The Corrupt Guard

The Corrupt Guard, also known as the Undercover Agent (*Episode 1*), and Guard Number 9 (*Audio: The beginning of the end*)was an agent working for another company who secured a job as a soldier at the Facility to steal the technology being developed there.

## Description

The Corrupt Guard wears a red t-shirt, blue jeans and a soldier's mask. He also wears a thin blue coat for a large part of Episode 2. He is in possession of a Green Gun that he uses to "kill" Officer Number "20". As with all museum soldiers, his mask does not possess a shape to symbolise his rank.

## History

### Backstory

The Corrupt Guard has been trying to escape the facility since his assignment to collect the technology has been completed. He works with his boss, Officer Number "20", and together they murder another member of the Facility and hide the body in the room of Number 20 (*Audio: The beginning of the end*). They do this because all members of the facility have a key implanted inside there skeletons. Number 9 then leaves the room and is scolded by an unknown person of higher authority than a soldier (*Audio: The beginning of the end*). After this he is known to take his coat of because the facility is using it to track him (*Audio: The beginning of the end*).

### Day of escape

One year later (*Audio: The beginning of the end*), The Corrupt Guard once again meets with Number 20 and they proceed to carry out the operation. After trying but failing to cut the key out of the skeleton with a knife, he asks Number 20 to pass him some lubricant. Whilst he is doing this, The Corrupt Guard pulls out his green gun and reveals to Number 20 that he is an undercover agent. After a short argument, he shoots his former boss, supposedly killing him. Soon after this he retrieves the key from the skeleton and runs with the body and the key back into Number 20's room. Moments later Guard Number "16" runs into the room and is shot in the back by The Corrupt Guard.

Once he has sorted out the chaos and hidden the body again, Number 9 dons a thin blue coat, very similar to the ones that the Janitors wear. (It is therefore possible that the reason Number 16 is seen wearing an Officers coat in Episode 2 is because the Corrupt Guard used his ordinary coat and replaced it with the coat of Officer Number "20". This would also explain why Number 20 is not wearing his coat in Episode 2.) However, he inadvertently attracts the attention of Guard Number "4". When Number 4 enters the bathroom he immediately realises what has happened and communicates for back-up. This prompts the Corrupt Guard to engage him in a gun fight. The Corrupt Guard ultimately losses the fight and is supposed dead (*Episode 2*).

### Speculation over death

There is much debate as to when The Corrupt Guard actually died. Some people believe that he died as a result of his injuries during his fight with Number "4"(*Episode 2*). This would seem likely as he was shot multiple times and although he was still alive after this, the amount of blood lost would quickly become fatal. Other theories suggest that he was alive after the fight (and was merely unconscious or in some kind of coma) and in fact became deceased later when Number "1" set fire to the facility. Another perspective is that the corrupt guard never died at-all, however this seems unlikely considering how much damage was done to him during episode 2.
