“
I don’t hope that, because that’s unrealistic, and I’m nothing but.”
Agon Ortlights is a ranking member of the Company of the Spade. She has chronic fatigue syndrome, and has servicebots to aid her in dealing with her condition.
Appearance[edit | edit source]
Agon is a large woman, sturdily built standing at six foot tall and 280 pounds of muscle and fat. She has greying hair often pulled down into a smart ponytail.[1] She is almost always accompanied by her servicebots, which will bring her things[1] and follow her or ride on her shoulder when she moves.[2] They resemble the small drone Option A from Strider and Marvel vs. Capcom.[1]
Personality[edit | edit source]
Agon is powerful, determined, and intrepid, having worked her way up to be a commander[note 1] of the Company of the Spade. Agon describes herself as very realistic, lacking the revolutionary zeal of many of her counterparts in Millennium Break and instead representing a segment of Millennium Break that is not eager to break all ties to the existing Divine Principality.[3]
Agon practices Asterism, with her and her crews praying before digs and before combat.[4]
History and Involvement[edit | edit source]
Agon is a lieutenant for the Stel Orion based Company of the Spade and maintains a cooperative relationship with fellow mercenary group SBBR. She came up as an asteroid miner, and she, alongside her company, specialize in working and fighting in strange environments.[5] Agon has chronic fatigue which she manages with the assistance of a number of servicebots to help deal with smaller tasks; they also pace her and help her track what muscle groups she might be overworking.
Agon works out of Partizan, and ends up becoming involved with Millennium Break at its inception due to her relationship with SBBR. She, and the Company of the Spade as a whole, represent a milder form of revolutionary thought and frequently butt heads with other more radical members such as Jesset City. Agon specifically objects to the pirate raids being done by Millennium Break on Orion ships, as her crews run some of those ships, but she is talked around after Gur Sevraq points out it will draw scrutiny from the Divine Principality if only Orion ships aren't attacked.[6]
After the initial establishing of Millennium Break, Agon and the Company of the Spade remain involved, working closely with Gucci Garantine.

When Law attacks Oxbridge, Agon and the Company of the Spade work on evacuating people who don't want to board the Reflecting Pool with The Witch in Glass.
Agon, alongside Gucci Garantine and Sloe Uplight, is present for the mission briefing for Operation Lodestone, the attack by Millennium Break on the Chasmata Quarry.[7]
From a ship in orbit above Girandole, Agon commands the operation to descend into the planet and stop Operation Shackled Sun. She later brings a rescue ship for the infiltration team, unfortunately arriving just as Sovereign Immunity collapses.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Agon's surname is taken from the Newport menthol cigarettes brand's "Lights," jokingly scrambled to create the name Newp Ortlights, but she goes by Agon and the name Newp is only mentioned in PARTIZAN character creation.[5]

- ↑ Agon is introduced as a lieutenant, but by the time Millennium Break starts she is called a commander. This could either be an error or simply an off-screen promotion.
