An Agent is a tool, something or someone that the World uses to depict an environment that Makes Sense, to Rock the Boat by shaking things up, and bring a specific theme to the fore.
An Agent is not necessarily adverse or dangerous to the Protagonists. An Agent acts of its own accord and volition, out of the Protagonists’ control. That’s all it is and all it does. Sometimes it will provide help and opportunities. Sometimes it will provide opposition and adversity. Sometimes it will just shift things around in a way that isn’t obviously good or bad.
