The Sargeant family are a married couple living in Twinbrook. It consists of Bobby Sargeant and his wife Scout Sargeant. Both are adults 14 days away from ageing up. Bobby is employed as a Squad Leader in the Military career, while Scout works in the Vice Squad in the Special Agent branch of the Law Enforcement career. While Scout is on track to complete her lifetime wish of becoming an International Super Spy, Bobby might want to switch careers to the Investigator track introduced in Ambitions, in order to fulfill his wish to become a Persuasive Private Eye.
The relationship between the two is not particularly high, though they are friends. They are both friends with Wei Keane, and share three common enemies: Wei's housemates Lang Gwydd and Justin Kayes, and Anna-Liza Riddle - who is also Wei's enemy and Justin's best friend. How this web of animosity developed is never explained, and is up to the player's imagination.
