Another field agent from the Undisclosed Government Agency, Agent #18 first appears as during the build-up to the Battle of Manhattan in Surreptitious Machinations. He is a gruff, no-nonsense, by-the-book agent who always wears dark sunglasses, never cracks a smile, and whose sense of humor is primarily limited to sarcasm and an incredibly dry wit. Despite his abrasive personality, he is one of the U.G.A.'s most decorated and valuable agents, as his low agent number seems to attest. His true name is currently unknown, as is virtually everything about his past.
Agent #18 led the charge to drive C.R.U.D.E. from the Statue of Liberty during the Battle of Manhattan (see Surreptitious Machinations, Chapter 8: Wars and Confrontations). In its aftermath, while Fooker and Agent #12 were tracking down Doctor Nefarious and Doctor Not it was #18 who was in charge of apprehending Trudy, chasing her as she tried to make new alliances, tracking her interactions with certain impressionable hackers, and eventually facing her one on one. Trudy ultimately was the victor in that fight, and it is apparent during their later meetings that he definitely holds a grudge.
During To Thine Own Self..., #18 joined other U.G.A. agents in accompanying Fooker and his friends to the alternate universe of Emperor Nicholas the Puissant to rescue Nick from his alter ego's clutches. #18 joined the team in infiltrating the Emperor's palace and was instrumental in defending the group as they made their escape home. We may have briefly come in contact with his alternate counterpart, although it is uncertain whether the two are the "same" person.
Some Faulties repeatedly confuse Fooker's brother Justin for Agent #18 and vice versa. This is probably due to their similar hair styles and the fact that they both tend to wear glasses. To tell them apart, Justin's face is round like Fooker's, as are his glasses. Agent #18's face is more rectangular and his sunglasses are trapezoidal. The easiest distinction is the sunglasses; #18 tends to wear them regardless of the ambient light level.
