"Me and her against the world. We were willing to sacrifice our lives, our families. You know. Whatever it took."
Played By: Derek Luke

A former black militant who now works as an agent for the Jennings. Passionate and driven, he is in love with Elizabeth and previously had an affair with her. The KGB frames him for the murder of Agent Chris Amador, and he is subsequently killed in a shoot-out with police.

  • Heroic Sacrifice: He takes the fall for Amador's murder and chooses Suicide by Cop. 'Heroic' is probably not the best term however.
  • Scary Black Man: He's friendly enough, but he's also ruthless enough to work with the KGB.
  • Suicide by Cop: He wanders toward cops with the full intention to getting gunned down, since he doesn't want jail or Moscow and Elizabeth won't run away with him.
  • Undying Loyalty: To Elizabeth and 'the cause'.

    Lucia 

Lucia

A young woman who's an agent for the Sandinista (a Nicaraguan communist political party). Thanks to her affair with a congressional aide, she becomes valuable to the Centre.

  • Kill the Ones You Love: She is forced to cover her tracks by killing the Congressional Aide (Carl) that she's been involved with. Considering that she has come to care about him, it's very difficult for her to do it.
  • Too Dumb to Live: Despite being told that Larrick is off-limits, Lucia breaks into his house and tries to kill him, and fails so badly at said attempt that she ends up getting shot with her own dartgun. Elizabeth shows up and makes a deal to try and bail Lucia out... and Lucia makes another attempt to kill Larrick. This time, Elizabeth lets Larrick kill her.
  • Wide-Eyed Idealist: Lucia's still new to the spy game, and still sincerely believes that the Revolution will be glamorous.
