Agent Provocateur	comment	In spy lingo, this is a covert operative whose job is to incite rebellion, entice defectors or goad the enemy into a foolish action (sometimes to the point of skirting with the False Flag Operation). Even though it's a sexy French word, the Agent Provocateur got the short end of the sexy spy stick. They are looked down upon by... pretty much everyone else and a prime reason why people think that Spies Are Despicable. It may have something to do with the fact that—as a Treacherous Advisor—they are inherently untrustworthy. One side (the Agent Provocateur's true alignment) believes they are inciting foolish, risky attacks against them, while the other side (the infiltratees) thinks they are inciting foolish, risky behavior in their friends. Confused yet? That's probably why these guys aren't nearly as popular in fiction as they are in Real Life. In Real Life it's good if no one can figure out a covert operative's cover. In fiction, on the other hand... Common conspiracy theory trope. See also Astroturf. Compare with Double Agent. Not necessarily one of Les Collaborateurs, though he or she may double as this. Not to be confused with a Honey Trap. Or the 1984 Foreigner album.

One infamous example of this was #TakeDown4Chan, which went about as well as you would expect. It's been both claimed and suspected that the entire farce was started by 4Chan.

The protagonist can redeem a number of students back to the Light Side and also turn the head of the academy against their student before eliminating them both. This is a good way to weaken the academy significantly if you're a Light Sider. In Star Wars: The Old Republic, the first two acts of the Sith Warrior storyline involve your master sending you on various missions to provoke the Republic into open war. The Imperial Agent storyline in SWTOR takes it a step further and has an Ancient Conspiracy doing this to both sides of the war to get them to destroy each other.

Agent Provocateur / int_9d34190a	comment	In The Elder Scrolls series, this is a favored tactic of the Thalmor-led 4th Era Aldmeri Dominion. Though the nation of a Long-Lived Mage Species, the Altmer (High Elves) suffer from an Immortal Procreation Clause which limits their birthrates (and is further hampered by rumors that they cull children with undesirable traits), leaving them at a disadvantage in drawn-out wars of attrition. As such, they prefer a Divide and Conquer strategy which includes setting their enemies up to fight and weaken one another ahead of Dominion takeover. Through the use of agents, they sow discord in rival nations. Most notably, they used these to goad the Argonians into first seceding from the faltering Empire then invading a Red Year-weakened Morrowind, home of their long time oppressors, the Dunmer (Dark Elves), stripping their Arch-Enemy Empire of two provinces at once.

That way they can ensure the Arbites will shoot at peaceful demonstrators, as well as ensure most demonstrators won't be peaceful to begin with, and violence will escalate. This is also one of the more famous specialties of the Alpha Legion according to the fluff. Famously provoking much of the Imperial Eastern Sector into riots during the Horus Heresy as a means of destabilizing the necessary supply lines for the Siege of Terra. However, in novels it is better shown by both the Night Lords Trilogy and the Blood Gorgons in the novel Flesh and Iron. On the tabletop, this is traditionally shown by a larger than average number of cultists.
