Alex Hewitt

Alex Hewitt was an expert computer programmer hired by oil executive Peter Kingsley to fabricate an audio recording of a conversation between Prime Ministers of three Middle Eastern countries.

Day 2
Alex Hewitt was a computer programmer who created a program that was able to generate the speech patterns of any individual once a sample was provided. Oil executive Peter Kingsley hired Alex to create a forged audio conversation that implicated three Middle Eastern countries in a nuclear terrorist attack. Kingsley hoped that the forged recording could be used to trick the United States into going to war.

Both Sherry Palmer and Jack Bauer discovered Alex's involvement in the plot and went to Alex's apartment. Sherry wanted Alex to let her take the evidence, so she had blackmail against Kingsley (since Sherry was involved in the plot), but Jack wanted to get the evidence that proved the conversation was fabricated so he could hand it to President David Palmer.

Soon after Sherry and Jack arrived at Alex's apartment, terrorists working for Kingsley also arrived. After a short chase on the apartment roof, Jack is forced to shoot him in the leg in self defense, leading to Alex falling to a lower section of the roof. He survived the fall but cracked the back of his head, and he died from blood loss soon after.
