Every agent recieves English as a free native language.
Raurth Snowfang - you'll need to select languages for your agent. You recieve English + 6 other native languages and have four ranks in the Languages skill (giving you basic knowledge of 4 additional languages, 2 additional native languages, or knowledge of 2 languages and one native language).
Snowtiger - you have 4 free native languages and seven ranks in the Language skill that need to be designated. {The alien languages: Ab’Calldanti, Balk-te, Callda, Fre-galan, Jalan, Garslag, Hydrian, Nal’an’a, Neo-sterian, Riltaar, Tri-sterian, Trem, Quextor, Walkonta, and Wolksterian would be accessable to your agent as he works for Alpha Beta and can assume some knowledge/contact with alien races as part of his backstory.}
In Spycraft you either speak with an identifiable accent (have knowledge of a language) or are a native speaker of the language. You are literate in any language that you can speak. When purchasing languages with Language skill ranks it costs one rank for knowledge of a language, two ranks makes you a native speaker of the language.
