Agent O

The chief who keeps the MIB's secrets

O is the head of the MIB in the United States, after Zed. Calm, precise and sparing with words, she holds information back until the last moment and then trusts whoever proves capable. Emma Thompson plays her.

Men in Black 3

The chief who doesn't tell it all

In 2012, O is the head of the MIB and receives J, who asks for information on Boris the Animal and his 1969 arrest. She denies access and only says that K also deployed the ArcNet, the shield that stopped the Boglodite invasion, back then. When the past changes and J still remembers K, she is the one who reads the signs: the space-time continuum has been fractured.
