Which Incognito character are you most like? Tap into the shadows and find out

These powerful words from SB19 Pablo’s rendition of Rivermaya’s Liwanag sa Dilim don’t just open the show — they ignite it. More than a theme song, they serve as the soul of Incognito, ABS-CBN’s most ambitious teleserye. Gritty, magnetic, and emotionally charged, the series has captured viewers with its high-stakes storytelling, multi-layered characters, and a world as complex as the truths it buries.

If you’ve ever wondered what your life would look like with a codename and a classified file, you’re not alone.

Incognito follows seven operatives, each haunted by their past, and pulled into a secret war of espionage, betrayal, and redemption. They are not just soldiers — they’re survivors, revolutionaries, outcasts. Each mission they take pushes them closer to the edge of who they used to be and who they might still become.

From the heat of Palawan to the quiet romance of Italy and the frozen streets of Japan, the series builds a world that’s as visually ambitious as it is emotionally devastating. Every frame is loaded. Every silence, weaponized.

In a move that grounds the story in something even deeper, each character bears the name of a real Filipino hero — modern warriors shaped by the legacy of the past.

The story follows the Kontraks, a covert group of ex-soldiers turned private military operatives, thrust into high-stakes missions that blur the lines between duty and survival. On the battlefield, they are deadly — precision, strength, and strategy woven into their every move. But beneath their armor, there are scars — haunted, broken hearts hardened by betrayal, loss, and a past they can never escape.

Andres Malvar (Inspired by Andres Bonifacio + Miguel Malvar)

Codename: Wolf

Wolf, when left alive ensures its prey will never know peace. Honed in the art of close combat and guerrilla warfare, it strikes unflinchingly.

An ex-Scout Ranger with a revolutionary’s fire and a soldier’s instinct. Discharged after avenging his father's murder, now on a hunt to find his missing brother.

#Incognito: The howl comes last, and you only hear it if you survive.

You’ve got a strong sense of right and wrong — and when someone crosses the line, you feel it deep. You’re loyal to a fault, especially when it comes to family or close friends. People might not always know what’s going on in your head, but when you move, you move with purpose. You probably enjoy stories that feature themes of revenge, loyalty, and characters who bear emotional scars yet continue to push forward. 

Jose Bonifacio (Inspired by Jose Rizal + Andres Bonifacio)

Codename: Shark

Shark detects a single drop of blood; a strategist, trained in counter-terrorism, recon, combat diving, and urban warfare will always read your next move. Ex-Navy SEAL and born strategist. Disgraced after leading a mutiny. He’s as principled as he is deadly, and twice as dangerous when cornered.

#Incognito: Cool, calm, calculating. Cross him, and the jaws come out.

You’re the type who keeps calm under pressure and always has a plan. You hate injustice, but you also hate acting without thinking things through. You value principles, but life has taught you that doing the right thing isn’t always clean or easy. You probably love smart dialogue, complex plots, and characters who are always three steps ahead — even when they’re struggling inside.

Greg Baterno (Inspired by Gregorio del Pilar + Pedro Paterno)

Codename: Noah/Contractor 

Much like the biblical Noah, he is chosen for his ability to navigate chaos and lead through impossible situations. As the leader of a private military company, he orchestrates covert government operations flawlessly.

Ex-Navy Intel turned private military kingpin. Greg plays both sides with a handshake and a smirk.

#Incognito: He doesn’t just survive storms — he builds the ark before they hit.

You’ve got charm, confidence, and a way of reading people that most miss. You know how to adapt, even when things get messy. You’re drawn to stories with twists, morally grey characters, and people who know how to play the game without losing themselves (or at least not showing it). You respect ambition, even if it comes with a little dirt.

Max Alvero (Inspired by Macario Sakay + Rosa Sevilla Alvero)

Codename: Eagle 

With sharp eyes and deadly talons, she's a predator in the skies. Her eyes are locked and ready to strike. You can run, but you can’t hide — she’s coming to tear you apart.

Ex-military dishonorably discharged, Max is an elite hacker and an apex predator on the web and in the real world.

#Incognito: Master of precision with a keen eye for her prey.

You’re sharp and stoic, booming with confidence, and won’t tolerate bs (bullshit), but beneath this persona lies a tender heart. Max’s strong and independent demeanor was shaped by the tragic loss of her fiancé, Sevi. Aiming to seek redemption from being dishonored and overcome her grief, Max has set an eagle eye on her prey. Like #codename: Eagle, adversities are no match — you face challenges with a strong facade and power through any barrier with tactical brilliance. 

Miguel Tecson (Inspired by Miguel Malvar + Trinidad Tecson)

Codename: Jaguar  

A ferocious predator and a deadly man. A jaguar is an animal that attacks in silence. Once he’s bitten you, it’s time to say your last goodbyes.

An ex-accomplished military surgeon with a roster of skills, a sniper, and an Explosive Ordnance Disposal specialist, plagued by alcoholism.

#Incognito: A fearless predator that embodies stealth, strength, and resilience in the wilderness. He’s prepared to attack. Fangs out, get ready for this canine. 

Miguel is a strong figure but is not immune to deep wounds from the past. As a member of the esteemed team, he aims to mend each wound and reclaim his dignity by serving the country. Perceived as a problematic father and alcoholic, this facet overlooks his unwavering fervor for the greater good. Every gunshot is a painful reminder of losing honor and his only son to alcoholism. With nothing left to lose, his gradual rise from rock bottom shows nothing but resilience. He vows redirection and changes the trajectory of his journey by serving as a father figure and an advisor to his fellow Kontraks. 

Gab Rivera (Inspired by Gabriela SIlang + Leonor Rivera)

Codename: Sparrow

These birds are small but can fight any predator that crosses their path. Sparrows can thrive in any environment — they’ll always find a way to survive with pure resilience and grit for vengeance. A beauty and fury strutting in heels, she has the wit and never backs down from a fight

#Incognito: Graceful as a sparrow, she blinds with allure, but be wary of agile attacks

You’re charming and confident but often overlooked. Gab’s femininity transcends beyond her dashing looks and sexy fits. Like her namesakes Gabriela Silang and Leonor Rivera, she is an emblem of Filipina bravery. Beyond her disguise is a strong woman who can conquer any fight. As we’ve seen in her stint in Cerdova, Gab is a force to be reckoned with. 

Tomas Guerrero (Inspired by Tomas Claudio  + Fernando Guerrero)

Codename: Monkey 

Don’t be fooled by their foolish nature, monkeys are intelligent and free spirits. These unpredictable creatures are smart and resourceful, always one step ahead of everyone.

A rebellious soul, Tomas Guerrero is walking trouble coaxed by his playful nature, he is a man of the streets, always ready to brawl.   

#Incognito: Between a punch and a pun–both never miss.

You’re a playful soul who never backs down, be it with jokes or a jab. Under this bravado is a man who wants to prove that he’s far from his family’s tarnished name. #Codename: Monkey is a free spirit but fearless when faced with danger. His true persona might come as a surprise when you take off his mask; revealing someone brazen and driven by an heirloom pain. A monkey might fall from the tree but always lands on its feet.

#Incognito: Find your identity

Whether you’re a soldier, a hacker, or a troubled son — whatever your identity may be — in this world of masks and missions, you're more than just a name.

#INCOGNITO is a representation of hidden battles of our identity   that drive us to chase the light when we’re engulfed by darkness.

The Kontraks aren't mere characters — they mirror the grit, fury, and redemption we all crave and carry. 

The shadows are waiting.

Your mission starts now. Choose wisely.
