MASTER OF IMITATION
You may reveal the X Order Marker on this Army Card before rolling initiative. If you do, choose a Human Hero figure that you control for Agent Faux to imitate until the end of the round. While Agent Faux is imitating another figure they will use that figure's class and personality instead of their own. If you would take a turn with the imitated figure you may instead take a turn with Agent Faux.

STARTLING REVEAL
Before taking a turn with Agent Faux you may exchange their place with the figure they are imitating. Figures moved by this power never take leaving engagement attacks.

PHANTOM WALK
Agent Faux can move through all figures and is never attacked when leaving an engagement.

DESIGN NOTES:

Spoiler Alert!

This is based off Mystique from Marvel's X-Men. An Agent that doesn't focus so much on the weapons mastery aspect of things but instead prefers to use mutant abilities to assume the identity of other humans. They can blend in, move as if they were that human, and you may even loose track of them when the startling reveal happens showing that not even you can tell them apart.

The theme here is that Faux will imitate a figure and is treated like them in a few ways to include their class and personality. When the imitated figure takes a turn, Faux can take that turn instead showing that they are "seemlessly integrated." The Startling reveal ability allows you to pull the 'Aha' moment that any master of disguise should have, the figure that you thought was Sir Dendrick was in fact Agent Faux! Or vice versa, allowing you to switch your heroes in and out of dangerous situations and mad-dash through enemies lines to carry out an assassination attempt. The trick here is that Faux can only imitate humans because they would specialize in mimicking them for covert operations.

-Combinations and Synergies-

Synergy Benefits Received

• AGENT SKAHEN: Cover Fire
  Having a Tricky personality, Agent Faux may benefit from Agent Skahen's COVER FIRE.
  

Synergy Benefits Offered

• [b]OTONASHI: Tricky Speed 4
  Since Agent Faux has a Tricky personality, if Otonashi starts her turn adjacent to him, she may add 4 to her move.
  
  COMMAND COURIER : COMMAND DISPATCH
  As a Medium Unique figure who follows Vydar, Agent Faux may take a turn when a Command Courier uses COMMAND DISPATCH.
  

Comments and ideas welcome! Agent Faux is in early design, drafted this up early in November and then ordered the figure in. I think that Agent Carr and Skahen are quite awesome but neither of them leverage the espionage assassin angle, Carr has swords on lock and Skahen has guns down so Faux will be the espionage and martial arts angle. Hope everyone can get some use out of this cool unit that goes deep behind enemy lines and has some unique turn flexing ability.
