Jack Bauer
“
Right now, terrorists are plotting to assassinate a presidential candidate. My wife and daughter have been targeted, and people that I work with may be involved in both. I'm federal agent Jack Bauer. Today is the longest day of my life.

Jack Bauer (born February 18, 1966) was a former federal agent of the Counter Terrorist Unit, who was responsible for saving numerous American citizens from potentially devastating terrorist attacks on more than one occasion. Before working for CTU, he was a US Special Forces and Delta Force Captain, LAPD SWAT specialist, and CIA Case Officer.
He took a leadership role in various covert and undercover missions, and served as both CTU Director and Director of Field Operations at CTU Los Angeles. His dedication to keeping U.S. citizens safe allowed him to thwart the terrorist acts throughout all 9 Days; but his dedication led him to make some deep personal sacrifices. Jack lost his wife in the final hour of Day 1, was forced to fake his death and live in hiding (at the cost of a stable relationship with his daughter) in the aftermath of Day 4, sacrificed his freedom for a period of nearly two years after Day 5, became temporarily infected and debilitated by the Prion variant during Day 7, and ultimately lost his freedom after Day 9. He showed his willingness to sacrifice his life on multiple occasions, but each time his sacrifice ultimately proved to be unnecessary.
