Agent

The "Agent" is the optional player co-op partner of Ada Wong in Resident Evil 6, who was released in an update for the game on December 17, 2012. Nothing is known of Agent as a character due to him being only in the game for cooperative purposes.

Agent was originally meant to appear in the retail release of Resident Evil 6, however Capcom wasn't able to finish him in time, despite this he was added as a playable character for use in Ada's campaign and The Mercenaries. Before his official release, Agent was playable by modding the Resident Evil 6 disc. Agent finds his weapons while progressing through the story like any other playable character and will be able to use all of the weapons found on following playthroughs.

Gameplay
Agent will not appear while playing Ada's campaign solo and will appear should a player join the game. As Agent is Ada's co op partner only the joining player can play as Agent, he is not selectable otherwise. During Ada's story cross-play sections with Leon's campaign Agent will appear with the character who is partnerless for the segment. During the beginning of Chapter 5 of Ada's Campaign, Agent sits in the co-pilot seat of the helicopter and can fire his own gatling gun, the missiles are shared by both players, however the main camera is controlled by the leading player so in order to control Agent's aiming one must press the respective aim button to take aim to choose their own main direction.
