Duelist

Astra

Ghanaian agent Efia Danso, codename: Astra, is one of the many Radiants in Valorant, individuals that possess hypernatural abilities after exposure to the First Light. As such, Astra can enter an Astral Form where she can control the stars and use them to reshape the terrain.

Before joining the Valorant Protocol, the organization whose mission is to stop any further catastrophic events involving Radianite, Astra served as an astral guardian, which she still does to this day, tasked with maintaining the balance of the universe. The true extent of her powers is astronomical, which is why she wears a special gauntlet to contain them.

Breach

Erik Torsten, codename: Breach, comes from a family of thieves in Sweden, set to be convicted for all of their crimes. However, as he was born without arms, the judge pitied him and gave him a lighter sentence.

With his newfound freedom, he built himself bionic arms and returned to his old criminal ways, which soon led to him needing to go into hiding andultimately meeting Raze, who was able to enhance his arms. Not long after, he was recruited by the Valorant Protocol, where all his records were sealed in exchange for serving in the organization.

Brimstone

Hailing from the USA, Liam Byrne, codename: Brimstone, is the leader and one of the founders of the Valorant Protocol, as well as a father figure to some of the younger agents. He served as a former firefighter and soldier before retiring following the death of his close friend, and joining the Kingdom Corporation, an organization that seeks to harness the power of Radianite for technological advancement.

After the First Light, he left Kingdom and founded the Valorant Protocol along with his co-employees, Viper, Killjoy, and Omen. There, he sought to recruit more agents to join their cause and prevent more Radianite-related disasters from taking place.

Chamber

French agent Vincent Fabron, codename: Chamber, is a man of immense wealth and style. Prior to joining the Valorant Protocol, he was well-versed in the art of weaponry, having served in the French military before becoming a private military company marksman and, later, a weapons dealer for Kingdom.

Driven by an intense desire to achieve his goals, he was able to meet his Omega counterpart, which led to them destroying a research facility nowknown as the map Fracture. He was recruited into the Valorant Protocol by Brimstone and Viper shortly after, where he was able to provide blueprints that led to the construction of an Alpha-Omega teleporter.

Clove

As Valorant’s first immortal character, Clove was a complete mystery to veteran agents like Cypher and Brimstone. When Omen was on a mission in Edinburgh, he contacted Cypher saying he had found someone they’d like to meet. Sure enough, when the team visited the city, they brought Clove into the fold.

From the voice lines, it seems Clove has met their Omega counterpart, and either proposed or was proposed to join forces. However, one declined the offer, though it’s unclear which party was hesitant. Regardless, they’re now a dedicated member of the Protocol,constantly using their abundant Life Energy to aid allies.

Cypher

The Moroccan information broker Amir El Amari, codename: Cypher, grew up in a poor city due to Kingdom Corporation stealing their resources. He then went on to become a one-man surveillance network, constantly gathering intel and recording his enemies' every move.

Having kept so many secrets, he set up multiple safe houses to store his work and stay hidden, never going out without his mask. Even after being recruited by the Valorant Protocol, he still refuses to reveal his identity, along with all of his secrets.

Deadlock

Known only by the mononym “Iselin,” Deadlock worked as an elite hunter from the security force Ståljeger, who have been tasked to assist in the transport of a Radiant bear-like creature. A series of events led to the bear escaping and killing most of the people involved, including Deadlock’s comrades.

After successfully subduing the bear and losing an arm in the process, she was rescued by Sova, who brought her back to the Valorant Protocol for treatment. Now, with a new bionic arm,she joined the organizationwith a newfound hate towards Radiant creatures, including Gekko’s pets.

Fade

Hazal Eyletmez, codename: Fade, is a Radiant from Turkey and a bounty hunter who can manipulate the power of nightmares. Little is known about her other than the fact that her abilities allow her to creep into the minds of her enemies and unleash their darkest fears.

A misunderstanding between her and the Valorant Protocol led to them tracking her down after receiving a series of threats. Initially thinking that the organization was involved in the disappearance of someone important to her, Fade decided to work with the Protocol if it meant being closer to uncovering the truth.

Gekko

From the city of Los Angeles,Mateo Armendáriz De la Fuente, codename: Gekko,is the closest thing to being a Pokemon trainer in Valorant. He owns a cute little band of Radiant creatures, Dizzy, Mosh, Thrash, and Wingman, who were once previously owned by the Kingdom and who aid him in battle.

Gekko also has a Hispanic background, which allowed him to form a bond with the usually cold-hearted Reyna. He’s a supportive and chill dude who encourages his teammates and lightens up the mood no matter the situation.
