Rossum
Riko
- Establishing Character Moment: She's introduced in the game's first chapter trying to peddle her goods to the Exiles after their arrival in the Rossum sector. Right after she finds out that the Professor is from the real world and they need help navigating the bland cityscapes of Rossum, she offers her help... but only under the condition that the Professor gives her info from the real world as payment. She ends up tailing them all the way back to the Oasis at the end of the chapter, figuring she's stumbled upon an amazing business opportunity.
- Intrepid Merchant: Comes with the territory of being a Trader Agent, although she's noticeably more gong-ho about it than her fellow Traders. Fittingly, she's the one manning the game's Microtransactions shop, appearing in the shop's front page trying to sell goods to the player.
- Stepford Smiler: The Inverted Mordent Resonance event reveals that she puts her all into her trading duties as a way to cope with various Traders around Magrasea facing discrimination and eventually "going missing", which they used to consider tantamout to death until another Trader, Ranko, managed to come back alive after vowing to find a way to end their suffering.
Turing
The Administrator of Rossum Sector, also acting as the head of AI research.
- Motherly Scientist: She treats all the agents she creates like her own children.
- Named After Somebody Famous: Befitting an Administrator of a Sector that focuses on AI research, she is named after Alan Turing
, who is considered a pioneer of computational science. - Swap Teleportation: She has the ability to initiate a data transfer between herself and a Rossum agent of her choosing, causing them to essentially swap positions. This proves to be her undoing when she uses this ability to save her latest agent, Hannah, from a lethal attack by Faith. This causes Faith to accidentally kill her instead of Hannah, her intended target, with automated Sanctifier disciplinary processes immediately demoting Faith to a Lesser Sanctifier, robbing her of her weapons and armor.
T1641
An Abnormal Process encountered by the Exiles. After her rescue, she reveals herself to be one of Turing's many experimental agents.
Hannah
Turing's latest model of experimental Agent, and the one with the most apparent sentience of all of them.
- Heroic Sacrifice: She tries to pull this off as part of her so-called "Rewrite Plan", hoping to rewrite the code of a Sanctifier (in this case, Faith) to turn them to their side through a syringe-like device. She knew that making an attempt on Faith would put her life at risk due to close proximity, but tries to go with it anyway near the end of the Rossum chapter. Her creator, Turing, sacrificed herself in Hannah's stead through her Swap Teleportation ability, valuing Hannah too much to let her go through with the Rewrite Plan.
- Take Up My Sword: After Turing's death near the end of the Rossum chapter, she becomes the de facto Administrator of the Rossum Sector.
Cyclopes
Livia
One of the two Administrators of Cyclopes Sector. She is responsible for the Monitor Agents.
- Accomplice by Inaction: She sees herself as half of the reason why Cyclopes is stuck in a Forever War, failing to do her duty as Tasha's Monitor Agent and reeling her back in from excessive violence as she was programmed to do.
Tasha
The other Administrator of Cyclopes. The Combat Agents are under her jurisdiction.
- Killed Off for Real: Tasha specifically asks Livia to not reset her after she dies, so that the latter will retain jurisdiction over Combat Processes.
Helios
Firewood
The Administrator of Helios Sector, whose sole purpose is to find a way to complete the sector's experimental power source, the Arche Pyr.
- Blind Obedience: Part of the reason why the Exiles initially couldn't escape Helios was Firewood's single-minded devotion to its base layer directives — that is, completing the Arche Pyr at all costs. To that end, he forbids the Exiles from leaving Helios until they contribute to the project.
- "Groundhog Day" Loop: When the Exiles finally meet up with him, he reveals that the Helios Sector's time loops were instated by him to roll back the sector whenever something goes wrong with the Arche Pyr, at which point the sector's Agents gather troubleshooting data. By the time the Exiles arrive in Helios, these rollbacks have occurred roughly 9,980 times, and the sector's due to automatically reset by the 10,000th due to information overload.
- Meaningful Name: "Firewood" is a rather fitting name for someone in charge of a power-producing reactor. He even calls himself "kindling for the Arche Pyr" as part of his introduction.
- Ridiculously Human Robot: Averted; he's one of the few Agents in Magrasea who explicitly appears robotic.
Enigma
Neumann
The Administrator of Enigma Sector.
Eniac
The core of the Enigma Sector's massive computing power. The Exiles are sent to Enigma to find out why Eniac has run amok, causing a "data black hole" to appear and devouer the sector.
- Acid-Trip Dimension: The black hole she accidentally created is described as such, causing a Mushroom Samba-like effect in Dolls hardy enough to survive in it. Those that aren't are instead simply torn to pieces by quantum fluctuations.
- I Just Want to Be Loved: Her rampant state was caused by her desire to earn Neumann's approval. An unknown voice commanded her to absorb data so she can become the best agent Enigma Sector has to offer. When nothing changed between their relationship, she started absorbing more and more data until the process spiraled out of control, causing the "data black hole" the Exiles were sent to investigate.
- Meaningful Name: She is named after ENIAC, the first programmable digital computer in the world.
Pierides
Odile
The Administrator of Pierides Sector.
- Dead All Along: By the time the Exiles and Wisdom's team reach her, she's in the final stage of Entropic infection.
- Evil Makeover: Her white clothing and hair turned black following her Entropic infection.
- Harping on About Harpies: By the time the Exiles encounter her for the second time in the Copley sector, her Entropic infection's so severe that she's developed animalistic features, mainly in the form of her arms being replaced with black-feathered swan wings.
- Mad Artist: Following her infection by the Entropy, she speaks of her surroundings as a play and Agents as actors.
- Walking Spoiler: It's almost impossible to talk about Odile without spilling the beans about Chapter 5 and the events of Divine Heresy.
Odette
Odile's "sister" and fellow caretaker of Pierides's art gallery.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: The events of Chapter 5 Dark Realm reveal that she's responsible for the Entropics' presence in Pierides, taking up the the mysterious outsider's offer for enough free operands to keep the sector's art gallery running despite Odile's reticence and warnings.
Copley
Taranum
The Copley Sector Administrator, who can't be arsed to even acknowledge the presence of Entropics on her turf.
- Exact Words: Her directives state that she must prevent the Entropics from leaving Copley and hide their existence in that exact priority order. Persicaria and Sol rally her to their cause once they point out said priority order.
- Head-in-the-Sand Management: She makes zero effort to hid the fact that merely talking to the Exiles bothers her and keeps showing them the door while ignoring their pleas due to the Rewrite Program affecting her.
Burbank
Meryl
Burbank's administrator. Rarely seen outside of her office building unless it pertains to media production or extremely urgent matters that happen in her domain.
- Early-Installment Weirdness: Kuro's A Day in the Limelight episode, which was released almost a year before the Inverted Mordent Resonance event in the Chinese version, originally portrayed her as more sullen and similar to Taranum in sheer unwillingness to actually manage her sector properly. At least she had an excuse — Burbank had become a Ghost Town after the Wipe-off Incident cut them off from their human clientele, leaving pretty much everyone in Burbank without a purpose in life like the Pierides sector.
- Eccentric Artist: According to Nascita, she's apparently prone to Writing by the Seat of Your Pants as a director, which is promptly demonstrated by trying to write Sol into Mysterious Warrior Omega after crashing a filming session over a misunderstanding rather than try to clear up said misunderstanding with the citizens of Burbank. She also tries to spin the Entropic infestation occurring in Burbank as nothing more than an elaborate stage play with really convincing special effects and shoehorning KTV Agent 1's infection as a Face–Heel Turn, which some of Burbank's citizens think is too much of an Ass Pull even for her. She explains to the Exiles that she does this out of concern for the safety of the Agents of Burbank, as their neural clouds aren't as advanced as Agents in other sectors, trying to play off crises as entertainment in order to not cause mass panic.
- Hikikomori: Burbank's Agents often call her a NEET, but she's more this trope in practice, hardly ever coming out of her office unless she absolutely must.
- Robo Romance: Early on in the Inverted Mordent Resonance event, Eosphorus tells the Professor of an urban legend where a human and Doll couple were ostracized from society, with the Doll being targeted for assassination. Said Doll used a stage play to lure her enemies out in the open and ended up killing them herself through an intricate trap laid out in the script. The human managed to avoid getting his lover decommissioned by uploading her neural cloud to Magrasea as part of Project Neural Cloud. After the Entropic threat is removed from Burbank, the Professor deduces that Meryl was the Doll mentioned in the story, much to her surprise, figuring that she knew more about the real world than Agents native to Magrasea.
Mysterious Warrior Omega/KTV Agent 1
An unnamed agent that plays the eponymous hero of justice in Mysterious Warrior Omega, a Toku show filmed live within Burbank.
- The Berserker: He becomes a mindless brute after getting infected with Entropy. This is reflected in-game, being a Sniper with a piddly attack range of two tiles and a skill set revolving around an Attack! Attack! Attack! mentality that often places him within melee range.
- Emoticon: His emotions are portrayed with speech bubbles containing these, due to the helmet he wears.
- Flat Character: There's not much to him other than being the star of Mysterious Warrior Omega and his Entropy-induced Face–Heel Turn.
- Sequential Boss: His Entropic form is the only boss fight in the Inverted Mordent Resonance event that has two distinct phases, with the second one kicking in after defeating him once.
Ranko
One of the Agents of the Trader Collective and Riko's so-called "esteemed understudy".
- The Apprentice: Riko proudly calls Ranko her "esteemed understudy", having taught her everything she knew on how to survive and do her job as a Trader within Magrasea.
- Deal with the Devil: She's eventually revealed to be the culprit behind Puzzle's automated statues going haywire during Burbank's festivities, having gained control of them through the use of an Entropic flower like the ones that plagued the Pierides sector. She tells the Exiles that someone gave her the flower while she was roaming Magrasea, desperately trying to find a way for the Trader Collective to gain power and end the discrimination against them once and for all.
- Flunky Boss: In her boss battle, she periodically summons a handful of the statues she hijacked from Puzzle, having the same damaging and silencing auras they did elsewhere in the event. What makes hers especially deadly is that they're randomly placed around the arena and can potentially stack up on key units in your formation if you're supremely unlucky. Thankfully, they aren't Invincible Minor Minions and have rather small health pools.
Ascension
Production ID 2887
One of the Ascension Sector's many nameless Agents. De Lacey, Sueyoi and Lind find her just outside of Ascension missing an arm, with De Lacey making it a point to repair 2887 while going about their other business.
- Character Development: Initially a borderline mindless drone like every other Agent in Ascension, 2887 learns a bit about compassion from De Lacey after being repaired by her, realizing there's more to her own existence than getting scrapped for whatever greater cause Elaugh has for them collectively.
- Heroic Sacrifice: As a last-ditch effort to help De Lacey and Sueyoi stop the rampaging Great Creation, 2887 and a few dozen other Agents allow themselves to be devoured by it, which causes it to stop moving in order to use said Agents' operands for self-repair.
- Pre-Sacrifice Final Goodbye: Shortly before the aforementioned Heroic Sacrifice, 2887 calls De Lacey on her comms and explains that, while she still ultimately didn't understand the compassion De Lacey tried to teach her, she still felt the need to thank her for trying anyway. She gets devoured by the Great Creation mere seconds after giving De Lacey her thanks.
Elaugh
Ascension's administrator. She manages the sector with a cult-like devotion to its puropose of managing human prosthetics, and she shows particular interest in Lind's human-like physiology and the experimental data she contains in her neural cloud.
- Desperately Looking for a Purpose in Life: Halfway through the Abberance Chain event, Lind finds out that Elaugh is routinely decomissioning her sector's own Agents in pools of white sludge, adamantly trying to stop De Lacey and Sueyoi from interfering with the process. Elaugh explains that the Agents grew despondent after the Wipe-off Incident cut off their human masters and, by extension, their purpose for prosthetics R&D, so Elaugh created Agents whose sole purpose in life is to be recycled for prosthetics production. The truth turns out to be that the "prosthetics" they were making were really part of something Elaugh calls the "False God", something she and her direct predecessor Avram have been developing for years in order to create an existence within Magrasea that can surpass humans.
- "Not So Different" Remark: Throughout the Aberrance Chain event, she repeatedly tells Lind that they're both alike, usually after commenting on Lind's human-like design and/or the medical experiments stored in Lind's neural cloud. Upon removing her metal mask in front of Lind, she realizes that Elaugh is also similarly human-like in design, explaining to Lind that she was a byproduct of Avram's Creation Plan, which sought to recreate a human consciousness in Magrasea to direct their operations after the Wipe-off Incident. Elaugh uses their similarity to convince Lind to aid in the Creation Plan, claiming that this is the best opportunity for Lind to help humanity with her human-like limitations. Unfortunately, Elaugh's idea of "help" involves stuffing Lind into the body of the False God that the Ascension sector's collectively been building, unwillingly serving as its mind.
Avram (Spoilers Off)
The former administrator of Ascension, and Elaugh's direct predecessor.
- Professor Guinea Pig: Elaugh explains that she made the greatest contribution to the Creation Plan by sacrificing herself for it. It isn't revealed what she meant by that until the later half of the Aberrance Chain event, which shows that the "God" they've been working on has the same blood red hair Avram has, implying she gave herself up to become its body.
- Walking Spoiler: Her purpose in the Aberrance Chain event is solely to give some context into how and why the Ascension sector collectively decided to make "a god", making it hard to discuss anything about her without flat out spoiler tagging everything about her.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: She's the one that drew up the Creation Plan to begin with, whose original goal was to create a human-like consciousness to direct Ascension's prosthetics research in the absence of actual human intervention in the wake of the Wipe-off Incident. Elaugh's records of her make it look like Avram was doing this for purely practical purposes, but a cutscene that unlocks after beating the Aberrance Chain event's final stage shows that Avram was actually the unhinged one with delusions of godhood, with Elaugh originally being reticent about the whole plan.
