The Time Variance Authority is filled with multiple variants randomly selected by He Who Remains to keep the Sacred Timeline at peace. These TVA agents don't usually go by their names, and instead, go about their day through codenames. So, here's every TVA agent and their codenames in the Loki series thus far:

Hunter B-15

Perhaps the most notable among the TVA agents is Hunter B-15. Played by Wunmi Mosaku, she's one of the characters on Loki who initially followed the rules to heart. That is until Sylvie decided to show her the truth.

As a former high-ranking soldier in the TVA, it took guts and more time to persuade her that she used to have a life outside the citadel.

It was only when Sylvie helped her unearth her old memories that B-15 was able to work alongside her, Loki, and Mobius.

Hunter C-20

One of the earliest TVA agents who found out she's a variant who's been taken away from her timeline. Hunter C-20 (played by Sasha Lane) was the first Hunter Sylvie manipulated into thinking they were friends.

But of course, this was all according to her plans to destroy the TVA.

After Sylvie lets go of her possession of C-20, the variant's memories somewhat return to her, which raises suspicion from Mobius about their previous lives. With Mobius, it involved jet skis.

General Dox

The Game of Thrones star Kate Dickie joined the cast of Loki in the villainous role of General Dox.

In replacement of Ravonna Renslayer's absence in the TVA court, General Dox worked with Judge Gamble in trying to figure out the reason behind the chaos within the citadel.

Despite Loki time-slipping and explaining the whole truth behind He Who Remains, Dox remained firm in protecting the Sacred Timeline.

Unfortunately, the only way she believed would save the universe from utter destruction was by mass bombing the branching timelines. You can read more about it below.

Rafael Casal just joined Loki Season 2 with a major role as X-5 or X-05. Though his role was a mystery in the first episode, the second episode pretty much rolled out why he's important in the series.

On the search for Sylvie, X-5 stumbled upon his actor variant's life, where he was a movie star for a movie called Zaniac, a clever insert of how Thor could potentially appear in the series.

He's also the variant who led Loki and Mobius to Sylvie's whereabouts before Lady Loki used her powers and realized X-5's plan with General Dox to blast the branching timelines.

Why TVA Agents / Hunters Have No Real Names

It goes without saying that the variants He Who Remains handpicked along the Sacred Timeline are meant to work under him as mere robots.

Without giving them the liberation of knowing their history and origins, they ended up becoming known as 'variant' or 'Hunter' [insert codename here].

This is to ensure that each variant would focus on protecting the Sacred Timeline from branching and turning into another multiversal war, while also getting the job done as their main purpose.

Here are more of the other 'Hunter' variants that were briefly shown and mentioned in the Loki series so far:

Hunter D-90

Hunter D-90, like the previously mentioned TVA agents, was one of the variants He Who Remained took in from the timeline to operate within the citadel.

He's also one of the most featured TVA 'Hunters' throughout the series since the second episode of Loki Season 1. One of his notable works was following Ravonna Renslayer's orders of pruning Mobius.

Hunter H-98

In the presence of the young Sylvie Laufeydottir, Hunter H-98 was arresting and detaining a variant in his hands by bending the 'criminal's' arm behind his back. He showed up in the third and fourth episodes of Loki Season 1.

Hunter K-5E

Unlike the others, Hunter K-5E was barely seen in the Loki series. At most, he was one of the 'Hunters' running through a siren when the Time Variance Authority office blared the signal.

Hunter M-34

One of the newest additions to the Marvel series, Hunter M-34 was shown to be following General Dox's orders to mass bomb the branching timelines within their reach.

Unfortunately for him, Loki and Mobius got to stop them before making things worse for the TVA.

Hunter U-92

When Mobius was first introduced in the Loki series, Hunter U-92 was included on the roster of his team. At the time, U-92 and three other Minutemen were assisting Mobius on the mission.

U-92 is one of the rarely portrayed Hunters who speaks every language in the Multiverse, which includes English and French.

Meanwhile, the citadel of the TVA is currently falling apart in Loki Season 2.

Considering that the majority of the agents and police forces have already been made aware of their variant identities, the only problem now works upon each and every individual's own decisions.

They have two choices: live in their alternate realities or willingly stay to protect the Sacred Timeline.
