Using the pattern
The presence of humans controlling Avatars or Units in games makes it nearly impossible to avoid have Agents in games, and one could argue that unless human-controlled Agents exist in the design it is not a game. The description of Crobots, P-Robots, etc., as games show that others argue that this is not necessary.
Avatars and Units are examples of how Agents can be created by being directed by humans (or only seem to be so due to actually being Mules or AI Players).
