* MiddleEasternTerrorists: The Caliphate of the Levant. Also the agents Caliph, that has strong connexions with the Islamic State and Daesh.

* BombThrowingAnarchists: The agents Ideal, a crypto-anarchist, Abertzale, a Basque independance movement. The terrorist organisation Anti-Capitalist Brigades also fits the bill.

* {{Expy}}: Thomas Breckenridge, aka 'Maestro', an elite british agent expert in seduction, guns and cars is clearly a JamesBond expy.

* {{Socialite}}: Two agents fit the bill: Kim Joo-Sun, aka 'Aphrodite', Ece Gürdag, aka 'Green crescent' and Ruhi Aman aka 'Noble' are all described as part of TheBeautifulElite and whose abilities revolve around people manipulation and soft power.

[[TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture In the near future]], a paradigm-shifting scientific discovery looms over the world, promising radical new technologies. The world’s superpowers realize they could have the power to destroy the global financial system, wipe out entire countries or even gain access to immortality. However, this discovery — called [[TitleDrop “The Sigma Theory”]] — can only be harnessed by [[ImpossibleGenius a handful of scientists]]. You are placed at the head of your country’s Sigma division. Your objective is to ensure that it is your nation that reaps the benefits of Sigma Theory before anyone else. To achieve this you will have powerful resources at your disposal: a cadre of the world’s most elite covert agents, advanced tactical drones and, of course, [[TheSpymaster your own skills in diplomacy and subterfuge]].

* WildChild: Agent Shiva was one, growing up in the wild after being abandoned in a temple.

* BloodKnight: Some Agents have Traits such as "Nag", which means they'll never factor in collateral damage, or "Bloodthirsty", which means they'll always prefer an option involving killing than a peaceful path.

* TechTree: A limited variant. Sigma Theory research is divided into five fields: Neuroscience, Health, Finance, Robotics, and Astrophysics. Each Tech of a field is learned in a set sequence, with each subsequent Tech being worth one more Sigma Point than the last. When a total of fifteen Sigma Points are gained, the ultimate Sigma Theory discovery becomes available to research, requiring one specialist of each field to complete in reasonable time.

* BadassFamily: At the start of a run, the player can choose their spouse, all of which are possible agents.
* BrainwashingForTheGreaterGood: One of the technologies that can be developed while researching Sigma Theory, if specializing in Neuroscience, is capable of converting captured agents.

* DoubleAgent: It's possible to convert researchers in enemy territories to your side, slowing down their research into Sigma Theory while advancing your own, though they will break ties if contact isn't made with their converter regularly. However, it's possible for the enemy to do this to the player's scientists as well, and your agents might outright leave, start working against you, and need to be replaced if a rival makes enough progress with their own research.
