Comot is the first feline to become a M.A.T.A. agent under the INVISO pillar. She first debuts in MISSION: I.R.I.S as a supporting character and officially debuts in MISSION: COMOT as a main protagonist, and was hired by M.A.T.A. in MISSION: BLUEPRINT.
Comot is a female cat with white fur and dark grey spots. The right side of her body has two grey circular spot, with the bigger spot located near her right back leg. Her tail end and her ears are grey-coloured as well. Comot is heterochromia, with her right eye being dark green colour, while her left eye is dark blue colour.
Personality[]
Comot is an intelligent cat, as she was genetically modified and trained to obey instructions, in stealth, and in opening doors or locks[1] before she met Ali, thus allowing her to perform agent-like skills or in assisting Ali during missions.
She is very loyal to her owner, Ali, as he was the first human to show her kindness, and assist him during missions or attack Ali's enemies who dares to harm him. She is also clingy to Ali, and would follow him everywhere, including school, mission, M.A.T.A. Academy, and even M.A.T.A. Arena. When Ali forgot to bring her along to one of his mission, she would sulk and ignore Ali's order or calls[2]. She is often seen feeling comfortable around anyone Ali deemed as friends or families, as seen by her relaxing around Dr. Ghazali, Bakar, Alicia, Rizwan, and Viktor.
Comot dislikes being heavily doted on, and would run away from stranger's attention, such as when Ali's school classmates surround her[3], or when Bakar and Iman would dote on her too much that she would run away or hissed at them.
Comot also dislikes traitor, and would attack or watches them intently, as seen by her beefing with Kimberly Song when she caught Kim planting a bug in Techno room.
History[]
Pre-Series Life[]
In the first concept, Comot was a stray cat that was abducted by mad scientists for their genetic engineering experiment, causing her to have the ability to camouflage. This part of the story is probably used in the final concept of the series. In "MISSION: COMOT", Alicia shows Ali and Bakar a Cyberaya news article that talks about police finding out a pet shop that was used to conduct illegal genetic engineering experiments on stray animals. It is likely that Comot was a stray cat and that her first owner were mad scientists. She was later used for the experiment that gave her high intelligence and the ability to camouflage. Before the police found out the experiment, she was taken away along with other genetically modified cats.
Prior to the events of "MISSION: COMOT" (and possibly "MISSION: IRIS"), Comot and the other cats were given/sold to Abang Bear. The cats were tasked to steal items for him, which one of the notable stolen items are Aunty Faye's jewelry by Comot. The crime committed by the cats became news throughout Cyberaya.
During the events of "MISSION: COMOT", Wak Musang shows a video about the I.R.I.S. to Abang Bear, which interests him. He and Komeng show the video to the cats, commanding them to find it or be punished for their failure. Since all the cats are somehow linked to a laptop, a button being pressed can electrocute the cats as a warning, or as a punishment for their failure or rebellious attitude.
Comot, who is one of the cats by Abang Bear, steals a circular item from Shaun and Syed. They chase her, which catches the attention of Ali, who is throwing the house garbage. Ali sees her and mistakes her as his missing pet cat "Labu", due to her dirty fur. Comot drops the stolen item in the middle of a road, and she tries to retrieve it, not noticing a car is approaching her. Ali manages to save her and then takes her to his house, escaping the rampage from Shaun and Syed as they think Comot is his pet cat and their item is run over by the car.
After the duo leave, Ali shows Comot as "Labu" to his father. However, he is not fond with the idea of adopting a cat due to responsibility and cost. He also tells Ali that Labu has run away after his mother passed away. After his father leaves for work, Ali feeds Comot, tends to her wounds and plays with her. Comot begins to bond with him and even comforts him when he's sad. When she allows Ali to pat her, he realizes that she's dirty and decides to give her a bath. Comot runs and hides to avoid it, so Ali is forced to use the I.R.I.S. to search and force her to get a bath.
Once Comot is cleaned up, Ali finds out that she's not "Labu" because her fur is white. Hence, he changes her name to "Comot" due to her first impression. When Ali deactivates the I.R.I.S., Comot sees it and recognizes the item that she's tasked to steal. As Ali is talking to Viktor on the phone, she steals it and uses her camouflage ability to escape, despite feeling guilty of her actions.
Comot is the last cat to return to Abang Bear, and is the only cat to obtain the I.R.I.S.. She tries to escape when Komeng's henchmen try to cage her. Ali, who is waiting for Bakar and Alicia to retrieve the I.R.I.S., goes to find Comot and tries to free her. Comot is electrocuted for scratching Abang Bear but Ali saves her from the torture by destroying the laptop. Ali tries to attack Abang Bear and Komeng's henchmen, but without the I.R.I.S., he's easily captured, along with Bakar and Alicia. They are locked in an abandoned warehouse with a time bomb.
As Comot is taken away, she has second thoughts. She breaks free, attacks Abang Bear and retrieves the I.R.I.S. for Ali. Abang Bear, Komeng and his gang flee with the other cats, knowing that the time bomb will possibly kill her and the agents. Comot returns the I.R.I.S. to Ali and listens to his commands, assisting them to escape unharmed. Comot is then taken back home by Ali as his pet cat.
After the events of "MISSION: COMOT", Comot is a loyal cat to Ali, always following him around, comforting him, assisting him (even if it means stealing) and listening to his commands (except in "MISSION: PROTOCOL GEGAS" as she's angry at Ali for leaving her at school). Though, she sometimes gets annoyed when Ali forgets to feed her (which is usually in the morning as he's late for school). Thankfully, she is independent and is able to fend herself off.
In "MISSION: BLUEPRINT", Comot secretly follows Ali to M.A.T.A. Safehouse, much to General Rama's annoyance. However, she proves to be helpful as she helps them to track down the whereabouts of Dos and Trez by attacking a robotic cockroach, and holds on to the blueprint of I.R.I.S. until Rizwan arrives to end the fight. Her assistance in the mission forces General Rama to take her as a M.A.T.A. agent but it will be Ali's burden in making sure she does not cause trouble. Since then, Ali usually carries Comot in his backpack to school in order to bring her for missions.
Comot is an active member in Ali's team, always there to assist them in missions. Though, she does not interrupt Ali in his training in M.A.T.A. Academy. She is also entrusted by Ali's father to look after Ali.

Abilities[]
Camouflage - Comot's main ability. This was revealed in Teaser #1 of Agent Ali and has remained unchanged. Her fur has been genetically altered to be able to blend into her surroundings. She is able to blend smoothly to the extend that it is very difficult to find her presence. This ability enables her to hide and make a sudden quick attack on her opponent (mostly on the head), distracting them to allow other agents to make their attack.
Enhanced Intelligence - Due to genetic modification, Comot gains higher intelligence than normal cats. She is able to perform exactly as the commands given (mostly by her owner Ali), make decisions, and provide suitable assistance. She also understands technology as she is able to disable robots for Ali and help Bakar to escape from his prison cell. She also develops empathy as she is seen to comfort Ali when he's sad.
Natural Abilities - As a cat, Comot is able to jump high and climb onto high places. Her small size enables her to sneak through small places like the air vent. Her claws allow her to cling onto walls, scratch her opponents for attack, and cut glass. She also tends to bite things to retrieve, catch or disable an item or weapon.
Ali is her owner. While throwing away trashes, Ali saw Comot and mistaken her as Labu, his old pet cat he had when his mother was still alive. Ali saved Comot from a potential car accident and fed, nursed, and bathed her. Comot initially "betrayed" Ali by stealing his I.R.I.S., forcing him to go after Abang Bear and Komeng to retrieve his I.R.I.S. back. When Ali saw Comot being tortured by Abang Bear, he revealed himself from his hiding spot and saved Comot, but was taken down quickly and locked inside a garage with ticking bomb. Comot turned against Abang Bear and Komeng and saved Ali by returning his I.R.I.S. back, and since then they have stay with each other together. Comot is loyal to Ali and would follow him everywhere, and often obey his requests such as catching I.R.I.S. blueprint drive and running away from Dos and Trez, free Bakar from his jail cells, or following him to sneak into M.A.T.A. Base at night. While she is loyal to him, she sometimes would question his owner's behaviour, such as meowing to him when he leaked Azurium location to Niki, or standing between him and Alicia physically when they argue. She would sulked if Ali forgot to bring her along. She is protective of Ali, as seen by her attacking anyone who try to harm Ali or getting backups for Ali during mission.
Comot is comfortable around Alicia. She purred when Alicia petted her[3], and allow Alicia to pick her up or hugged her. When Ali dropped his I.R.I.S., Comot gives it to Alicia as she trust her[4].
Comot trust and likes Bakar, but isn't comfortable with Bakar as her pet sitter. While she allow Bakar to pet or hug her, she hissed at Bakar when Bakar claimed that Comot likes staying with him[5].
Rizwan: When General Rama questioned the authenticity of Ali's claim that Comot helped them during mission, he backed Ali up and confirmed the claim, allowing Ali to keep Comot by his side and for her to follow them into missions.
Abang Bear: Abang Bear was Comot's previous owner. He bought her and the other genetically-modified cats, and would torture them via electrocution if they failed their given task or disobey order. Comot was afraid of Abang Bear, but eventually turned against him and attacked him, choosing to side and stay with Ali instead.
Dr Ghazali is Comot's second owner and Ali's father. He initially refuse the idea of keeping Comot, and was annoyed when Comot spilled water on his tablet. He doubted Ali's ability to take care of a pet cat as Ali can't even keep his room clean. Comot is comfortable and likes being around Dr. Ghazali, and even preferred him over Ali, as she refused Ali's treat and snuggled up to Dr. Ghazali instead[6].
General Rama: General Rama is Ali's superior. He was flabbergasted that a cat managed to sneak into M.A.T.A. Base, and told Ali to keep Comot out of the base as "this is not a veterinary clinic". He doesn't want to believe that a cat had assisted the team during mission, and asked Rizwan for confirmation. He is annoyed that a random kid and a cat is now part of his roster, but let Ali kept her around regardless. He explicitly told Ali to watch over her as any misbehaviour Comot do, Ali will has to take responsibility for it.
Viktor: Viktor is Ali's best friend. Comot seems to be comfortable around him and would even snuggled up to Viktor when he played video games with Ali[7].
Iman: Iman is Ali's friend. Comot would run away from Iman because Iman is aggressive with her love for Comot and would smothered her too much.
Kimberly Song: Kim was Ali's arena rival. Comot intially likes her and allow Kim to pet her, but Comot caught Kim planting a gatecrasher bug at the Techno room once, and has been suspicious of her since. She tried to alert Ali, but Ali did not understand her. Comot often watched Kim and eventually steal her bug from her and tried to run away, but Kim used her sound shockwave to reveal Comot's location. Comot attacked her but Kim come out on top, and knocked her unconscious and locked her inside one of the storage room in the Arena. When Kim tried to take out Ali and Alicia behind their back, Comot came out of the vent and attacked her, causing her to throw Comot onto the wall, thus alerting Ali and Alicia of Kim's betrayal and involvement with Cinco.
R-0: R-0 is Khai's AI-powered mini robot, and Comot and R-0 would play with each other from time to time[8][9].
