Aaron Pierce is a Secret Service agent who worked under President David Palmer until Palmer's term as president ended. He then took a job under President Keeler until Air Force One went down. He now works as the head of the Secret Service detail in charge of protecting President Charles Logan.

He has at least one son, who is an active duty military officer in the Navy. David Palmer asked about how he was during Day 2 and Day 4.

Day 1

During Day 1, Pierce was the head of the Secret Service detail in charge of protecting Senator Palmer. Pierce helped protect Senator Palmer from two assassination attempts during the course of that day.

Day 2

During Day 2, Aaron has been promoted to Presidental detail, where he seems to be the head of the team assigned to protect Palmer, perhaps from the existing relationship. After David Palmer is removed from office, Pierce is assigned to guard him until he is released. Palmer wants to talk with Aaron about the events, but Aaron says he can't, but offers to listen. He eventually does talk, however, despite his best efforts.

Palmer, making an appeal as he is trying to get a hold of a phone to contact Jack Bauer, asks for Pierce's help. Pierce is able to get him a satellite phone, but is ordered to be arrested by Mike Novick. David protests, but Pierce is still arrested. As Aaron is being hauled off, David says he's sorry. Pierce's last words to Palmer as he's being hauled off are "You have nothing to be sorry for, sir."

Day 5

During Day 5, Pierce was the head of the Secret Service detail in charge of protecting President Logan. Pierce becomes suspicious of Walt Cummings after talking with First Lady Martha Logan. Pierce helped Jack Bauer apprehend Cummings once it was discovered that Cummings had betrayed the United States by helping Vladimir Bierko obtain VX nerve gas.

Later that day, Pierce accompanied Russian president Yuri Subarov, his wife Anya, and Martha Logan in their motorcade. Pierce helped to prevent an assassination attempt on Yuri Subarov by the terrorists in control of the nerve gas. Martha confided in Pierce that President Logan knew of the attack and failed to prevent it.

While talking with Martha back at the Presidential compound in Los Angeles, Mike Novick interrupts what appears to be a tender moment between the two.

Later that evening, Pierce got a call from David Palmer's brother Wayne, who indicated he had important information that David wanted to share with Pierce. Unfortunately, Wayne's car was attacked by masked men before he could reach Pierce and Wayne had to escape on foot.
