Category:Real-world characters

This category lists characters appearing or mentioned in 24 that are directly based on real people. Generally, these characters are only mentioned in dialogue, with two notable exceptions:


 * Omar Abdel-Rahman, the "Blind Sheikh" involved in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, appears in person as one of the main antagonists in 24 Declassified: Trinity
 * Former Serbian president Slobodan Milošević appears briefly in a television broadcast alongside Victor Drazen in 24: Nightfall

The articles in this category are strictly limited to information that can be gained in the episodes or other media in which they are referenced. The character's real status, living or deceased, can be listed in the character sidebar; any discussion of their real-world significance is allowed only in the "Background notes and information" section.
