The prominent organization that appeared throughout every episode of the first six seasons of 24, the Counter Terrorist Unit, had many dedicated and hardworking agents. No, I'm not thinking of Soulpatch, the Curtmeister or even the Terrorist Slayer; I'm looking beyond the big names to recognize the agent who had put up with the strife and the discord created by previously named feds, and looking towards the background guys who secretly did all the work Chloe took credit for, set up the comm systems that Edgar present so willingly, and even dry cleaned Jack Bauer's underclothes. I'm looking towards...

Long-Serving but Unrecognized CTU Staffers!

Introduction
There have been many agents who had hidden in the background whilst agents such as Jack demanded that they do illegal actions, go against their superiors or sometimes even give them items of their clothing. These lackeys unwillingly follow orders from the more well known secret agents, possibly in the hopes that their association with them will bring the lackeys into prominence; yet so far the majority of them have been unsuccessful.

The following list of agents is arranged in order of how great I think they were as a background character, with the greatest being at the end (as is with all suspenseful lists).

NOTE: More agents will be added shortly!

2. Marcy Reynolds


Appearances: Random points throughout Day 4, 5 and 6

Try as hard as you might; there is no way you can convince me that the wonderful Marcy Reynolds was called Jackie during Day 4 and the first half of Day 5. She made her first appearance well into Day 4, probably a new recuit after the eradication of CTU hierarchy as caused by the tyrannical reige of the 'Coll. Moments before 1:00pm, Marcy informed Jack Bauer that Driscoll needed him in a conference call with McLennan-Forster official John Reiss. She also assisted Audrey Raines in trying to find the man she recognized from the terrorist compound her and her father, SecDef Heller were kept in, Henry Powell. Later, bitchqueen Marianne Taylor asked Marcy, unpolitely, I might add, to take some of her workload, and she was also present during the raid on Mandy's apartment.

During Day 5, Marcy was present all day. She informed Bill Buchanan that Audrey had arrived at the start of the day, then several hours later she worked, and probably secretly helped to defeat, the crisis at Ontario Airport, despite what Jack Bauer might try and tell you. She also heightened tensions between CTU director Buchanan and his pain-in-the-ass superior Lynn McGill by telling Buchanan by McGill wanted to see him in Buch's own office. After the Sentox nerve gas was released at CTU, a security guard motioned for Marcy to get out of the building. Alas, it appeared that she did not make it and collapsed to the floor. However, Marcy returned from the dead, being the sole surivor of the nerve gas attack, at 12:16am when she wandered out of the Situation Room to a rebuking by Chloe O'Brian, who asked why she had not been in the meeting. Confused, Marcy left.

Throughout Day 6 Marcy's prominence seemed to fade slightly, only being given brief moments of airtime, usually passing a phone to someone else. Her most eventful moment of the day occured around 4:13am, when Nadia Yassir ordered Marcy to notify LAPD and the CTU ground teams to give Mike Doyle and Josh Bauer more space, to ensure that a deal with Phillip Bauer to trade Josh for the FB subcircuit board would be successful. She completed her task in less than two shakes of a lamb's tail!!

1. Jay


Appearances: Day 1 5:00pm-6:00pm

Clearly the stupidest CTU agent of them all. Jack was called to the hotel suite during Day 1 5:00pm-6:00pm along with the rest of the CTU team to track Alexis Drazen's moves whilst he was in the room with Elizabeth Nash. The operation went awry when Nash stabbed Drazen with a letter-opener, but terrorist-slayer Jack Bauer managed to keep Drazen alive long enough to use him, in a confusing twist of fate, to trade for Jack's own life when he was captured several hours later by Alexis' papa, Victor Drazen.

Anyway, back to Jay. After Jack managed to stop Alexis from dying, he told a bunch of CTU agents to look for some money that was stashed in the room that Alexis planned to give in a meeting with a mysterious red-hatted man. After Nina Myers found the money, she asked Jack what his next move would be. After giving an uncertain answer, Jack beckoned Jay over to him, and demanded his shirt. Without a moment's hesitation, Jack began to unbutton his apparel and handed it Jack. Moments later, Jack could be seen sporting the dark-blue long sleeved garment, whilst poor old Jay walked past with just an undershirt on.

In the wise and wonderful words of Blue Rook, "What a tool!"
