Informant

undefined:

An informant is a programmed headmate that was created as a type of control program.

Informants are specifically programmed to gather information about other group members or group enemies, and provide it to a designated person such as a handler, group leader, or other authority when cued.

Informant programming can present similarly to Chi or Callback programs.

Not all informants may know that they are programmed, and may display different behavior while on-duty versus when their program hasn't been activated.
