Antagonist: "The Cabal"
Barrett’s guys, Drake’s people, “A Kabal operating within the US completely unknown to the intelligence community”Colonel Russel (Michael Jacques)

An active duty marine who was moonlighting for Barrett's group and sent by them to steal the Bible book-code from Michael Westen and Jesse. He followed their cell-phone signal and was enticed into a trap and shocked with a defibrillator then hog-tied until someone called for him. Then he was released with a photocopy of a page from the Bible to take directly to Barrett.

Gregory Hart (Michael Ironside)

A gun dealer who was supplying weapons for 'the Cabal' working only for a '16 digit swiss bank account and an anonymous email address.' He was hidden deep in a South American jungle but did his banking using a sattelite phone which Michael Westen spotted in a thorough purusal of documents in 'the Organization's file.' By the time Vaugh and M arrived to interrogate him, a weaponized drone was already on its way to take him out. He and his compound, along with it's 'tame' monkeys, was blown up. M spotted some information on his desk which indicated that he knew that he was under investigation by some government agency before his death.

Gustavo (Imposter) (Javier Morga)

Probably a 'worker bee' but sent to interrogate and kill MW none-the-less. He had killed the real Gustavo and taken his place in order to find out from MW what he was looking into the failed bank heist for. When M discovered his deception he pulled a knife and in the ensuing fight fell backwards over the railing of the parking garage.

Jeremiah Kassar (Uncredited)

An arm's supplier/operative for the Cabal who was identified by Jesse Porter as someone he could possibly use as a contact. Not knowing his name, Jesse called him 'Cobra.' He set up a meeting with Jesse but never appeared, which set Jesse to try and find him. Apparently, someone in the Cabal suspected he had been contacted by Jesse and sent a 'cleaner' after him named Kendra. She fought with him receiving scratches on her arm before she strangled him and put his body in the wheel-well of a plane bound for the Bahamas. His body dropped into the ocean and was washed ashore as a John Doe. Jesse however, was able to correlate his autopsy findings with his accent and voice as well as fingerprints, post office box and street address. Kendra, however sanitized his apartment then waited in the apartment next door to see who, if anyone, came calling. Kendra had a high-density computer disk using an antiquated software encoding behind the drywall in her house. It is unclear whether or not this belonged to Kassar originally.
- Under interrogation, Kendra, the 'cleaner' who killed him confessed that Kassar was one of four operatives who had been contracted to break into a bank safety deposit box but had failed. She had been sent to 'clean up' after their failure.

John Barrett (Robert Patrick)
-JohnBarrett.jpg)
CEO of Drake Technologies whose “business plan” was to enable and start wars and bloodshed around the world which his telecom, infrastructure, tech company could then rebuild. The government had no clue of his actions… yet; but Jesse Porter, a counter intelligence officer was doggedly looking into it for three years; and, another “organization” (headed by a guy called “management”) as well. He had a list of names and aliases of the Organization who was tracking them, which a disgruntled (sociopathic) agent of theirs, Simon, had made. Barrett didn’t have the code to decipher it, however, which was kept in a Bible in a bank safe-deposit box that he failed to break into once. M (and Jesse) beat him to it and set a trap to lure him to Miami to come and get it. He used a bundle of code which he already had to verify that the key in the Bible was correct; then, told M that the people who burned him and Simon all had names, jobs and lives and were everywhere. The information in the list now will enable them to take down that organization and Simon needed someone powerful enough to play that card if things went bad. Vaughn showed up to take both he and M down, and he thought that M had set him up. He took M, though mortally wounded by Jesse, into his SUV and crashed through the fighting to interrogate him. Though bleeding profusely from his chest wound, M grabbed the steering wheel and flipped the car both killing Barrett and losing the Bible code book.

Kendra (Navi Rawat)

An assassin/'cleaner' who was sent by the cabal to kill one of their 'arms suppliers' (Jeremiah Kassar) who had been identified by Jesse Porter and was now going to be contacted by him. She strangled 'Cobra,' as Jesse had named him, but not before receiving scratches on her arms. Then she put him in the wheel-well of an airplane bound for the Bahamas. Meticulously she scrubbed down the airplane and hanger afterwards, but missed a spot of blood in the cowling for Michael Westen to find. Then, she also steam-cleaned and painted his apartment and moved in next door to see who/if anyone showed up. Unfortunately, for her, it was MW who showed up and discovered her secret... and the high-density computer disk she had hidden behind the drywall in her house. (48)
She is an accomplished operative and easily escaped at least two traps set for her by M and Sam. She climbs pipes and walls like a cat burglar and loves to disarm opponents like M with her ever ready, arrogant and flirty banter. Very innovatively, she surmised where M would be going to try and extract data from her computer disk and put up construction tape to unobtrusively re-route foot traffic through a single point which she could watch -- and found M. Even though she nearly was able to kill M with a Japanese Tanto knife at their drop point, M still was able to knock her out and put her in his trunk. (49)
She proved a highly skilled operative against interrogation and willing to smash her own head against metal to make her points. It took Jesse playing an easily dominatable stooge to get her to eventually attempt to bribe him into letting her go. Once she had given them her account numbers, they faked that it had been zeroed out by the people who had hired her and she decided to tell all in order to extract revenge. She claimed that she had been hired as a 'cleaner' to kill four operatives who had failed in their attempt to break into a safe deposit box 'on the fourth of last month.' Sam turned her over to the FBI who had several warrants on her. (50)

Mark Sweeny (Philip J. Martin)

A former merc who worked security for Drake’s Miami office and who accompanied John Barrett when he met with MW. He was first on the scene of Barrett’s rollover and saw MW dying and the metal case with the NOC (Non-official cover) list and book code. He took the crime of opportunity and left with the case, the only one of Drake employees who did not go back to work. He took the list and book first to a college student who couldn’t break the code; but who did refer him to a 10 year, security-cleared, algorithmic engineer at SXG Justin Walsh. Unfortunately, for Sweeney, Walsh knew what he was decoding and decided to kill for it. MW and Jesse found his body on the floor of Walsh’s house.

Mason Gilroy (Chris Vance)

A grade-A psychopath wet-work guy who met M when cleaning up after Strickler’s debacle with Fiona and M. He killed six police officials at a South American Soccer Stadium in ’98. Then, he fire-bombed the room of a British nuclear scientist, Dr. Randolph Quilling, in ’99 killing him in his Hotel room. He used both of those “calling cards” in a sort of game to make M guess his name and to get to know M better before meeting. He is obviously well connected and very skilled. Somehow, either Simon or someone who wanted him out of “prison” paid $10 million to break him out – and specifically, somehow involve MW. In fact, he seemed obsessed with MW.
- He admitted to being an associate of Tom Strickler, and to have killed CIA agent Diego Garza after MW had shot Strickler. (38,39, )
- He broke Simon out of the transport plane he was on; but, once free Simon shot him, chained him to his car and strapped a bomb onto him. (41)

Tom Strickler (Ben Shenkman)
-Strickler.jpg)
He calls himself an “agent” for spies while he basically capitalizes on using their talents which he can turn for monetary gain. Telling MW that his “enemies have enemies which are business opportunities,” he warned of a Ukrainian coming to kill him. M refused to become a mercenary for him and take the money; so, he said he would use his contacts to get Ms old job back. When M took photos of the sale of some stolen armament, he made good on his promise by having “Washington” call Diego Garza to say they would review Ms file.

Carla (Tricia Helfer)

An egotistical, self-centered bitch with a “smoky voice and lots of attitude” who worked for some covert network of black-ops people within the US and elsewhere which gave them great power. It turned out that she had been “recruited” into her organization the same way MW had: by being burned. Arrogant enough to begin thinking the power she wielded was really because of her own greatness she thought nothing about killing, intimidation, blackmailing or destroying anything and everything at any time. She began doing her own personal black-ops from within her black-ops organization. Killing someone’s family to get them to join her organization meant nothing to her and she did it many times. One operative, Victor, found out what she had done and began compiling documentation about her actions then systematically targeted her and her employees. When her schemes landed on MW she began losing control to the point that the organization she worked for was becoming aware and a man known only as “Management” was arriving to hold her accountable. Before she could carry out her intended murder of MW, Fiona put a bullet in her. (13-28)
-- Drinks Qshr (Yemenese coffee) which she makes herself for fear of poisoning.
-- Speaks Arabic with a Kurdish accent.
-- Used an agricultural company cover in the Middle East and in Miami.

Agent # RB609.10.96852. He was traced to the US Embassy in Brussels Belgium, a part of the 'organization' (as usual under threat of family harm). Max revealed that the CIA knew he had bombed the embassy in Albania then went underground by bleaching his hair and loosing his glasses. Michael Westen found and captured him breaking into the Canadian Security Intelligence Service's mainfraim computer in Ottowa. Oaks tried to hold to his cover ID, Tim Sayers, and didn't 'choose the easy way' over the 'way that involves an ambulance.' He was interrogated by Max and Raines but wouldn't talk, so Michael had to take over and point out that 'if you want to protect your family… I'm your best bet!' Michael told him that he was merely 'member number 31 in a criminal conspiracy' (out of 46 on the NOC list).

He was last found in a highly secret and secure compound in Caracas Venezuela described to Michael Westen by Hector Oaks in return for protecting his family. His compound was too secure to breech and he never went anywhere that 'wasn't as secure as his compound.' An attempt at extracting him when he went traveling failed so in 'plan B' Michael and Max chased him back inside his compound. He ran to a 'safe room,' then when Michael was able to blow a hole in the wall, he shot himself in the head to avoid capture.

Management (John Mahoney)

The, or one of the, top leader(s) in a world-wide consortium of black-ops individuals who “recruit” “assets” with noticeable “intelligence” capabilities by “burning,” blackmailing or otherwise manipulating them into performing compartmentalized illicit activities – supposedly for a “higher purpose” but just as often for increased power or money. He is definitely high enough in the secret organization that HIS title is “management” (i.e. not the organization he works for). Ostensibly he did not know about the “true” activities of Carla, and did believe that Victor was also rogue (even for his organization). He told M that he was: “wonderfully effective, terrifically resourceful, the best I’ve ever seen, but doesn’t seem happy.” Completely ignoring that fact that it was his organization which had put MW in danger in the first place, he threatened that M would be in mortal danger if his clandestine organization got out of Ms life. Thinking that he had M over a barrel, he offered to get out of his life if M so chose – and was surprised when M chose so to do. When one of the organizations secret prisoners, Simon Escher, escaped with the help of Gilroy, M was forced to call Management to bring him to Miami. M did, but told Management about Simon’s plan then rescued him yet again when Simon outfoxed the organization and captured the guy. M told M that “I may seem like a nice guy, but I assure you I am not.” Also, that “you’re my insurance. If this goes wrong I wouldn’t want to be you or anyone who knows you.” Finally after being rescued by him: “… and you have a big future.” Vaughn told Michael that Management was safe at an undisclosed location and has not been heard of since (even in Michael's 'complete' takedown of the organization with the help of the CIA.)

Simon Escher (Garret Dillahunt)

A spy who, like MW and Victor, was recruited into the “Organization”; but who, also like them, got suspicious and began keeping a list of all the organizations members, both code names and real names. He went off the deep end and became rogue – and proud of it! Vaughn, when he found out, tried to have him killed but failed. He coded his list into a book code using an old Bible and a list of numbers then hid the Bible in a high security safe deposit box. Before he was caught he hid all his personal papers, including some surveillance tapes of Vaughn’s duplicitousness, in a casket vault of an historic cemetery which was made air-tight with a seal of silicone and elemental sodium to ruin the contents if anyone broke in. He had arranged for a message and the second part of the coded message to get to John Barrett, CEO of Drake Technologies and leader of should he ever be caught – which he was. Gilroy was contacted and paid $20 million to help him escape, with the proviso that he involve MW – who he seemed obsessed with. Once he was free he turned on, shot and chained a bomb to Gilroy which exploded; but not before he had a chance to tell M who was coming for him. He did catch M in a con involving the bombing of a hotel to make him bring Management to Miami. He even captured Management whose rescue confirmed Ms future with Management’s Organization. He laughed at M that “you’re just like me now.” From prison he first told M where to obtain an audio tape of his conversation with Vaughn about how he was going to replace Simon with Michael Westen. Then he told M to take his Bible code-book to Barrett who would get rid of Vaughn and his ilk.

Vaughn (Robert Wisdom)

One of the senior people in the Organization who was responsible for keeping Simon Escher in a secret prison. He became MWs “Handler” after M had saved Management from Simon Escher, who had escaped from one of their prisons. He manipulated M into helping expose and capture the main gun supplier for 'the Organization' who had not only helped Simon escape but which was causing wars, crop burnings and assassinations around the world. He won Ms help by claiming M would be 'a partner' and would allow M to 'do it your way'; although, obviously intending otherwise. He acknowledged they had some 'rogue' people and 'psychopaths' but 'that is over now,' and also that he personally had nothing to do with M being burned. (45)
He chose Jesse Porter’s key card to give to M to obtain information. After M obtained Escher’s book-code Bible Vaughn prevented M from talking to Escher until FBI agent’s Harris and Lane rousted him about being put on the FBIs most wanted list. He lied directly to both Fiona and M that he had nothing to do with Ms being burned but Simon had an audio tape that proved Vaughn had targeted M directly to replace Simon who had begun “working against us.” He told M that Barrett’s organization was bigger than either M or Jesse and would “take care” of Jesse to “get him out of the wind.” Also that Barrett had been killing: civilians, spies and MY people. He found Jesse’s whereabouts for M and wanted to “take care of him” because he’s either with us or against us. Then he decided to dispense with M and Barrett at the same time by crashing into Ms meeting with guns a blaze. Amazingly, he had the temerity to come to Fiona’s new house and tell M that he was leaving Miami and he didn’t ever have to see him again “if he didn’t want to.” He left stating someone “new” would contact him after the “dust settled.” Fiona told him that if he ever showed up announced again, no one would ever see him. (53,54,55,56)
In order to obtain help from Marv, M had to go on record telling of his whole affiliation with the “organization” including Vaughn. Marv made a recording of it which was stolen by Brennen when he also took the thumb-drive and used to blackmail M into killing off the “organization” for profit. Vaughn was sent the recording and came after M with a vengeance. He captured and used Madeline as a shield. M, Jesse and Fiona kept him busy trying to kill them until Sam could convince Bill Cowley to send in some ‘real’ troops. He was spit on by Madeline and hay-maker’ed to the ground by Sam before being led away in handcuffs. (62)

Victor Stecker-Epps (Michael Shanks)

He first announced himself to M to be “the wrangler” sent by Carla to keep him from bucking so much after M had found Carla’s identity and had broken into her office. An angry, self-confident, arrogant man, he manipulated M through a job of stealing a high-powered sniper rifle for Carla to use in one of her compartmentalized black-op schemes. However, it turned out that he was quite a bit like M in that he had been “recruited” by Carla. He was C.I.A. stationed in Mexico with his family. Carla had secretly killed his family and then had Phillip Cowan burn him at the same time. He was more “enthusiastic” about Carla’s offer than MW had been; but, once he found out about Carla’s secret, he quietly began putting together documentation of her deeds and even obtained the private phone number of her boss: “Management.” Then, he decided to gut the entire organization by beginning to target some of Carla’s operatives, including MW, telling himself that “no one in this business is innocent.” M eventually tracked him down and captured him as: “the enemy of my enemy,” and eventually got Victor to join in the hunt to bring down Carla. He gave M the clearest explanation of the organization he had heard: there is no name of a person who burned us, it’s “just a name in a file, behind another name in another file. You know how these things start. Someone runs an operation off the books. It’s supposed to be a one-time thing but when it’s over there’s power to be had. It takes on a life of its own. It’s the organization, not some guy.” M asked: “Why me?” Victor explained: “It was no secret that you were good at your job. The machine wanted you, so it took you. Now we’re both part of it.” Victor was shot by Carla as he and M were attempting to flee in a boat; which, unknown to them, had been rigged with remote activated explosives. The person Carla called “Management” was coming in a helicopter at that moment and she frantically begged M to give her Victor’s documentation and join her in her explanatory lie to her bosses OR she would blow both he and Victor up. Fiona took Carla down with a sniper rifle and Victor, mortally wounded and not wanting to be captured, begged M to “end him” so he could continue the cause. M reluctantly complied having soul-searched many times about just how far he would go and what he would do to win his freedom.

Bad guys, not in any organization, but it takes more than one show to get rid of 'em.Carmelo Dante (Todd Stashwick)

Second biggest Heroin dealer in Miami (according to Barry) who supplied M with the name and location of the first biggest dealer - just happening to be holding Sam at the time. M had to threaten to blow up Carmelo's nightclub in order to get close enough to talk to him. M did convince him through blackmail that it was in his best interest to locate his biggest competitor and let M take him out (obviously rescuing Sam at the same time). He parted with M fairly amicably except stating that if he ever saw him again he would kill him.
Later, M used him for the same thing. M stole a heroin shipment from Carmelo and had Sam allow himself to be captured in order to direct Carmelo toward finding a group of Serbians who had actually just purchased a stolen Predator missle. Carmelo did find the Serbians and the missle and was eventually talked into taking credit for returning the missle instead of killing Sam and M as he had said he would. Again his parting shot to M was: 'seriously, if I see you again I'll kill you.' Current location: At large.

Jacob Starky (Charlie Weber)
A supposed 'look-alike' for Michael Westen who went to the trouble to learn Michaels posture and gait in order to frame him for murder. He posed as Michael to purchase a cell phone which was used to make the 'confirmation call' outside Max's office after the murder.

Larry Sizemore (Tim Matheson)

An operative who worked with MW in the Balkan’s in ’91, ’92 during a “crazy time” which made him seem “somewhat sane in comparison.” He let fifteen people watch him walk into an oil refinery right before it blew up to fake his own death. It was his way of taking early retirement. Now he is simply a sociopath working freelance killing people. “Tall, dyes his hair, face like a ferret.” He read the MW dossier which made him think that they could be partners. MW accepted a “hit” job from him in order to try and save the mark and possibly rid himself of Larry at the same time. He only escaped from Ms sniper scope by holding a hostage in front of him to get out of line of fire then killed the hostage. Another time he stole $2 million from the money cleaner of a cartel and used Ms name to do it. That attempt at getting M back to work with him failed failed as well when M returned the money, blamed the theft on a hit man that Larry had killed, and called the police to report a counterfeiting scheme in Larry’s name (actually his new alias: Larry Garber). Finally, he somehow met Brennen and became partners in getting M to kill the men whose names were on Simon’s NOC list. He arrogantly claimed to know M well enough from the “old days” to know that M would be “glad to help” and 'thank me for it' in the end. He colluded with M to keep Brennen happy until the opportunity arose to take the list back; all the time claiming that he intended to let M do all the heavy work while he did all the fun stuff. With complete disregard for M or his family he killed Brennen saying that “now you have to work with me to stay alive.” However, he didn’t count on Sam who worked behind the scenes to find his cell phone number, remove Brennen’s safe before Larry got to it then held him at sniper gunpoint while M escaped so the cops could come with Brennen’s body in the same room. M told him that “while I would gladly give my life for something that I believed in, there isn’t a thing in this world that you would die for.”

She skillfully duped them all through their interrogation but revealed selected aspects of her plan hoping they would be killed. She duped Fiona in the interrogation then escaped from Fiona by threatening to kill a child bystander but leaving her $5 million behind when she escaped. Later she took a job stealing a US chemical weapon for some Venezuelans but then had a higher bidder who wanted her to steal it from the Venezuelans. She devised a plan to have a medical-scammer, con man (Stuart) to get MW to help steal it back from its well-fortified compound under the guise of rescuing a kidnapped sister. When that plan went awry she killed Stuart and pretended altruistic motives while framing Fiona for the murder. Once done she mined Sam’s exit road and stole it back from him; but, MW eventually got it back from her, chased her buyers away, planted the real weapon on her and chained her to a boat trailer waiting for the Homeland Security to come for her confession.

Tyler Brennen (Jay Karnes)

A black-market smuggler and thief who is one of the most arrogant and condescending individuals that Michael Weston has met. He kidnapped a known thief’s son (who happened to be the ex-fiancé of Michael) and made her, Samantha Keyes, steal a guidance chip from an aerospace company for ransom. M developed an elaborate con to make Brennen decide that the best course of action would be to have M put the chip back before anyone noticed. On the run from his South American contacts for the botched deal, he threatened to find out what MW had “really” done and see him again. (27)
Never quite getting over Ms rousting him out of his planned profit from selling the guidance chip he was able to avoid being killed by the Columbian cartel (by sending guns to their rivals) and devised a plan to 'fit the Westen brothers for body bags' and getting M to steal something else for him at the same time. By offering to fund a business scheme of Nates he was able to hire an assassin from Sicily (the Butcher) to hold him hostage and force M through the key steps leading up to a major theft. To punctuate his point he shot Nate in the arm - which just pissed M off and brought his whole force into, once again, thwarting Brennan's plan by making it look like he'd done the same thing to Brennan's daughter, Annabelle, going to private school in Switerzerland. He acquiesed but acquired a new obsession. (31)
After their last encounter he spent $122,654.32 tracking Ms every move which is how he was led to Marv and had the ability to blackmail him into getting the thumb drive with the NOC list away from M, also the audio tape of Ms informing on Vaughn and the organization. He recognized the opportunity to make money from killing the 64 men on the list and using the audio tape to blackmail M into doing it. Just for good measure he teamed with Larry Seizmore to help M kill and also to “wrangle” him. Larry did kill one of the names on the list, Albert Machado, but then stabbed Brennen in the chest after he learned that M had found Brennen’s safe with the list. Brennen’s body was found with Larry by the police, who Sam had called. (61)
- He claims that he had sent a Christmas Card to Nate Westen but had never gotten a reply.
