About me: Jack Bauer is a retired Captain of the U.S Army Special Forces then Delta Force and 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.
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.
Following Day 8, Jack was forced to flee the United States, wanted by both the U.S. and Russian governments for killing the Russian foreign minister and his lead operative and for attempting to assassinate the Russian President involved in a terrorist conspiracy and as retribution for the assassination of his loved one. After four years spent living in hiding in Eastern Europe, Jack resurfaced in London after receiving word of an assassination attempt against his former mentor, President James Heller and a possible prelude to a much more devastating attack. During the course of Day 9, Jack was given a full Presidential pardon for the crimes he committed four years prior, on Day 8, and for any crimes he had committed in assisting President James Heller to stop the drone attacks by Margot Al-Harazi, freeing him of his fugitive status in the United States. However, he later gave himself to the Russians in exchange for his friend Chloe O'Brian.
