Michael Latham

Michael Latham was the designer of Homeland Security's Firewall Project.

Before Day 7
Latham was born in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. He was 6'1", weighed 190 pounds and had brown eyes. He was the Chief Executive of Homeland Security's Firewall Project. He had Clearance Level 6 and served in the Army for 8 years. He specialised in Tech Support and Field Ops.

Day 7
Whilst driving in the car with his daughter Emily, Latham was kidnapped by a group of terrorists led by former CTU agent Tony Almeida. Latham was taken from his car after another vehicle collided with him and put in the back of a black van, which then quickly drove away.

Latham was taken to Almeida's workstation where he was forced to "fix" a device for the terrorists so they could get past the Firewall Project which he designed. After doing so, Masters, one of Alemida's henchmen, took the device from him and implemented it to hack an airplane's coordination computers. However, the device did not appear to work and so Almeida took it back to Latham and demanded that he fixed it, or he would kill him.
