 Also; visitors with "names" appearing in quotation marks seem to be a reliable indicator that the individual is an agent of someone-or-other, using a false name.
-Additionally, if you have any open or cold cases in the justice screen, you can interrogate them to attempt to determine whether they are, in fact, agents seeking to steal your artifacts or perform other nefarious deeds at your fort. If your interogations fail (because your Sheriff or Captain of the Guard has lower social skills than the interrogation subject), but you know the visitor is an agent, you can still convict them (falsely) of crimes and your Sheriff/Captain of the Guard (or other members of your Captain of Guard's militia squad) will attempt to arrest them.

 Note that if the suspect is able to evade capture and is about to escape (but is still on your map) you can give them a nickname on their character page (for example, you might nickname them "KILL THIS THIEF"). This nickname will persist after they leave your map and will appear in their name the next time they visit your fortress.

 Agents use [[Name#False identities|false identities]] and cannot be forced to reveal their cover, but they can be manually detected by the player by looking at discrepancies between their self-styled profession and actual equipment or skills (e.g. a [[poet]] with a crossbow*), or their name style and race (e.g. a dwarf with an elven name).

-'''Traitor''' dwarves were added with the first villainy update. At the time of this edit, next to nothing is known about them except that the concept exists. Clearly, research is needed, although the nature of the subject makes that difficult to replicate or observe.
+'''Traitor''' dwarves were added with the first [[DF2014:Release information/0.47.01|villains update]]. Dwarves can become ([[Intimidator|mostly]]) willing accomplices to a [[villain]]'s [[artifact]] heist after being flipped by a [[visitor]]. This is distinct from passively spreading [[rumor]]s, as they must be [[Social skills|convinced]] to join the plot. As with other schemes, [[interrogation]] can reveal a traitor's involvement in any plots.

 Agents infiltrate foreign towns and taverns, befriending other [[historical figure]]s - even hanging out with criminals such as [[boss]]es. The friendships are stored asymmetrically - agents consider their 'friends' as information sources, whereas the 'sources' themselves think they made a new friend.
