They took second place in the "Selection of Mercenaries".
Primal is the only mercenary who doesn't have a futuristic design with consistent lines and no outlines.
Primal is currently the only brown figure available.
Primal appears to act bossy towards his two other fellow mercenaries.
Primal is the most difficult figure to animate.
They are the only mercenaries whose defeat is not referenced in any piece of media about their origin.

Weakness
Broom: Since it is essentially a dry painting, Primal's earth manipulation attack can be countered by using the broom to clear the lines, causing any roots attached to it to be destroyed.
Feral Intelligence: Due to the reduced intelligence in Feral form, outsmarting the Primal becomes much easier. Many strategies that would defy a person with higher tactical skill (such as throwing dirt in their face) suddenly become significantly more effective.

Primal is the tallest stick figure seen in any of Alan Becker's videos to date.
If you take this into account, the Backrooms division may be an exception.
Apparently, they were created based on the little people from ancient cave frescoes.
Unlike the other three mercenaries, Primal doesn't use firearms. Instead, he uses traditional weapons like spears and bows. Despite this, they all ride the same model of futuristic-looking motorcycle.
They are the only mercenaries whose color scheme is not gray.
Some concept art shows it in shades of gray, as shown in the June newsletter.
They have earned several nicknames among fans, such as "Hunter", "Cavestick", and, most commonly, "Primal".
In some AVG polls, Primal was called "Merc (rock painting)".
Primal's steps always sound like he's walking on earth.
Technically, Primal is the only canon action figure with fingers. When he gets angry, he gets bigger and grows fingers.
Primal is the only mercenary who has legs instead of stumps.

During the events of "Wanted", the mercenaries are pursuing the Chosen One and pass by a human figurine and his booth, which is hit by one of the mercenaries' bombs.

Trials of mercenaries
Primal is one of the candidates for the Rocket Corp mercenary selection process. When their turn comes, they assume a beast form, grab the worker by the legs, and slam him into the ground repeatedly. The system ranks Primal as the second strongest of all the selection candidates, securing them a place on the Agent's mercenary team. Beast Form: Primal can transform into a significantly larger and more muscular form, granting him immense strength at the cost of his seemingly bestial nature.
Mastery of Primitive Weapons: Primal is skilled with spears and bows, and is never shown using any technology other than his flying machine.
Enhanced Hearing: Primals can hear and recognize sounds from a greater distance than others thanks to their heightened senses.
Earth Manipulation: By striking the ground, Primal can create lines that quickly sprout from the point of impact. These lines then grow strong roots that attack opponents.

The Chosen One aids the Second Coming, but the Chosen One is shot at by mercenaries and paralyzed, leaving the Second Coming to fend for itself. The Second Coming has already distracted the Ballista; they approach the Chosen One, but are stopped by Primal's arrow.

Primal fires three arrows simultaneously at the Second Coming. They decide to save the Chosen One and recruit a rhinoceros to protect the Second Coming and the Chosen One. Primal shoots the rhinoceros with arrows and battles it while the Second Coming and the Chosen One escape.

Primal finally defeated the Rhino and the mercenaries surrounded the Second Coming, but they were stopped by Agent .

The Chosen One recovers from his paralysis, knocking back the three mercenaries, but the Agent stops the Chosen One and the four mercenaries retreat, successfully capturing the Chosen One.

Primal and the other mercenaries escort the target to the room where the Chosen One was being held. They, Ballista, and Hazard then take up positions behind the Agent, where they watch as the target first fights and then interrogates the Chosen One. They see a video recording of TCO's memories, where the Second Coming destroys the Dark Lord with his lasers, as well as Yellow's involvement in moving the cursor to the Outer Network. The mercenaries then follow the target through the facility while wanted posters for Yellow are being printed. They then spot the fighting figures through a security camera, just emerging from one of the company's trucks.

Appearance
Personality
Due to the lack of screen time, it's difficult to say what Primal's personality is. In the ABTV cutscene, they fought Ballista for the control panel, so they likely have a fiery temper. Primal's anger is best demonstrated in the battle with Green, where they display a brutal demeanor, aggressive fighting, and a loud roar. Their anger is their fatal flaw, as Green outsmarted them and defeated them while they were attacking in a blind rage.

Little things
As Alan confirmed, Ballista is not an original character, but rather adapted from the 2003 REN animated film, which shows a stick man trying to break down a door.[1]
Before his name was revealed, the fan community gave him several names, such as Pixel (or plural Pixels).
In some AVG polls it was called "Mercury (Pixel)".
Almost all of Ballista's combat abilities in Animator vs. Animation originally appeared in Stickman vs. Door. It is unknown whether the Ballista in the Animator vs. Animation series possesses all the abilities he used in Stickman vs. Door.
This later explains Ballista's only weakness, recently revealed in "Hacker": his powers can't damage any door or wall, leading Red to lock him in the janitor's closet. If we consider his origins outside of "Animator vs. Animation," he is the first stick figure created in the series, as the first stick figure, "Victoria," was created in 2006.
Currently, he is the only hard-headed figure with superpowers.
After the Agent stopped the "Chosen One" and the "Second Coming", they were both placed on the Ballista's motorcycle.
Ballista's height is extremely inconsistent. In some scenes of "Wanted," he's shown slightly shorter than Hazard, while in others, he's shown slightly shorter than the Second Coming and the Chosen One.
In some rare cases, the Ballista is also drawn with a 1 pixel brush instead of a 2 pixel brush. [ citation needed ]
In the film "The Sacrifice," a pixelated figure of a character can be seen in a video; it is unknown whether this has any connection to Ballista or whether they are different characters.
This is the second figurine created before the "victim" appeared, after AOL Instant Messenger.
He placed 3rd in the mercenary selection.
Ballista is the only mercenary who

Cloak.
Two pistols, one in each hand.
Giant hammer.
A huge barrage of missiles that could only be seen after his head split in two.
Dozens of daggers that he can throw.
Bow and arrows.
A spear, then two in each hand.
A ball with a chain that he can use to gain momentum and throw.
Laser detected when his head was split in two.
The machine gun was found after his head was cut in two.
A missile turret was discovered after his head was cut in half.
Bazooka.
A large, compact arsenal of weapons is revealed after opening the top of the head.
Speed: The Ballista has a "sprint" mode that allows it to seemingly double its ground speed.
Strength: The Ballista is stronger than the average action figure, capable of unleashing a barrage of blows on a shark created by the Second Coming and blowing the door behind which Red was hiding off its hinges with a single powerful blow.
Weaknesses
Referencing his origins, Ballista appears to be incapable of destroying walls and doors with his abilities. Furthermore, he likely never learned to open doors, as in AVA 12, failing to break down the door with any of the aforementioned abilities and apparently never even considering attempting to open it (judging by the "PULL" sign on the door), leaving him vulnerable to Red's finishing counterattack.

The Box — Animator vs. Animation 10
Ballista and the other mercenaries escort the victim to the room containing the Box. They watch as the victim, with the Agent's help, beats up the Chosen One. He later witnesses the Second Coming, using his awakened powers to destroy the Dark Lord within the Chosen One's memory. Finally, he goes with the victim and the other mercenaries to oversee the printing of "Wanted Yellow" posters.

Red begins to celebrate, only to flee when he hears Ballista trying to break out of the closet.

During the events of Wanted, mercenaries are pursuing the Chosen One and pass by a human figurine and his booth, which is hit by one of the mercenaries' bombs.

Powers and abilities
Weapons: Ballista can create a variety of weapons and accessories, some of which alter the shape of his body. Here are some examples:
The gun turret is visible through the division of the head into two.
Large diamond-shaped sword.
This sword can be thrown like a spear, in which case the handle disappears and after a while it explodes like a fragmentation grenade.

The Chosen One escapes to ALANSPC and returns to the Outer Network with the Second Coming. Mercenaries spot the Chosen One flying into the forest and land in a field to search for him. The mercenaries spot the Second Coming and point their guns at him. They quickly suspect the Second Coming is assisting the Chosen One and open fire.

The Chosen One assists the Second Coming, but the Chosen One is shot by mercenaries and paralyzed, leaving the Second Coming to fend for itself. The Agent orders the Ballista to deal with the Second Coming, and the Ballista's head transforms into a turret and fires at the Second Coming. The Second Coming manages to block the attacks by attracting eels to act as a shield. The Ballista produces two pixelated weapons to make things more difficult. The Second Coming attracts a shark that was about to attack the Ballista. The Ballista lands several blows towards the shark, and the Second Coming manages to distract the Ballista for a while.

After the Second Coming distracted three of the four mercenaries, Ballista slaughtered the sharks lured by the Second Coming's sword. The mercenaries nearly defeated the Second Coming, but were stopped by the Agent.

The Chosen One recovers from his paralysis, throwing back three mercenaries. The agent stops the Chosen One, and the four mercenaries retreat, having successfully captured the Chosen One.

The mercenaries return to Rocket Corp. headquarters, enter the elevator leading to the office, meet with their boss, the victim, and inform him that the Chosen One has been captured.

Last appearance
Hacker - Animator vs. Animation 12tBallista [1] is one of the four mercenaries working for the victim and the Rocket Corporation in the third season of the animated series "Animator vs. Animation".

Appearance
Ballista is a short, pixelated figure with a white head. He can shapeshift his body (for example, by cutting his head in half to reveal a gun) and has giant teeth, making him one of the few characters capable of expressing emotion beyond body language.

Concept art depicted him with a separate mouth and finer pixels. History
The door won't open, let's break it down!
The ballista is originally taken from an animation called "ドアが開かないぶち破ろう," which roughly translates to "The door won't open, let's break it down!" While playing the original Flash animation may be difficult since Flash support was discontinued, the original animation has been re-uploaded to YouTube.

Trials of mercenaries
Ballista learned of a recruitment drive for mercenaries and decided to join, along with many other figures. When it was his turn to demonstrate his abilities to the Worker, he split his head into a variety of weapons and created powerful explosions, which, according to the Agent, proved his worth, and took third place. He was later recruited by Primal, who placed second, and Hazard, who placed first.

"Victim - Animator vs. Animation 11" marks the first time the Agent is seen without sunglasses.
He is one of the tallest figures in the Animator vs. Animation franchise.
In some shots of Rocket Corp.'s ideological history, the Agent has joints that weren't present in his appearance until "The Victim." When arresting a robber, his free arm curves rather than forms a straight, jagged line; and when he closes the camera and the door, joints are visible on his hand, which he never had in previous episodes.
The gadget hands he has in Animator vs. Animation 11 are the same gadget hands the Rocket Corp. workers have in Animator vs. Animation 10.
He is the only mercenary who appeared in every frame of the Wanted series.
Like the victim and three other artificial figures, he is the only mercenary who does not possess any obvious superpowers or the ability to change the shape of his body.
He was the first figure to debut with accessories and continues to wear them.
He is currently the only mercenary who has interacted with all members of the Stick Gang.
He is the only straight-headed character to appear in every episode of Season 3.
It turns out it was animated using the line tool, not the brush tool.
According to Alan, he is "for some reason very good at backgammon" [7]
In the "Mercenary Selection" episode, his glasses have wider lenses for auditioning rejected figures. For auditions of Ballista, Primal, and Hazard, his glasses have narrow lenses. Trivia

Little things
The agent moves at a higher frame rate than any other figure in the AVA series.
The Agent's animation style is reminiscent of animations created in Pivot Animator.
Since the Agent didn't have an official name at the time of the film's release, fans gave him a variety of nicknames as placeholders. Besides "Agent," there are also "Shady," "Pivot," "Glasses," "Striker," "Spyglasses," and "Johnny," and "Glasses" was used as his name in some AVG polls.
They called him "
Agent Smith
"DJ Welch during the reaction videos to the songs "Wanted" and "The Box", in which Alan stated that the DJs' names are used purely for entertainment.
In some AvG polls it was called "Merc (Glasses)".
During production, the Agent was referred to as the GUI, short for Graphic User Interface and a reference to its toolbar. However, Alan and other producers have stated that these names are not used in official media intentionally, and that they intended to give viewers control over the Mercenaries' names by listing the names Agent, Ballista, and Primal.[5][6]
It's possible his real name is something else, as in "The Victim" the name next to his photo contains the segment "Mr."
In the June 2025 newsletter, it is also referred to as the "long stick."
Although it looks black, it is actually brighter than the Chosen One.
The Agent is the first and currently only figure to wear accessories, as well as the only mercenary to wear glasses.
The Agent is the only mercenary who does not appear in the Wanted reaction video thumbnail.
In Victim's Newgrounds profile, you can see the Agent's real name starts with "MR" and the description starts with "cool-", but the rest has been cut off by fire.

Rectangle Tool: The agent can create rectangles/squares (and presumably rounded rectangles and squares) that can be used as shields or barricades. It can likely vary the thickness and size of these shapes. It can also create rectangular holes in walls and other surfaces.
Zoom Tool: The agent can use the magnifying glass on their glasses to magnify distant objects. This increases accuracy during attacks and allows them to spot hidden or difficult-to-see details.
Pause Tool: The Agent can use the pause icon, which can freeze figures/items in real time and even freeze affected elements in place, as demonstrated by the Chosen One's fire. They can also use this tool to unpause affected targets. According to Alan, he will only use it in "special cases" when he's no longer "just playing." It freezes everything in the target, including their brain, meaning no time passes for them from the moment they pause until they unpause.

After Nougay enters the Outer Network, Agent, posing as Yellow, projects a fake pop-up message asking the user to click on the location where the victim is hiding. Nougay sees a message asking him to copy and paste the name "HACKER" into the symbol. The victim notices the error and asks the Agent to change it to "H4CK3R." Nougay becomes suspicious, noticing the symbol's name is "victim." This suspicion upsets the Agent, causing him to initiate a 10-second countdown to force Nougay to act.

AGENT SMITH'S POWERS AND ABILITIES: Combat Skills: The agent is an extremely skilled and ruthless fighter, proficient in the use of a variety of tools and weapons. He is also an expert in hand-to-hand combat.
Weapon
Each of the agent's hands has gadgets (informally called "Toolbars" or "Animator Interfaces") that give them access to tools identical to those used in Adobe Animate. They can assign one tool to each hand and change the tools used as needed. These tools are:

Tool of choice: Currently unknown use.
Lasso Tool: The Agent can use a light blue lasso to grab people/objects from a distance.
Free Transform Tool: The agent can resize and possibly tilt people and/or objects. It can also change the rotation angle of a selected person or object.
Line Tool: The Agent can draw a line that can be used as a weapon. With this line, he can change its length and size at will, as demonstrated in his battle with the Second Coming.
Eraser Tool: The agent can erase objects and materials within the eraser's area of ​​effect. The agent can also increase the size of the affected area.

In 2018, the Agent entered a dark room with a Rocket Corp. employee and placed his hand on the victim's shoulder to comfort them, but the victim rejected his comfort. The Agent showed a video taken by the employee of a dark red beam in the sky. Upon reaching the source of the beam, the employee saw two beings responsible for the victim's pain and suffering: the Chosen One and Alan Becker. The realization that these two beings who had ruined his life were not only connected but working together provided him with the crucial clue in his quest for revenge. Season 1 Featurettes

Hacker - Animator vs. Animation 12
Having analyzed the Chosen One's memories and added Yellow's image to his datastream, the Agent orders him placed in the Box. He reviews the footage to confirm his connection to the Chosen One. He selects a section of the video before returning to the original file to verify that he was responsible for the creation of Nougai3. With what he needs, he begins downloading the footage. Afterward, the Agent orders the Chosen One's destruction. To prevent him from resisting, the Agent restrains him and escorts him outside the facility.

The Agent and Victim then fly over the forest on Rocket Corps hoverbikes, attempting to locate the computer. The Agent analyzes the landscape and locates the computer on the edge of a cliff. He enters a barn, erases the computer's damage, and connects it to his hoverbike to restore its functionality. After the Victim orders the Agent to execute his plan, he begins replaying commands, using the recording of Yellow's actions on the computer, to return Nougay's cursor to the world.

Victim - Animator vs Animation 11
It turns out the Agent has existed since 2007 or earlier, when he met the victim and Mitzi at the very beginning of Rocket Corp, while still a police officer. The Agent soon became very close to both founders, showing them immense admiration and respect. In return, both figures trusted him, hiring him as the company's head of security. He ensured that no one stole anything and even successfully thwarted an attempted robbery.

During the company's fourth anniversary, a horrific event occurred. Countless figures in the group began to vanish into green particles. Mitzi was one of them, disappearing right behind the victim. The Agent attempted to protect the victim, but soon he too vanished, revealing that their place of origin, Newgrounds, had been attacked by the Chosen One and the Dark Lord. Amid the chaos, the Agent managed to retain his animation map, but without the glasses that obscured his vision. Fortunately, Mitzi was nearby and returned his glasses, allowing him to escape. However, the Agent was forced to hopelessly watch Mitzi's death at the hands of the Chosen One after she became trapped under rubble. With no other options, the Agent escaped back to the Outer Internet and returned to Rocket Corporation through a portal. Upon returning, he allowed the victim to use the Memory Machine on himself to access his memories. While watching, he lamented that he could not save Mitzi, but his memories allowed the victim to see the one who took his beloved away from him.

The Chosen One is set to normal speed and then grabbed by the victim with a lasso. The victim orders the Agent to place a chair. After the chair is placed, the victim drops the Chosen One, who lands on the chair. The Agent changes the crate from white to black. Two Rocket Corporation workers enter the room holding a suitcase containing a memory scanner. A light is above the Chosen One and the victim. The latter interrogates the Chosen One, asking for the whereabouts of Alan Becker, to which he refuses to answer several times. The workers enter the crate and hand the suitcase to the victim. The victim takes the memory scanner and places it on the head of the Chosen One, who looks at the victim. The Agent rewinds the Chosen One's memories and returns to the battle between the Chosen One and the victim's clones. He rewinds further before the signal is lost.

The agent rewinds the video to the scene of the Second Coming and the Dark Lord's battle, and everyone is alarmed to see the Second Coming using his powers. The agent stops the video, and the Second Coming's cage closes, deeming him too dangerous. The agent rewinds the video and sees the cursor forming, the victim spots Yellow and forces the entire organization to print posters with his image. The mercenaries and the victim walk through the facility. One of the victim's workers sees Yellow and other fighting figures exiting a truck. They are surrounded by the victim's workers, who are being beaten by the fighting figures. The agent exits the facility, encounters the fighting figures, and, drawing a stick, beats Red, Green, and Blue. Yellow is then captured and taken away.

The mercenaries pass a research lab and enter an elevator leading to several floors, but decide to head to an office seemingly located on the top floor. There, they meet their superior, the target. The agent informs the target that the Chosen One has been successfully captured, and the target clenches his hands, preparing for the next stage of his plan.
The Box — Animator vs. Animation 10
The Agent and the other mercenaries, along with the victim, enter the room where the Second Coming and the Chosen One were. The Agent activates the Box's control panel and sets the "PWR" to 10. The door closes after the victim enters the Box, and the Agent unpauses the Chosen One, who crashes into the wall.

The Chosen One attempts to burn the box to escape. The Agent directs the fire toward the Chosen One. The Chosen One attempts to escape using lasers, but the box shrinks, revealing that its powers are completely useless inside the box. The Agent empowers the victim's leg, but then transforms it into its own arm, allowing the victim to toss the Chosen One into the air and then kick him.

The Agent makes the victim ten times faster than the Chosen One, rendering them invisible before quickly reappearing. The victim asks the Agent for a lasso and does so, using it against the Chosen One, who has frozen himself. Seeing the lasso stuck, the victim orders the Agent to clone the victim and gives each victim a different weapon/tool. The victim's clone strikes the ice with a hammer, freezing the Chosen One, who is suddenly burned alive. He manages to kill the remaining clones of the victim, leaving only the real one. The Agent stops the Chosen One, who is attempting to burn the victim.

The Agent sees that the lasso hasn't stopped the Second Coming, so while his target is on the ground, he uses the Line Tool and enlarges it, attempting to strike the Second Coming with it. The blow creates a large amount of dust, while the Second Coming narrowly escapes death, though shaken by the perilous situation. The Agent brushes away the dust with an enlarged line, revealing the Chosen One in his weakened state. Ballista, Primal, and Hazard hold the Chosen One down as he attempts to crawl away, and the Agent draws another line while the Second Coming draws his sword. They engage in hand-to-hand combat, resulting in the Second Coming failing to restrain the Agent, and the Second Coming is stunned by two powerful blows to the head from the now-extended line, sending the Pencil Tool flying into the air and the sword disappearing.

The Agent lunges at the Second Coming and unleashes a barrage of blows. In his final strike, he uses the Free Transform Tool and spins him around, disorienting him before delivering a final kick that sends him flying. Seeing that the Second Coming has barely been stopped by the barrage of attacks and is ready to fight again, he decides to use the Pause Tool on him, ending the fight. He approaches his outstretched hand and aggressively snatches the Pencil Tool. The Agent quickly returns, hearing a loud explosion and the area darkening, now seeing that the Chosen One is enraged and has thrown the other three mercenaries away. He lunges at the Agent, but uses the Pause Tool just before the Chosen One can strike him. Having successfully completed their mission, the mercenaries load the suspended figures onto hoverbikes and return to their headquarters.

Realizing that the Second Coming cannot activate his powers at will, the Chosen One helps the Second Coming escape the fire by leaping into the air and escaping. While the other mercenaries try, but fail, to eliminate the two, the Agent uses the zoom function again to get closer and aim more accurately, and dispatches them with slow, precise shots.

They successfully shoot the Chosen One, causing him to receive a dangerous jolt of electricity. Combined with the glitch effects of the glitch bombs, this renders him too weak to move, let alone slow his and the Second Coming's fall from the sky, forcing the Second Coming to survive on its own using the Pencil. The Agent orders the Ballista to flank him and deal with the Second Coming.

The Second Coming nearly defeats 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 the Agent, who appears to have been ordered by their boss, the victim, to take the Second Coming alive. The Agent approaches him and prepares for battle, equipping the Rectangle Tool. The Second Coming attacks with three snakes, but the Agent blocks them. A disembodied hand pushes the Agent back with great force, prompting him to equip the Lasso Tool to close the distance between himself and the Second Coming. The Agent throws the lasso, and it attaches to the Second Coming's leg, but he pulls out an ice pick to dig into the ground, stopping the pull of the Agent toward him.

Story
Animator vs. Animation, Season 3
Wanted - Animator vs. Animation 9
The Agent, along with other mercenaries, pursues the Chosen One on advanced hoverbikes through an Outer Network city, attempting to knock him out of the sky with glitch bombs embedded in the bikes until they reach the same cliff where the Battle took place. The Chosen One decides to distract the mercenaries so he can reach ALANSPC, creating a cumulonimbus cloud that temporarily disables Ballista, Primal, and Hazard's hoverbikes, leaving only the Agent's bike active.

The Agent fires glitch bombs at the Chosen One as he descends toward his motorcycle, severely injuring him. The Chosen One then unleashes an ice ball on the Agent's motorcycle and strikes him with lightning, causing a massive explosion and an iceberg quickly formed from the lightning strike, temporarily trapping part of the Agent and his motorcycle within the iceberg. As the iceberg crashes into the sea, he can be seen angrily punching the hoverbike.

The Chosen One escapes to ALANSPC and lingers in the player's passageway, recruiting the Second Coming to his aid. They descend, and the Chosen One alerts the mercenaries below to his presence and leads them to a large field surrounded by forest. The mercenaries disembark in this field to search for him. They spot the Second Coming after the Chosen One throws him out of the bushes and aim their guns at him. The agent uses a pre-installed zoom tool to enhance the Second Coming's view and simultaneously spots the Chosen One. He determines that the Second Coming is working for the Chosen One and opens fire along with the other mercenaries.

Personality
Shortly after meeting the victim in the episode of the same name, the 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 their parties and posing for photos with the victim and Mitzi.

The Agent is the victim's loyal assistant and friend. After the events surrounding the destruction of Newgrounds, he serves him with absolute obedience and carries out his orders without question. By the time he and his team of mercenaries began actively pursuing the Chosen One, the Agent had become a seasoned and ruthless mercenary who relentlessly pursues his enemies, refusing to stop at brute force. He also proved himself a coordinated and capable leader for his fellow mercenaries, as demonstrated when he ordered his men to immediately cease their attack on the Second Coming before engaging him alone.

He was also very close and deeply cared for his other boss, Mitzi, as shown in most flashbacks. When he was transported to Newgrounds after her, he rushed to her aid after seeing her in danger. When Victim, reviewing his memories, stumbled upon Mitzi's death, he can be seen mourning her death, unable to save her.

The Agent is a minor antagonist in Season 3 of Animator vs. Animation.

After being created in Pivot Animator and subsequently uploaded to Newgrounds, he appeared on the Outernet, where he met Mitzi and Victim, who were beginning to form Rocket Corp. He began as their head of security and bodyguard. However, after he, Mitzi, and several other associates were teleported back to Newgrounds due to the Chosen One and the Dark Lord's online bloodbath, he was unable to save Mitzi from being incinerated by a fireball and was forced to tell Victim what had happened to her.

Despite the decline of business at Rocket Corp, Agent was among those who remained with the victim until he and another employee told the victim of a strange event captured on one of their video cameras, which showed Mitzi's attacker working alongside the victim's creator and tormentor, Nougai. Realizing that Mitzi's fate was more than just an accident, Agent helped the victim orchestrate a plan to capture and bring justice to them both, leading three other mercenary figures using hoverbikes and glitch-powered weapons to capture the Chosen One and use him to discover Nougai's location, ultimately setting him on a path to conflict with the Second Coming.
