* PosthumousCharacter: A more [[UncertainDoom ambiguous case]]. They were a top spy until their last mission, where they disappeared under currently unknown circumstances. Regardless of their ultimate fate, their absence is keenly felt by Agents Ace and Chavez--who were their teammates during that fateful mission--and Agent Squire, their former apprentice and successor...not to mention the implications that their final failed mission was the IncitingIncident for Deceive Inc.'s existence in the first place.
