[Meta thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure : Celadon City Vandels

[Dragonstrike]

So, as a quick little thing in case you were curious, I did a little reading on who the major players in Team Rocket are.  Figured it'd be interesting.


There's the usual suspects from the games and anime, obviously.

- Giovanni (boss)
- Archer (top ranked admin)
- Arianna (second in command admin)
- Proton and Petrel (other major Admins)
- Jessie, James, and Meowth (top Agents)
- Butch and Cassidy (other skilled Agents)

And here's where we start getting into the lesser known guys, the ones that don't show up frequently in the anime nor play a major role in the games.  (not including any manga exclusive members nor a potential Professor Larkspur)

Spoiler

Elite Officers
- Domino (one of the secondary antagonists from the first pokemon movie.  She reports directly to Giovanni, just like J&J often do)
- Iron-Masked Marauder (the inventor of Dark Balls.  Managed to capture Celebi for a short time with them, too.  He's not really a big fan of Giovanni, however, and often works alone)
- Matori (Giovanni's secretary.  She sometimes gives J&J orders in Giovanni's stead, and is sometimes even left in charge of groups of TR Agents as well.  She's quite a bit more than a mere secretary, and sometimes even leads an elite squadron of Agents known as the Matori Matrix)
- Gozu (an elite officer in the Matori Matrix)
- Pierce (he assisted J&J in the Best Wishes arc of the anime, but hasn't been seen since)

High Ranking Officers
- Attila and Hun (these officers are so BA that they managed to capture Rayquaza for a short period of time [as shown in a short scene during one of the movies], and they attempted to capture Raikou in the anime episodes.  While they didn't capture Raikou, it is unknown if Rayquaza managed to escape from them)
- Tyson (the officer who spearheaded the Lake of Rage incident)

Scientists
- Dr. Namba (one of TR's scientists, the main antagonist of the Lugia arc in the anime [not the movie, the episodes] and also who Butch and Cassidy report to.  Yup, B&C don't report to Giovanni very often)
- Professor Sebastian (another TR Scientist who's worked with Atilla, Hun, and Tyson on their projects)
- Dr. Zager (a scientist that J&J often reported to in the Best Wishes arc of the anime.  He also provided them with experimental tech during that time period)

Other
- Madame Boss (Giovanni's mother and former boss of TR.  The only pokemon she does not hate are Mew and Mewtwo, as she thinks she could rule the world by using them.  Owns no pokemon and exploits any that do come into her possession purely for profit)
- Miyamoto (Jessie's mother.  Disappeared while searching for Mew on Madame Boss's orders.  While she was presumed dead, Giovanni does not appear to think so, and Miyamoto may still well be searching for Mew to this day.  Maybe she's the reason Giovanni knew Mew would be at the Flower Festival in CCV?)

On top of that, Domino implied that TR has agents everywhere.  Though how true that is is debatable since the only TR members that have been seen in Kalos and Alola are J&J themselves.


On a slightly unrelated note to the above, while Giovanni didn't really take J&J seriously for a long time in the anime, after Best Wishes, he started taking them more seriously, and the classic Team Rocket Trio has been shown to be somewhat more skilled than previously.
