5	!!Danny [=McNamara=] (portrayed by Creator/MattBarr)
6	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/danny_mcnamara_5.png]]
7	A former FBI agent turned antiquities expert who is once again called back to action to find Cleopatra before Farouk finds it first.
8	----
9	* BadassBookworm: He's a ridiculously well-educated and well-read lawyer who's well-versed in arts and antiquities but he prefers using his knowledge to be a rough-and-tumble investigator and adventurer.
10	* BerserkButton: It turns out he has one when criminals insist they aren’t rats... [[spoiler: because he turned his father in to stop a murder, and his dad’s refusal to testify himself is why he’s still in jail.]]
11	* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Danny can't seem to help from doing the right thing. Jay describes him as someone who "has to save beautiful, broken things."
12	* IAmNotMyFather: Danny deliberately structured his life to make it nothing like that of his father Patrick, [[spoiler:a corrupt cop who went to jail for an art heist]].
13	* IDidWhatIHadToDo: Turns out the reason why Reese became the closest thing he has to a father figure instead of his actual dad is because [[spoiler: Danny turned in his father when his dad was about to kill someone to cover up a theft. Dad eventually agreed he made the right decision.]]
14	* InformedFlaw: He dresses quite nicely but Lexi considers his day-to-day style to be a little scruffy.
15	* TheParagon
16	* PopCulturedBadass: In comparison to Lexi, he can’t help but gleefully spout quotes and references whenever they would apply.

22	A master thief & con-woman who teams up with Danny to find Cleopatra, and also to avenge her father's death at the hands of Farouk.
23	----
24	* ActionGirl
25	* BigEater: She's constantly eating and other characters, particularly Chuck, complain about how she clears out their refrigerators.
26	* ClassyCatBurglar: She's a high-end thief who uses her looks and charms to steal from extremely wealthy people while dressed to the nines.
27	* DeadpanSnarker: As many don’t trust her, she often resorts to this.
28	* TheDeterminator: No matter how many times she’s knocked down, she will just keep going.
29	* InTheBlood: Turns out her mother was an ActionGirl as well... [[spoiler: and a member of the Brotherhood and Fabi’s partner.]]
30	* LoveableRogue: But of course!
31	* PopCulturalOsmosisFailure: Completely misses most of Danny’s references. Even when visiting Casablanca, she has to look up clips of the film to get some of them.
32	* SecretLegacy: Eventually, Danny figures out from an inscription in the Brotherhood’s crypt that Lexi descends from someone important to the plot: [[spoiler: Cleopatra and Antony.]]
33	* WalkingArmory: Carries plenty of weapons and lock picks on her.
34	* YouKilledMyFather: Farouk blew him up with a bomb right after Danny had set him up in Witness Protection. Lexi’s response to finding out that Farouk is still alive is to pursue him for free with Danny.

42	An Interpol agent assigned to Farouk's case.
43	----
44	* ActionGirl
45	* BewareTheNiceOnes: She’s usually pretty polite, but there’s a reason she’s an agent.
46	* InspectorJavert: A mild version - she’s arrested most of the heroes at various times while rigidly ahdering to proper procedure and the law. She lightens up, though.
47	* ProperlyParanoid: She’s not too keen with working with some of the characters, considering that they all eventually end up doing less-than-legal things she’s correct.
48	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Technically neither Danny nor Lexi are law enforcement so she fills the role.
49	* RogueAgent: When she realizes Fabi is hiding things, and that the local police isn’t telling her everything.
50	* TheStoic: To the point Lexi describes her as a robotic terminator.
51	* TeethClenchedTeamwork: A comedic example when she partners up with Lexi to infiltrate Italian Police Headquarters, and is clearly irritated and uncomfortable with Lexi’s exuberance.

57	An arms dealer with ties to Farouk who reluctantly assists Danny and Lexi.
58	----
59	* AccentRelapse: Played with, in that Shaw loves to maintain his FakeBrit accent with just about everyone, but often drops it around Danny and Lexi.

74	----
75	* TheChessmaster: [[spoiler: How he fits into the BigBadEnsemble - He gave Rasheed Hegazi his own name to use as a nom de guerre and advised him how to adjust his tactics and strategies while acting as his financier. This allowed Hegazi to become a much greater threat targeting Hardwick/Farouk’s father Jay Reece, while keeping Hardwick/Farouk out of the firing line of his own proxy war.]]
76	* CooperationGambit: He recognizes Danny as former FBI, but decides to approach him anyways.
77	* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Turns out that his overall objective is revenge on the man who abandoned his mother to a low death from “mummy cancer.” [[spoiler: Yes, Jay didn’t intend to abandon them, but it’s all academic now.]]

112	----
113	* DarkIsNotEvil: Dresses in dark clothes, in some ways still considered a good guy.
114	* GracefulLoser: He wasn’t happy with Lexi and Danny forcing his hand, but he allies with them pretty quickly.
115	* GoodIsNotNice: Played with, he has good intentions but his methods are definitely questionable as he straight-up murders a traitor at one point.

118	* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler:He is killed trying to help Danny and Lexi]].

133	* FromNobodyToNightmare: He used to be the definition of victim, until he became radicalized.
134	* TheHeavy: [[spoiler: How he fits into the BigBadEnsemble - he was recruited by the real Farouk to run his operations more directly against Jay Reece and to assume his name in exchange for greater financing of his terrorism. The real Farouk also implies this one still operated somewhat autonomously, more as a partner than a henchman.]]
135	* NeverFoundTheBody: At one point everyone thought the Egyptians killed him, which leads to NotQuiteDead or him potentially FakingTheDead.
