Entry #2: Where is Everyone Hiding?

Have you ever been intrigued by the spy character? Sat in thoughts what is this characters' backstory, how they come to the place where they are now? What is hiding behind all the masks that they are wearing, both physical and mental ones? Today I'm going to add one more mystery to that list, say your greetings to Cypher, agent number five from Protocol Valorant, and the best sentinel in the world.

Totally unexpectedly, Cypher has a secretive personality, but according to the saying says: "There's always a bigger fish", so at least some information about our spy we know. For example, we know that the real Cypher's name is Amir El Amari, and he is a middle-aged man from Morocco. Fueled by hatred of Kingdom Corporation Amir spent a large part of his life as an information broker and killer, trying to get out of poverty caused by the activities of the corporation. Specifics of his work, the man who knows everyone else secrets paranoidly defending his own secrets so hard, that he gets to the point where no one in the protocol still doesn't knows how he looks like under the mask, even if other agents try to find it out.

The interesting moment of Cypher as a person, is that even of all his secretive, he treats other agents super friendly, even if it's not mutual. According to the information that Fade revealed (or just proved) to us while Blackmailer emails, Cypher had a children and wife, but, because of some unknown to us for right now events, players assumed that his wife was dead, and the child was in danger, so probably this is the main reason for Cypher stay with the protocol for now. We also could tell that Cypher is a father based on how warm he treats the some of other young agents from protocol, giving them some silly nicknames like "little star". (ValorantWiki)

But before I start a whole essay about the whole plot of Valorant, I left the free will for every reader to continue research on their own, while I just left a couple of useful links, and took my leave, dotting the "i's" on the point that I spoke only about the most general things, and there are still many curious things that this hatter can show you, and almost nothing new you can tell him about yourself, because he knows exactly where you are.
