Ned

Ned was the foreman in charge of personnel at an oil drilling field in Mojave, California.

Day 5
At 7am, Ned the foreman called out the names of those men who were chosen to work at specific oil pumps. Frank Flynn, the alias of Jack Bauer, was not one of them. As "Frank" turned to leave, Ned apologized to him because, though he had promised him work, there was none available since his usual pump went down unexpectedly. Ned assured "Frank" that there would be a job the following day.

Ned was named by "Frank" when he explained to Diane Huxley why he was in his room instead of at work that morning.

Background information and notes
The names which Ned the foreman called (Jim Nichols, Sterling Rush, Patrick Reese, Phil Stone, and Greg Nelson) are the names of crew members.
