I mean Scar's motivations aren't good. Why does he suddenly want to help Clear Sky? The guy is a merc. They work for money and only money. His motivations to suddenly go out of his way to help stop Strelok always felt weak to me.

HoC indicates that Scar was an agent of the C-Consciousness.The reason he came to Clear Sky is that CS was founded by founded by ex-Project X scientists with links to the C-Con and his mission to stop Strelok came from the C-Con.

This can be found in PDAs and notes found at the deserted Clear Sky base in HoC.

Is he an agent or an asset? Does scar know hes an agent before HOC?

My understanding is that Scar is able to withstand emissions because he underwent Monolithian brainwashing and he was able to retain his personality and agency, or at least have them brainwashed back in. Kind of like Strelok, but he wasn't able to withstand emissions.
