Field agents[edit]
COPRA's team in the field is a loosely affiliated group of freelance mercenaries with histories of violence who are driven by vengeance and haunted by both tragedy and bad life choices. Many serve to avoid prison time. A few are simply working for a paycheck. Still others fall into the ranks as a means to an end. What they have in common is that they all work for Sonia Stone. And each and every one of them owes her something.
Note: To be included in the list of field agents, the character must be included in the COPRA floating-heads roll call.
