Shadowborn Agents

Shadowborn Agents were the mysterious foot soldiers of the clandestine group called Shadowborn in the City of Heroes MMO.

Many agents of Shadowborn were recruited from government agencies and still retained their official authority and credentials. This gave them access to weapons and intelligence information that would otherwise be illegal. It also gave them immunity from prosecution.

Agents disguised themselves when working with Shadowborn, often with wigs and sunglasses. They gave themselves simple codenames and had contingencies in place once their missions were accomplished.

Most agents had very limited knowledge of Shadowborn activities. Their scope only pertained to the activities they themselves were asked to take part in. They would be contacted by their superiors. They would never "call in" looking for work.
