VALORANT, like many other live-service, first-person shooters, has an ever-growing roster of playable characters for players to choose from. Also in keeping with recent trends — see the Legends available in Apex Legends — the game has canonically LGBTQ+ characters in its cast.
So who are they? We’ve compiled a list to help you preserve track, which we’ll update as the game does. As of the period of writing, there are only two confirmed LGBTQ+ identified VALORANT Agents, but hopefully that number will grow as the game’s lore continues to broaden.

Killjoy
Klara “Killjoy” Böhringer is a brilliant inventor from Germany and serves as an agent for the VALORANT Protocol under the tutelage of its commander, Brimstone. She has invented several of the technological gadgets that the Agents use in their work, including the invaluable Spike defusers. Players are likely familiar with her cute, but deadly bots and quips about “German efficiency.”
Killjoy also makes up the calmer, more rational half of a queer couple that consists of her and Raze.

First-person-shooter video games “Valorant” and “Overwatch 2,” own achieved a “first” in their respective games: both hold introduced a genderfluid character in their roster. Valorant has introduced Clove, and Overwatch 2 has given us Initiative. Both characters canonically use they/them pronouns, and this is a big step for representation in video games. There’s been an grow of Queer characters in video games, and I desire to see this trend continue.
As a Queer gamer myself, I love seeing more companies announce characters that are part of the LGBT+ community. One of my favorite games to act is “Apex Legends,” as Queer inclusion has been introduce within the game since its debut in early 2019. One of its characters, Bloodhound, identifies as nonbinary. Another character named Gibraltar is a lgbtq+ man. Both of these characters’ identities play a monumental role in their lore.

It is though. As someone who is LGBT I don’t really enjoy when they randomly throw in the label just to appease me or anybody, it’s lazy.
