Agent would try to protect victim but he would soon vanish too, revealing that their place of origin; newgrounds, was under attack caused by The Chosen One and The Dark Lord. Amidst the chaos Agent would manage to leave his animation card but without his glasses which affected his vision, luckily, Mitsi was right there and gave him his glasses back allowing him to escape, however, Agent was forced to watch hopelessly Mitsi's death at the hands of The Chosen One after she got trapped in the rubble, with no other options, Agent escaped back to the Outernet and returned to Rocket Corp through a portal.

After returning, he allowed victim to use the memory scanner on him so he could see his memories. During the viewing he would lament the fact that he couldn't save Mitsi, but his memories allowed victim to see the one responsible for taking his lover away from him.

In the year 2018, Agent would enter a dark room along with a Rocket Co. worker, he would put his hand on victim's shoulder to comfort him but victim rejected his comfort. Agent would show the video the worker recorded of a dark red beam in the sky, arriving to the origin of the beam the worker would see the two beings responsible for victim's pain and suffering: The Chosen One and Alan Becker. Realizing that the two beings who ruined his life were not only connected but working together provided a critical lead in his pursuit of revenge.

Corn Dog Guy

During the events of Wanted, the mercenaries pursue The Chosen One and pass by a stick figure and his booth, which is hit by one of the mercenaries' glitch bombs.

Powers & Abilities

• Fighting: Agent is an extremely skilled and ruthless fighter and can use the many tools and weapons he has to his advantage. He is also an expert at hand-to-hand combat.

Weapons

Agent has arm gadgets (unofficially named "Toolbars" or "Animator UI") on each of his arms, which give him access of tools identical to those used in Adobe Animate. He can designate one tool per arm and change which tool he can use at will. These tools are:

• Selection Tool: Currently unknown usage.

• Lasso Tool: Agent is able to use a cyan-coloured lasso to grab people/objects at range.

• Free Transform Tool: Agent can manipulate the size of and potentially skew people and/or objects. He can also change the rotation of the selected person/object.

• Line Tool: Agent can draw a line to use as a weapon. With this line, he can change its size and length at will, as shown in his fight against The Second Coming.

• Eraser Tool: Currently unknown usage.

• Rectangle Tool: Agent can create rectangles/squares (and presumably rounded rectangles and squares) to use as a shield or barricade. It's likely he can change the thickness or size of these shapes.

• Zoom Tool: Agent can use a magnifying tool in his glasses to zoom in on faraway objects. This can improve his accuracy when on the attack and let him spot hidden/hard to see details.

• Pause Tool: Agent can throw a pause icon which is able to freeze stick figures/objects in present time and can even freeze affected elements in place, as shown with The Chosen One's fire. He can also use this tool to un-pause affected targets. He will only use it for "special occasions" when he's no longer "just playing around", according to Alan Becker. It freezes everything about a target, including their brain, meaning that no time passes for them from the moment they're paused to when they're unpaused.
