WISE Agent/Synopsis

== Synopsis ==
=== Doggy Crisis Arc ===
At Kemono Park, one of WISE's affiliates in Ostania, the WISE Agent signals to Loid, who is with his family, that he has new orders. After Loid leaves with the Agent, he is surprised to be driving to HQ, to which the Agent replies that this is an emergency summons. He then informs Loid of the assassination plot against Minister Brantz, then divulges more details about it and its conspirers, a group of isolationist students from Berlint University. He tells Loid that they have caught one of the members, but he refuses to speak, which is why they have brought Loid in. The Agent remarks that it must be tough balancing his mission and parenthood, but Loid retorts that it is part of his mission.
After Loid tricks the captured student, Kris, into revealing information on their group and plan, the WISE Agent offers to take him back to the pet shop, but Loid wants to hear what Kris has to say. Loid and the Agent are shocked to hear that the assassination plot involves the use of bomb dogs. Knowing how hard and expensive it is to train combat dogs, the Agent wonders if there is a group backing the terrorists. The agents convene with Sylvia to discuss their next move, and Sylvia orders the WISE Agent to secretly leak the information they just learned to officials of Ostania's ruling party.
After WISE captures and interrogates all of the terrorists, with the exception of their leader Keith Kepler, the agents learn about four potential locations in the city where bombs have been planted. Sylvia sends Loid, the Agent, and another agent, to investigate the most likely location, a clock tower at a plaza. When the agents arrive at the clock tower, they head to the northernmost room on its second floor and are surprised to see the door ahead of them marked with a strange message made with a red substance. While the agents are confused by what it could mean, Loid suggests taking things slowly.
However, the WISE Agent says there is no time as the minister will be leaving soon. Not wanting to be outdone by some college kid, the Agent rushes to the door and reaches for its knob. Loid, wary of the message, stops the Agent, grabbing his hand from opening the door. After looking through a nearby window and using a glass shard, Loid finds a wired bomb on the other side of the door, which was set to explode when the door was opened. While the agents wonder who could have left the message warning them, they make their leave when they spot the SSS approaching.
With Keith's plan now ruined, Loid guesses that he might try some desperate measures and comes up with a new plan: disguise himself as Brantz and let Keith pursue him while the other agents apprehend him. The plan goes off without a hitch, as Loid drives around the city while Keith follows. As his car passes them by, the Agent informs Loid on Keith's car and the dog with him through a walkie-talkie. He tells Loid that they will surround him, telling him to drive to one of their coordinated locations. The Agent ambushes Keith, shooting at his car. However, Keith tosses a stick grenade at the agents, and the explosion flips their car. The injured Agent drags out his partner from the wreckage as he informs Loid that they failed and warns him to be careful.
After Keith is stopped for good and apprehended, the injured agents are taken to Kemono Park, where they receive medical attention. Sylvia and Loid also convene there to discuss the failed assassination plot. The WISE Agent asks if they will hand over the dogs to the Ostanian government, but Sylvia says they will keep them at the pet shop until further orders. Loid leaves to return to his family, and the Agent thanks him for his help.
=== Campbelldon Tennis Arc ===
Loid partners with fellow agent, Nightfall, aka Fiona Frost, on a mission to retrieve an important painting, which is rumored to be the key to accessing dark secrets from the East and the West. Before leaving on their mission, the WISE Agent tells Loid that Fiona seems to be in "a crazy rush to make a name for herself" and tells him to make sure she does not mess anything up. As Loid finds himself in the underground tennis tournament, the Campbelldon, he remembers the Agent telling him this and thinks about how troublesome this mission is.
After Loid and Fiona successfully retrieve the painting, they hand it to HQ for analysis. Sometime later, Loid returns for his briefing with Sylvia and learns that the dark secret that was being kept was Ostanian Colonel Erik Zacharis's collection of starlet postcards, to Loid's bewilderment. Loid asks about the dark rumor, and the WISE Agent reveals that Zacaharis once hosted some Western diplomats at a musical performance but swore them to secrecy to hide it from his wife, and the story he told got embellished over the years.
After Loid finds a photo of Zacharis with his family in the diary, the Agent states that Zacharis was a family man and took the secret of his starlet photo collection to the grave to protect his family's happiness. Sylvia, on the other hand, is creeped out and says that Zacharis should have gotten rid of the photos if he really loved his family. The Agent gets riled up as he argues that the photos were rare collectibles and tells Sylvia that she does not understand the hobby.
=== Cruise Adventure Arc === 
Anya wins two tickets to a cruise trip that Yor will also be on for work, so Loid goes to Sylvia to request some time off to take Anya there. When Loid is surprised that Sylvia allows him to go on the vacation, the Agent whispers to him that she apparently got an earful from upper management about overworking her agents.
=== WISE Arc ===
During the Jonas Wellman scandals, the WISE Agent is seen lounging on the couch watching the news of the controversy on the television. When the agents see the death threat sent to the renowned opera singer, the Agent wonders who could have sent this and supposes that if they catch the person behind the threat, it could leave the East indebted to them. After a popular tabloid releases an article rebutting all of Jonas's scandals, the Agent assumes that they do not have to worry about the death threat anymore, but Sylvia believes that the person who sent it will still attempt to go through with it. While observing the live news footage outside Wellman's office, Sylvia notices a guard looking out of place and tells the Agent, who had been recording the footage, to pause it to further observe the man. After confirming that he is a suspicious individual, Sylvia tells the Agent and the rookie that they will go to the office to stop him.
After reaching the location, Sylvia immobilizes the suspicious guard, and Agent and the rookie quickly carry him away and into custody. At the safe house, the Agent confirms that the guard, Pance Karmer, was the one who sent the death threat and proceeds to describe his background. The rookie feels like he has learned from this incident and decides to see one of Jonas's shows, but the Agent tells him that Jonas might be defecting to Westalis due to an affair with a crime boss's wife. As the rookie gets confused by all this, Sylvia and the Agent change the conversation, confusing the rookie even more.
=== Red Circus Arc ===
The Agent gets word of two Eden Academy school buses getting hijacked by the Red Circus and quickly reports it to Sylvia, who dismisses it as a local police situation. After he tells her that Anya and Damian Desmond are among the hostages, she decides to get involved. The Agent asks if they should bring in Loid, but Sylvia says he is out of town on an undercover mission. She tells him to gather as much intel as they can and support the police behind the scenes. After gathering information on the buses, the Agent reports to Sylvia about the hijacked buses. The Agent tells her about the potential location of the other bus, which she leaks to the police.
Loid hears about the hijacking and quickly races back to Berlint. As the SSS prepares a strike team to storm the bus and kill the terrorists, Loid and the Agent disguise themselves as members. However, the incident is resolved without the strike team needing to assault the bus. Loid is relieved things ended safely and heads out. Before he leaves, the Agent asks if he will have a "tearful reunion" with Anya, but Loid says he needs to maintain his cover but will make her favorite dinner at home.
Sometime after the hijacking, Sylvia arrives at their HQ hidden in the Westalis Embassy for work. After handing her a report, the Agent begins scolding Sylvia for being a slob in the office, yelling at her for leaving half-empty coffee cups and half-eaten donuts around the place. The two argue about important matters, with the Agent emphasizing the hygiene issue at hand.
=== Mole Hunt Arc ===
Winston Wheeler, a mole from the Ostanian intelligence, steals numerous classified WISE documents from their HQ in Westalis, one of them being the operational activity of the agents in Ostania. With Winston on his way back to Ostania to hand the files to the SSS, Sylvia orders her agents to recover them. The Agent, alongside Loid, Fiona, and another agent, travel to Shellbury, which, according to their moles, is where Winston will meet with the SSS. During the trip, the Agent was extremely dissatisfied with the situation, constantly grumbling and complaining about his superiors.
Upon arrival at the SSS territory, all three began to disguise themselves and develop an action plan. The Agent informs another agent about the locations of their other teams and orders Loid to buy time from the SSS and prevent them from meeting with Winston. The Agent, Fiona, and other agents patrol the street near Shellbury Hotel, where they are spotted from the roof by Loid disguised as Winston. With this disguise, Loid lures the SSS agents away to another location. While the WISE agents wait for the real Winston to arrive at the hotel, he never shows, which makes the Agent concerned.
Waiting at the Shellbury Hotel, the Agent and Fiona realize that Winston is not coming, wondering if their intel guy was wrong and if Wheeler changed the rendezvous location at the last second. So, they decide to change their plans. The Agent disguises himself as Gascoigne, the SSS captain in charge of securing Winston at the meetup location. Using himself as bait, the disguised Agent walks around Shellbury to lure out Wheeler. The Agent walks around for a bit to see if Wheeler will show himself, to no avail. He then calls in a fellow agent to stage a car crash.
The Agent looks for anyone who quickly turns away after looking at the crash, as they might be a fellow WISE agent or Winston eyeing a target. The Agent gets anxious after finding no one, but Fiona is able to pinpoint Winston in the crowd and chases after him. Still disguised as the SSS officer, the Agent arrives at the place of Winston's capture, and his sudden appearance allows Wheeler to escape into the sewers. After getting his injured teammate medical aid, the Agent goes down the sewers to assist Fiona.
The Agent arrives at the scene to see Loid, Fiona, and Winston all beaten down to various degrees. He tells them to hurry up as the SSS is surrounding the exits. As Winston is very heavy and Loid being weakened, the Agent helps carry Winston, and the agents leave the sewers with the Agent carrying Winston and Loid carrying Fiona. On their way back, the Agent asks Loid to join him for a drink. Loid declines, as he left on the pretext of a work emergency and adds that it will be rather suspicious if he does not head back soon, surprising the Agent as he assumes he had a fight with Yor. The Agent decides to let Loid deal with his marital problem alone and advises Fiona to do the same.
