An agent is a spy. They work for a spy organization. We’ll call that organization A. They infiltrate a second organization (We’ll call B). They pretend to be a member of B but report back to A.
But, let’s say that they are *really* working for B. They are *pretending* to be a spy working for A spying on B but they’re actually working for B and spying on A. That’s a double agent.
But let’s say all of that is a ruse as well. They actually *are* working for A! But they are pretending to be a double agent working for B pretending to work for A spying on B.
And so forth.
