Chris Parnell
Cyril Figgis

Cyril Figgis, voiced by Chris Parnell, has a love/hate relationship with the new bosses at IIA. On one hand he admires their complex bureaucracy machine, but on the other hand they keep sending him on missions he doesn’t want to be on. Cyril would love nothing more than to stay at the office and work on spreadsheets all day, but how can he compete with a team of IIA accountants with years of experience? One thing is for sure, Cyril is probably the best accountant/spy IIA has…probably.
