Felix is technically a consultant, as only American citizens can be agents. Same with Dr. Calder and Hugo, not currwnt agents, but privvy to the secrets of the Warehouse and allowed a degree of freedom to work for them. Same was true for Leena and Abi. Basically anyone who works WITH the Warehouse, knows about it and the artifacts or provides a service besides collection, containment or maintenance. Felix and Juan are honarary agents, not official government workers but relied on to carry the same duties if needed. HARP is a seperate group functioning within the Warehouse jurisdiction under the Regents, but not the same as Warehouse agents. The Ascendere are another completely seperate group the have no affiliations to the Warehouse, but recognize it's importance and the potential for alliegance. Thus a member is also a Regent to protect both interests.

Did that wall of text clear it up somewhat? Basically and Agent is employed by the Regents, placed on the Government payroll and is required to collect, properly store and maintain the artifacts therein. That is technically their sole job description, though it may include other things.
