Tess (Eve Harlow) is trying to be self-sufficient, dealing with “very desperate circumstances.” She’s hopeful and fights to help people.
Flint (Coy Stewart) had to grow up fast, but is trying to make something of himself. He’s based on a character from the “Inhumans” comics who can control rock and stone.
Grill (Pruitt Taylor Vince) is an ill-tempered taskmaster and “has no illusions about the world he lives in and this makes him a man not easily fooled, or crossed.”
Last season, Agent Coulson and the team saved the world with the help of Ghost Rider. In a rare moment of celebration, the team’s night off was interrupted by a mysterious man and an elite squad.
