Editing Second String:Agent Augur (section)

==Background==
"John Smith" had his old identity officially erased when he volunteered for the enhancement program that made him into Agent Augur, and there's little room in his new life for anything but his work now. That work was meant to be as an intelligence agent, a super-spy who could use his induced telepathy to ferret out secrets and detect hostile schemes before they could come to fruition. That plan went by the wayside. He was still finishing his training when several new international agreements were signed and his kind of "work" was officially banned and disavowed.

Making the best of a bad deal, the shadowy agency that had recruited him gave a new task - acting as government liaison and coordinator for the hero team he now works with. This put him in the awkward position of needing to fight alongside (and against) supers who could bench press a car, breathe fire and bounce bullets off their chests, something all the mind-reading in the world wouldn't help much against. Still, he keeps his head down and does his best, usually dealing with henchmen or squishier villains while his allies deal with the bigger threats. He's also a good "face" for the team, dealing with local law enforcement, politicians and new media with some aplomb thanks to subconscious cues from his telepathy.
