Agent Z

A powerful Seeker, a master of worrying status updates, and a connoisseur of antidepressives, Z was (presumably) the youngest yet also one of the most prolific members of the ITB.

Overview
Z began his life as an orphan living on the street, until he was rescued by Agent R, who supposedly saw promise in him. He does have guardians in locum parentis, but they have a strained relationship and frequently argue. This drives Z to spend much of his time alone in 'his' basement.

Within Z's basement are a high-tech isolation immersion tank, where he spends much of his time, a jury-rigged Murder Grid made from pieces of rubbish, and a very large stash of various drugs. Although he shares equipment, resources, and space with other agents, he makes it very clear that they are his property.

Believes that there are such things as Mind Midgets which seem to be connected to the DMT-related phenomena of machine elves. He views them as a nuisance but not necessarily evil, and only solvable via trepanning. He appears to have done this operation on himself numerous times.

He is outspoken, ready to heavily criticise other members for their mistakes. However, he is confident in his abilities, edging towards a sense of omnipotence/omniscience when in the wrong mood.

A quote from Agent J regarding Z: "''You are exceptionally talented as a Seeker, Z. No one is arguing that. But despite your raw power, you have no control over your actions. You have no finesse. You have no artistry to what you do. You are as elegant as a black powder musket. V and L may not have your innate talent, but they accomplish ten times what you do because they have focus and they have dedication." ''This shows, in a nutshell, Z’s capabilities vs. his mindset.

A (somewhat biased) quote from Former Agent Y regarding Z (minus a few redactions): "Speaking of mental issues, Z is a ****ing child. What the actual ****. Do ITB just kidnap children and hook up an IV drug cocktail powerful enough to be considered “cruel and unusual” around the world? Is what what they ****ing do just because some kid can see ultraviolet light? What a ****ing shit-tip. They then continually drug this cunt until they start begging for a ****ing isolation tank?! I don’t even want to think about what sort of hellish creature Z really is, but, rest assured, I know that he’s ****ing nowhere near human. ****ing computerized juggalo belongs in a car crusher."

The Basement Incident
During Operation Prometheus, Z was temporarily off of his medication. SOME EVENTS HAPPENED. R AND Z THREATENED TO KILL EACH OTHER REPEATEDLY. V WAS ON THE BRINK OF MADNESS. HALF THE SERVER GOT DELETED. A HAD TO COME IN AND SHUT EVERYONE UP WITH EXTREME ADMINISTRATIVE POWERS. U REFUSES TO TOUCH DRUGS AGAIN. Z HAS HAD MOST OF HIS STASH REMOVED.

We don't talk about the Basement Incident.

Death
Z tragically died as a result of being tortured by Former Agent Y and then mercykilled by Agent R. This was after Agent U died failing to protect him, and before the Agents, now known as Guardians, gave their lives to end Y's terror. A transcript of Z's suffering exists, but you probably don't want to read it. Really you don't. Here it is: https://pastebin.com/vsMRtzWi
