Cypher
Amir El Amari (a.k.a. Gumshoe)
Cypher is constantly gathering secrets, information, and intel, to the point of managing to retrieve the passwords of everyone in the Valorant Protocol. He keeps most of this information to himself, making sure that no one ever discovers them and only revealing anything he knows for a price. While Cypher has a history of being a killer, he has shown to have warmer ties with some of the agents in the Protocol, to the point of referring to them by nicknames. He is also known to be rather cheeky, and tends to take parts or tools from his fellow agents whenever he needs them, often informing them later on that he has done so rather than asking them if he can use them beforehand.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Cypher's real name is 'Aamir', an Arabic name which means "Prince" in English. Cypher is from Rabat, Morocco, where Bind is also located. His Thrifty quotes imply that he may be poor, or was at one point. Cypher intentionally keeps his face and true identity hidden.
Social
Contacts & Relations
Cypher knew someone called Nora, who was likely a family relation to him. Cypher's quotes imply that Nora and other members of his family were killed.
Cypher knows many secrets that he keeps from his fellow agents. Because of this, some of them find it hard to trust him. One such agent is Sova, whose values of honesty and openness conflict with Cypher's secrecy.
In his email sent to Brimstone, Cypher is shown to be untrusting towards Chamber as he validated the French agent's work history. He has raised suspicion over the fact that the latter has no criminal record or incident report of any kind, pointing out to Brimstone that Chamber may be "very good at hiding the truth."
