TV Special
Description
Andrew Gilbert Mills is a supporting character in Sword Art Online: Extra Edition, where he is known by his in-game username, Agil. He is an African-American man of large and muscular build, which is consistent between his virtual avatar and his real-world appearance. In the real world, he is the owner and manager of a café and bar called Dicey Cafe, which serves as a frequent meeting place for other characters. He has a wife named Kathy, who single-handedly kept the cafe running during the two years he was trapped inside the death game Sword Art Online.

Agil is characterized by a friendly, helpful, and reliable personality. He is a natural leader on the battlefield and looks out for the well-being of his friends and other players. Despite often presenting himself as a merchant solely focused on profit, he is known to have spent his in-game resources to help mid-level players improve and survive. Kirito has remarked that he is someone who can always be counted on in a difficult situation. His calm and trustworthy demeanor makes him an anchor for the group, and his significant real-world age and experience give him a mature, elder-brother-like presence among his younger peers.

His primary motivation is the success and safety of his community. As a merchant in the original Sword Art Online, he was driven to support the player base by providing equipment and supplies. After being freed, his focus shifted to maintaining his real-world business and supporting his friends in new virtual worlds. In Extra Edition, he joins Kirito and the others in the game Alfheim Online to help fulfill Yui’s wish of seeing a whale, participating in the Deep Sea Plunderers quest as a member of their party.

In terms of key relationships, Agil is a close and trusted friend of Kirito, often serving as a confidant and advisor. He maintains strong bonds with other members of the main group, including Asuna and Klein. His relationship with his wife, Kathy, is also a defining aspect of his character, representing his life outside of the virtual world.

Regarding his abilities, Agil is a formidable front-line fighter. In Sword Art Online, he was a high-level player who wielded a two-handed battle axe and participated in boss raids, possessing combat strength that rivaled the game’s top clearing groups. He also had a keen business sense as a successful道具屋 (dōguya) or item shop owner. When he transfers his account to Alfheim Online for Extra Edition, he retains his axe-wielding combat style. His chosen race is the Gnome, known as the "Earth Spirits," which grants him an affinity for earth-based magic and high defensive capabilities. He effectively combines his physical strength with magic to support his party in combat.
