Agent

Agent is a title often given to officials working within an agency.

Many agencies within the United States federal government use this title, including the FBI (TXF: "Pilot"), the US Customs agency (TXF: "Badlaa"), the ATF (TXF: "The Field Where I Died"), and the CIA (TXF: "Colony").

Agencies within the private sector also use this title, such as Chase Real Estate in Worcester, Massachusetts. (TXF: "Surekill")

Within the FBI, agents are often assigned to carry out the duties given to them by an Assistant Director, the Deputy Director or even the Director (TXF: "Tooms"; "Within"; "Travelers"). FBI Agents are usually responsible for investigating cases, such as those catalogued in the X-Files (TXF: "Pilot"). The title of FBI Agent is divided into three ranks: the General Assignment Agent, Special Agent, and Special Agent in Charge.
