A sociopath who [[ItsAllAboutMe only cares about her own advancement]], she sacrifices her whole family: She [[ParentalAbandonment abandoned both her sons Lincoln and Michael]] while they were kids without saying a word; rejected her husband after [[DefectorFromDecadence he turned on the Company]] and had him hunted down; and arranged for her adopted son Lincoln (whom she despised for his relative lack of intelligence) to be framed and executed for a staged political assassination of Terence Steadman.

She pretends to sell the technology to a renowned Indian scientist/politician, but instead has him assassinated in public and frames Lincoln again, along with Michael, Mahone and Don Self. Christina intends to unleash a decades-long war between India and China [[WarForFunAndProfit so she can sell the tech to both sides for a quick profit]], knowing that it would quickly escalate into a global conflict. When Michael steals Scylla back from her, she kidnaps Lincoln and gives Michael an ultimatum for its return by shooting Lincoln in the lung to watch him die slowly.

** T-Bag. He was originally a guest star only slated to appear in two episodes but quickly became the most popular character on the show. The show repeatedly demonstrated his HiddenDepths, showing him to be a far more intelligent and resourceful character than the one-dimensional bad guy he initially appeared to be, giving him some EvilIsCool appeal.

There had to have been a more logical way to kill the character off.]]

** Season 4: [[PsychoForHire Wyatt Mathewson]] is a hitman working for [[TheSyndicate the Company]] under its leader [[TheManBehindTheMan General Jonathan Krantz]]. He's the worst and most chilling assassin the Company has to offer, with nearly every scene involving him killing someone or torturing people to death while talking to them in a [[SoftSpokenSadist calm, soothing tone]]. He kills or tortures many people (mainly, anybody working against Krantz); this includes women and even murdering Cameron Mahone and blowing the child's head off post-mortem to mutilate the corpse just to spite his father Alexander Mahone further. When he's given intel on Scofield and his crew by [[SixthRangerTraitor Roland]], he promises to give Roland $1 million and to let him go in exchange for the others. Once there, Wyatt progressively shoots Roland in the kneecap, then his thigh, and then in his stomach to watch him bleed out.

* WhatAnIdiot: In the episode “End of the Tunnel”, Daniel Hale is feeling guilty for his actions and wishes to help Veronica by meeting up with her and giving proof that Steadman is alive thus exonerating Lincoln. Unfortunately, his partner Kellerman tracked him down to the meeting just as Hale is pulling the evidence out of his pocket.
** '''You'd Expect:''' Hale to quickly give Veronica the very important evidence and tell her to hide while he handles Kellerman.

** While many fans hate Roland for being a narcissist computer hacker [[spoiler: who ends up betraying the team]], many other fans actually feel sorry for him. Michael and the group already seemed to hate Roland from the start for no real reason, with Lincoln calling him douche the minute they met. Roland was constantly bullied by the team, especially by Lincoln and Sucre just for opening his mouth. Roland was also very important to the team because of his hacking skills as they wouldn't have gotten the Scylla keys without them, yet the team didn't show him any ounce of appreciation. While Roland's [[spoiler: betrayal was wrong]], many viewers felt the team pushed Roland too far because of how badly they treated him.

** The whole team in the first half of season 4, especially Lincoln, for their sudden bully mentality towards Roland, which many fans feel came out of nowhere. It's even worse that they hated him the moment they met him. Plus the endless IdiotBall moments they get themselves in can get especially grating.

** There's a fair amount between Michael and Mahone with the pair constantly giving each other deeply intense and lingering looks right from their very first meeting. At one point in Season 3, while Mahone is threatening Michael against leaving him behind in Sona, he pins Michael up against the wall, gets right into his personal space and even spends a majority of the encounter whispering directly into Michael's ear.
