* DeadlyBath: [[spoiler:His death in Mexico]] was arranged by Lillian without the knowledge for her father as "retribution" for kidnapping two American nationals in order to manipulate a government deal between America and Mexico.

!!General Greg Carter

An American military officer in charge of the Defense Intelligence Agency. [[spoiler:He covertly ran a WMD program tested on a death row convict named Luther Vick in Austin, Texas in order to synthesize and create vaccines in case the enemy was able to get a hold of the said virus]].

* WhatTheHellHero: Her reaction whenever the CIA get involved, since they usually cause a lot more trouble than they actually help solve (whatever their intentions).\\

* PapaWolf: When Nelson is taken hostage in "Athens", he builds a stun bomb, straps on body armor and a helmet, and goes off to save his son. Mind, the rescue wasn't needed since Jameson took care of that, but it's the thought that counts.\\

-> '''Played by:''' Josh Holloway

-> '''Played by:''' Meghan Ory

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: The ActionPrologue of the pilot. Gabriel busts into a Pakistani military compound by [[PoisonousCaptive letting himself get captured]], then plants a computer virus and busts back out.

* BodyguardingABadass: Riley, a Secret Service agent on the President's detail, is reassigned to bodyguard Gabriel, who is a former Delta Force operator. This doesn't always work smoothly - in Episode 1 she takes a bullet for him by bodychecking him out of the line of fire, just before he was going to shoot, and in Episode 2 [[spoiler: she tackles him out a window, just before Amelia blows up]]. Lillian implies that it's not so much as protecting Gabriel from physical threats, but from himself.

* TheHeart: Among the members of Cyber Command, she makes it a point to see Gabriel as a human, and as her partner; not a machine, or a tool of the US government.

* MysteriousPast: Agent Riley Neal has a sealed juvenile file. [[spoiler: It turns out she wasn't actually convicted of anything - only investigated and charged when she killed her abusive stepfather in self-defense after five years of abuse. The file was sealed by request - not because she was convicted, but to keep it off her record so it wouldn't affect her future.]] Ironically, because Gabriel's been forbidden to open said file, Gabriel takes every slightly illegal action she takes as part of a FormerTeenRebel phase, including auto theft, when she manages to break into a van using a screwdriver.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:Insists that he did the program in order to defend American lives from a potential WMD attack.]]

* {{Badass}}: Chip aside, Gabriel is wholly human. The rest of his skills and abilities are from being a former Delta Force operator.

* EvilCounterpart: Unlike Gabriel, she uses her chip for evil.

* BadassNormal: Like everyone else except Gabriel and Mei Chen, just an ordinary human with good training.
* BadassInANiceSuit: Seems like a good guy but a run-of-the-mill tech guy for the first few episodes. But when he goes on field duty for the first time in "Delta Force", he abundantly demonstrates he is no slouch as an agent.

* ManChild: For a former Delta Force operator he can be quite cockily silly at times. Among other things, reference him pranking Riley by faking a {{flatline}} by chipping an EKG machine in "Patient Zero".

* Badass: Chip aside, Gabriel is wholly human. The rest of his skills and abilities are from being a former Delta Force operator.

* EmpoweredBadassNormal: Chip aside, Gabriel is wholly human. The rest of his skills and abilities are from being a former Delta Force operator.
