Max

Day 2
Max was the mastermind of a plot, aided by Peter Kingsley and Alexander Trepkos, to start a war between the United States and three unnamed Middle Eastern nations, in an attempt to drive up oil prices. Max allowed the terrorist organization Second Wave, led by Islamic terrorist Syed Ali, to acquire a nuclear warhead. Kingsley then fabricated recordings that implicated the three countries to Ali. Jack Bauer foiled this plot, but Max and Trepkos managed to conceal their involvement.

When his original plan failed, Max decided to start the war by hiring Mandy to infect President Palmer with a biological agent.
