Agent Y or "Wyatt" is a field agent and former archivist for the National Bureau of Normalcy. He was one of two agents assigned to investigate Down to Film, the other being Agent Z.

## Personality

Agent Y is dry, by-the-book, and socially withdrawn. He takes his job very seriously and is annoyed when his partner, Agent Z, doesn't. He doesn't seem to know how to interact with other people, especially young people.

He is devoted to the Bureau's mission and firmly believes that meta-beings are dangerous monsters that must be contained.

## Biography

### Background

In an audio log released as promotional material, Agent Y is revealed to have worked for the Bureau for over a decade as an informational archivist.

When the Bureau began struggling due to undefined budgetary issues, Agent Y applied to become a field agent as a way to "help" the Bureau. His application was approved, and he was later assigned to investigate Down to Film, along with his new partner, Agent Z.

### The TSTV Investigation

Agent Y meets Agent Z outside of the William Randolph Hearst building, where he shuts down Agent Z's attempts at small talk. He informs Z that they will be receiving a call from the Director of the Bureau, who will give them their brief. When Z expresses doubt that the Director would waste time calling them himself, Y explains that things work differently at the Bureau and that the Director "likes to get involved."

The Director calls the two agents, and Agent Z almost immediately pisses him off, much to Y's horror. Agent Y attempts to apologize for Z's behavior, but the Director brushes him off. After the Director hangs up, Agent Y slaps Z over the back of the head with the mission dossier and chastises him for disrespecting the Director.

After receiving their brief, the two agents don their disguises (backward baseball caps) and attempt to join Down to Film, posing as students. Clearly unsure of how younger people talk to one another, Agent Y addresses the Cryptids with a garbled mess of half-understood youthful terms and pop-culture references while Z does his best to translate. Despite his panicked ramblings, Molly allows the two to join the show.

As the two agents observe the various crew members, Y warns Z that meta-beings are "insidious creatures" who have had "millennia to develop methods of blending in with their prey." Under his instruction, the two agents begin testing the crew members to see whether or not they are meta-beings.

They begin with Lola. Y convinces Z to place a magnet on the Wurgalux's back while he distracts her. Their plan works, and the magnet sticks, but Lola catches Z and asks him if he needs anything. Bluffing, Agent Z deflects the question and offers to help with sound. As the two agents go to collect the sound equipment, Y compliments Z on how he handled the situation. He's concerned, however, when Z slips up and refers to Lola as "she" rather than "it."

Next, Agent Y convinces Z to distract Wyly while Y slips silver powder into his food. Y's plan is successful, and Wyly runs from the room on the verge of vomiting after eating a contaminated treat. Y is disturbed to find, however, that Z appears regretful for what they've done. Y reprimands Z for his unprofessional behavior and reminds him that they have a job to do.

Later, Agent Y pulls Agent Z aside and informs him that they've collected all the evidence they need. He tells him to call for backup, then begins loading his tranquilizer gun. When Agent Z insists that they still don't have enough evidence, Y accuses him of having been affected by Wyly's "sob story." However, Y is finally convinced when Z points out that they still haven't located the FANNTM Phone and that the Director will likely be displeased if they call it quits before finding it. Agent Y agrees to continue the investigation for a little longer but warns Z not to get attached.

## Relationships

**Agent Z:** Agent Z is Y's partner, who he seems to view mainly as an annoyance. He dislikes Z's casual attitude and is troubled by his apparent sympathy towards the meta-beings.

**The Director:** Agent Y appears to fear and respect the Director in equal measure, simultaneously demanding that Z respect him and fearing his wrath should they fail.
