Agents
Active agents
These are agents who have been seen as active during any book in the series.
James Adams
<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>
Born James Robert Choke in 1991, in Tufnell Park, London. The protagonist, James suffers from anger management difficulties, often landing him in trouble. These anger management issues were what got him expelled from school in The Recruit, in which he is recruited into CHERUB following the death of his criminal mother. James has had many girlfriends, notably Kerry Chang and Dana Smith, both fellow agents. He is said to be intelligent particularly at maths but being extremely lazy in school as well. He ends up dating Kerry again at the end of Brigands M.C., although he left a year before Kerry went to university in America and it was unclear whether their long-distance relationship would survive; Robert Muchamore later confirmed that it did. James Robert Choke had to change his name to James Robert Anthony Adams when he decided to join CHERUB at the beginning of The Recruit. He is the main character of all 12 CHERUB books. James's final mission is Shadow Wave. At the end of his CHERUB life, he returns to his "Choke" surname and switches his two forenames around, to become Robert James Choke. In Black Friday, he returns to campus to help train CHERUB agents, before helping Ethan Aramov to get information from Leonid.
Lauren Adams
<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>
Born Lauren Zoe Onions in 1994, in Tufnell Park, London. Lauren is James's half-sister and after the death of her mother, lives with her father Ronald Onions for a short time, until he is arrested for smuggling and assault; she is then recruited to CHERUB. She has accompanied her brother on missions in Maximum Security, Divine Madness, Man vs Beast, and Brigands M.C.. It is in Man vs Beast that she turns vegetarian, after seeing the cruelty suffered by animals used for laboratory tests. She goes on her first solo mission in the 7th book The Fall where she tries to help a young Russian girl called Anna who had been trafficked by Russian men but got separated and rescued. Lauren ends up being kidnapped by the men along with Anna and has to fight her way out. When she returns to campus she takes out her anger at what she saw on James but they reconcile later. She has an on/off boyfriend on campus, Greg "Rat" Rathbone, who she met on her second mission in Australia. They became simply friends again somewhere between The Fall and Mad Dogs but later dated each other again although they have an argument in Brigands M.C.
Kyle Blueman
<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>
Born 1989, somewhere in the United Kingdom. A key character in the early stories, Kyle recruited James into CHERUB through sharing a room with him in the children's home James inhabits following the death of his mother. Kyle is renowned around campus for his pirate DVD business. It is revealed in Class A that Kyle is homosexual, and he gets his first boyfriend, Tom Carter, in Man vs Beast. He spends an afternoon with Tom in James's bed, and James finds a sock in his bed and displays displeasure. Kyle retired from campus in Mad Dogs, after he got kicked out by Zara for helping in a plot to stop Norman Large from maiming Meatball (he had a drunken seizure on a camping exercise, with Lauren Adams being the only credible witness) He is James Adams' best and oldest friend; James describes him as his closest mate although he could be a bit of an old woman sometimes, James is homophobic and this is why Kyle is less open about the fact that he's gay.
Kerry Chang
<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>
Born Ling Chang in 1992, in Hong Kong. Kerry is recruited to CHERUB in 1998, after losing both her parents in an apartment block fire in 1995, and being found wandering the streets alone. Kerry is James's basic training partner, and they share an on/off romance between Class A and The Fall. In Class A, she accompanies James Adams, Kyle Blueman, and Nicole Eddison on the mission, posing as an adoptive sister. After breaking up with James in The Fall, she dates Bruce Norris; however, she still harbours some feelings for James in The Sleepwalker. In The General Kerry breaks up with Bruce in the very end. She ends up going out with James in the end of Brigands M.C.. At the end of Shadow Wave, Kerry gets accepted in Stanford University and, one year later, goes there with James. Kerry has an exceptional talent in martial arts and as James describes "...is a good all rounder in academics."
Greg "Rat" Rathbone
<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>
Born Rathbone Regan in 1994, Northern Territory, Australia. Rat's name was changed to Greg but everyone calls him Rat anyway. First appearing in Divine Madness, Rat was brought up under harsh physical conditions in the Australian Outback, as youngest son of the leader of a famous cult known as The Survivors. Rat is highly intelligent, although tests undertaken on CHERUB campus have failed to replicate the IQ of 197 that he claimed to possess while living in the Survivor's Ark. He secretly shares a relationship with Lauren, later telling everyone that they are going out in The Fall, but in Mad Dogs they decide to be "just friends". Rat is the main agent character in the story Dark Sun. It is also revealed in The Fall that he has bushy hair after Lauren claimed that she didn't want to go out with "a boy with a bird's nest mounted on its head". Rat and Lauren Adams have a relationship during The General.
Bruce Norris
Born Aled Thomas in 1992, in Prestatyn, Wales. He changed his name to Bruce Norris (Bruce Lee & Chuck Norris combined). James met Bruce when he had his martial arts test, and has since been on missions with him. Though he acts tough, he sleeps with a blue teddy bear (although he denies this whenever it is brought up by saying "it was on a shelf above my bed, and it fell"). He often talks of how much he enjoys brawls and James is often slightly concerned with how twisted Bruce can be toward violence. Kerry Chang (mentioned above)once broke Bruce's leg in seven places, and Bruce claims that it was broken in nine places. Bruce also fractured Kerry's kneecap in Class A. In Mad Dogs, he is seen to be going out with Kerry and this relationship is continued in The Sleepwalker and The General. However, the last line of The General mentions that Kerry and Bruce have had a row and had broken up. He later goes out with Bethany Parker and has sexual intercourse with her, but they break up, too. In Mad Dogs he goes with James in their mission to infiltrate the Mad Dogs football club and is given a black shirt by Zara for his outstanding performance.
Dana Smith
Born in 1990. Another agent who was James's girlfriend from The Fall to The General. She is bulky and curvy and is said to have large breasts. Dana is a tomboy and often wears beat up and ripped clothing. She is also a bookworm and her favorite book is The Lord of the Rings. She has an intense dislike for people who are of a higher rank but younger than her. She first featured in The Killing, and is one year older than James Adams and two years older than James's previous girlfriend. She split up with him, after having sex with Michael Hendry (who she briefly dated for 4 weeks after the end of her 13-month relationship with James) in The General. Also, she forgives James for having sex with Lois Thompson (Sasha Thompson's daughter) in Mad Dogs. She last appeared in Shadow Wave when she comes back to Chloe Blake's wedding.
Dante Welsh
Born Dante Scott in 1994, in Salcombe, Devon. Dante made his first appearance in Brigands M.C.. According to Muchamore, he is the most important character introduction since Rat in Divine Madness. He joined CHERUB after his parents and all but one sibling, his sister Holly, were murdered by a biker gang, known as the Brigands Motorcycle Club. He rescues his eighteen-month-old sister Holly and they both escape. After two months, he was recruited to CHERUB with Lauren, and began training at the same time as her, completing it while she had to restart. Four years later he had spent the past 32 months on a mission in Belfast, enough to go straight from grey to black shirt (after Zara bent the rules slightly). He then went on a mission with Lauren and James in Brigands M.C. in which he infiltrates the biker gang that killed his family.
Amy Collins
Born Jennifer Amy Pegg in 1987, Prestwich, Greater Manchester, England. In 1988, her father and younger brother died in a blimp accident, and her mother died of throat cancer. Amy is physically strong and skilled in karate, judo and aikido. She excels at sports, especially swimming and diving.

His friends on the CHERUB campus usually call him 'Shak'. He excels at team sports, especially rugby, which makes up for his underperformance in academic subjects by CHERUB standards. He is a good friend of James. He often makes sexist jokes which infuriates Kerry Chang to no end.
Nicole Eddison
Born Nikki Vandome in 1992, Tottenham, London, England. Nicole started basic training with James and Kerry, but dropped out on her first day, after being told she was too fat. She eventually completed basic training, but was permanently excluded from CHERUB after snorting cocaine in Class A. She has an intense disliking for old people, as her parents and two brothers were killed by a half-blind old man who ran them over but got away with it, because the authorities judged him not as aware of his actions.

Michael Hendry
Born Jordan Lindsay in 1991, Ipswich.

He is described as physically fit and good looking.
In the past he impregnated another member of CHERUB. He retired from CHERUB after The Killing, but makes a brief return in The Sleepwalker.
He is known for getting girls, having sex, and then treating them like dirt because he prefer relationships which last for a short time, not long-term, which has led to Kerry Chang labeling him a scumbag for doing so in his profile on the CHERUB website.
