Subject: I'm not against it, but I think adding categories might be more interesting.

Just to quickly respond to Linstar's comment, most of the details in the infobox are also covered in the article; the point is that the most basic facts are collected in a simple format one can take in at a glance, so it's redundant by nature.

My only slight qualm is the headache of backfilling the new row in all existing infoboxes, but that can at least be visually solved by making the row only appear if it has data in it.

New categories would definitely be a headache, but plenty of wikis categorize characters by gender, and I think it would be neat. Categories would have the advantage of capturing characters who only exist as redirects to the Glossary, and then we'd have a way to see at a glance about how many of each have existed. I'd propose three, for "Male Agents," "Female Agents," and "Non-binary Agents."

~Neshomeh actually enjoys grindy projects like this, anyway.
