Known Mysteron Agents
Scarlet whilst under the control of the Mysterons

Captain Scarlet

Mission reference: Instrument of Destruction part 1

Status: Former Mysteron agent

Task: Destruction of Skybase

Additional notes: Captain Scarlet was present on the mission to Mars, and was the surviving member of the two-man team. It is uncertain how he became a victim of the Mysterons, as he does not appear to have been reconstructed in the conventional manner. It is possible that he was reconstructed whilst still on Mars, and that he remained unaware of the fact until the Mysterons required him to act. Scarlet was freed from the Mysterons' control by unknown means. He fell several stories, passing through a plasma current in Skybase's engineering section.

Captain Black

Captain Black

Mission references: Instrument of Destruction, Mercury Falling, Circles of Doom, Rain of Terror, Skin Deep, Heist, The Achilles Messenger, Enigma, Best of Enemies, Syrtis Major, Duel & Dominion.

Status: Primary Mysteron agent

Task: Destruction of life on Earth

Additional notes: Captain Black was killed by the Mysterons on Mars and reconstructed only when Scarlet failed in his mission to destroy Skybase. He acts as a human vessel for their powers, and acts as their spokesperson on Earth.

McGill

Hank McGill

Mission reference: Instrument of Destruction part 2

Status: unknown

Task: commandeering of nuclear fuel

Additional notes: McGill was killed by Captain Black in Instrument of Destruction part 1 and used his haulage business to collect thousands of nuclear fuel rods. It is unknown what has become of McGill.

General Zamatev

General Zamatev

Mission reference: Instrument of Destruction part 2

Status: presumed deceased

Task: destruction of Earth

Additional notes: General Zamatev was brought under Mysteron control during the UN briefing regarding the Mysterons. He assisted Captain Black in stockpiling nuclear material and provided a getaway tank for the primary agent. It is presumed that he died in the Dreznik tank when it sank.

The Swarm

The Swarm

Mission reference: Swarm

Status: deactivated

Task: destruction of Skybase

Additional notes: The Swarm comprised of many small robots that act together. One single bug infiltrated Skybase and replicated itself into a swarm. The Swarm have the ability to tap into a person's cerebral pathways to gain knowledge. The Swarm had a design flaw that left them susceptible to water, and they were destroyed when Captain Scarlet activated the fire suppression systems on Skybase.

The RAT

The RATs

Mission reference: Rat Trap

Status: destroyed

Task: death of Captain Scarlet

Additional notes: The RATs were originally Spectrum research machines, used to collect rock samples from the Martian terrain. They were commandeered by the Mysterons, and attacked the scientists at Base Elysium in order to lure Captain Scarlet to Mars and destroy him once and for all. The RATs were both destroyed.

Commander Lewis

Commander Lewis

Mission reference: The Homecoming

Status: deceased

Task: detonation of antimatter reactor

Additional notes: The original Commander Lewis was lost in space on 12th August 2049. He was taken into Spectrum custody after the replicant returned to Earth, and was reunited with his daughter, Lieutenant Green. He was able to make use of the Mysteron power of hypnosis to fool Dr. Gold into performing DNA analysis on his own blood and escape from Skybase before anyone realised the mistake. He almost succeeded in detonating a prototype antimatter reactor at the Space Agency's base in New Mexico before he was killed by Lieutenant Green.

Dr. Kopalski

Dr. Celine Kopalski

Mission reference: Mercury Falling

Status: deceased

Task: destruction of Washington DC

Additional notes: Kopalski was still human when she took control of the Mercury shuttle. When the Mysterons took her uder their control, they used her knowledge to their advantage. Captain Scarlet killed Kopalski by throwing her into a canyon from a moving Rhino.

Gina Martinelli

Mission reference: Skin Deep

Status: deceased

Task: ensuring the destruction of Skybase

Additional notes: Gina was paid as a lookalike thief and committed a robbery using the face of Destiny Angel before she

was Mysteronised. After her Mysteronisation, she was the eyes and ears of the Mysterons, ensuring that Captain Scarlet fulfilled his task to destroy Skybase.

Storey

Mission reference: Chiller

Status: in custody

Task: destruction of Skybase

Additional notes: Storey was a human paid to plant a bomb on Skybase. The Mysterons who recruited him promised to end the war once Spectrum were out of the way.

The MIB (Mysterons in Black)

Mission reference: Chiller

Status: Active

Task: Recruitment of human agents

Additional notes: These Mysteron agents were only ever seen recruiting Storey in Chiller, but the impression is given that they are senior agents, perhaps like Captain Black himself.

Driver

Mission reference: Chiller

Status: presumed deceased

Task: death of Captain Scarlet

Additional notes: Hypnotised by one of the "Mysterons in Black" into driving his fuel tanker into the diner where Captain Scarlet was being held prisoner. The ensuing inferno should have destroyed Scarlet for good, and presumably did kill the driver.

Mrs. MacKenzie

Mission reference: Trap for a Rhino

Status: deceased

Task: capture of a Spectrum Rhino & destruction of Grampian Power Station

Additional notes: Mrs. MacKenzie was allowed to see the Mysterons and contact the police before she was killed. Considering that she's a little old lady, she's pretty strong - able to throw Harmony across a room and pin Scarlet to the ground. She fell to her death once Johnson had stolen the Rhino.

Cadet Johnson

Mission reference: Trap for a Rhino

Status: presumed deceased

Task: capture of a Spectrum Rhino & destruction of Grampian Power Station

Additional notes: Johnson was a Spectrum cadet training with Harmony Angel when he was Mysteronised. He stole a Rhino from Captain Scarlet and almost succeeded in destorying the Grampian Power Station. He was (probably) killed when Scarlet crashed a Hummingbird into the Rhino, although his death is not confirmed on-screen.

Dobermann

Mission reference: Heist

Status: unknown

Task: killing a Vampire pilot

Additional notes: Probably chosen because it could infiltrate a top-security base without suspicion. Could have been a guard dog, but this is not confirmed on-screen. This is the first of two Mysteronised animals seen, the second being the condor in Contact.

Pilot

Mission reference: Heist

Status: deceased

Task: distracting Spectrum long enough that the Heavies can kidnap Victoria Gray.

Additional notes: He's obviously enough of a throw-away character that no-one thought we would notice that he appears to be Scarlet's identical twin brother! Mysteronised by the Dobermann and dies in a blaze of glory when he is shot down by four Spectrum Angels.

Heavy One

Mission reference: Heist

Status: in custody

Task: Kidnapping Victoria Gray & keeping tabs on Colonel White.

Additional notes: Appears to be human, and unaware of Black's true nature and/or motives. Is run off the road by Scarlet and Blue.

Heavy Two

Mission reference: Heist

Status: deceased

Task: Kidnapping Victoria Gray & ensuring Spectrum's implication in the Great Train Robbery.

Additional notes: Starts off as human, but when he gets cold feet he is Mysteronised by Black. Colonel White traps him in a Rhino and drives it from a railway bridge.

Astrid Winters

Mission reference: The Achilles Messenger

Status: deceased

Task: passing information to Spectrum

Additional notes: Astrid Winters was reconstructed by a Mysteron who did not agree with the war, and pledged her support to Spectrum. She was killed by Captain Black before she could tell anyone what the Achilles heel of the Mysterons is.

Michael King

Michael King

Mission reference: Touch of the Reaper

Status: unknown, presumed deceased

Task: distraction of Spectrum

Additional notes: King's sole task was to distract Spectrum long enough to allow Dana Parish time to recruit Dan Lloyd, the Mysteron's chosen assassin. He was last seen on Skybase, disappearing in a flash of green light.

Dana Parish

Dana Parish

Mission reference: Touch of the Reaper

Status: unknown, assumed deceased

Task: recruitment of Dan Lloyd

Additional notes: Dana was used purely to transfer a deadly virus from the lab in which she worked to her journalist boyfriend, Dan Lloyd.

Dan Lloyd

Dan Lloyd

Mission reference: Touch of the Reaper

Status: deceased

Task: assassination of the US President

Additional notes: Dan was Mysteronised following infection with the Razza virus. He was killed by Captain Scarlet on Airforce One.

Condor

Condor

Mission reference: Contact

Status: unknown

Task: killing Phil Bogart

Additional notes: The condor was the second animal seen to be doing the Mysterons' bidding, and again, sadly underused. It is unclear as to whether the condor is a reconstruction or a victim of hypnosis.

Phil Bogart

Mission reference: Contact

Status: unknown, presumed deceased

Task: destruction of Washington DC

Additional notes: Phil was foiled by his twin brother, Frank, with whom he shared a psychic bond. Phil dissolved into a green light when his mission failed and has not been seen since.

Frank Bogart

Mission reference: Contact

Status: unknown, presumed alive and well

Task: murder of Colonel White

Additional notes: Frank was temporarily taken over by his Mysteronised twin brother Phil, and it is questionable as to whether he should be considered as a Mysteron Agent or not. He escaped from the Mysterons' control and was last seen by Captains Blue and Scarlet at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC. It is unknown as to whether he is still at large, or whether he has been re-captured by local authorities.

Captain Halser

Mission reference: Proteus

Status: unknown

Task: assassination of the Chinese President & implication of the US Navy

Additional notes: Halser was the captain of the prototype warship Proteus, which was largely controlled by its computer, Mab. When the Mysterons took control of the ship, they killed and reconstructed Halser primarily to provide a reassuring, human face for Spectrum. Halser was last seen dissolving into green light, just after he tells Scarlet their plan.

Eden

Mission reference: Proteus

Status: deceased

Task: assassination of the Chinese President & implication of the US Navy

Additional notes: Eden was the computer specialist on the Proteus, and was the first person killed in the Mysteron attack. He was killed whilst attempting to stop Captain Scarlet from destroying the ship.

Mab

Mission reference: Proteus

Status: destroyed

Task: assassination of the Chinese President & implication of the US Navy

Additional notes: Mab was the artifical intelligence in control of the Proteus. Her small crew made her an easy target for the Mysterons.

Vampire pilots

Mission reference: Fallen Angels

Status: deceased

Task: killing Spectrum envoy to World Summit

Additional notes: The Vampire pilots were tasked with destroying the Spectrum envoys to the World Summit, and one assumes Colonel White specifically, but were shot down by the Angels before they even got close.

Vana

Mission reference: Fallen Angels

Status: deceased

Task: extracting information from the 'fallen' Angels

Additional notes: Vana was the pirate leader, a partially bio-mechanical woman who ruled with an iron fist. She also has the power to read minds, although whether this is a natural ability, or one given to her by the Mysterons is not made clear. Like her crew, Vana was bumped off by Destiny Angel.

O'Brien

Mission reference: Fallen Angels

Status: presumed deceased

Task: extracting information from the 'fallen' Angels

Additional notes: O'Brien was the safecracker, and clearly the brains of the pirate operation; however this is not saying much as he fell foul of Destiny's trap quite quickly. If he wasn't killed by the fall into the man-trap, he was presumably killed in the volcanic eruption that followed soon afterwards.

Kruger

Mission reference: Fallen Angels

Status: deceased

Task: extracting information from the 'fallen' Angels

Additional notes: Kruger gathered intel on potential targets for the pirating operation before being taken by the Mysterons. He was also clearly the muscle of the team. Kruger was thrown over a cliff by Destiny Angel.

Chan

Mission reference: Fallen Angels

Status: presumed deceased

Task: extracting information from the 'fallen' Angels

Additional notes: Chan was the helmsman of the pirate ship. He was knocked from a tree by Destiny Angel. If he wasn't killed by the fall, he was presumably killed in the volcanic eruption that followed soon afterwards.

Druzynik crew

Mission reference: Storm at the End of the World

Status: deceased

Task: murdering the population of Ragnarok, AK

Additional notes: The Druzynik crew was successful in their task. The Druzynik itself was found abandoned by Captains Scarlet and Blue the next morning, leading them to Ragnarok, where the crew were acting as guards for the Mysteronised populace. The crew were killed by Scarlet and Blue.

The population of Ragnarok, AK

Mission reference: Storm at the End of the World

Status: deceased

Task: extermination of the human race

Additional notes: The townspeople were recruited in order to unearth a meteor containing lethal spores. They succeeded, and were infected with the spores in an attempt to spread the disease to the entire population of Earth. All fifty-two residents of Ragnarok were killed when Scarlet shot their plane down.

Katie

Mission reference: Storm at the End of the World

Status: deceased

Task: Taking Scarlet and Blue prisoner

Additional notes: In the words of Captain Blue, Katie was "the most hospitable replicant I ever met". Katie's main role was to recruit Captains Scarlet and Blue to the mining operation, and, in her role to take them unawares, was unusually chatty for a Mysteron. Katie was killed along with the rest of the population of Ragnarok.

Doc

Mission reference: Storm at the End of the World

Status: deceased

Task: leader of the Ragnarok Mysteron colony

Additional notes: Doc, the former doctor of Ragnarok, was the leader of the Mysteron cell there and directed the mining operation. He was also responsible for ensuring that all the replicants were infected with the alien spores. Doc was killed along with the rest of the population of Ragnarok.

Zuca

Mission reference: Duel

Status: unknown, presumed still active

Task: feeding information to Spectrum

Additional notes: Zuca was an informant even before the Mysterons took him; he had fingers in many pies and sold information to whoever paid him well. Scarlet regularly used Zuca's information as, whilst he didn't trust Zuca as man, he trusted what he traded. Whether Zuca was a Mysteron agent when he told Scarlet about the initial exchange of the nerve agent is not made clear, but he is certainly a replicant when he tells Scarlet about the real target. Zuca was last seen disappearing in a flash of green light after being abandoned in the desert by Scarlet.

Mysteron intruders

Mission reference: Shape Shifter

Status: both deceased

Task: unknown

Additional notes: The actual target of the two Mysteron intruders is unknown; the threat is made before the start of the episode. Scarlet implies that their intention was to blow up the particle collider at Laroux Research Facility. They were both stopped, but it is possible that they were there to lure Scarlet and set off the chain of events that followed.

The Shape Shifter

Mission reference: Shape Shifter

Status: converted

Task: destruction of Skybase, defamation of Captain Scarlet

Additional notes: It isn't known whether the shape shifter was planned, or whether the Mysterons saw an opportunity at Laroux and took it. Either way, the actions of the shape shifter very nearly got Captain Scarlet killed for good thrice over! It had the ability to take the shape of anyone or anything it touched, making it extremely hard to identify and catch. It was eventually thrown into a particle stream by Captain Scarlet and converted into energy to keep Skybase running.

Rimmer

Mission reference: Grey Skulls

Status: unknown

Task: planting a biological bomb

Additional notes: Rimmer was a policeman from Phoenix, Arizona, who the Mysterons chose to plant a Doomsday bomb. When Spectrum got too close, Rimmer found the nearest person, Brock, to hand the weapon to, in order to keep it out of Spectrum's hands. He was last seen disappearing in a flash of green light.

Brock

Mission reference: Grey Skulls

Status: deceased

Task: planting a biological bomb

Additional notes: It is unknown whether Brock was a planned Mysteronisation, or simply opportunism on their part. Either way, he nearly foiled Spectrum and was only thwarted due to the help of a rival gang member, Colt.
