| 100 | |
| 101 | A former East German Stasi spy who was betrayed by members of his unit, and planned to eliminate his former colleagues. |
| 102 | ---- |
| 103 | * TheChessmaster: Has had a while to draw up a plan to track down and get rid of his former colleagues while in jail and executes it in a very efficient, methodical manner. |
| 104 | * ColdBloodedTorture: His preferred form is acupuncture needles to major nerves. Very clean and intensely painful. |
| 105 | -->'''Kohl:''' They laughed at me when I learned to use these needles. They didn't laugh long. |
| 106 | * CombatPragmatist: Kohl opts for the quickest method of disabling an opponent. Case in point with Reese where he hands his pistol to Reese while at gunpoint, using his other hand to deliver a well-placed nerve strike. |
| 107 | * CoolOldGuy: He's an ex-German spy with a lot of experience who can outfight Reese. |
| 108 | * DrivenToSuicide: After he's informed that his wife is alive and meets with her, she informs him she's completely terrified by him and as he's got nothing else to live for, purposely makes Reese kill him by levelling his empty gun at his wife. As Kohl said he didn't have a tomorrow, it's implied that he would have killed himself once he'd finished. |
| 109 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: The whole reason why he's back in New York, to take revenge for himself and his wife. And when his wife reveals she's utterly terrified by him, he decides to make Reese kill him as he's got nothing left to live for. |
| 110 | * EvilOldFolks: Despite being well into his old age, he runs rings around the young German intelligence officer sent to take him down and has the honor of being the first person seen in the show who can go head-to-head with Reese, stay one step ahead of him and even incapacitate him with a well performed nerve strike. |
| 111 | * FriendlyEnemy: He is very friendly to John. They bond over discussing tradecraft and costs of being a professional killer while Kohl is taking breaks between torturing Reese. He's also highly regretful when he has to depart while at the same time is preparing to plug John in the head. Later after their final confrontation, they have a rather touching yet bitter-sweet conversation as Ulrich bleeds out on a park bench. |
| 112 | * GeniusBruiser: Kohl isn't just a ProfessionalKiller; he is also knowledgable in chemistry (he mixed the hydrogen cyanide he used on Wernick himself) and anatomy, which he uses to great effect on Reese by subduing him with a well-placed nerve strike and often used in his needle torture. |
| 113 | * HeelRealization: He eventually realizes what he's become. |
| 114 | -->'''Kohl:''' You were right to fear me. |
| 115 | * JumpedAtTheCall: Kohl went from being a Berlin Wall sentry to spy when his country needed him. |
| 116 | * RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Against his former comrades in the Stasi, for collectively betraying him after having {{Heel Realization}}s. |
| 117 | * SuicideByCop: Variation. He makes like he's going to shoot somebody and Reese fatally shoots him, then it turns out the gun was empty. |
| 118 | * TortureTechnician: Tortures Reese for information, in a manner most technical. |
| 119 | * TragicVillain: Began to scare those around him due to his fanatical and bloody kill count, so they betrayed him when they defected. He wasn't pleased and flew to New York to get even--but then he meets the wife he thought was dead, and his daughter who he never met and then after realizing what he's become when his wife tells him she's utterly terrified by him, gets Reese to shoot him, killing him. |
| 120 | * UnderestimatingBadassery: Kohl seized his chance to escape when the German government, believing him to be old and feeble, transferred him to a minimum security prison. |
| 121 | * WorthyOpponent: Kohl has a great deal of respect for Reese as a professional killer, even apologizing before trying to shoot him. This also plays into his SuicideByCop; he knew that Reese would not hesitate to shoot a gunman if lives were on the line. |

| 675 | A well respected heart surgeon and medical researcher with Booker University who got divorced from his wife following an affair and now has a struggling relationship with his daughter. |
| 676 | ---- |
| 677 | * TheAtoner: He starts to believe that his poisoning is karmic payback for his mistakes in life, but gradually accepts that despite some of his personal flaws, he didn't deserve to be poisoned. |
| 678 | * BadassBookworm: When a relatively meek man turns into a DeadManWalking, all pretenses are dropped as he literally has nothing left to lose anymore. The man ''will'' get his justice and revenge if it's the last thing he'll do -- which it literally is. |
| 679 | * CruelAndUnusualDeath: ARS is no joke, and is a ''very'' nasty way to go. Dr. Nelson handles it like one hell of a champ though. |
| 680 | * DeadlyNosebleed: One of the symptoms of his illness. |
| 681 | * DeadManWalking: There is no cure, or even treatment, for ARS (acute radiation syndrome). The only thing he can do is ease his pain a little bit, and get his body moving with some adrenaline. It also helps to have a single-minded focus. |
| 682 | * DramaticDrop: He drops a glass when the poison takes full effect and he finally dies. |
| 683 | * FaceDeathWithDignity: Nelson wants to do this, and eventually succeeds. |
| 684 | * FreudianThreat: Toward a hedge fund trader; he shoots at his legs while noting that his vision is getting blurred due to the poison. |
| 685 | * MyGreatestFailure: For Team Machine, as he becomes the first (on-screen) victim-POI they failed to save, despite getting his killer. |
| 686 | * ToThePain: He spells out what happens when someone suffers polonium poisoning to the killer. Who's just taken it himself. |

| 709 | * {{Expy}}: He's basically a younger Reese in a different service branch, who hasn't made career decisions like joining the CIA or suffered personal tragedy in his life. Even Reese sees the similarities between him and Jack, giving him some friendly advice and also warning him not to accept any job offers from the CIA if he decides to become a SEAL. |

Then he gets involved in a bar brawl, has his friend kidnapped and wired to an I.E.D, is nearly kidnapped himself, is shot when Reese rescues him, is embroiled in a diamond smuggling operation he wasn't even aware of and is nearly late returning to the aircraft carrier he's serving on.

| 722 | |
| 723 | An internet entrepreneur and data broker. He founded and served as CEO of Lifetrace, Inc, a business collecting and disseminating for profit the private habits and details of internet users, sometimes with dire consequences for the individual. |
| 724 | ---- |
| 725 | * AssholeVictim: Big time, he's ruined many people lives and never made any effort to correct the problems with his website. |
| 726 | * BreakTheHaughty: At the start of the episode, Kruger arrogantly claimed that people who wanted privacy probably had something to hide when they complained about his site. Peter Collier and a group of people who had their lives ruined by Life Trace proceed to take him down several notches. |
| 727 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: Presents a slick and charismatic personality but it's a lie. He's got a criminal record, gone bankrupt in a previous business, only cares about his financial success, has been having an affair and is willing to injure the man who's trying to keep him alive just for a chance at finalising the business deal he's been conducting. Collier is utterly disgusted by him that he convinced his superiors who wanted Kruger to be scared away from his company to instead accept his proposal to execute Kruger. |
| 728 | * CorruptCorporateExecutive: Even Finch sees it and notes that he built The Machine as a BlackBox so that men like Kruger couldn't abuse it the same way Kruger's website is abused. |
| 729 | * DeathEqualsRedemption: Averted. Began to show authentic remorse when he learned that his site ended up killing someone. [[HeelFaceDoorSlam But he gets killed before he can make any possible attempt at redemption]]. |
| 730 | * EvilCounterpart: To Nathan and Finch in that he also created a system that violates privacy. Unlike the two of them, who built it as a {{black box}} that could not be accessed directly and sold it for a single dollar, he was only interested in making a profit and failed to care at all for the privacy of those he monitored. |
| 731 | * HateSink: Can you tell by his other entries that he is quite despicable in almost every way you can think of? |
| 732 | * {{Hypocrite}}: Calls out Finch ''twice'' for reading his personal info. |
| 733 | -->'''[[DeadpanSnarker Finch]]:''' "[[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Do you mind]]?" |
| 734 | * ItsAllAboutMe: Only cares about himself and getting the business deal with his website finalised. Made more apparent when he smashes a vase on Harold's head and heads to a business meeting where he believes the deal can be finished. It's a trap for Collier to kill him. |
| 735 | * {{Jerkass}}: Taken up to eleven when he smashes a vase on poor Harold's head. |
| 736 | * LargeHam: Given that the actor is theatrically trained, when Kruger starts losing it, he ''really'' starts losing it. It actually makes a couple of his scenes somewhat amusing in spite of his HateSink status. |
| 737 | * LaserGuidedKarma: Peter Collier arranges for him to suffer a severe loss of privacy and ruin his life in the same way Kruger's site did to so many others. |
| 738 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: After the father of a girl who's stalker/murderer used Life Trace spells out how Kruger's inaction when he requested sensitive information be removed was ignored contributed to her death, Kruger shows genuine remorse for the first time in the episode. Collier is not impressed however and shoots him. |
| 739 | * NeverMyFault: His main flaw, he never accepts responsibility for how his website helped destroy so many lives. One of the people who lost his child to a stalker who was using Life Trace to track her pointed out that he did nothing and didn't listen to the requests to pull critical information from the site. |
| 740 | * TheSociopath: Only ''just barely'' {{subvert|edTrope}}s this, since he actually does show remorse after learning about his role in the death of a man's daughter. But most other sociopathic traits are still present in his demeanor, including [[ItsAllAboutMe self-centeredness]], [[TheHedonist focus on profiting from his site]], and [[NeverMyFault refusing to acknowledge mistakes]]. |
| 741 | * TraumaCongaLine: For the first time, in the history of the show, its actually quite deserved. He's revealed to be having an affair at his wedding anniversary, his secretary learns he only hired her for her looks, the potential business partner leaves him out to dry, the board of his company learns about his shady criminal and business history, he gets thrown out of his company, he's nearly killed in a falling elevator, then a car accident and finally, he goes to what he thinks is a business meeting but is in fact a trap to kill him. |

| 1291 | A bounty hunter from Florida looking for the man who killed her brother. |
| 1292 | ---- |
| 1293 | * ActionGirl: She is so good in hand to hand combat that she can go up against Mooks with guns and win. |
| 1294 | * BountyHunter: Frankie is a very good bounty hunter, but this time, it's personal. |
| 1295 | * ItsPersonal: The man she is chasing killed Frankie's brother. |
| 1296 | * PercussivePickpocket: Frankie is such a good pickpocket that she can lift Reese's badge while in the middle of a fistfight with him. |
| 1297 | * {{UST}}: With Reese. Aside from several intense, close encounters, she notices Iris looking at Reese, and so lets him go with a playful "Call me when you're a free man." |

| 1308 | ---- |
| 1309 | * {{Determinator}}: You have to hand it to Khan; he just doesn't stop. |
| 1310 | * {{Expy}}: His software is one for [=McAfee=] Antivirus; it's software that's pre-installed on nearly every computer but has a not-so-great reputation. Khan himself could be one for the founder, although he's a little less eccentric. |
| 1311 | * HeKnowsTooMuch: Samaritan targets and ultimately kills him for this reason. |
| 1312 | * HumiliationConga: His existence is systematically dismantled by Samaritan; his life is destroyed, his reputation ruined, everyone abandons him, and he's ultimately killed. |
| 1313 | * InsufferableGenius: He's a remarkably intelligent man, but also arrogant: few people in his own company actually like him or even feel sympathy for him. It isn't hard to understand why people are willing to oust him from his company, since he doesn't seem like the kind of person that's easy to work with. |
| 1314 | * ProperlyParanoid: Khan thinks an artificial intelligence is targeting him, and he's absolutely right. |
| 1315 | * YouHaveToBelieveMe: He spends most of his episode desperately begging people to believe that he's being set up. Save for Team Machine, none of them do. |
