** "Codename: Family Bonds" shows that while he might be highly biased towards Tim (who, in his defense, it actually really good at his job), he still recognizes his other agents. In that episode, he trusts Kaitlyn with a task and tells her he thinks she's his best (other than Tim) because she's fair rather than ruthless.

** About the only good thing is that he has a steady job (he was unemployed for some time at the start of the series). And even this is debatable since, as competent as he is, his boss is well... borderline insane with a man-crush on him as big as the MI5 building.

But that doesn't mean he doesn't take his job - or the skills he's learned - seriously. [[spoiler: When he needs to, such as in "Codename: Lie Hard", he'll drop the act.

* CursedWithAwesome: When Marcus ends up going with Tim to the office, Tim has to hide what he does or he'll get fired. It's a curse because Marcus thinks very little of him to begin with so Tim's attempts come off as just him being embarrassed about what he does. [[spoiler: Ends up being a CrowningMomentOfAwesome when Tim uses his skills to subdue an MI6 agent and help Marcus get to his cello lesson... but again, he has to have Marcus close his eyes in order not to reveal what he does.]]

Work titles are always given in italics. Apparently no such trope as The Accidental Spy and I can\'t see what is intended. We don\'t make new tropes via redlink, YKTTW is the place to go to propose new tropes. Never a matter of \"of course\" since the reader isn\'t expected to neccessarily have seen any particular work. Fix links — Camel Case is sufficient unless we need a variaiton like a plural. See Text Formatting Rules for more.
