Ron Clark

Ron Clark was a high-ranking member of James Heller's administration and a colleague of Mark Boudreau, who accompanied the First Family and General Coburn on their trip to London, England.

Day 9

Ron Clark attended President Heller's National Security briefing at Willoughby House, standing between the sitting Mark Boudreau and General Coburn. He was present while talk of the Chinese expansion into the area near the base in Diego Garcia was mentioned. When President Heller mixed up Franklin and Theodore Roosevelt, Ron exchanged a slight look of discomfort with Boudreau.

Ron later passed on a call from Steve Navarro to Mark, who learned about the apprehension of Jack Bauer. Ron overheard Mark and Navarro's conversation and agreed to keep the presence of Jack Bauer in London a secret from Audrey and President Heller.

A little later on, Ron came to Mark and Audrey Boudreau's hotel room to give him an update on the Bauer situation, which Audrey almost overheard. He covered by telling her that her car was downstairs.

Mark discussed the situation with Ron on their way downstairs, asking him to explore the option of clandestinely handing Jack Bauer over to the Russian Federation as a way of avoiding putting him on trial and more suffering for Audrey and Heller. Ron was hesitant, believing that President Heller should have been informed, but Mark explained what Audrey went through in the aftermath of her torture by the Chinese government.

Background information and notes

• Ron Clark may be the Deputy White House Chief of Staff during the Heller administration on Day 9, but his actual job title has yet to mentioned. He is high-ranking enough to sit in on National Security briefings, but appears to work directly for Mark Boudreau.
