Alright, I have a question. Agents weren't used until Warehouse 11. Regents were there since Warehouse 2. Per Draco's observations, they probably used private mercenaries and bandits who would be willing to transport unknown objects for a price. I noted that in Warehouse 3, the Warehouse had a few assistants who would help with basics, such as organizing and dealing with basic issues of storage (anything which created large disturbances was left to the Regents or Caretaker).

I do recall noting, or at least thinking if I never mentioned it, that while these assistants would normally be confined exclusively to the Warehouse, they might be sent on missions if they had certain skills that were deemed necessary, or if it was deemed high priority and there were few others available (like how sometimes we have the entire Warehouse 13 gang out in the field in the same area; what would happen if there was a ping somewhere else?) Chances are that Warehouse 2 would work on the same principles (or perhaps did so after realizing that such a situation could happen). So, perhaps he's an assistant? Think of them as "pre-Agents". I'd also note that they might not be bound by the same rules of being from the Host Country as later Warehouses (I'm not sure when that might have come about, or if it was in response to something that happened.)
