* DeathByOriginStory: It was their deaths that made Gibbs into the agent he is today.
* DramaticIrony: Had Gibbs not taken the career path that led to their deaths, ''he'' would have died instead.
* KillTheCutie: Both were murdered by a drug cartel leader while Gibbs was trying to hunt him down. He killed the NCIS agent driving their vehicle, causing the vehicle to wreck, and the crash slew both of them.
* LoveAtFirstSight: Gibbs spotted her in a store window, the two shared a sweet look, and then by happenstance met at the train station waiting for the same train, chatted it up, decided to ride the train together, and that was that.

[[folder:Ann Gibbs]]
->'''Played By''': Creator/ClaireCarey
* AbusiveParents: Ann and Jackson were constantly bickering and implied to have even been skipping out on each other when Gibbs was growing up, because Ann felt a sense of dissatisfaction with the way things turned out living in Charlottesville. Her alienation of affection also caused him to lose face because he was implied to be schmoozing up other women outside the marriage. She finally walked out on the family, and Jackson feels like he ultimately failed to make Ann happy and let her down. Gibbs also notes his dad hated that she left him.
* DeadPersonConversation: Gibbs meets her as one of the many deceased friends and loved ones who visit him in the diner in "Life Before His Eyes".
* DeceasedParentsAreTheBest: Zig-zagged; she was no award-winning wife, that's for sure, but putting chocolate syrup on her son's waffles shows how much she loved her son as a mother.
* DespairEventHorizon: Her cancer diagnosis made her give up all hope of happiness and prompted her to [[DyingAsYourself take her life while she had all her faculties intact.]]
* DrivenToSuicide: Killed herself by overdosing on pills to avoid a slow and painful death and making her family watch her slowly wither away.
* FieryRedhead: She is obviously the reason why Gibbs favors redheads- [[FreudianExcuse they remind him of his mother.]]
* KarmicDeath: After she split from Jackson, terminal cancer befell Ann. She took fate into her own hands and ended her life before she became sickly.
* LethalDiagnosis: Following her separation from her husband, perhaps as a result of all the pent up toxic emotions she had from the failed marriage, her body withered and developed a killer form of cancer.
* MyGreatestFailure: Her apparition in "Life Before His Eyes" tells Gibbs that she's aware she gave his father nothing but hell and helped to break apart the family because of it.
* NeverGotToSayGoodbye: Poor Gibbs was just a boy when he lost Ann, and because of the sudden way Ann decided to go out, he was deprived of a chance to tell her how much she meant to him.
* PosthumousCharacter: Ann has been gone for a very long time, but she plays a big role in "Life Before His Eyes" and has a few appearances in flashbacks.

[[folder:Anthony [=DiNozzo=] Sr.]]
->'''Played By''': Creator/RobertWagner
Tony's father, a failed entrepreneur who likes to live large and has always been a distant and disappointing father to Tony.
* BreakoutCharacter: He's popular enough to keep making appearances on the show even after his son has retired from NCIS (and moved to Paris).
* ChivalrousPervert: He turns the charm up to eleven whenever there's a woman present (and apparently has had a long string of lovers) but is always polite and never untoward anyone. Ziva and Abby like him and flirt right back, which is saying something.
* ConMan: Junior thought that Senior was one for most of his life. While it's true that Senior's been using his charms to mooch off of friends and acquaintances, Senior assures his son that he goes into his various ventures with pure intentions and tries to make an honest profit for himself and his investors but hasn't had the best of luck in the past several decades.
* CoolOldGuy: Much younger people hang onto his every word and he's always willing to impart advice (although it's usually something superficial that sounds deep) to them.
* DisappearedDad: He and Tony were never close to start out with but a decades-long rift formed after the death of Tony's mother as both retreated within themselves to deal with the grief. Senior didn't help matters by shipping Tony off to boarding schools and abandoning him in hotels during vacations.
* HiddenDepths: Once managed to knock out a weapon dealer's bodyguard with one punch to the face. In his later years wanted to find a purpose in his life, and started to aid a homeless shelter's inhabitants with his connections and apparent wealth, such as giving one guy a brand new pair of shoes.
* TheLoad: At least, this is what Junior's attitude towards him often is -- whenever Senior blows into town, he tends to drag Junior into all sorts of unwanted situations.
* LovableRogue: He's a wheeler dealer who oozes charm. Only Junior and Gibbs look at him with wary eyes and, even then, it's only to make sure Senior doesn't get into too much trouble.
* LikeFatherLikeSon: It's pretty obvious where [[HandsomeLech Junior]] [[ChivalrousPervert got his]] [[TheCasanova personality from]].
* MockMillionaire: He is a formerly wealthy businessman, who is trying to keep up the appearance that he is still wealthy. He's been broke several times already.
* ParentWithNewParamour: For a while, Senior almost netted himself a recently-widowed friend with a daughter of her own and planned to marry her- and neither child minded the idea of becoming stepsiblings. But then she dumped him and Tony Junior found dear old dad loafing around his house in his pajamas and playing his breakup mix.
* SilverFox: Has the knack for charming any woman he crosses.
* WackyParentSeriousChild: Shares this dynamic with Junior. Given how much of a goofball Junior can be, that's saying something.

Bishop's husband. He works as an attorney for the National Security Agency. He also does the near-impossible by becoming actual friends with Gibbs, to the point where they have a biweekly racquetball match and chat on the phone almost daily.
* {{Adorkable}}: Abby outright calls him "adorable". Then there's his [[SexySpectacles glasses]] and his school girl-like gushing over Gibbs and the team. He later seems similarly awestruck at Ellie's efficiency.
* DerailingLoveInterests: Starts out as an adoring, loving, supporting husband to Ellie and clearly becomes even more enamored of her after seeing her in action in "Grounded". But within a year, after some smaller disagreements about his inability to share information about his job with Bishop, he admits that he's been having an affair with a coworker.
* DisposableWoman: A non-lethal version. Goes from loving husband to cheating SOB so fast one wonders if this was the writers' plan all along to get Ellie started on having the same tragic love life nearly everyone else does.
* HappilyMarried: He and Bishop were very much in love, but their jobs caused some tension. When they both worked at NSA, they could freely talk about their days but when Bishop moved to [=NCIS=], Jake became legally prohibited from divulging anything about his work to his own wife so all they could talk about are the murders Bishop investigates. With this, the marriage became increasingly strained, with his workplace affair putting the final nail in the coffin, and they are now divorced.
* HelloAttorney: He's played by Creator/JamieBamber, so natch.

He did manage to help [=NCIS=] from afar by getting Bishop and Tony a [=NSA=] satellite feed when Gibbs and [=McGee=] were shot down in Russia.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: He was on good terms with Gibbs' Team, but all friendliness towards him went out the window once the affair came to light.

She works for the Department of Defense and helps Team Gibbs during their interagency cases from time to time. In Season 15, she gives birth to [[UntoUsASonAndDaughterAreBorn Johnny and Morgan [=McGee=]]].
* BewareTheNiceOnes: She's a really sweet person, but you don't want to be on her bad side.
* BrainyBrunette: She's the senior intelligence analyst at the DOD.
* DisabledLoveInterest: She and [=McGee=] began dating before the bombing that paralyzed Delilah from the waist down, and a main factor in their continuing relationship was both of them coming to terms with what had happened. They marry at the end of Season 14.
* DisabledSnarker: Delilah can get pretty snarky in certain situations. For example, when she and Abby call Tim letting them know that the twins are on their way and he needs to meet them at the hospital:
--> '''[=McGee=]:''' How did this happen? I mean, you're not due for another three weeks.\\
'''Delilah:''' Well, apparently, the babies had other plans, darling.
* HandicappedBadass: After getting caught in a bomb blast in "Kill Chain", she is confined to a wheelchair while slowly recovering from her injuries. Nonetheless, that doesn't stop her from wanting to try skydiving. Or even going undercover.

[[/folder]]
->'''Shannon is Played By''': Creator/AvivaFarber and Creator/DarbyStanchfield
->'''Kelly is Played By''': Creator/MaryMatilynMouser, Creator/BrennaRadding and Creator/SamSchuder
* DeathByOriginStory: It was their deaths that made Gibbs into the agent he is today.
* DramaticIrony: Had Gibbs not taken the career path that led to their deaths, ''he'' would have died instead.
* KillTheCutie: Both were murdered by a drug cartel leader while Gibbs was trying to hunt him down. He killed the NCIS agent driving their vehicle, causing the vehicle to wreck, and the crash slew both of them.
* LoveAtFirstSight: Gibbs spotted her in a store window, the two shared a sweet look, and then by happenstance met at the train station waiting for the same train, chatted it up, decided to ride the train together, and that was that.
* {{Posthumous Character}}s: They still show up much in the same way Gibbs internalizes Mike Franks.
* SheKnowsTooMuch: Shannon wanted to testify against Pedro Hernandez and his drug cartel. This got her and Kelly assassinated.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: Shannon is the originator of Gibbs's rules to live by as an agent, having originally started them for herself in a more lighthearted manner. For instance, "Never date a lumberjack" makes more sense coming from her than a male. Gibbs then incorporated them for himself.

[[folder:Jackson Gibbs]]
->'''Played By''': Creator/RalphWaite
* ActorExistenceFailure: Ralph Waite passed away in February 2014. The season 11 finale became an episode in his honour, with his [[TheCharacterDiedWithHim character dying]] after suffering from a stroke.
* CoolOldGuy: Though technically, he isn't a grandfather anymore, he's still old and badass.
* DadTheVeteran: He served in WWII as a fighter pilot.
* DeathGlare: Tony described him as "the only one who could do the "Gibbs Stare" ''at'' Gibbs."
* LikeFatherLikeSon: When Paloma Reynosa comes to kill him in "The Spider and the Fly".
-->'''Reynosa:''' But we have so much to talk about.
-->'''Jackson Gibbs:''' From what I hear, you didn't come to talk. ''(pulls his shotgun)''
-->'''Reynosa:''' You are just like your son.
-->'''Jackson Gibbs:''' No, ma'am. He's just like me.
* ParentWithNewParamour: The root cause of Gibbs' estrangement with his father was that his father showed up to the funeral of Shannon and Kelly with a date (which ultimately didn't work out).
%%* RetiredBadass
* WellDoneDadGuy: Jethro blamed him for losing his mother. Their relationship has been slowly healing.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Ann Gibbs]]
->'''Played By''': Creator/ClaireCarey
* AbusiveParents: Ann and Jackson were constantly bickering and implied to have even been skipping out on each other when Gibbs was growing up, because Ann felt a sense of dissatisfaction with the way things turned out living in Charlottesville. Her alienation of affection also caused him to lose face because he was implied to be schmoozing up other women outside the marriage. She finally walked out on the family, and Jackson feels like he ultimately failed to make Ann happy and let her down. Gibbs also notes his dad hated that she left him.
* DeadPersonConversation: Gibbs meets her as one of the many deceased friends and loved ones who visit him in the diner in "Life Before His Eyes".
* DeceasedParentsAreTheBest: Zig-zagged; she was no award-winning wife, that's for sure, but putting chocolate syrup on her son's waffles shows how much she loved her son as a mother.
* DespairEventHorizon: Her cancer diagnosis made her give up all hope of happiness and prompted her to [[DyingAsYourself take her life while she had all her faculties intact.]]
* DrivenToSuicide: Killed herself by overdosing on pills to avoid a slow and painful death and making her family watch her slowly wither away.
* FieryRedhead: She is obviously the reason why Gibbs favors redheads- [[FreudianExcuse they remind him of his mother.]]
* KarmicDeath: After she split from Jackson, terminal cancer befell Ann. She took fate into her own hands and ended her life before she became sickly.
* LethalDiagnosis: Following her separation from her husband, perhaps as a result of all the pent up toxic emotions she had from the failed marriage, her body withered and developed a killer form of cancer.
* MyGreatestFailure: Her apparition in "Life Before His Eyes" tells Gibbs that she's aware she gave his father nothing but hell and helped to break apart the family because of it.
* NeverGotToSayGoodbye: Poor Gibbs was just a boy when he lost Ann, and because of the sudden way Ann decided to go out, he was deprived of a chance to tell her how much she meant to him.
* PosthumousCharacter: Ann has been gone for a very long time, but she plays a big role in "Life Before His Eyes" and has a few appearances in flashbacks.
* YourDaysAreNumbered: She was diagnosed with a terminal cancer.

[[folder:Anthony [=DiNozzo=] Sr.]]
->'''Played By''': Creator/RobertWagner
Tony's father, a failed entrepreneur who likes to live large and has always been a distant and disappointing father to Tony.
* BreakoutCharacter: He's popular enough to keep making appearances on the show even after his son has retired from NCIS (and moved to Paris).
* ChivalrousPervert: He turns the charm up to eleven whenever there's a woman present (and apparently has had a long string of lovers) but is always polite and never untoward anyone. Ziva and Abby like him and flirt right back, which is saying something.
* ConMan: Junior thought that Senior was one for most of his life. While it's true that Senior's been using his charms to mooch off of friends and acquaintances, Senior assures his son that he goes into his various ventures with pure intentions and tries to make an honest profit for himself and his investors but hasn't had the best of luck in the past several decades.
* CoolOldGuy: Much younger people hang onto his every word and he's always willing to impart advice (although it's usually something superficial that sounds deep) to them.
* DisappearedDad: He and Tony were never close to start out with but a decades-long rift formed after the death of Tony's mother as both retreated within themselves to deal with the grief. Senior didn't help matters by shipping Tony off to boarding schools and abandoning him in hotels during vacations.
* HiddenDepths: Once managed to knock out a weapon dealer's bodyguard with one punch to the face. In his later years wanted to find a purpose in his life, and started to aid a homeless shelter's inhabitants with his connections and apparent wealth, such as giving one guy a brand new pair of shoes.
* TheLoad: At least, this is what Junior's attitude towards him often is -- whenever Senior blows into town, he tends to drag Junior into all sorts of unwanted situations.
* LovableRogue: He's a wheeler dealer who oozes charm. Only Junior and Gibbs look at him with wary eyes and, even then, it's only to make sure Senior doesn't get into too much trouble.
* LikeFatherLikeSon: It's pretty obvious where [[HandsomeLech Junior]] [[ChivalrousPervert got his]] [[TheCasanova personality from]].
* MockMillionaire: He is a formerly wealthy businessman, who is trying to keep up the appearance that he is still wealthy. He's been broke several times already.
* ParentWithNewParamour: For a while, Senior almost netted himself a recently-widowed friend with a daughter of her own and planned to marry her- and neither child minded the idea of becoming stepsiblings. But then she dumped him and Tony Junior found dear old dad loafing around his house in his pajamas and playing his breakup mix.
* SilverFox: Has the knack for charming any woman he crosses.
* WackyParentSeriousChild: Shares this dynamic with Junior. Given how much of a goofball Junior can be, that's saying something.

[[folder:Jake Malloy]]
->'''Played By''': Creator/JamieBamber
Bishop's husband. He works as an attorney for the National Security Agency. He also does the near-impossible by becoming actual friends with Gibbs, to the point where they have a biweekly racquetball match and chat on the phone almost daily.
* {{Adorkable}}: Abby outright calls him "adorable". Then there's his [[SexySpectacles glasses]] and his school girl-like gushing over Gibbs and the team. He later seems similarly awestruck at Ellie's efficiency.
* DerailingLoveInterests: Starts out as an adoring, loving, supporting husband to Ellie and clearly becomes even more enamored of her after seeing her in action in "Grounded". But within a year, after some smaller disagreements about his inability to share information about his job with Bishop, he admits that he's been having an affair with a coworker.
* DisposableWoman: A non-lethal version. Goes from loving husband to cheating SOB so fast one wonders if this was the writers' plan all along to get Ellie started on having the same tragic love life nearly everyone else does.
* HappilyMarried: He and Bishop were very much in love, but their jobs caused some tension. When they both worked at NSA, they could freely talk about their days but when Bishop moved to [=NCIS=], Jake became legally prohibited from divulging anything about his work to his own wife so all they could talk about are the murders Bishop investigates. With this, the marriage became increasingly strained, with his workplace affair putting the final nail in the coffin, and they are now divorced.
* HelloAttorney: He's played by Creator/JamieBamber, so natch.
%%* {{Megane}}
* {{Retcon}}: Bishop originally said that she and Jake knew each other in college, but Jake tells a story where they first met at the NSA.
* TheUnseen: He spent a season and a half only being mentioned in passing or unheard on the other end of phone calls with Bishop before he made an appearance on the show. He did manage to help [=NCIS=] from afar by getting Bishop and Tony a [=NSA=] satellite feed when Gibbs and [=McGee=] were shot down in Russia.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: He was on good terms with Gibbs' Team, but all friendliness towards him went out the window once the affair came to light.
* YourCheatingHeart: Has an affair with a coworker at the NSA after Bishop joins NCIS. Bishop does not take it well, and all her teammates take her side in the matter.

[[folder: Delilah Fielding]]
->'''Played By''': Creator/MargoHarshman
[=McGee=]'s LoveInterest starting from late season 10 to the present; the two of them get married at the end of Season 14. She works for the Department of Defense and helps Team Gibbs during their interagency cases from time to time. In Season 15, she gives birth to [[UntoUsASonAndDaughterAreBorn Johnny and Morgan [=McGee=]]].
* BewareTheNiceOnes: She's a really sweet person, but you don't want to be on her bad side.
* BrainyBrunette: She's the senior intelligence analyst at the DOD.
* DisabledLoveInterest: She and [=McGee=] began dating before the bombing that paralyzed Delilah from the waist down, and a main factor in their continuing relationship was both of them coming to terms with what had happened. They marry at the end of Season 14.
* DisabledSnarker: Delilah can get pretty snarky in certain situations. For example, when she and Abby call Tim letting them know that the twins are on their way and he needs to meet them at the hospital:
--> '''[=McGee=]:''' How did this happen? I mean, you're not due for another three weeks.\\
'''Delilah:''' Well, apparently, the babies had other plans, darling.
* HandicappedBadass: After getting caught in a bomb blast in "Kill Chain", she is confined to a wheelchair while slowly recovering from her injuries. Nonetheless, that doesn't stop her from wanting to try skydiving. Or even going undercover.
* HappilyMarried: To [=McGee=] as of the end of Season 14.
* NiceGirl: The first for [=McGee=]. One of his first love interests tried to kill him.
