Agnes is the Palace Manager and Elena’s right-hand woman in The Regime. Andrea Riseborough plays the character.
Agnes is the Hard taskmaster who is in charge of keeping the palace running according to Elena’s wishes and she is the first person to face Herbert Zubak.
She briefs him on how he needs to behave and generally keeps an eye on him during his early days in the palace.
Agnes has a son named Oskar and she has an arrangement with Elena where Oskar pretends to be Elena’s son in public.
Oskar also has epilepsy and Agnes is always worried about him for that reason.
Anything for her son
Agnes is close to an attendee and they usually flirt in secret and give each other updates on what is happening within the palace and outside.
When Herbert’s influence rises and he insists on using folk remedies to treat Oskar’s epilepsy, Agnes sneaks in modern medication into his meals to be safe.
Even though everyone else shows clear contempt for Herbert, Agnes is one of the few who actually treats him fairly.
When Elena’s mind begins to devolve along with her government, Agnes is approached by the Americans to defect in exchange for her and Oskar’s safety.
She initially remains loyal to Elena but when things look dire around Christmas, she agrees to leave.
Unfortunately, the castle is stormed on Christmas eve and Agnes attempts to sneak through the mob to get to Oskar who was left behind by Elena and Herbert.
She almost makes it before she is killed by one of the rebels mistaking her for an enemy combatant.
