— Anonymous warning to the Commander regarding the Agreement.[1]
 ”

The Mephisto Agreement (“墨菲斯特”协议),[2][3][4] usually simply called “the Agreement”, was a pact forced by the Prometheans which prohibited the Commander from seeking and meeting the Tactical Dolls they commanded during their time at Griffin & Kryuger, and reciprocally, after the Battle of Frankfurt.[5][6][7][8][9][10] It takes the name of the demon Mephistopheles, who famously made an agreement with a mortal in Faust.

History

In the final phase of the Battle of Frankfurt, the Commander defied Griffin Lyons and the Prometheans and attempted to kill William to utterly destroy Paradeus. To stop them, Lyons had Havier Witkin activate the Nidhogg Protocol to strip away the Commander's authority over the T-Dolls produced by IOP, which represented 98% of their forces.[11] But with the help of other Dolls such as AR Team, Squad 404, Task Force DEFY and several Hume Dolls, as well as non-Dolls such as Kalina, Dandelion and Lunasia, the Commander continued to track down William. They eventually received the help of another Promethean, Mikhail Tsvigun, who temporarily canceled the Nidhogg Protocol and enabled the Commander to lead the final assault where they killed William. The price of Tsvigun's assistance was that the Commander would be exiled to the contamination zones aboard the Elmo landship.[12]

The Commander agreed to the exile as a solution to escape the Prometheans' influence,[13][14] and hoped to protect their allies from retaliation by not informing them of their decision.[15] The agreement was imposed because the Prometheans feared that the Commander could become a menace if they had access to the same manpower they took Paradeus down with.[3] Less than a year later, the Dolls would be dispersed across Eastern Europe due to the forced downsizing of Griffin & Kryuger,[16] and the newly established Non-Military Forces Administration ensured the Dolls acknowledged the agreement.[17]

In actuality, the agreement was more lenient than it seemed: it only prohibited active search and not encounters by pure chance,[18][19] and the Commander only received a warning after two months when Suomi boarded the Elmo. Groza, who had lost her memories, was an exception to the terms, though even the Commander was unsure about the reasons why.[1] After Groza, the Commander recruited more T-Dolls they had never met before, who were consequently not bound by the agreement. Squad 404 was noted to not be bound by the Agreement but the Commander nevertheless didn't contact them or reply to Klukai's messages.[20] While most Dolls reluctantly respected the agreement and focused on their new life, some ignored it and kept searching for the Commander, like Makiatto and Springfield.[21][22]

In November 2074, ten years into the Commander's exile, Kalina involved the Commander into the investigation of a new conspiracy related to Paradeus and Dandelion organized “chance encounters” to allow the Dolls to assist the Commander.[3] NOMFA then officially relaxed the agreement, allowing more Dolls to join the Commander aboard the Elmo.[23][24][25][26]
