The hard X-ray all-sky survey with the Swift/BAT instrument has provided a detailed census of local AGN activity. The Swift/BAT AGN catalog from 9-months of operation has allowed the determination of the X-ray properties, SEDs, accretion rates and absorption properties of AGN in the local Universe. Here we present preliminary results from a complete subsample of AGN in the recently published 22-month catalog (extending this soon to the 36- and 54-month BAT catalogs currently in preparation), covering 4800 square degrees of the sky, in the Northern Galactic Cap. The ultimate aim is to present a complete and in-depth X-ray spectral characterization of this representative sample, determining detailed X-ray spectral properties such as absorbing column density/complexity, iron K emission and luminosity, while also making use of the extensive archival multi-wavelength coverage available (for example from SDSS) in this part of the sky to determine SEDs and accretion properties in these AGN. This in-depth study of a complete local sample will aid greatly in the understanding of distant AGNs in deep surveys.
