Bobbi Morse

"She's amazing." "That's why I asked her to join the team."

- Jemma Simmons and Phil Coulson

Barbara "Bobbi" Morse is a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent who worked undercover as the head of security for the HYDRA Laboratories.

Pre-S.H.I.E.L.D. Civil War
Before the civil war, Bobbi Morse worked as an agent for S.H.I.E.L.D.. While there, Morse became friends with Isabelle and Jane Hartley. Duing her time as an agent, she married Lance Hunter, whom she introduced to the Hartley sisters. During her marriage to Hunter, she found out that he is not a "big picture guy," and, to his disliking, began keeping secrets. They eventually got divorced because, according to Hunter, inter-species relationships are hard (Hunter claiming that, while he was a human, Morse was a "demonic hell-beast who was pure evil").

The New S.H.I.E.L.D.
After the S.H.I.E.L.D. Civil War, she was assigned by Director Phil Coulson to work undercover in HYDRA, and to keep an eye on fellow undercover agent Jemma Simmons. However, she only had access to HYDRA's security, not any of its research or projects. As part of her cover she had to dye her hair from blond to brown.

HYDRA Security
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have a mole!"

- Bobbi Morse

When Jemma Simmons' cover was exposed after she had made contact with S.H.I.E.L.D., Morse headed the investigation. To maintain her cover, Morse intimidated Simmons, noting her extensive background with S.H.I.E.L.D. When her cover was fully blown, Morse came to Simmons' aid and the two escaped on a Quinjet piloted by Antoine Triplett. Back at the Playground, Simmmons and Morse were greeted with warm welcomes. Hunter was suprised to see his ex-wife and to see her with her hair dyed asked Coulson why she was there; Coulson told them to "play nice".
