Where Miks sits in the roster

Miks was added after launch. Only 5 of the current roster shipped with the game, and the agents added since tend to carry more conditional or setup-heavy abilities than the originals.

During development Miks went by the internal codename Iris, which is the name that still appears in the game files.

There are 29 playable agents in total, 7 of them in the Controller role.
