Alexander Trepkos

Alexander Trepkos acted as an intermediary between Peter Kingsley and Max during Day 2.

Day 2

When the nuclear weapon failed to blow up Los Angeles, Trepkos paid a visit to Kingsley’s office to relay the news that Max was not happy. They conversed on whether Jack Bauer would be able to stop the war or not. Later on, Trepkos found out from his government intelligence sources that Kingsley had been killed and that the Cyprus recording had been found to be false. When he told Max that the war had been called off, Max decided to resort to a previously undisclosed Plan B. Trepkos was confused, but Max only said that it would start that day, and hung up. Mandy soon attacked President David Palmer with a dangerous chemical or biological weapon.

Background information and notes

• At the start of Season 3, Wayne Palmer spoke the lines quoted below to his brother, President David Palmer, about Mandy's assassination attempt (of which Alexander Trepkos had been ignorant). Because Kingsley was killed at the end of Season Two, and Max's fate was accounted for in 24: The Game, it is distinctly possible that Trepkos (who appeared to work beneath Max) was one of the people Wayne was referring to:

  ...and you remind everyone that it was your administration that not only arrested the man behind the attempt on your life, but you also exposed his organization and put his top tier people away as well, all this while you were in this so-called weakened state."

• In 2007, Jon Cassar listed Alexander Trepkos as a character that could 'potentially return' along with Carl Webb, Teddy Hanlin, Lynne Kresge, and Behrooz Araz [1].
• This character's name was never used on the show, but appeared on the fox.com episode guide for Day 2: 3:00am-4:00am. His surname was also mentioned in 24: The Game.
