**Agent Curt Mega** is the main character of Spies are Forever. He is played, and named after an actor of the same name, Curt Mega (actor).

## Description

Agent Curt Mega is a spy formerly working for the American Secret Services (a parody name of the United States Secret Services). He is presumably working independently following the events of the musical.

## Personality

Agent Mega's personality closely follows those traits commonly in spy media, popularized by the literary character James Bond. He is witty, high energy, confident, and risk taking. This is contrasted greatly by the agent's flaws. He is shown to be brash, dramatic, and often not the smartest, often making inadvisable decisions to the detriment of himself and those around him. He is often seen upping danger without reason and making situations more complicated then necessary.Despite this, he is shown to be charismatic and determined under pressure.

### "The Return of Agent Mega" and Onwards

Following the presumed death of his former partner and lover, Owen Carvour, and a 4 year time skip, Mega maintains much of these traits, but becomes far less trusting for fear of getting anyone else hurt. But after bonding with Tatiana Slohzno when sharing this, as well as killing Owen following the events of "Get to the Chase Already!!", he starts to redevelop his ability to trust.

## Biography

### Before the Musical

#### Childhood

Despite being the main character of Spies are forever, very little is actually known about Agent Mega's past. He was presumably born sometime c. 1940 in the United States to his mother, Mrs. Mega and unnamed father. His father would later abandon the Mega family when Curt was still a baby, leaving his mother to raise him alone.

#### Life Working for A.S.S.

Sometime in his adulthood, Agent Mega was hired as a special agent to work for the A.S.S. and the United States government. Mega would eventually gain some form of notoriety for his spying, and earning the title "the Most Famous Spy in the World" from Sergio. Due to the time period, Curt likely had a focus on Russia and other matters relating to the Cold War.

Eventually, when working collaboratively with MI6 and British Intelligence, Curt would meet Agent Owen Carvour, a British spy. The pair's relationship would eventually become romantic. Due to the respective governments' policies on homosexuals (specifically the Lavender Scare for the States and British policies originated after two of the Cambridge Five's confessions), both kept this relationship a secret for their own safety and job security, but were still close enough to warrant people noting them as "good friends". Despite this relationship, Agent Mega and Owen being sent on missions together is seemingly an uncommon occurrence outside of matters relating to the Russians, as both agent's countries had tense relationships with them at the time. Despite this, in spring of 1956, the pair had a mission in Berlin, Germany, in which they escaped a building set to explode in only 6 minutes, what would stand as their fastest escape from a explosion .

Curt would at some point purchase a safe house in Guadeloupe for his mother to live in. Though she is supportive of his career choice, and seemingly has some knowledge of it herself, Mrs. Mega is annoyed at her sons inability to visit her. Curt has on various occasions brought what she describes as "drinking buddies" over.

### Act 1-

#### Russian Weapons Facility - 1957

Agent Mega, while on a mission to collect blueprints of new weapons being developed by the soviets, is seemingly caught while breaking in. After a few failed attempts at torturing out why Mega was there, one of the two men holding him captive reveals himself to be Owen in disguise, having been sent on special mission from MI6.

    While escaping the weapons facility, Curt takes out a flask, prompting Owen to criticize him for for drinking on the job, but quickly joining him after very little more complaint. Following this, Curt pressures Barb into letting them artificially up the danger of the escape, siting it as 'boring', and getting her to let them blow up the facility as an escape. After accidentally breaking a guard rail on the stairs and dropping a banana peel on the ground, claiming it didn't matter, Mega set up the charges to blow after 3 minutes, a minute less then Owen's recommendation, in order to continue upping the danger. Due to this shorter limit, Curt keeps Owen from any further safety precautions so they can escape as fast as possible.

The scene ends with Owen slipping on the banana peel, off the unguarded stairs, and down into the facility. Without the time to go save him, and fearing for his own life, Curt is forced to leave Owen in the soon to Detonate building, and presume him dead.

Following the loss of his partner and lover, stricken with guilt and grief, Agent Mega takes a break from his position at the A.S.S. and attempts to cope with his loss on his own. Over this period of time, Curt develops both alcoholism and grows out a beard. And despite his many attempts over his break from the agency, he is unable to ever better himself or recover from Owen's apparent death, and just continues his cycle of alcohol abuse. After 4 years, Mega decides that going back to the Secret Services would help him get back on his feet and enjoy life again.

#### Budapest, Hungary - 1961

After a brief meeting with with the Informant, Agent Mega is given a gun, his orders, and a passive aggressive note from Cynthia.  His orders direct him to a arms deal for a Hydrogen bomb between a man name Sergio and the Deadliest Man Alive.

Still shaken from being back in the field, Curt makes his way to the arms deal, having to force himself to push past the hesitation and fear. Though while he does so, he notices another spy, Tatiana, also approaching the deal, and swoops in at the same time in order to stop her. DMA, recognizing Mega, attempts to take his gun to shoot him, but is unable to before it is unloaded, forcing him to run off, and promise that he wasn't done with him yet. After a quick fight with Tatiana, Curt is only able to get away with the location of the casino she is staying at.

Heading back to the American Secret Service HQ in America with a failure on his hands, Agent Mega is immediately scolded by the the Director of A.S.S., Cynthia, for letting the bomb get into the hands of a Russian while their still in the Cold War. After a briefing on DMA, the World Peace Gala, how he shouldn't be drinking anymore and her disappointment in his 4 year hiatus, she eventually hypes up Curt to go to the Casino where Tatiana is staying to get more information on her motives and who she works for.

Curt, before leaving, stops by the science division of A.S.S. to pick up some spy devices to use along the way. Barb, the head of the division, is able get Curt to shave while he's there, and give him supplies for the mission.

#### Richman's Casino, Monte Carlo, Monaco - the Following Evening

While perusing the Casino, Agent Mega has a flashback to his time with Owen, giving him a panic attack just as he starts his mission. After once again meeting up with the Informant, and informing him that he must look suave and cool to be able to get alone with Tatiana and get back the bomb.

Once he meets up with Tatiana, and being met with a string of events putting him in a poor light (including bad luck at cards, a stressed out and upset wait staff, and a nosy, stereotypical patriotic American named Dick Big), he is still able to head up to her room with her. After some begrudged flirting between the pair, Tatiana reveals she is not from the Russian government, rather, an independent contractor, and says she will lead him to the bomb.

Before she is able to open the door, she apologizes, and it is revealed she is working with the Deadliest Man Alive, as well as Dr. Baron Von Nazi. The pair reveal to Mega that they now hold the power of a worldwide surveillance network, but quickly being shot down when DMA tries to continue due to his boredom of the topic. Baron then explains his plan to get control over the New Democratic Republics of Old Socialist Prussian Slaviscia by ransoming off their capital city, as well as their heavily disliked ruler, Prince Toygle Feurgin for power at the World Peace Gala. DMA continues on, saying they will build a castile on a spot he specifically chose, high in natural minerals. Von Nazi orders Tatiana to ready the bomb for transport and DMA to kill Mega, before leaving to go eat a cheese burger.

    The Deadliest Man Alive mocks Curt, promising to "torture the living shite" out of him. DMA, following through on this promise, rips out teeth, electrocutes him, punches him, and strangles him with a chain, saying he does it just for his own amusement. Throughout this, Curt realizes this is likely his end, and starts to panic, but never regretting going back to being a spy. Right before DMA can finish off Mega, Tatiana comes rushing in, realizing she's been betrayed, and knocking out the man with the suitcase containing the H Bomb. She tells Agent Mega to get out of there with her, but despite the circumstances, Curt refuses any form of help, still afraid of trust since Owen, but eventually gets himself to follow her. Tatiana proceeds to say something that reminds him of Owen, giving him a flash back, and making him hesitate long enough for the Deadliest Man to wake up and shoot him in the side.

After they both get away, Barb comes to Curt's side in the elevator of the hotel, with Tatiana presumably having fled. Mega, still unstable from the injury, is determined to make it to the World Peace Gala and stop DMA and Von Nazi. Barb informs him that he no longer has authorization to continue the mission, and doing so would be going against direct orders, and he would be jeopardizing the jobs of hundreds in the process. Curt, still afraid of his own incapability as a spy, tells her that he's going anyway, because hes supposed to be the best spy of all time, and Barb promises that she always has his back.

### Act 2-

#### The World Peace Gala, Geneva Switzerland- the Next evening

Agent Mega, attempting to stir some sort of action, goes to Cynthia and Susan to tell them about the plan, but is shot down, Cynthia stating that she would rather the price die, much to his dismay. He is ordered once again to go home. Seeing the Russian diplomat, Vladimir Poopin, Curt attempts once again to get any form of help on his mission, but is once again shot down.

Seeing he has little choice, Mega decides to go rouge, taking away radio personality Vanger Borschtit's microphone and telling the whole gala about DMA and Von Nazi's plan. This action prompts a quick change of plans for them, as they shoot the prince dead on the spot and use Curt's confession to turn the New Democratic Republics of Old Socialist Prussian Slaviscian populous on the world governments.

Tatiana once again comes along, seeing Mega in need of saving, and dragging him out of there as he realizes he has fatally messed up, and bringing him to his safe house while they figure out where to go next and wait for things to cool down.

#### Curt's Mom's Safe House, Guadalupe - One Day Later

One day after the incident in Geneva, Curt and Tatiana take some time to cool off at a safe house that Curt's mom lives in. Though she is somewhat overbearing to the pair, insistent that they are dating, Tatiana is still appreciative of her, saying that she reminds her of her own mother back home in Russia. Eventually Mega is able to shoo off his mother so she can make new fake passports for the pair. This gets Tatiana to talk about her own family and past. After she shares her history with the KGB and why she was working for DMA and Von Nazi, Tatiana prompts Curt to similarly open up, having noticed his apprehensiveness towards working with others. Mega, seemingly more comfortable with her, shares his fears of never being the spy he once was and fears having to work with other after loosing Owen. She tells him that all he can do is move on and trust those around him.

Curt, misunderstanding Tatiana saying "maybe you'll find a new partner" due to his past experience, and noticing her touching his hand to comfort him, assumes her to be flirting. Unsure what else to do, he uncomfortably starts to flirt back, saying that, the relationship is meant to happen due to them both being spies, and not seeing her shared discomfort as she flirts back. After an uncomfortable kiss, Tatiana stops Agent Mega, finally accepting she's not interested. Curt to begrudgingly admits to her that he's not attracted to women, which she is quick to be accepting of. The pair happily accept their relationship is purely platonic on both sides.

#### New Democratic Republics of Old Socialist Prussian Slaviscia - The Next Day

A day later, Agent Mega and Tatiana head to a bar to meet up with the rest of the team. Without much of a plan, and very little in the way of supplies, they realize they will struggle to complete the mission as enemies of the state. Nonetheless, the group bond with some shots, and Curt breaks his few day long sobriety. After a night of drinking and becoming closer friends, the group head out to complete their mission.

In the Prussian War Room the next evening, with the Informant disguised as the Royal Notary, Baron is able to quickly enlist the help of the Prime Minister and the official with him, as well as get them to sign over the land for the "Nazi Capital" after the Deadliest Man reminds him to do so. Before they can move any further, DMA smells the smell of Mega off of the Informant, and informs Von Nazi, just as Mega and Tatiana barge in. As the Official and Prime Minister run off, DMA stabs Von Nazi in the back with a hunting knife, remarking that he no longer needs him, having only ever done it for the deed to the Prussian land.

While Agent Mega tries to understand his motives, the Deadliest Man remarks that he's understood Mega since the start, removing his mask and revealing himself to be Agent Owen Carvour in disguise, having been alive the whole time, hellbent on vengeance since Curt left him to die.  After explaining his views and motives, he also reveals the existence of the group Chimera, and his involvement with them. Having been sent to take the Nazi surveillance system from Baron and gain ownership over the Prussian land, being rich in silicon, so they would have the resources to release the technology on a global scale essentially ridding the world of spies forever. Owen taunts the group with the size of the current system and how they could never destroy it, and shooting the informant, and walking off, telling Tatiana not to "slip up". The Informant dies soon after while trying to say the name of the country they are in. Tatiana tells Agent Mega that she can go and destroy the system, siting that he needs to be the one to go after his former partner.

Leaving Tatiana to her own mission, Agent Mega chases after Owen on motorcycle, then through the ocean on speed boat while she and Barb work out how to stop the system from activating.

#### International Weapons Museum, Eastern Europe - a Few Hours Later

While on the chase, Owen stops by an International Weapons Museum (likely somewhere in Finland, Estonia or Latvia based on their modes of transportation and eventual destination), prompting the pair to grab fighting staffs on display to fight with, then moving up to mid-evil swords when they aren't able to hurt one another, all the while, arguing over the directions they both went in life. Eventually they both attempt to use old display muskets, but both fail to get either to work, so continue the chase.

From the museum, Owen and Curt both hang glide across the ocean until they land in Russia.

#### Russian Weapons Facility - a Few Hours Later

After they fight hand to hand on the roof of the budling, proclaiming their relationship over, Owen and Curt head in, stopping at the stairs in which Owen fell, and holding one another at gun point. As Mega explains his team has destroyed the island facility, Owen reveals that there was more then just one, and that Curt will never catch up to Chimera and their plans. Mega tries to reason with him, but Owen snaps, revealing he only ever did this to destroy everything Curt ever knew as vengeance for leaving him to die. Owen goes on to say that this technology is the future and there's no stopping it, even though he's inevitably going to try. He explains to Agent Mega that in the future, agencies, spies, and secrets will all be laid to rest. Curt reminds Owen what that would mean for them both, having had to keep their own romantic relationship a secret for so many years. Owen hesitates at this, but stands his ground nevertheless, telling Curt that their secret is dead, and that he needs to move on. In retaliation to this comment, Mega shoots Owen's gun from his hand and shoots him dead, taking his advice.

### Epilogue-

A few days after killing Owen, Curt walks into Cynthia's office to put in his 2 weeks notice, only to be told he is already fired after what he pulled at the Gala. She remarks that the future of spies isn't going to be people anymore, but computers, but that these changes need to be taken in stride. After leaving the office he meets up with Barb, who tells him her technology division and the data analysis division have merged. Curt remarks that he will still be asking for her assistance on the inside, even if he's left the agency, and she excitedly agrees to do so.

After leaving the headquarters of the American Secret Service, Mega meets up with Tatiana for coffee, where she notes his coffee to be spiked with whisky, despite it being only 9 in the morning. She remarks that its good to see him taking care of himself, even after having to bury his ex-lover, and he tells her that she "knocked it out of the park" with her work blowing up the island facility. Mega tells Tatiana that he's likely going off the grid for some time, before giving her a set of fake passports for her and her family to use to leave Russia and start a new life.

After he says his goodbyes to Tatiana for the time, Mega answers a call from his mother. He asks her to make a to-do list to put on the fridge: 1) "a trip to Barney Goodman for a new suit" 2) "restock the bar" and 3) "TAKE NOW CHIMARA"

The musical ends with Mega explaining that, though it will likely be harder on his own, his instincts will always be stronger then any machine, and with the ability to trust those around him, as well as himself, he will be able to succeed.

## Relationships

### Owen Carvour

Owen Carvour is Curt's former partner and lover turned enemy.

#### Pre 1957

It is unknown how Owen and Curt met at this time, though by the start of the musical , it seems they likely they had known each other for a while. Due to the governmental regulations in both their home countries on homosexuality in their field , as well as social norms at the time, the romantic aspect of the pair's relationship is kept strictly a secret, with seemingly no one being let known over the course of their time together.

Though the pair are in a romantic relationship, they have a tendency to poke fun at each other light heartedly, with Curt referring to Owen as a "limey bastard" and mocking his accent, and Owen referring to him as "Old Man/Old Boy" and telling him to "sod off" as forms of endearment. This is seen even going as far as Owen letting Curt be tortured while he was undercover to mess with him. Along with this lighthearted bullying, the couple have a tendency towards flirting at importune times as part of both of their cocky personalities. This can be seen particularly strongly with Curt, even fliting with Owen in the Russian Weapons Facility while he was still in disguise once he picked up it was him.

#### 1957 and On

After Curt was forced to escape the Russian Weapons facility without Owen, he joined forces with Chimera, and grew intensely bitter for the man. It is unknown how much of his hate for Curt is a result of outside forces, but it is likely that blamed him even before Chimera. This hate for his ex was strong enough to grow into an obsession with the destruction of not only him, but anything he believed or cared about, so strongly despising him that he turned against his own beliefs as well. Despite this hate, there is some lingering care for Curt in Owen, though only enough to cause him to hesitate at times, and even apologizing in One Step Ahead.

After struggling with his own involvement in Owen's death as well, Curt seemingly struggled with accepting Owen as a villain, even as he laid out his hate for him. Despite knowing all the awful things Owen did, Mega still attempts to reason with him . By the end of the musical, it seems Curt has moved on from Owen, no longer seeming guilty, despite directly causing his death. Seemingly at this point, he is able to fully understand that the man he loved was already gone by the time he shot Owen, and figuratively and literally putting him and their relationship to rest.

### Tatiana Slozhno

Tatiana Slozhno is one of Curt's friends.

    Initially, Tatiana was an enemy of Curt, having stolen the H Bomb from him during the arms deal, and reluctantly leading him right into a trap set up by Von Nazi and Owen. She is quick to regret this upon finding out that she had been betrayed by them, and quickly swoops in to save Curt when she does.

The pair's relationship is initially meant to provoke the idea of a James Bond and a typical Bond Girl's relationship  seen in nearly every spy movie, where, because our male lead meets a woman on a mission, the audience is right to assume they will be romantically and/or sexually involved. This trope is carried over into the perception of Tatiana and Curt, where they both begin to assume that, their relationship is supposed to happen, not knowing the other is uninterested, and in Tatiana's case, not knowing Curt isn't attracted to women. This preconception of their relationship is carried on until kiss at the safe house, causing Tatiana to admit she is uninterested, and Curt to admit his sexuality.

Following this interaction, the pair are shown to be very close friends. Through Tatiana's friendship, Curt builds a healthier view on trust and feels more comfortable being around the people he cares about in life. Through Curt's, Tatiana is able to destroy any information the Russian government could use to find her, and be with her own family again.

### Barb Larvernor

Barb is friend and co-worker of Curt.

Barb is seemingly the main technology correspondent that is assigned to work with Curt, and is therefor quite used to his shenanigans and more negative character traits. The pair's ability to work together is questionable as she seems to be incapable of stopping him from making poor decisions, even when she knows they are inadvisable. Due to this, he is often seen ignoring her advice and choosing danger over simplicity or advisability. He often brushes off what she has to say or ignores her when she talks, though seems to be a little more friendly with her by the time the musical ends.

Agent Mega is often seen not listening to Barb when she talk, even walking around to look at things in the lab when she's first introduced. This fact, along with all of Mega's less likeable traits seem be a point of annoyance for Barb, but she doesn't seem to be able to express it much due to her personality.

Barb is often seen making advances on Curt and misinterpreting his easy to understand sentiments as flirting, though seems to be at least vaguely aware he does not reciprocate her feelings. Curt often seems to not see or understand Barb's flirting, though this seems to be mostly out of discomfort rather then lack of awareness.

### Cynthia Houston

Cynthia Houston is Curt's boss.

Cynthia seems to be really snappy when it comes to Curt's personality, often using drastic methods in order to keep his attention and test him. Despite this, she seems to care for him, saying he's like a son to her, even if she has a tendency to he harsh on him at times. As he is one of the best spies in the country, Cynthia and Curt seem to be very well acquainted. Cynthia seems to go to Curt for her main missions when a good agent is needed, meaning see likely sees him as one of her best, even when she is hard on him.

Despite her harsh treatment of him, Agent Mega seems to see the best in Cynthia, not seeing her as a bad boss. He often doesn't expect her to be malicious, though at times, is proven to be wrong.

## Trivia

* The main inspiration for Agent Curt Mega is the literary and film character James Bond, parodying both him and the leads of the same genre.
	+ With specifically his relationship to Tatiana, Curt's character is intended to be subversive to Bond's charm always getting him the girl, even mentioned in Spies Are Forever (song) as a trope associated with the genre, despite this, the pair's relationship, though strong, is intended to be platonic. This subversion is taken one step further when Agent Mega's homosexuality is taken into account.
	+ Mega is also seen with a adrenalin junky adjacent mindset, often throwing himself into needless danger without much of a reason, which is common with spy and action movie leads, though this trope is played off of in the series, as he lacks the plot armor that leaves many similar characters from seeing any consequence.
* Throughout the musical, Agent Mega is often seen referring to Owen as his partner, this is intended to have a double meaning, as the pair were both work partner and in a romantic relationship.
	+ It should be noted despite this, due to the fact they work for differing agencies, that they can't generally be considered partners in relation to their work as spies.
* Though it is not shown to the limitations of theater, following the events of Time to Die, Curt has at least one missing tooth after it was removed by Owen as a torture method
	+ Though it is hard to analyze due to the limitations, it appears to have been a tooth on the left side of his face, likely a premolar or incisor based on the shape
* Curt Mega is the only character in Spies Are Forever to have an actor play him exclusively, as he appears in every scene
* Agent Mega shares a lot of traits commonly associated with ADHD, specifically in his rash decision making and inattentiveness
	+ It should be noted that this in no way effects Agent Mega's capability as a spy, as he is shown to be a very proficient at his job despite the shortcomings it does seem to cause him
* Using his real life actor's height as a guide, Mega would be 5'10"
	+ This would mean there is a height difference of 3 inches between him and Owen, and a 4 inch height difference between him and Tatiana

4. ↑  **Speculation and Research citation:** Matters relating to Russia and the Cold War took up a significant amount of the American governmental focus at the time
> **Speculation and Research citation:**In April 27th, 1953, Executive order 10450 was enacted, barring any worker speculated to be or openly a homosexual from working in the federal government as an offshoot of similar bans resulting from the Cold War known as the Red Scare. These bans were created due to preconceptions of homosexals being more traderious, as well as being easier to blackmail due to their sexuality. This order would stay in place for the next 20 years, until 1973, in which it was repealed by a federal judge.— More information on Executive Order 10450 (Wikipedia page).
> **Speculation and Research citation:**The British MI6, due to the fear of closeted homosexuals being blackmailed, had a long standing ban on open homosexuals in their ranks that was especially prevalent in what would be considered the cold war in America. Part of this may be attributed to multiple cases in which KGB agents would seduce and blackmail other agents, along with the newfound fear of KGB agents disguised as british MI6 agents after the Cambridge Five Incident, of which 3 of the 5 in question were LGBT in some way— More information on this, as well as other intelligence history (PDF Essay).
