History Characters / TwentyFourStarkwood

* NotSoDifferent: He tries to claim he's this with Jack, but Jack is having none of it. Jack realizes he broke the law and nobly accepts blame, while Hodges is furious with his own arrest.

* TemptingFate: His FamousLastWords are that he doesn't intend to be "Mr. Tippett" -- the identity he's given in exchange for testifying against Alan Wilson and his associates -- forever. Thanks to the bomb planted in his car, he only ends up being Mr. Tippett for another 45 seconds before being blown to kingdom come.

* AntiVillain.

* Foil: To Alan Wilson. He is on it because he believes all he is doing is in the best interests of the country. Wilson is on it for profit and power.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: They brought Jon Bought to the fold and did not make him the season's main villain. Moreso considering he is replaced by a mostly faceless and underdeveloped group of people.

* AlasPoorVillain: In his last moments, Hodges merely asks a soldier if his Starkwood troops were professional in the field. The soldiers replies that they were, and Hodges smiles proudly.

* BigBad: Of Day 7.
