Agent 13

"Who cares if that... that thing is quarantined! It still is somewhere affecting someone! It' not fair to have to sit here and experiment with other things while an unknown virus is spreading to unknown sources at an unknown rate!" - Agent 13 to leading O.V.A.L commanders.

Agent Carson Maliard, or Agent 13 as his codename goes, is a leading scientist for the O.V.A.L military branch and the teacher of Apprentice Benny and the part time teacher of Apprentice Lenny. He is very intelligent when it comes to atom research and neurosurgery. He is an expert in combat as well, making him a multi-combat and scientific master. Him and his good friend Dennis Wilson began working together, both decaling that the other is more important, but only 13 brings that up nowadays.

Appearance
Throughout the course of the events, 13's face is kept rather secret due to his identity being a very important thing to him. He usually wears a large and clunky hazard suit with grey and yellow (or sometimes green). He is covered head to toe with it and has an input radio system to contact any O.V.AL or S.M.O.K.E agents. He is one of the tallest characters in the entire series, being 172.2 cm tall. Mainly due to the hazard suit.

Personality
Agent 13 is quite calm and usually sensible during tense situations, but when he gets arrogant or stressed out, his comrades know that the situation is bad. He talks rather slowly compared to his other agents like Mal Malson or Agent 18. He always acts for others more than himself, and that sometimes proves a problem because of his lack of knowing how important his life is for the military.

Training Arc
At the very beginning of the series, 13 introduces himself as one of the teachers assigned to watch over them, not being their actual teacher, but someone that helps assist their own teachers. Like a class warden. He begins their schooling by allowing them to choose one of their personal military teachers such as Mal Malson, Dennis and Andrew Clifford.

During their first mission, locating a crate in the forest, 13 splits from Malson after Dennis makes his move. 13 analyses the scene and tracks their footprints and marks left by them. He follows it to a car compacter unit and spots Benny running to cover. He leaps from the bushes, attacking by chance, but misreads Benny's pure strength, getting seriously blowed to the face. 13 calls defeat and sits in the losing booth. Annoyed because he underestimated Benny's punches.

Military Arc
After Dennis recommends Lenny to join S.M.O.K.E with Jenny and the others, 13 manages to convince some of the other recruits to join team O.V.A.L. He begins to experiment with non-human powers such as Dennis' extreme sprinting speed and his resistance to certain bullets. He proves that he can have huge IQ when solving problems related to the human anatomy and the human body reflexes.

After all his tests are complete, he sends the scanning and results to his higher up commander Doctor Yam who informs him of his correct calculations. 13 then takes a group of his new O.V.AL section group out on a tour in Apollo city. They spend 8 days laying low and recording the civilian activities and send them to the correction labs. 13 is suddenly informed of a new virus that has been spotted in a very nearby town.

The Blue Virus Arc
Agent 13 commands a quick evacuation on the citizens and agents alike. They all head to a safe island off the west coast of Apollo. He is informed of Dennis arriving soon and his plan of helping more people. 13 and his agents contact other Section Commander Conor Grads and order packages for the people on the island. Worried that this sudden evacuation might scare people into starting a civil war, 13 demands all his agents to lie and say it is a drill.

13 orders his agents to pass around some fresh bottled water to the people and try calm them while he makes some arrangements. One of his agents by the name of Harris Croft requests that they plan on how to tackle the virus and keep the people away from it. But without enough info on it, they will just have to wait for the time being.
