What folk dare to whisper under cover of darkness about Angus Weathervane is steeped in mystery and rumors. Surely those tales of pirates controlling the seas with an army of birds at their command cannot be true? Find out in #AgentsOfGroove!

A 1-bit screenshot from the game Agents of Groove. A portrait of a pirate wearing a big hat and a thick black beard is on the right side, over a name tag that says "Angus Weathervane". A bird, likely a seagull from the looks of it, sits on the pirate's shoulder, and appears to wear a tiny bandana above its eyes. Both the pirate and the bird have their mouth open as if shouting angrily. A text box on the left side says "Captain Weathervane for th'likes o' ye!" above an icon representing the A button. The whole thing is over a background that looks like a folder complete with a paperclip in the corner, a coffee mug stain and a stamp partially visible that says "Top Secret".

One of the younger #AgentsOfGroove, who often teases Daley for relying on time-tested methods, Paul Hanover may not be the sharpest tool in the shed but is nevertheless an invaluable ally and a skilled tinkerer with H.Y.P.E. equipment in the field!

A portrait, on the right side, of a man with long straight hair and a thick horseshoe moustache, wearing a bandana and smiling with his mouth slightly open, over a name tag that says "Paul Hanover". A text box, on the left side, says "Oh, right on, that explains why I can't remember anything! Or I think it does?" above an icon representing the A button.

What is this robot after, and how is it connected to the G.R.O.O.V.E. case? A case more unsettling at every step, like a tall tale told by an excitable sailor in exchange for the promise of more attention. Find out in #AgentsOfGroove!

Melody Handler, information expert on the #AgentsOfGroove team, works behind the scenes planning missions, accessing remote systems, and guiding the agents. Often Daley's last defense against danger, she just as often has to save him from himself.

A portrait of a smiling woman wearing stylish glasses, large hoop earrings, and a black turtleneck is on the right side. A text card is on the left side, with the text: "As such, you won't generally see me in the field much, but you'll certainly hear from me!", and an icon representing the A button lies underneath it.
