VALORANT’s 25th Agent’s Name is Clove
In the practice range, there is an Email from Deadlock. In the Email, Deadlock mentions Agent 25 as their “new friend.” In the same Email, Deadlock addresses the new character as “they.” However, players whose game language is in German can find the same Email that mentions the person as “Clove” instead of they. So, regardless of whether it was intentional or a mistake, we now know that Agent 25’s name is Clove.
Clove Might be Neon’s Age or Younger!
In the current PBE 8.04 game files, there is evidence that suggests Clove is really young. The two voice lines from Cypher and Phoenix, which mention Clove as “our little troublemaker” and “the new kid,” prove that Clove might be the same age as Neon, or possibly, younger.
Cypher: “I keep picturing our newest little troublemaker giving Hourglass the slip, leaving behind an empty bodybag.*laughs* Ah… Priceless.”
Phoenix: “Hey fam, imagine when me and the new kid go on the same mission. Other team is gonna be stressing with both of us coming back to life.”
Clove is a Controller Agent
Well, it is not a surprise that Agent 25 is a Controller Agent. All of us have known this for a while now. However, in the recent “State of the Agents” article, John Goscicki, the Agent lead of VALORANT, confirmed that Clove will be a Controller Agent.
