Agent X also known as Sam Hill or The Star Spangled Planner is a former journalist and Super Agent of P.A.T.R.I.O.T in Evil Genius 2.
Description[]
Agent X wears a blue fedora with a white stripe. To help conceal his face, he guards it with a red bandana. Agent X wears a blue trench coat and black gloves. Beneath that is a vest textured with the American flag. Agent X wields two shotguns "Truth" and "Justice". Justice being red, and Truth being blue.
Agent X's appearance matches his personality well. He acts heavily patriotic to America, and P.A.T.R.I.O.T. He will often make references to famous American heroes and several famous quotes.
Behaviour[]
Like all super agents, Agent X will appear on the map once you have caused enough trouble in P.A.T.R.I.O.T territory. While on the map, Agent X will watch over territories for any activity from your minions. Should the player send minions out to do any type of schemes in the same region as Agent X, Agent X will take note and watch them. Should the scheme finish, Agent X will begin to gather a team and then visit the Lair. The player can sabotage his efforts to attack with a scheme which will increase how long he takes, and weaken his team.
Upon arrival, Agent X will teleport into the lair alongside his team of Investigators and begin to search around. He will take photos of any object with heat and attempt to deliver said Evidence back to P.A.T.R.I.O.T increasing your heat level, and resulting in P.A.T.R.I.O.T sending stronger forces against the player. Agent X will occasionally stop and place Evidence Briefcases down. Should any agent find this, their heat will hit max.
In combat, Agent X will equip his shotguns and try to kill off any minions from a distance. Should a minions get close, Agent X will not hesitate to fist fight them to death. Upon hitting low health, Agent X will throw down a smoke bomb and retreat from the Lair, he will reappear on the world stage after a period of time to repeat the cycle.
Storyline[]
Agent X's story line is as follows: The Star Spangled Planner -> Uncle Sam -> Manifest Entropy -> X Agent-> One of us (optional)
WARNING: The following page contains spoilers. Should you wish to defeat Agent X yourself or recruit him, stop reading now.
In The Star Spangled Planner, Agent X introduces himself but the genius tries to brush their operation off as a mere resort. However, Agent X claims he is not fooled and claims he knows what they are doing, and will not stop until they are exposed. The player must disrupt P.A.T.R.I.O.T on the world stage to anger Agent X. After which the player must make 3 criminal networks in P.A.T.R.I.O.T territory tier 2. After which the player must lure Agent X to the lair. Upon doing so, Agent X will come alone. The player must defeat him but like all super agents, he will retreat. The genius mocks him and claims he found nothing of use. However he will claim he found everything he needed and plans to publish it soon. (However nothing seems to happen.)
In Uncle Sam, The genius speaks with Agent X implying that they are willing to hire him as a henchman. Agent X shoots down the offer instantly, however, the genius says that if they are willing to fight for their country, they will soon have to fight for their life. The player must embarrass Agent X 3 times on the world stage in order to infuriate him. Once done, the player must look into Agent X's past with a research project. Afterwards, the player must lure Agent X to the lair by any means. Upon his arrival, Agent X will come with his team and the player must defeat him. After wards the genius claims they are still willing to recruit them, however, Agent X claims that he will never join them as they are an enemy of freedom.
In Manifest Entropy, Agent X claims that the reason that P.A.T.R.I.O.T is the best, is due to their unity and pride. The genius then states that this will make living their great once they take over. Agent X then states that the genius is only in it for themselves, and that because of this, it is going to bite them. The player must frustrate Agent X 3 times on the world stage in order to progress. At the same time however, Agent X will begin to cause schemes to pop up on the world stage that will cause the genius to either loose money, or gain max heat in a P.A.T.R.I.O.T region. Upon completing the objective, Agent X will send several investigators to inspect the lair, the player must then kill them all. Agent X must then be confronted on the world stage in order to lure him to the lair. Upon defeating him in the lair, the genius will gloat over them. Agent X will claim that he is aware that he is a fool and he did not choose this fight, but he, Sam Hill, will finish it.
In X Agent, Agent X asks how the genius could live in a world without truth and quote Mark Twain. The genius quotes Mark Twain as well saying that truth should only by heard by those willing to hear it. The player must investigate Agent X to learn his weakness. Upon doing so, the player learns he has a hobby of dancing. The player must research, and construct the laser disco trap. After wards the player must fire their doomsday device at Mount Rushmore in the eastern P.A.T.R.I.O.T states to lure Agent X out. Agent X will come to the lair with a pack of hard boiled investigators in order to try and stop the genius. The player must capture him and have his entourage dealt with. Upon capturing him, the player must have in interrogated on a laser disco trap. Afterwards Agent X will be defeated. The genius will mock Agent X saying that truth is what they say it is, that is the world they are building, and Agent X will not have to live in that world. Agent X will then die and the player can now cause trouble for P.A.T.R.I.O.T without Agent X trying to dig up their secrets. (To top it off, killing Agent X unlocks the "Roswell that ends well" quest.)
As of v.1.12, if the player wishes to choose to recruit agent X then One of Us will show up (a short one) some rumors you heard of is that agent X is alive so send some your muscle minions to "help him change his mind" then the mission is over- reward the greatest investigator joins your cause.
