2. White hat
White hat agent provacateurs seek to uplift the free will of the target. White hat agent provocateurs will only ever work within ethical boundaries to get the job done. White hat agent provocateurs will take personal risks to get the job done.
Agent provocateurs are experts in the art of disruption.
Agent provocateurs are sponsored by government or business, usually on temporary assignment - such is the nature of the job. Their work is rarely accountable to anyone else but them.
