Kelly Sharpton

Kelly Sharpton was Special Agent in Charge of CTU Los Angeles. After Jack Bauer was demoted from that position six months prior to Veto Power, Sharpton was transferred in to take over.

Background
Sharpton spent eight years in the Air Force, four with the Office of Special Investigations, before leaving to join the FBI. He served as a field agent at FBI San Francisco, but personal problems and his talent with computers pushed him away from field duty.

He wrote a virus that could wipe out all data on an infected hard drive, as well as performing more surgical tasks, such as erasing all existant copies of one or more files.

Veto Power
After receiving a panicked phone call from Debrah Drexler, Sharpton ordered Jessi Bandison to hack into the Department of Justice's computer system so that he could use his bloodhound virus to destroy incriminating photos of Drexler.
