Characteristics
Personality
Agent 9 is incredibly trigger happy, and even gave his laser blaster a name ("Mr. Laser Blaster"). Along with being completely psychotic, he has an incredible disdain for Rhynocs, leading to his intense liking for killing them. Agent 9 always carries his laser blaster. The Year of the Dragon manual gave this as Agent 9's introduction:
"Don't monkey around with Agent 9 because he is one! Agent 9 is one of the Professor's lab monkeys. But after special treatment abd training he is no ordinary chimp. Agent 9 is a highly intelligent special operative whose specialty is laser blasters and precision delivery of explosives."

Agent 9 is incredibly smart and has incredibly marksmanship. He is also able to fend off many Rhynocs without being overwhelmed. He also single handedly cleared out a Rhynoc infested area of the Fireworks Factory, defend his homeworld from attack, and survive the five trials of the Haunted Tomb.
Agent 9 is also able to throw bombs from a bomb dispensing machine. In the Fireworks Factory, Agent 9's laser blaster is upgradeable to a machine gun with 500 rounds.
Character History
Early Life
Agent 9 was a lab monkey among eight others of the Professor. From the Year of the Dragon introduction that was given, we can infer that the Professor like Agent 9 the best, and gave him special training as well as a high powered laser blaster. This may very well be the reason that Agent 9 is psychotic and obsessed with killing Rhynocs.
Year of the Dragon Incident
Agent 9 was apprehended by the Sorceress as her Rhynoc army took over Agent 9's Lab. He was entrusted to Moneybags, who sold Agent 9's freedom to Spyro for a steep price. After Agent 9 was freed, he showed Spyro 'how to make a bear dance,' sending Moneybags running.
After being freed, Agent 9 returned to his homeworld and freed his lab of Rhynocs. This process was arduous, as the Rhynocs had taken control of almost everything, and clogged the Professor's machines with birds. Agent 9 was able to destroy the control panels leading to the Rhynoc hideouts inside the lab, presumably killing the remaining Rhynocs inside of dehydration and starvation.
After freeing the lab, Agent 9 responded to Handel's distress call from the Fireworks Factory. Greta had stolen the Sorceress' plans to her rocket so that the Professor could build one for Spyro to travel to Midnight Mountain. However, Handel had found a Dragon Egg deep underground in the Fireworks Factory, and sent Agent 9 on a Doom-esque mission to save it.
Unfortunately, when Agent 9 saved the egg, Handel was tied to a bomb by a Rhynoc. Agent 9 has to fight his way back through the underground labyrinth through hordes of Ninja Rhynocs to save Handel from death. Agent 9 was successful, and was rewarded with another Dragon Egg the Rhynoc had left behind.
Afterwards, Agent 9 went to the Haunted Tomb, where he was cursed by the native Egyptian Dogs to have his tail turn into a snake. He was able to brave the five trials to attempt to redeem himself, but unfortunately, Agent 9's tail still turned into a snake after the Sorceress was defeated.
After besting the five trials, Agent 9 went to the Dino Mines, where he was promised deputyship if he could eliminate the Bailey Gang. Agent 9 was successful, and became a deputy of the Dino Mines Sheriffs.
After the Sorceress' defeat, Spyro visited the Professor and Elora at Agent 9's Lab. Spyro inquired as to where Hunter was, but the Professor would not tell Spyro. Agent 9, however, almost told Spyro he was with Bianca, but the Professor was able to distract Agent 9 with a Rhynoc.
While Agent 9 was not present during the Spyro: Season of Ice, it is incredibly likely that he was busy restoring Agent 9's Lab after is was invaded by Rhynocs, like many of the other inhabitants of the Forgotten Realms.
Season of Flame
During the Season of Flame, Agent 9, along with Sheila assisted Spyro in collected the fireflies stolen by the diminutive wizard Ripto. Agent 9 collected many fireflies during the incident, and helped to take Ripto down.
The Stolen Laboratory
When Ripto returned and stole the Professor's laboratory, Agent 9, along with Sgt. Byrd and Spyro, teamed up to collect the twelve "hearts" in order to free the Lab and gain access to Chateau Ripto. Agent 9 assisted by freeing his fellow Agents from Ripto's clutches.
After Ripto was banished again, Ripto escaped and teamed up with Dr. Neo Cortex. Cortex and Ripto put both the Wumpa Jungle and Dragon Realms in danger. Agent 9 responded to the call of duty and helped Spyro fight off the genetically-enhanced Riptocs. He was also able to give Spyro advice along the way.
