Something I just realized is that, all agents of the Warehouse have experienced some kind of loss/tragedy in their life, mostly death, and mostly prior to their recruitment to the Warehouse.

Myka: Sam

Pete: His dad

Claudia: Her parents, brother, and sister

Steve: His sister (and sorta his boyfriend)

Artie: Other agents (who did he lose, if any, prior to his recruitment?)

Helena: Christina

Abigail: A patient

Mrs. Frederic: Her sister, and other family members she outlived

However, 2 well-developed Warehouse employees, as far as we know, haven't lost anyone: James and Leena. James was about to lose his wife, but he saved her at the cost of firemen. Whether he lost someone before joining the Warehouse, we don't know.

Leena seems too happy and like she has no baggage to seem like she's lost someone, but that would make her an outlier when it comes to the Warehouse, right?

So, this makes me thing of 2 things:

1. That experiencing loss/tragedy makes for better agents. How exactly, I'm not sure. Artie and Leena were great agents, but James turned evil (granted, he did repent at the last moment). If someone is better than I at psychology or whatever, perhaps you can explain?

2. The Warehouse actively seeks out those with sadness in their lives. It's sentient, after all, and the Defining Moment selection process is meant to be a gift to the agents, to remind them of their happiness there. What if the Warehouse chooses those who have experienced tragedy, possibly for the reason above, but also because it can help the agent heal and grow?

What do you guys think?
