Your Character
You meet him for the first time in Chapter 1. June says that he knows of your reputation for being late, and this is why he asked you to come earlier to the office. When you finally meet him, he says that he's read a lot about you, and compliments your outfit and offers his condolences regarding Rowan. He then explains the mission, and says that the reason he made you come to the office is because you usually bend the rules as you see fit. Despite your protests about not wanting a partner, he assigns you to Agent Gray. If you and Agent Gray are arrested by Japanese Intelligence in Chapter 12, he arranges for your release and for your return back to the HQ. Once you arrive, he is very angry at you for failing the mission and for letting Rowan get away, and even questions your loyalty. Marvin then takes you off the mission, and says that you will be held in custody until The Architect is taken down.

Agent Gray
In Chapter 6, you find a letter by Marvin to Agent Gray. He thanks him/her for his/her hard work, and says that it's important that you and Agent Gray work together and that he/she keeps you in line because Marvin considers you reckless. He also mentions that it must be hard to see someone other than his/her father lead GAIA, and promises to do his best to fill his shoes. Agent Gray says that he/she has known Marvin for years through his/her father. In Chapter 12, despite his/her protests and trying to back you up, Marvin takes you off the case.
