![]() ![]() This goes to show the sheer scale and importance of Cypher's network, and the immense value that it brings to the team.Ĭypher's Office, a small room located in the Range, is considered to be our representation of this. It is implied from a voiceline that Cypher is also responsible for detecting "incursions" into their world - likely another description for LEGION teleporting in for an attack. Cypher has an international presence, and clearly is capable of handling surveillance of a lot more than just an in-game map by himself ( Sova once unhesitatingly trusted him to keep track of an entire city ). It is hinted that Cypher's network extends far beyond just the parlor tricks that he brings with him to missions. Cypher heavily emphasizes the need for him to protect his own secrets, and hesitates in revealing any personal information: he refrains even to show his own face to the rest of the PROTOCOL, his colleagues and siblings-in-arms.Īs demonstrated by Fade in her Dossier about him, her 'vision' of him in The Sting (the mission in which she was captured), and during her social media campaign, Cypher's deepest fear is having this veil of anonymity ripped off - being revealed to the world as who he is, and being watched intently by everyone, just as he's watched them for so long. Cypher is, much like Omen, a living enigma to us: only for him, the secrets of his past were hidden on intention, meticulously and painstakingly so. Perhaps the most important aspect of Cypher's personality is his insistence on remaining anonymous. As stated before, Cypher shows pride in his devices, and is always eager to test out new ones on the field. or when he's been paid the right price.Ĭypher's abilities primarily deal with this aspect of his character - being the man behind the monitor, gathering invaluable information through a sprawling self-made network of technology laced across any given map.Īll of Cypher's various bits of gadgetry and tech are hinted to be self-made at his own workshop to aid him in this. He has built up a name for himself as a master in his art, who can dig up even the most well-hidden secrets with ease when he has a mind to. Examples of this include almost 'reveling' in his history as a killer, or threats to go after the enemy's families.Īnother major part of Cypher's character that he lets shine through is his considerable experience in the world of information-gathering, and obvious pride in his prowess. However, while it is often disguised under his usual demeanor, Cypher does let some of the darker aspects of his character show on occasion (this can be heard most frequently in his voicelines addressing the enemy team). This attitude apparently extends to borrowing Radianite from the other Agents as well. This includes him stealing transmitters and condenser cables from Killjoy, and taking servos from Breach's arms, then bugging them with microphones to listen in on his actions. Contrasting to this is an unusually playful and mirthful attitude, frequently cracking jokes, although his sense of humor has a tendency to be rather morbid at times.Īn example of this impish behavior is how Cypher frequently 'borrows' small items from his fellow Agents, and generally tampers with the gadgets and abilities of other tech users on the team. Cypher's surveillance skills and self-made network allow him to control the entire battlefield, always watching the enemy's every move.Ĭypher has a long past as an information broker, dealing in carefully-buried secrets and hidden truths, which gives him a uniquely mysterious and dark theme. He has no ties to anyone and seems to have 'lost' his family. Cypher is a Moroccan information broker with a dark and mysterious past. ![]()
