Double Agents
- Nicklaus Nightwood/ Dietrich Troy: Billy’s half brother, the son of Scarface and the main antagonist of the game, Dietrich Troy is known to intelligence agencies all around the world as one of the most ghostly terrorists. Also known as the ‘Mastermind,’ it is unknown as to why Troy joined Enigma until the very end; but it is clear that as a child, after suspecting his mother of passing Soviet secrets to the US, Scarface killed her and attempted to kill Troy. However, he survived and froze in a Siberian orphanage. As a revenge for this event, He is known as Nicklaus Nightwood, one of the four junior members of Phantom, to infiltrated both Phantom, for its resources, and Enigma, to get revenge on Scarface. Troy is also responsible for the deaths of four ambassadors to the UN Security Council, Samuel Berkeley, and countless numbers of innocents. Throughout the game he serves as the primary intel gatherer for each of the missions during the missions (Eve is pre-mission). During the infiltration of Wolfgang Castle, Troy captured Michael Kwan who was disguised as Nicklaus and is brought to the Chapel. Within the Chapel, during Billy’s and Sheila’s detainment, Troy execute Michael before their very eyes. Troy is killed when Delta Force crashes through the ceiling of the Wolfgang Chapel and opens fire. However, that Troy was but a decoy as The real Troy (disguised as Michael) fled the scene. Troy is finally killed by Billy and Sheila when the escape airplane exploded.
- Michael Kwan: One of the Phantom NPC’s, Michael Kwan is one of the four junior members of Phantom. Throughout the game Michael serves as the primary tech-man for each of the missions. During the infiltration of Wolfgang Castle, Michael appears in the Chapel after the fighting stops. He explains to Billy and Sheila that yes, he was hiding, but it was because he’s a ‘survivor,’ that he ‘wants to live to fight another day.’ However, after Phantom departs, Michael runs off and flees to the nearby airbase. Michael rips off a mask and reveals himself to actually be Nicklaus: Michael actually was the one who died within the Chapel. On a second note, however, Michael was also working as a double agent because he was passing information to Troy in exchange for a mystery program and a reappointment to the CIA. On Troy’s and Kwan’s last encounter, Troy tranquilizes Kwan and disguises his limp body as Nicklaus.

Famous quotes containing the words double and/or agents:
“Even in harmonious families there is this double life: the group life, which is the one we can observe in our neighbour’s household, and, underneath, another—secret and passionate and intense—which is the real life that stamps the faces and gives character to the voices of our friends. Always in his mind each member of these social units is escaping, running away, trying to break the net which circumstances and his own affections have woven about him.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
“Luckless is the country in which the symbols of procreation are the objects of shame, while the agents of destruction are honored! And yet you call that member your pudendum, or shameful part, as if there were anything more glorious than creating life, or anything more atrocious than taking it away.”
—Savinien Cyrano De Bergerac (1619–1655)
