Agents are characters controlled by the player. You begin the game with a choice of two agents; you can also rescue agents from Detention Center missions, and additional agents join your team for the Research Facility, OMNI Foundry Lab and OMNI Mainframe missions.

With some exceptions, most agents begin with one weapon and possibly another item, most agents begin with one augment plus another empty augment socket, and most agents begin with some skill at level 2 or higher. Some agents have unique weapons, items or augments which are only available when using that agent.
