The Agents

The Agents were a highly influential clan advocating peace in the old LBP Union, and was one of the Union's most influential clans at the time. However, the Agents were also involved in various domestic Union disputes involving the H4H Bounty Hunters.

History

The Agents were founded by M88youngling in mid to late 2008 shortly prior to the foundation of the Union. The clan first dedicated itself to finding a peaceful solution to the ongoing H4H conflict, viewing it as a rather pointless and silly debate.

The Agents, simply functioning as M88youngling himself, stepped into a rather primitive debate between the Anti-H4Her Scorpitom335 and the H4Her Vastet who were of course arguing over each other's methods. M88youngling's involvement led to Scorpitom335 to become highly interested in the future of the Agents and he followed their development.

It introduced itself into foreign affairs by attacking the H4H Bounty Hunters with a sticker raid to try and convince them to cease hostilities towards practitioners of H4H. Godman2k7 and the Bounty Hunter leader Leejk30 stepped in to respond, convincing M88youngling that their Anti-H4H methods weren't as bad as people some made it out to be. The newfound partnership between the two groups led to the establishment of the LBP Union.

The Agents soon became larger and drew in more members, becoming a core and active part of the Union. Often creating short "Agents Missions" levels where the player would take part in current events and conflicts in the Union, the Agents were part of a cultural core to the Union as well. Their headquarters often hosted many jokes and fads, spreading them throughout the rest of the Union. One of these fads was the "Danke" soda developed by TragicTakedown, otherwise known as Agent Zira. The drink and its vending machine became incredibly popular in the Union and its popularity continues today in the refounded Union.

The Agents however, maintained a tense relationship with the H4H Bounty Hunters, with the leaders often getting into various spats. Some of these spats were considered to be civil wars. Many of the details of these spats has been long forgotten, but the two most prominent arguments were the First Union Civil War and the schism, however the Agents were far less involved in the schism due to M88youngling's change of interests.

Espionage in RSR

Due to reports that the Red Skull Republic was bullying and harassing others, the Agents decided to investigate, sending a covert operative into the RSR to attempt to learn more about the situation. This agent was none other than M88youngling himself, who faked the disbandment of the Agents in order to sneak into RSR without a side account. The operation was horrendously executed, the RSR administration being aware almost all along, especially after a message back to the Union was sent to the leader of the RSR instead, essentially crippling the entire mission. However, information was discovered that pointed to the RSR as attacking the Elite Force, a small group of people who allegedly had done nothing wrong. This information, which was actually false, led directly to the RSR/Union War. A member of the Elite Force, Castleraider5, had drawn them into the conflict, claiming to be the leader. RSR might have been quite hasty to retaliate, but they were not the first to start the tensions.

M88youngling attempted to revive the Agents after the schism after its members were mostly lost or moved to CRO, but efforts were futile, and the attempted secrecy of the organization was bad for recruiting. All efforts were abandoned after 2011.

Operation

The Agents grouped members into partnerships. Each Agent would have a partner assigned to them, and each Agent would also have a codename to refer to them by. Agents were also assigned a keycard, which could be used to access the headquarters in its entirety.

Agents were tasked with researching specific topics, and rarely were Agents sent out to partake in espionage, however information was quite valuable.

The Blood Promise Brotherhood

One of the largest projects conducted by the Agents as a whole was an investigation into the mysterious Blood Promise Brotherhood. Information on the clan had been leaked in a Red Skull Republic base that had accidentally been made copyable. Now having access to the new headquarters, the Agents in their investigation found a news board which painted the possibility that a covert group operating from the shadows known as the Blood Promise Brotherhood sought to destroy all clans via covert sabotage with spies. Though most would have simply dismissed this as a simple conspiracy theory, M88youngling became obsessed for months with finding the organization, its members and putting an end to them. With months of no results, finally after an interview with Waterbuffalo7, (check user) it was finally discovered that the Blood Promise Brotherhood had fallen some time ago, and was of no threat.
