[[folder:Aram]]
!!Aram Mojtabai
-->'''Played by:''' Amir Arison

A [=FBI=] agent working in the task force, he's in charge of technical matters such as surveillance, hacking, understanding computer codes and electronics. He has also seen little action in the field since he works behind the scenes.

* AscendedExtra: Initially, he was just a tech guy who got a few lines in a couple of episodes. Then "Anslo Garrick" happened and he had to [[TookALevelInBadass take a level in Badass]] and help fight some mercenaries.
* DeadpanSnarker: Often after achieving something.
* FakeGuestStar: Like Dembe, he has appeared in almost every episode after the pilot. He usually gets more to do as well.
* FrameUp: What Fitch's party tries to do with Aram as a decoy in the aftermath of the black ops compound raid. Luckily, Reddington saw through this and saved him before the FBI can falsely arrest him for being a double agent.
* HeroicBSOD: Does this after he killed the mercenary who held Liz at gunpoint. This is due to his position in the task force, which doesn't require him to be out in the field and the fact that he told Liz that he only used a pistol during target practice. He only snapped out of it after Liz told him to get a hold of himself.
* HypercompetentSidekick: Of the whole FBI task force, he seems to actually be the one (except for Liz) who has some positive impact on the missions, i.e. he does something that Reddington does not have to help with. Especially comparing to Ressler who usually just gets heroically beaten up.
* NiceGuy: He does seem to be one of most easy-going of the group.
* NonActionGuy: And actually very scared of gunfights, especially when Anslo raids the black ops compound.
* {{NSA}}: [[AllThereInTheManual Prior to joining the FBI]], Aram worked with the NSA for 14 years.
* TheSmartGuy: His function in the task force.
