The Strangler Fig is the head of the Eclectic Subdivision of Advanced Species. It was previously a secretary in the Department of Mary Sues, before being assigned by the Board of Flowers to set up ESAS in 2004. The Fig is known to enjoy opera, speaks in a refined British accent (or at least is perceived to do so by Agents), and has a somewhat strained relationship with its Agents, especially after Logan and Entropy accidentally trashed the Cafeteria and the Fig was forced to explain to the Board of Department Heads how a Mary Sue in the form of a grizzly bear came to be in HQ.
