Breach

## Main VALORANT wiki's article

Breach is the thirteenth Agent to join the VALORANT Protocol and he is a tech user from Sweden. The Swedish man uses his Radianite-powered prosthetics to get the job done.

## Lore

Swedish man Breach is a tech user who loves to get paid. He was the thirteenth Agent to join the VALORANT PROTOCOL.
Breach is a congenital amputee with artificial arms built by himself, with Raze implementing some major upgrades and custom work. Breach has implied his previous life was as a mercenary. His Agent card and voice lines indicate that he is an experienced criminal who has various tricks up his sleeve. Breach's Agent card *Big Payday* shows that he broke into a vault containing an unknown green substance.

Breach's arms are weaponized with many different abilities such as *Aftershock*, which creates an explosion that penetrates walls and severely damages enemies, *Flashpoint*, a penetrating flash which blinds enemies, and *Fault Line*, which initiates a seismic blast, replicating an earthquake and concussing enemies. Similar to *Fault Line*, Breach has the ability to serve up some *Rolling Thunder* that throws enemies into the air as well as concussing them.

Breach despises Kingdom and openly opposes the corporation. No known reason is confirmed. A retconned beta playercard shows Breach with a dog, likely a Greater Swiss Mountain Dog, leading many to theorize that he has a pet. Breach is also implied to be a drummer; There is a green drum set gun buddy in the battlepass for Episode 4 Act 3 that sports the same elk skull graphic that can be seen on the back of Breach's vest.

Breach was part of the agents sent on The Sting operation to capture Fade after she blackmailed the Protocol; He was chosen due to Sova's recommendation and for his history of extraction missions in his criminal days. After events of the SHATTERED cinematic, Breach did a successful raid on Kingdom Industries stealing various documents, hard-drives and anything that could provide useful information for Cypher to analyze.

### Dossier

The blackmailer released a dossier about Breach in Patch 4.05:

Main article: Agent Dossiers § Breach

The Blackmailer starts their dossier with Breach's family. While all that is explicitly stated is that they were 'perused and punished', it is implied that this was because the family were all criminals.

It is implied that the entire family were proficient and famed at their work, having dedicated a large part of their life to crime. Eventually, however, the law did catch up to them: they were caught, tried, and punished.

Under normal circumstances, all of them would suffer equally: they were, after all, equally responsible for the crimes committed, as accomplices if not the perpetrators themselves. The Judge preceding their trial, however, took pity on little Erik, who was a congenital amputee (born without arms). His punishment wasn't as stringent as for the others, indeed it seems that he got off without any punishment at all.

While the permission to live freely after being caught as a criminal would delight most, Erik wasn't happy. To him, the lenience was a mark of disgrace, a sign that he was 'unworthy' of the same treatment as given to his 'esteemed' family.

Taking this as an insult to his honor, Breach retaliated brutally. Through a string of crimes, Breach proved himself worthy of being considered in the same 'class' as his family. Eventually, despite the first ruling, they were forced to go after Breach again. With the law on his tail, just like they were on his family all those years ago, Breach was finally satisfied.

The dedication to being chased as a convict had an unintentional side effect, though - no longer could Breach enjoy the freedom that had once been so mercifully bestowed upon him. Now a criminal through and through, Breach would have to spend the rest of his days on the run, unable to have a 'normal' life. He could never again enjoy the comforts of home, his name forever stained by the misdeeds.

Other than what is plainly put forward, there are several further conclusions we can draw from this dossier. For example, the 'trip to Salvador' specified here is likely the time where Breach met Raze (seeing as she is from the city of Salvador, in Brazil). Similarly, it is possible his *Big Payday Playercard* (see below) showcases one of the many heists listed in here.

## Appearance

Breach is the tallest Agent in the Protocol; His arms are alluded to be interchangeable and most certainly upgradable. His right arm has a red four-pointed star design on the shoulder and his left shoulder has a green circle with the star shape taken out. Breach is very fond of his arms and boasts that they're "carbon steel with titanium plating". The chest tattoo of Thor's hammer, hair tied back into a braid and numerous mentions in game ties his Viking and Norse paganism into a clean and modern look paired with Earth colors that contrast the elk skull on the back of his jacket with flaming antlers. Breach's shoes have the same symbol from his left shoulder on their backs and the steal toed cap has spikes on the top.

## Relationships

   **Breach**
 Breach has a respect for his double's skills, only considering a battle fair if they both are present.

   **Brimstone**
 Breach dislikes Brimstone for his past connection to Kingdom and often jokes about fighting against him. Breach still believes Brimstone is "here to look out for Kingdom's special interests" and calls him a "corporate sellout". The dislike is shared by Brimstone, who thinks Breach is a loudmouth and a Jackass. Recently (circa patch 5.09) Brimstone supposedly pulled a few strings to get Breach's nephew out of prison, Breach was grateful when he found out about that and later tried to reciprocate the kind gesture by asking Brim to join them for a jam session indicating that both men are gradually working towards building a better relationship.

   **Viper**
 Viper was the one who hired Breach into the PROTOCOL. Breach respects her, admiring her trait to never stop fighting. Viper in turn respects his ability to break apart their enemies, commenting that it was a good idea to hire him.

   **Killjoy**
 Breach has a contempt for Killjoy and her inventions, calling them fragile toys. Breach suggests that Killjoy should improve her bots with stronger materials, like his arms. Killjoy in turn offers Breach extra reactor coolant so that his arms don't overheat. Both ignore the suggestions given to them.

   **Cypher**
 Breach has a general dislike towards Cypher, annoyed by his tendency to spy on him, at times calling Cypher a 'Rat'. His attitude is not improved by the fact that Cypher occasionally steals components from Breach's arms for his own gadgets.

   **Sova**
 Sova has a disdain for Breach's aggressive and impatient rushes into fights. Breach, in turn, scoffs at Sova's belief that he can be stopped with petty arrows.

   **Sage**
 Breach dislikes Sage, considering her defensive abilities to be cowardly and weak. He mockingly calls her an Angel, and scoffs at her slow orb's inability to block his charges

   **Phoenix**
 Breach has an approval for Phoenix, appreciating the "fire in [Phoenix's] eyes". They both share an urge to aggressively rush into a fight, as evidenced by Phoenix's comment on both their Flashes.

   **Jett**
 Breach appreciates Jett's skills, offering her his aid if she ever wished to partake in a life of crime. Jett, in turn, has a healthy respect for Breach and his powerful impacts.

   **Reyna**
 Reyna and Breach have a mutual appreciation, with both of them admiring the other's violent and ruthless methods. Breach jokingly commends her by saying that he's in love.

   **Raze**
 Breach and Raze love to team up and cause destruction wherever they go, whether that be wrecking buildings or stealing other Agents' things for fun. The two have had a long history of friendship and law-breaking before the VALORANT PROTOCOL. Raze has played an important role in improving the relationship between Brimstone and Breach, leaving a voicemail talking to Brimstone about Breach's kind heart despite his crude attitude.

   **Skye**
 Breach and Skye both share a passion for working out, at times hitting the gym together. Skye thinks of Breach as a brutish animal, but in a friendly sense.

   **KAY O**
 KAY/O and Breach often play Billiards together, with KAY/O often winning. They likely play with bets, as KAY/O says that he likes taking Breach's money through the game.
