Operative

 are NPC allies that assist the Tenno during Syndicate Missions and will help them complete whatever objective is in hand.

Two will accompany the Tenno on all Syndicate Missions except Spy and Rescue. They carry their Syndicate equivalent weapon (E.G a Red Veil operative will carry a Rakta Ballistica) and will use them upon any enemy that has open fire upon the objective, Tenno or themselves. Their appearance is similar to Rescue targets with their suits flairs similar to the Syndicate they are representing.

Trivia

 * are one of the few non-boss NPC's that have Regenerating Shields.
 * Steel Meridian Operatives share the same helmet design as the Butcher.
 * Despite owning no Codex entry, can still be scanned.
 * This will result in the scanner becoming consumed.

Bugs

 * As with Rescue targets, the will occasionally reload their weapons more than required and will sometimes even reload after a sequential reload.
 * can sometimes become stuck whilst teleporting to the Tenno if they are out of range, causing them to freeze in place and not return fire until they are teleported again.
 * This will persist even to the point of the Syndicate Operative becoming downed.
