Jonathan Wallace

Captain Jonathan Wallace was the head of special operations group Coral Snake, which was funded by the NSA. He had been present when the group tried to recruit Jack Bauer.

Day 2
Roger Stanton was planning on using Coral Snake to help him carry out his plans of sneaking a nuclear weapon into the United States. Stanton wanted to have Coral Snake intercept the bomb, preventing any casualties, but still forcing the United States to go to war or increase its military posture, which he thought would increase the security of the United States. However, Peter Kingsley wanted the bomb to explode in Los Angeles, forcing David Palmer to go to war, which would increase his oil profits. Kingsley paid off Wallace to murder his own team, which he thought would guarantee the bomb would explode. However, Jack Bauer and George Mason found the bomb and detonated it in the desert, preventing the mass casualties.

Kingsley thought all the evidence of his involvement would be destroyed in the explosion. He changed his plans and decided to kill all the loose ends, including Wallace. Wallace escaped and killed Syed Ali in order to get the attention of Jack, whom he thought would be able to help him escape. He offered to give Jack the Cyprus recording in exchange for Kate Warner. He wanted to use Bob Warner's company connections with the CIA to escape to another country and then kill Kate.

At the meeting place, Kingsley's men attack Wallace, Jack, Kate, and Yusef Auda as they attempt to go to the airport. Wallace is shot in the neck during the firefight, so Jack takes him to a local medical clinic. Wallace dies before he can give Jack the location of the chip that proved the forging of the Cyprus recording. However, Jack looked at the X-Rays and discovered it was implanted into his chest. He then proceeded to cut it out with a surgical knife.
