Ivan Erwich

Ivan Erwich (a.k.a. The Yellow Tie Man) was a henchman for Vladimir Bierko, responsible for smuggling cannisters of nerve gas out of a secret bunker near Ontario Airport.

He posed as a hostage during the airport hostage crisis, working with the terrorist leader, Anton Beresch. When Jack Bauer was captured by Beresch, Bauer noticed Erwich was not one of the hostages specifically picked to be executed and later saw him recieve a keycard from Beresch which originally belonged to Chevensky. After the hostage crisis, Bauer noticed Erwich had escaped and tried to have Curits find him. Erwich met up with his co-conspirators and smuggled out nerve gas cannisters.

Bierko later kills Erwich, blaming him for trusting Nathanson who has turned against them.
