The female agent is Ruby, a sensitive along the same lines as Sapphire: She can view historical events and communicate through echoes and emotional resonance produced by music. Gold is a Technician, with an innate ability to control friction: his first appearance is jamming a bullet in a chamber, with unpleasant results.

From reported speech it appears Copper was/is another technician, though unimaginative enough to cause problems with Silver, who was apparently his partner. From Assignment 4 it can be reasonably assumed Mercury is another Technician, and Assignment 1 shows us Lead acts as an insulator to facilitate others use of their powers (this is rather confirmed in speech in the audio "Zero"). Otherwise we know little: Jet would seem to be female and may have been involved with Steel to a sufficient degree for him to get teased about it.
