An intriguing pair joins Obol Squad as a new S-rank Agent in Zenless Zone Zero.

The Obol Squad is slowly but surely expanding, as Zenless Zone Zero recently released drip marketing for the next playable Agent in Version 2.2: Orphie and Magus.

Orphie and Magus will be part of the Obol Squad faction, joining Soldier 11, Soldier 0 Anby, Trigger, and Seed, who was teased as another upcoming S-rank agent for Version 2.2 last Friday (26 July). HoYoverse confirmed that Orphie will be a Fire Attack agent, though her exact combat kit has not been released yet.

Who is Orphie and Magus?

Orphie appears to be a Chimera-inspired Thiren; however, because the horns and tail seem to be augmented or added on, this isn’t actually confirmed to be the case. Interestingly, Magus, who is the Obol Squad’s captain, is the gun-like weapon connected to Orphie’s tail.

Magus was referred to as the captain of the Obol Squad and was mentioned by Soldier 11 in Version 1.0 during Trust Events, where Soldier 11 shared some of Captain Magus’s experiences at the field hospital with the Proxy.

Orphie and Magus also appeared as an NPC in one of the commissions in Version 2.0, titled Phantom Path, and later returned in Version 2.1’s story after Alice, Manato, and Belle/Wise were rescued by Pan Yinhu, the Phaeton's sibling, and the Obol Squad.

The most recent quote, shared in the agent drip marketing, also featured Soldier 11 stating: “The Captain knows exactly what she's doing, emotional unrest won't cloud her scope. And even in moments like these... Orphie's always there to back her up.”

What’s even more intriguing is that in the static shared on HoYolab, one of the quotes comes from "Don't Let Your Parental Relationship Become a Companion Hollow," which appears to be self-help material in New Eridu. It reads: "Parents should be the lighthouse that guides, not the captain who steers." This could hint at a possible parent-daughter relationship having formed between Orphie and Magus.

The Agent’s release date has not been confirmed, but it is assumed that they will be available in Version 2.2.
