Adam Kaufman

Adam Kaufman worked at CTU Los Angeles during Day 3. He frequently worked with Kim Bauer and Chloe O'Brian, and was considered one of the top agents at that time. According to Chloe, he hates women. Because of his demeanor and hatred of women, it is safe to assume he is a homosexual.

24: The Game
In 24: The Game, Kaufman joined CTU, replacing Sean Walker who was murdered by Peter Madsen after Madsen and a group of terrorists stormed CTU Los Angeles. He was able to find ten bombs set to go off in Los Angeles.

Before Day 3
Adam Kaufman did senior systems analyst and IP Manager Chloe O'Brian's background screening.

Day 3
Early in Day 3, he butts heads with Kim Bauer, saying that she only has the job because of her father, but when Kim shuts down his system, he agrees to help her out. He is a frequent part of CTU operations during Day 3.

Because he did Chloe's background screening, he was able to tell Kim Bauer that Angela was not, in fact, Chloe's child and starts a chain of events that leads to Kim Bauer's discovery that Chase Edmunds is the baby's father.

He assisted Chloe with the sting operation on the Salazar camp, though he felt that because of the situation surrounding the baby that Chloe shouldn't be in command. His concerns were later proven to be unfounded.

His sister Sara Kaufman becomes infected with the Cordilla Virus which causes him some distraction, though he eventually gets back on track.

After Day 3
It appears that Adam Kaufman is no longer with CTU LA following the events of Day 3. It can be assumed that Kaufman either was relocated or fired following Erin Driscoll's appointment as head of CTU Los Angeles. He also might have quit, unable to deal with the death of his sister. His whereabouts are unknown.
