Operatives are elite combatants trained for special operations, excelling in stealth, precision strikes, and high-tech tactics. They thrive in unpredictable situations, using a mix of combat skills and advanced technology to outmaneuver their foes.
Operatives are often seen as highly skilled, reliable professionals. Allies appreciate their versatility and discipline, while enemies often find themselves outmaneuvered and overwhelmed by their precision and cunning. However, some see them as dangerously independent, their loyalty tested by the nature of their work.
