Appearance[]
Agent Stone is an average height slim man in his late 20's to early 30's with short, slicked black hair and brown eyes, and he has a neatly trimmed beard. He also wears a black suit with a navy shirt, black tie, and black pants. When he disguises himself as a G.U.N. agent, he wears a black uniform and a helmet. And when he works at The Mean Bean Coffee Café, he wears a white shirt, black pants, and an apron.
Personality[]
At first, Agent Stone appears to be a normal and level-headed man and very loyal to Dr. Robotnik because he's used to his antics, and he understands him more than anyone else. He has also shown to be a complete subservient to Dr. Robotnik, as he takes the abuse and humiliation from Dr. Robotnik without question. He also genuinely cares for or admires Dr. Robotnik, to the point of making lattes for him. And considering that Dr. Robotnik enjoys said lattes, Agent Stone is the only person that Dr. Robotnik has shown any kindness to. Agent Stone's affability tends to extend to most people, seeing as he remarks that Tails is rather adorable in person and offers to make guacamole with Shadow while they wait for Dr. Robotnik and Professor Gerald Robotnik to infiltrate G.U.N. Headquarters, expressing concern for Shadow's mental wellbeing as well.
However, it's shown that Agent Stone can be nearly as dangerous as Dr. Robotnik himself in the comic book, Sonic the Hedgehog 2: The Official Movie Pre-Quill. His admiration towards Dr. Robotnik goes even further, to the point of borderline obsession over him. He not only misses Dr. Robotnik during his absence but also brews coffee drinks forming the shape of his and Dr. Robotnik's face with heart shapes surrounding them, showcasing his obsessive loyalty.
Biography[]
Sonic the Hedgehog (2020)[]
Agent Stone is first seen in the film accompanying his egomaniacal boss, Dr. Robotnik, to investigate the power outage accidentally caused by Sonic. He and Dr. Robotnik start to harass and belittle Major Bennington, "translating" Dr. Robotnik's words for Major Bennington as Dr. Robotnik sends his army of drones to locate the source energy and begins the investigation. He is later seen with Dr. Robotnik who analyzes Sonic's footprint.
After one of the main protagonists of the film, Tom Wachowski, punches Dr. Robotnik in the face and escapes with Sonic, Agent Stone quickly enters Tom's house and helps Dr. Robotnik, only to be humiliated by him for not chasing after Sonic and Tom instead. And then, Agent Stone picks up Sonic's leftover quill.
When Tom calls the Green Hill Police Station, Dr. Robotnik, Agent Stone, and the other agents monitor the call. Agent Stone is later seen accompanying Dr. Robotnik as he interrogates the Roadhouse Thug, who was encountered by Sonic and Tom.
After Dr. Robotnik fails to capture Sonic and having his drones destroyed, he orders Agent Stone to pin himself to the wall and starts to vent his frustrations onto him before noticing Sonic's quill in Agent Stone's coat and begins to analyze it.
As Dr. Robotnik jams to music while analyzing Sonic's quill, Agent Stone accidentally sneaks up and scares him, offering him a latte with steamed Austrian goat's milk, to which Dr. Robotnik strangely scolds Agent Stone by praising his barista skills in an angry manner. After analyzing Sonic's quill, Dr. Robotnik tells Agent Stone to ready "The Prototype." He is never seen again after that.
After Dr. Robotnik is sent to the Mushroom Planet during the final battle, he begins to lose his sanity. This is shown as he finds a rock, decorates it to resemble his henchman complete with a moss beard and carved-in smiley face, and calls it "Agent Stone," a pun on the fact that he's talking to a rock disguised as his agent, lugging it around as he cracks insane jokes to it while questioning why it won't laugh at him.
Sonic the Hedgehog 2: The Official Movie Pre-Quill[]
Agent Stone serves as the main antagonist of the comic, appearing as the main antagonist of "Hedgehog Day Afternoon", and the protagonist villain of "The Secret Of My Distress".
After the events of the first film, Agent Stone found a contingency plan by Dr. Robotnik that was left for Agent Stone prior to his final fight with Sonic in case he was defeated so that Agent Stone could survive without him. In it, Dr. Robotnik gave Agent Stone instructions on how he could succeed him and take over the world. Agent Stone's first step was to retrieve Dr. Robotnik's Control Glove so he could control Badniks, which was located in a bank. Agent Stone hired Lindsey and Jason, a pair of thieves, to rob the bank and find the glove.
However, Lindsey and Jason turned on him after they realized the power of the Badniks and attempted to take the glove for themselves, but Agent Stone managed to hack the final Badnik they summoned and used it to take the glove from them. After gaining the Dr. Robotnik Control Glove, he had to ingratiate himself into the society of Green Hills and slowly take it over from inside. To do this, he became a Barista for a coffee shop, but his boss, Karen, treated him very poorly. She even spit his own latte in his face in disgust and told him to clean up her mess.
He remembered that Dr. Robotnik had warned him about all sorts of people, such as suckers, scammers, and people without ambition. So, Agent Stone told one of his co-workers that he would be controlling everything in the shop in about a week, and would make Karen bow to him. On his first day, his co-worker, Tina, asked him to cover for the weekend as she had an important family meeting to attend, which Agent Stone accepted. However, Tina was lying about the family meeting. Instead, she wanted to go to the beach and take a week off. Believing she was clever for tricking Agent Stone, she had only fallen into Agent Stone's trap, who had several Badniks dismantle her car behind her so that she couldn't go back home, leaving her stranded on the beach. Since Tina could not come to work, Karen replaced her with Agent Stone, who moved up in the ranks.
Karen's assistant manager became suspicious of Agent Stone and directly told him about it. The next day, Agent Stone had several Badniks kidnap the assistant manager, but is not shown what happens to him afterwards. With both Tina and Karen's assistant manager missing, Agent Stone became the new assistant manager. However, Agent Stone decided to keep the only employee who had not wronged him around, but only for his own benefits. The next day, he framed Karen for money laundering, getting her arrested. He then gave her a phone call while she was in prison, telling her that the shop is in good hands now. Only when he hanged up, did she realize that it was Agent Stone.
With Karen gone, Agent Stone became the new owner, and he could change the name of the shop to whatever he wanted, changing it to The Mean Bean Coffee Café.
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022)[]
| “ | Doctor. It's really you. You look different. | „ |
| ~ Agent Stone to Dr. Robotnik |
Eight months after Dr. Robotnik’s first defeat, Agent Stone was still making lattes for his clients, but he still missed Dr. Robotnik. And then, he got a text from his boss about making his Austrian goat latte, which got him excited. Afterward, he kicked everyone out of the store to celebrate and announce the return of his boss.
After Dr. Robotnik appeared with a new look, as he was bald, and with a new mustache, he was well dressed for his arrival, and gave him his latte until he met Dr. Robotnik's new ally, Knuckles, a warrior echidna, and screams in pain as he shook his hand because Knuckles squeezed it.
Agent Stone, Dr. Robotnik, and Knuckles opened Dr. Robotnik's new base, and he learned about the Master Emerald, an emerald of great power, and was amazed at the power his boss would have, as he would use it to exact revenge on Sonic. He stayed in the cafe while Knuckles got upset with Dr. Robotnik for leaving Agent Stone behind.
A day later, he was looking for new suits for Dr. Robotnik, but was interrupted by Wade Whipple, a police friend of Tom's, who thought that he was a robot because of his hands. However, Agent Stone proved to be human, and he was questioned by Wade about bagels. Later, Agent Stone was rescued by Dr. Robotnik, who possessed the power of the Master Emerald. And in order to not abandon his boss again, he decided to go with Dr. Robotnik to form a tornado by the power of the Emerald.
With the Death Egg Robot built, Agent Stone was inside with Dr. Robotnik as they celebrated the destruction until Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles showed up to stop them. Agent Stone had to learn how to use the robot, and Dr. Robotnik launched the missiles at the heroes. During the fight, Agent Stone was knocked out until the robot's destruction. After Dr. Robotnik's second defeat, Agent Stone somehow survived. And then, he disguised himself as a G.U.N. agent (presumably through incapacitating an agent and stealing their uniform), and he heard another agent and Commander Walters talking about something called Project Shadow.
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (2024)[]
When Dr. Robotnik's drones killed Commander Walters, Agent Stone rescued Team Sonic from them, informing them that Dr. Robotnik was still alive, but wasn't behind the drone attack. He then took them to see Dr. Robotnik. Afterward, the group teamed up with Dr. Robotnik to investigate the person who was responsible for Commander Walters' death by using the drones. Later, when Dr. Robotnik reunited with his grandfather, Professor Gerald Robotnik, they took Agent Stone with them to their ship. At that moment, Shadow created a black hole to eliminate Team Sonic. Shadow then went off to catch up with Dr. Robotnik, Gerald, and Agent Stone. Unbeknownst to them, Sonic used one of Tails' rings to escape from the black hole. Agent Stone stayed behind with Shadow, while the Robotniks infiltrated G.U.N. Headquarters to get the second keycard to the Eclipse Cannon. After Shadow said that there would be nothing left of Earth when they accomplished their goal, Agent Stone attempted to warn Dr. Robotnik that his grandfather might be up to something more sinister than simply ruling the world. Unfortunately, Dr. Robotnik refused to listen, and he abandoned Agent Stone, leaving him shocked and dismayed. Luckily, Dr. Robotnik eventually discovered that Gerald planned to use the Eclipse Cannon to destroy Earth and humanity, including themselves.
After defeating Gerald, Dr. Robotnik and Shadow decided to sacrifice themselves to destroy the Eclipse Cannon and save the world. Just before making the sacrifice, Dr. Robotnik told Agent Stone that he was a "syco-friend", and that he was going to miss his lattes with steamed Austrian goat milk, reiterating that he "loved the way he made 'em!", just as he said in the first film. And with that, Shadow and Dr. Robotnik successfully turned the Eclipse Cannon away from Earth, sacrificing themselves in the resulting explosion. Tearfully, Agent Stone said goodbye to his boss and best friend, and walked away, presumably to create a new life for himself.

Trivia[]
- Agent Stone is very similar to Snively, as they both served under a version of Dr. Robotnik, and they were quite submissive to him. However, Snively is Dr. Robotnik's nephew, and he longs to usurp him, whereas Agent Stone seems to genuinely admire his Dr. Robotnik, despite not being related to him.
- He can also be seen as a mix of Orbot and Cubot from the video games, as he understands what Dr. Robotnik's words mean, but somehow doesn't share the intellect with his boss.
- He can also be seen as a parallel to Grimer Wormtongue from Fleetway's Sonic the Comic, as they are both loyal and competent assistants to their Dr. Robotnik's with a pathological need to serve him that tolerate his abuse without question. Aside from that, they have countless other similarities.
- In the novelization of the first film, Agent Stone fills the role of Commander Walters as the one who visits Tom and Maddie at the end, implying that he holds no grudge against them and Sonic, which contradicts the second film where he's still a devoted servant of Dr. Robotnik.
- The name of Agent Stone's café is likely an allusion to the spinoff game, Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine.
- When Agent Stone closes up his cafe, he pulls out a health inspection rating sign bearing an "A" rating to reveal one bearing "F-". It's unknown whether Agent Stone mismanaged his cafe so poorly and faked a favourable rating or the "F-" is merely a ruse to scare away customers if he wants to work on illegal activities unexposed.
- Considering that Agent Stone has excellent latte making skills, the presence of numerous customers, and the fact that a "C" is the poorest health inspection rating that can be given, this is likely a ruse.
- Despite being a significant character in the film series, Agent Stone had no direct interactions with Sonic or the Wachowski family prior to the events of the third film. And even though he interacted with Sonic in the third film, he still didn't interact with the Wachowski family.
- The first Sonic the Hedgehog film is the only one where Agent Stone isn't seen at the end of the story (not counting the stone that Dr. Robotnik made on the Mushroom Planet).
- Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is the only film where Agent Stone's fate is revealed at the end of the story. During the mid credits scene, Agent Stone disguises himself as a G.U.N. agent, so that he can escape from the other G.U.N. agents. The other films don't reveal Agent Stone's fate. However, Sonic the Hedgehog 2's prequel comic book did reveal that Agent Stone started to work at a café after the events of the first film.
- Despite not being shown onscreen, it's possible that Agent Stone became Knuckles' enemy after finding out that Dr. Robotnik betrayed him.
- In every film, Agent Stone doesn't have any interactions with Commander Walters. However, he is considered to be one of his enemies. Probably because he works for Dr. Robotnik.
- Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is the only film where Agent Stone doesn't interact with Wade Whipple. In the first film, he and Dr. Robotnik asked Wade about Sonic and Tom's whereabouts. In Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Wade interrogated Agent Stone when he saw him at The Mean Bean Coffee Café.
- In Sonic the Hedgehog 3, the only time that Sonic said Agent Stone's name was when he was telling him and Tails to take the left tunnel. As a bonus, the only time that Agent Stone referred to Sonic by his name was when he was talking to Tails about him.
- Even though Sonic the Hedgehog 3 revealed that Dr. Robotnik was still alive, it didn't explain how Agent Stone found him. However, one of the film's deleted scenes revealed that Agent Stone saved Dr. Robotnik after the crash, and nursed him back to health.
- When Agent Stone takes off his helmet and shows himself to Team Sonic, Sonic and Tails look surprised to see him, even though they've never met him before. However, it's possible that Knuckles told them about his time with Dr. Robotnik and Agent Stone before the events of Sonic the Hedgehog 3.
- Agent Stone and Dr. Robotnik are the only villains who appear in more than one film. The Echidna Tribe, Shadow the Hedgehog, and Metal Sonic don't count because the second film only shows the former two in the flashback and the mid credits scene, and the third film also shows the latter in the mid credits scene. However, it was confirmed that Shadow and Metal Sonic will return in the fourth film.
- When Agent Stone yells, ‘'He's back!'’, after Dr. Robotnik returned from the Mushroom Planet after eight months, it became a popular internet YouTube meme any time a villain returns in a sequel to get their revenge on the hero, or when a character is returning.
- Despite referring to Dr. Robotnik as Doctor, Agent Stone doesn't actually refer to him by his last name.
- It's unknown what Agent Stone's first name is.
- It's also unknown if Agent Stone will return in Sonic the Hedgehog 4. However, Lee Majdoub did say that he was interested in reprising his role.
- During the production of Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Lee Majdoub actually shaved off Jim Carrey's hair after the latter let his hair grow for a year and a half. Majdoub also said that he was actually nervous about being on camera while shaving Carrey's hair.
