16	The Sentox conspiracy was about a group of Americans who wanted to manipulate Russian separatists. This page details the American side of the conspiracy. For the manipulated separatists themselves, see [[Characters/TwentyFourRussianSeparatistMovement this page]].

22	* ArcVillain: From seasons 5 to 8.
23	* BigBadEnsemble: Between Charles Logan, the Bauers, and Alan Wilson.
24	* GoneHorriblyWrong: The entire plans backfires. And the actions taken to uncover it backfired even worse.
25	* HeKnowsTooMuch: David Palmer was killed because of this.
26	* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: While some of them (iLogan) truly believe (at least in their heads) in what they are doing, others are just out for money and power.
27	* UnderestimatingBadassery: Because giving 20 canisters of a deadly nervous gas to a group of crazy Russians separatists was a brilliant plan to begin with. And underestimating Jack Bauer.
28	* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: They do this all the time.

47	->''"What I did was in the interests for the destiny of this country, and I'm not talking about the version you read on the op-ed pages of the New York Times, I'm talking about the politics of survival. The way the world really works."''
48
49	A former Director of Field Operations of CTU Los Angeles and Vice President of Research and Development at Omicron International.
50
51	He was hired by Graem Bauer and President Charles Logan and worked with them and Alan Wilson to operate the sale of Sentox nerve gas to Vladimir Bierko and his Russian separatists during Day 5. He was killed by Jack Bauer for his part in the deaths of David Palmer, Michelle Dessler, and the apparent death of Tony Almeida at the end of that day.
52	!!!Tropes
53	* ArchEnemy: Despite being a one season villain, he is a runner up behind Nina, Logan, and Cheng, due to his personal connection to Jack and his actions.
54	* BestServedCold: Jack has plenty of opportunity to kill him, but waits until Bierko is dead before doing so.
55	* BrokenPedestal: Was Jack's mentor, but who got fired when Jack learned he was taking bribes. And then comes the sentox's conspiracy...
56	* CharacterDeath: Jack coldly executes him after Bierko is defeated.
57	* ClimaxBoss: With Bierko. While Bierko provides the climatic fight, it is Henderson's final stand off with Jack is the emotional climax of Day 5.
58	%%* TheCynic.
59	* ColdSniper: He specialized in sniping when he was in the military.
60	%%* DeadpanSnarker
61	* DiesWideOpen: The last shot of Henderson has his eyes still open, staring lifelessly upward.
62	* TheDragon: For Charles Logan. Most of the conflict on Day 5 is against him.
63	* DragonInChief: That being said, he is the biggest challenge for Jack during Day 5, and has enough autonomy to make decisions for himself.
64	* EnemyMine: Eventually Henderson teams up with Jack to stop Bierko.
65	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Which is why Jack uses his wife as leverage. That being said, not even his wife's potential crippling is enough to convince him to spill his guts.
66	** He and his wife did seem to care for Kim when Jack was gone. And, in a very fucked up way, he does seem to have some remaining affection for Jack.
67	* EvilCounterpart: To Jack : both are ruthless, highly skilled and dedicated. He even has a friendship with a US president. Of all the villains in the show, he is probably the best one.
68	** His dynamic with Logan is a dark version of Jack's dynamic with Palmer. While David and Jack are true friends and allies, Logan and Henderson are not, and Henderson knows he needs to keep Logan blackmailed if he wants to survive.
69	%%* EvilMentor.
70	* FallenHero: He was once a well-regarded Director of Field Operations for CTU, and even recruited Jack. However, he lost his job due to corruption and ended up working with the Sentox Conspirators.
71	* FauxAffablyEvil: Henderson seems like a fun, genial guy with a sharp wit. It is very much fake and he's really a power-hungry, ruthless killer.
72	* FaceDeathWithDignity: He does not beg or try to surrender when Jack has him cornered.
73	* GracefulLoser: He calmly accepts his defeat and imminent death at Jack's hands with a good-natured "Good for you, Jack".
74	* TheHeavy: For season 5, alongside Vladimir Bierko. They are both taken out in the same place with 2-3 minutes of difference.
75	* HeroKiller: As Jack puts it, "You are responsible for the deaths of David Palmer, Tony Almeida, and Michelle Dessler."
76	* IHaveYourWife: Played straight with the informant's daughter. ''Inverted'' earlier on with his wife. Even after Jack shoots her in the leg, Henderson only apologizes to his wife and refuses to talk.
77	* ManipulativeBastard.
78	* OldSoldier: He's in his elder years, but frequently takes out much younger combat-trained men with little difficulty.
79	* ParentalSubstitute: There is a bit of this dinamic with Jack.
80	* VillainyDiscretionShot: His (possible) killing of an informant's young daughter and the EMT's trying to rescue her is never brought up.
81	* WellIntentionedExtremist: Like his co-conspirators, he justifies his actions as power politics and in the best interest of the country. Given the Sentox conspirators were trying to access oil in Central Asia, it's clear to Jack it was about his [[{{Hypocrite}} greed for power]].
82	* VillainExitStageLeft: All the time. He is a truly sneaky bastard.
83	* WorthyOpponent: Considers Jack to be one.
84	* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Averted since he knows he's an expendable underling like Cummings & Nathanson. He's well-aware of Logan's tendency to kill off his underlings, so he threatens to release the digital recording incriminating himself and Logan if the Sentox conspirators come after him. He also expects Jack to pull this one him (but Jack outwits him).

90	!!James Nathanson
91	->'''Played By:''' Geraint Wyn Davies
92
93	An ex-CIA officer and a mid-level member of the Sentox nerve gas conspiracy before and during Day 5. He sustained a direct partnership with terrorist leaders and helped provide them with a weapon of mass destruction.
94	!!!Tropes
95	* CharacterDeath: Nathanson is shot and killed by henchmen of Vladimir Bierko.
96	* HeKnowsTooMuch: The reason his death is ordered.
97	* ManipulativeBastard: He manipulated the Dawn Brigade for a while, playing Bierko, Beresch and Erwich. Eventually, however, Bierko found out and had Nathanson killed.
98	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: When he realizes that Bierko would want him dead, Nathanson tries to flee.
99	* VillainsDyingGrace: Mortally wounded, Nathanson gives Jack a valuable computer chip and hints at the larger conspiracy.
100	* WellIntentionedExtremist: So he claims to Jack.
101	-->'''Jack:''' You're never going to be able to justify killing David Palmer.
102	-->'''Nathanson:''' That was an unfortunate necessity. We admired Palmer, but we had other priorities. This country needs an excuse to secure its oil interests in Asia; a reason that Russia and the rest of the world can get behind.
103	-->'''Jack:''' I've heard your reasoning from Walt Cummings. It's still treason.
104	-->'''Nathanson:''' No. It's a realpolitik.

112	!!Conrad Haas
113	->'''Played By:''' Creator/JeffKober
114
115	An experienced assassin, hired by the Sentox conspirators to take out former President David Palmer. Haas was also assigned to take out Michelle Dessler, Tony Almeida, and Chloe O'Brian, in order to frame Jack Bauer for the murders.
116	!!!Tropes
117	* ColdSniper: How he takes out David Palmer.
118	* HeroKiller: Haas kills David Palmer and Michelle Dessler, on Henderson's orders.
119	* ItsPersonal: The second Jack learns that he was the one who personally assassinated David Palmer, he immediately forgoes his promise to get him any sort of medical aid and shoots him point blank.
120	* ProfessionalKiller: He's an assassin, after all.
121	* SmallRoleBigImpact: Despite appearing in only one episode, his assassination of David Palmer is a huge event for the show.
