Indigo Prime is an extra-dimensional agency dedicated to the maintenance and repair of breaks and distortions across the multiverse. However, they're not above making a few 'alterations' for any rich clientele that approach them. Their base of operations exists outside the multiverse and time itself in a hypothetical 'nullzone', which every event in time and space throughout the multiverse transects. All Indigo Prime agents are chosen, upon their death, based on the presence of a certain gene that occurs in one in twelve million people across the multiverse; given a new body, and then trained in a range of abilities to assist them in their job. Each agent also specializes in a role - known job descriptions are: Sceneshifters, Seamsters and Imagineers.
Redman and Dak – Danny Redman is Indigo Prime's newest recruit; a young British soldier resurrected for service when his reality's humankind was wiped out by a global plague of deadly mushroom spores; a plague deliberately engineered by a race of underground-dwelling Neanderthals. Unthur Dak is one of these Neanderthals, an Indigo Prime agent who had spent decades in 'deep cover' and rejoins the agency to act as Danny's handler.
Winwood and Cord – Respectively, Max and Ishmael. 'Seamsters'.
Crippen and Kiss – 'Imagineers'. Mariah Kiss is a powerful empath and psychic. Hawley Crippen may be the notorious murderer himself, or an alternate world version.

Spacesick Steve – An agent who got lost in the multiverse and in trying to get back to Indigo Prime's hub inadvertently let his specialist hardware fall into the hands of one parallel's inhabitants. Armageddon was averted and Steve rescued, but his body was beyond repair, necessitating his relocation into the body of a newborn baby.
Publication
Initially appearing in the Future Shock "A Change of Scenery" the agency was named Void Indiga but changed after Smith learned of Steve Gerber's graphic novelVoid Indigo. Indigo Prime agents then featured in eight illustrated comic stories in 2000 AD, two text only stories, and had cameos in a number of stories about Tyranny Rex, as her stories also occur in the Smithiverse Over twenty years after the last of the original stories was published, Winwood and Cord made a surprise appearance in the last few pages of supposedly unrelated and standalone serial Dead Eyes. This subsequently dovetailed into the first new Indigo Prime stories for two decades. From episode 3 of "A Dying Art" in 2000 AD #2052, Smith was replaced by Nigel Long, under the pseudonym "Kek-W".
