NCIS characters

Leroy Jethro Gibbs
Supervisory Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs, portrayed by Mark Harmon, was born in Stillwater, Pennsylvania to Jackson Gibbs and an unnamed mother. He joined the United States Marine Corps in 1976 and became a Scout Sniper instead of attending college. After serving tours of duty in Panama and Iraq, he retired from the Marine Corps with the rank of Gunnery Sergeant. He joined NIS, which later became NCIS, after his wife Shannon and only daughter Kelly were murdered in 1991. Gibbs later travelled to Mexico and murdered the drug dealer responsible, a crime he kept concealed for twenty years. Since then, he has been married and divorced three times, and is currently single. He currently leads a team consisting of Anthony DiNozzo, Timothy McGee, Abigail Sciuto, and Ziva David. In the episode "Bête Noire" Gibbs comes face to face with terrorist Ari Haswari and puts a bullet through Ari's right shoulder. Finding Ari later becomes an obsession for Gibbs when he and DiNozzo witness original team member Agent Kate Todd get shot dead in front of them in the season 2 finale, "Twilight". He is often shown in his basement building boats, at least one of which he named after his daughter; another was named after one of his ex-wives. In the episode "Blowback", when confronting "Goliath" on the plane about "ARES", Gibbs revealed he is a Virgo. He is a deadshot marksman, as evidenced in "Hiatus" with flashbacks of him hitting a long-distance headshot of his family's murderer, who was driving a moving vehicle, a 1200-yard killshot, from a file read by Director Leon Vance in the episode "Deliverance"; And in "Jeopardy" he hits a kidnapper with a very swift killshot in the forehead---he takes this shot while kneeling from inside a car trunk, with his left hand.
Gibbs is one of three characters to have appeared in every episode.


Anthony DiNozzoSenior 
Special Agent Anthony "Tony" D. DiNozzo, portrayed by Michael Weatherly, is a former homicide detective for the Baltimore Police Department. Prior to Baltimore, he worked for Philadelphia PD and Peoria PD. Like Gibbs, has a limited patience for the scientific method and technical terms. DiNozzo is perhaps best known for his seemingly-endless film references; Ziva insists that his dying words will be "I've seen this film". He attended Ohio State University as a physical education major and was a member of the "Alpha Chi Delta" fraternity, class of 1989. DiNozzo is said to have played college basketball, "running the point for Ohio State" according to Abby Sciuto in a discussion with her assistant, Chip. It is mentioned that he comes from a wealthy family but was disowned by his father, Anthony DiNozzo Sr, played by Robert Wagner who in turn was played by Weatherly in a TV movie. DiNozzo's mother was over-protective, and she "dressed him like a sailor until he was ten.


Ziva David
Ziva David, portrayed by Cote de Pablo, formerly held the post of Mossad Liaison Officer to NCIS, to which she was appointed following the murder of Special Agent Caitlin Todd by a rogue Mossad operative named Ari Haswari. David was Ari's control officer and half-sister. After Agent Todd's death, she requested a liaison assignment to NCIS, where she subsequently joined Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs' team. At the end of Season 6, Ziva falls under suspicion as a spy for the Mossad.
Her specialty with the Mossad was espionage, assassination and terrorism and is highly trained in the martial arts. She speaks Hebrew, English, Arabic, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Russian and Turkish. Despite being fluent in English, she sometimes misinterprets idioms and phrases that have different meanings in other languages if translated directly; this is a running joke within the series. Ziva is very skilled with a knife and has been shown teaching her colleagues how to throw it properly. She is the one person Gibbs trusts with any type of firearm in difficult, potentially hazardous, situations. In her career, she has traveled extensively to countries including Egypt (where she met Jenny Shepard), Iraq, the United Kingdom and Morocco. In the episode "Good Cop, Bad Cop" Ziva became a probationary NCIS Special Agent after she terminated her links with Mossad for good. Since then, Tony has referred to her (as with McGee) as "Probie". As of "Rule Fifty-One", she is a citizen of the United States and able to become a full agent.


Abby Sciuto
Abigail "Abby" Sciuto, portrayed by Pauley Perrette, is a forensic specialist with NCIS. As indicated in the episode "Seadog", she is the child of deaf parents. She is known for her gothic style of dress and addiction to the fictional, high-caffeine beverage "Cafe-Pow". Abby had a brief sexual relationship with Special Agent McGee, as seen in the episode "Reveille" in season one, which ended with the two remaining friends. She is the most active and affectionate person of the team, often hugging everyone and talking fast, though she can be easily distracted. She is one of the few who can talk to Gibbs freely, and he often buys her Caf-Pow. She and Gibbs are both fluent in sign language. She has a stuffed farting hippopotamus named Bert that often appears in the show.


Timothy McGee
Timothy McGee, portrayed by Sean Murray, first appeared in the episode "Sub Rosa" as a Case Agent stationed at Norfolk, and was promoted to Field Agent and assigned to Agent Gibbs' team in the second season, becoming a regular character, where he became a Junior Special Agent with NCIS. He serves as a field computer consultant and occasionally assists Abby Sciuto in the lab.
He clashes with DiNozzo, though after the two became partners (following Ziva's departure from the team at the end of season six), they are frequently shown to form an effective team; however, once Ziva returns, their relationship reverts to its original state. McGee's methods are often indecipherable to the other team members, have earned him the pejorative nickname "McGeek" and "McGoo" (along with other derisive nicknames based on his surname), as well as "Probie", and "Elf Lord", the latter used by multiple characters due to his elf character in an online role playing computer game. He was trained in biomedical engineering at Johns Hopkins University, and computer forensics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). 


Leon Vance
Leon Vance, portrayed by Rocky Carroll, first appeared in the episode "Internal Affairs" as Assistant Director in Season 5. He is named Director after the death of Jenny Shepard. It has been revealed in the episode "Knockout" that he was originally from Ohio, but grew up in Chicago where he trained to be a boxer. In this episode, his wife stated that Vance attended the United States Naval Academy and was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant in the Marine Corps, but was forced to take a medical discharge before ever serving due to having undergone surgery to repair a detached retina suffered during his boxing career.


Dr. Donald "Ducky" Mallard
Dr. Donald "Ducky" Mallard, portrayed by David McCallum, is the Chief Medical Examiner at NCIS. Dr. Mallard is a Scottish-born doctor, who has been long-time friends with Gibbs, and underwent medical education at the University of Edinburgh Medical School, and served in the Royal Army Medical Corps. He has a "second talent", as Gibbs calls it, to be able to read people, which he expands in Season 4 by studying psychology. In cases without actual bodies, he assists by using his psychological training to decipher the clues left by the perpetrators. Dr. Mallard is an eccentric character who often talks to the deceased ("their bodies tell me a great deal; it helps to reciprocate") and rambles to the living with many long personal remembrances or historical accounts, but is a kind man at heart. He also calls co-workers by their full first names (ex: Abigail instead of Abby)—with the exceptions of Gibbs and medical assistant Jimmy Palmer, whom he addresses as Jethro and Mr. Palmer, respectively (although he does refer to Palmer by his first name, Jimmy, when concerned for him, as revealed in About Face). Although most of his time is spent in autopsy and going to crime scenes to examine bodies, he was sent on a highly important undercover mission in the episode "Blowback". He also spent some time in Afghanistan during the Soviet invasion, and in Bosnia during the Balkan conflict.


Caitlin "Kate" Todd
Caitlin Todd, portrayed by Sasha Alexander, first appeared in the episode "Yankee White". Todd was a former Secret Service agent, recruited by Gibbs after she successfully helped him solve a murder aboard Air Force One. She worked well with everyone on the team, becoming particularly close with Ducky and Abby, who convinced her to get a tattoo (referenced in the episode "Kill Ari (Part 1)"). Her relationship with Gibbs is unique, as there appeared to be a real friendship between the two characters; which is unusual considering Gibbs is not a close friend with anyone. 


Jenny Shepard
Jenny Shepard, portrayed by Lauren Holly, first appeared in the episode "Kill Ari (Part 1)". She replaced former NCIS director Thomas Morrow, at the start of the third season after Morrow took a Deputy Director's position with the Department of Homeland Security. She is also a "military brat" as her father Colonel Jasper Shepard was an Army officer.She was Gibbs' former partner and former lover. While she and Gibbs were stationed in Europe, Gibbs was ordered back to the States and she was offered her own section in Europe. When Gibbs asked Jenny to go with him, she refused. They were reunited in "Kill Ari (Part 1)" which stirred Gibbs' heart, and opened a constant flirtation between her and Gibbs. Jenny was killed in the episode "Judgment Day (Part 1)". At the time of her death she was already dying from a terminal illness that was never specified.After Director Shepard's death, she was replaced by Assistant Director Leon Vance.


Jimmy Palmer
Jim (Jimmy) Palmer, portrayed by Brian Dietzen, and sometimes referred to by Tony as "Autopsy Gremlin", first appeared in the episode "Split Decision". After Gerald Jackson was incapacitated, Palmer became Mallard's medical assistant both in the field and in the morgue. In the episode "About Face", Jimmy became a central character of the episode who must recover his memory to find a suspect to the murder case and his attempted killer. He self-identifies as a sufferer of Part of the reason that Doctor Mallard and he are often not at the crime scene until well after Gibbs and his team arrive is related to Dr. Mallard's emphasis on Jimmy being a horrible driver and always getting lost, although Jimmy tries to defend himself by pointing out that Ducky is the one with the map. He was named after former Baltimore Orioles pitcher Jim Palmer, but does not like baseball.


Jackson Gibbs
Jackson Gibbs is the father of Leroy Jethro Gibbs, portrayed by Ralph Waite. After his son left to join the Marines, Jackson Gibbs continued to live in the town of Stillwater. He was widowed some years before the events in the sixth season episode "Heartland". During the episode "Frame Up", Gibbs mentions that his father painted pin-up girl Betty Grable on the nose of his P-51 Mustang. From this, it is possible that Jackson served in the United States Army Air Corps during World War II. Jackson Gibbs's most recent appearance on the show is also the season ending cliffhanger for season 7. Paloma Reynosa of the Reynosa cartell enters Gibbs's store and turns the sign on the door from open to closed. This is following Reynosa's warning to Jethro Gibbs that if he does not do exactly as she says she will kill everyone he ever met and is all part of Paloma's plan to get revenge on Gibbs who killed her father twenty years previously.


Tobias C. Fornell
Tobias C. Fornell, portrayed by Joe Spano, first appeared in the series premiere episode "Yankee White". Fornell is a Senior FBI Special Agent. He is often involved in "inter-agency turf wars" with Gibbs' NCIS team. The two frequently pretend to be furiously angry at each other in front of their agents, only to meet in an elevator and talk, revealing a pre-existing friendship. 


Dr. Jordan Hampton
Dr. Jordan Hampton, portrayed by Torri Higginson, first appeared in the episode "Identity Crisis". When a "John Doe" was donated to science and Ducky found mercury in his brain, he was outraged that the medical examiner who performed the autopsy did not think to check his brain before donating him. As he and Gibbs went to confront "him" (Ducky mistakenly assumed that Dr. Hampton was male), he asked Gibbs to think no less of him for giving the M.E. a piece of his mind. After finding out that Dr. Hampton was not male, Ducky was visibly placated. Jordan came back to Ducky's autopsy room to help him find anything else she might have missed, and decoded the tattoo on his arm, helping Gibbs and his team eventually solve the case. She also reveals in this episode that she likes things neat and clean.


Trent Kort
Trent Kort, portrayed by David Dayan Fisher, first appeared in the episode "Smoked". He works for the CIA and while he has not done anything illegal, he almost always has his own agenda. He also has a bad tendency to lie to peoples' faces, especially Gibbs. (In the episode "Dead Reckoning" he tells Gibbs that trust is elusive at best and Gibbs responds by saying that between him and Kort, it is not elusive but impossible). He has managed to keep a neutral relationship with everyone on Gibbs' team except DiNozzo, since he blew Tony's car up in the episode "Bury Your Dead", and kept La Grenouille informed about Tony's relationship with his daughter, even though it was supposed to be an undercover mission to get to La Grenouille. However, Kort is shown to have some strong ties within the CIA, as he was able to get files for Gibbs on Ducky and Director Vance. It is also speculated that Kort is the one to have killed La Grenouille, though it is implied Jenny Shepard may have been responsible. 


Margaret Allison Hart
M. Allison Hart, portrayed by Rena Sofer, is an attorney. She was contacted by Colonel Merton Bell while he was being tried by the Mexican authorities for bounty hunting in their country. Hart successfully got Bell released from prison on the condition that he not leave Mexico. Vengeful against the man who had sent him to prison, Bell sent Hart to Washington to defend any accused who were involved in Gibbs's investigations.


Eli David
Eli David, played by Michael Nouri, has had a recurring role as the head of the Israeli Mossad, who also happens to be Ziva David's father. Though appearing to be uncaring about his children, Eli has his reasons for his inability to care for their well being. He and Director Vance share a history since Amsterdam when Eli saved his life from a Russian hit squad.


Alejandro Rivera
Alejandro Rivera, played by Marco Sanchez, is a high-ranking official of the Mexican Justice Department and, secretly, the son of drug dealer Pedro Hernandez and the brother of Paloma Reynosa, head of the Reynosa drug cartel.
Rivera was assigned by his government to be a liaison with American law enforcement agencies on a special anti-drug project of forming a Mexican-American task force to strike against the drug cartels, notably against Reynosa. Secretly, Rivera's objective was to have revenge for his father's death by using Abby Sciuto's forensic skills to investigate the cold case while training a class of task force forensic specialists in Mexico.


E. J. Barrett
Erica Jane "E. J." Barrett, portrayed by Sarah Jane Morris, is an NCIS agent reassigned to Washington in the season eight episode "One Last Score". She was originally a Major Case Response Team leader stationed in Rota, Spain, which attracts DiNozzo's attention as he had previously been offered the same position in the season four episode "Singled Out", though he does not resent her position as he turned the offer down in order to stay in Washington. Barrett's presence in the Navy Yard is a source of tension between Gibbs and Director Vance as Gibbs initially believes Barrett was reassigned to Washington because of budget cuts. However, in the episode "Two-Faced", it is revealed that Barrett was stationed in Washington to track a serial killer known as the "Port-to-Port Killer". 


Clayton Jarvis
Clayton Jarvis, played by Matt Craven, is the new Secretary of the Navy appointed after the events of the season 8 finale, Pyramid, which lead to the resignation of Secretary Davenport. Jarvis is an old friend of Director Leon Vance and it seems that he comes highly recommended in D.C. Jarvis is introduced in the final scene in a meeting between himself, Director Vance and Anthony DiNozzo. 


Ari Haswari
Portrayed by Rudolf Martin. Haswari is a terrorist who attacked and wounded both Gibbs and Gerald Jackson when he infiltrated the NCIS morgue during the episode "Bête Noire". NCIS initially identified him as an undercover Mossad agent in the episode "Reveille", but he was a rogue agent working for Hamas and he was later found to be the leader of an Al-Qaeda cell in Washington, D.C..


Brent Langer
Brent Langer, portrayed by Jonathan LaPaglia, first appeared in the episode "Tribes". He is killed in the episode "Last Man Standing" by Agent Lee, and initially suspected of being a mole. Lee was, in fact, the mole, and killed him to preserve her cover. He was an FBI agent, initially trained under Gibbs at NCIS and was transferred back to NCIS at Gibbs' recommendation. He had previously worked with Gibbs' team in the episode "Tribes", where he assisted the team in tracking down a terrorist recruiter. Gibbs places his voided FBI agent ID card on a wall commemorating fallen personnel in the episode, "Collateral Damage", just as Gibbs was turning his suspicion back to Agent Lee.


Michelle Lee
Michelle Lee, portrayed by Liza Lapira, first appeared in the episode "Shalom". Special Agent Michelle Lee was the newest addition to the NCIS Major Case Response Team based out of Washington Navy Yard. She was brought in between season three and four to bring the team back up to full strength following the departure of Supervisory Special Agent Gibbs. Following Gibbs' return early on in the season she was transferred to the legal department and was frequently seen delivering warrants to the team, also having a covert affair with Assistant Medical Examiner Jimmy Palmer during that time. She returned to the series in season six as part of Gibbs' new team, but was reassigned after the first episode.


Mike Franks
Mike Franks is portrayed by Muse Watson, introduced in episode flashbacks in the episode "Hiatus (Part 1)". Retired NIS/NCIS Agent Mike Franks was called in to help with Gibbs' memory after he went in a coma due to being caught in a bombing. He is Gibbs' former mentor and partner, still referring to Gibbs as "Probie". Although he comes across as crass and uncaring, Franks has been known to be very devious and sneaky, even hiding the fact that he had a son, though Gibbs helped hide his granddaughter and the girl's mother. 


Paloma Reynosa
Paloma Reynosa, played by Jacqueline Obradors, is the head of the Reynosa drug cartel, the most powerful cartel in Mexico, the daughter of drug dealer Pedro Hernandez and the older sister of Mexican Justice Department official Alejandro Rivera.
Paloma took over control of the cartel when her husband died. During her years in charge, the cartel grew to be powerful enough to infiltrate the US Navy. As a way to try and end the drug war in Mexico, the Mexican government launched a task force project with American law enforcement agencies to strike against the cartels.

René Benoit ("La Grenouille")
Portrayed by Armand Assante, René Benoit, alias La Grenouille ("The Frog"), is an arms dealer from France. He is the primary antagonist of seasons four and five. He is introduced in the episode "Blowback". Director Shepard had been hunting La Grenouille for over ten years and soon developed an obsession with arresting him as she believed he had killed her father. Although he had connections to Iran, the CIA appear to have tolerated him as a method of funneling disinformation to Iran. 


Michael Rivkin
Michael Rivkin, portrayed by Merik Tadros, first appeared in the episode "Last Man Standing" as a Mossad agent. He was working with Ziva David when she was on an undercover mission for the Mossad in Morocco (Ziva having been dismissed from NCIS in the previous episode). Later on in the episode, he was seen in the office of the head of Mossad, Eli David, Ziva's father, as Ziva talks on the phone to Gibbs. Tony becomes suspicious of the man that Ziva appears to be dating, and keeps trying to find out who he is. For example, in the episode "Legend (Part 1)", Tony asks Abby to check the records on Rivkin. In the episode "Legend (Part 2)", Michael appears as an undercover Mossad agent who is investigating the same terrorists that NCIS is investigating, killing them off one by one before NCIS can apprehend them. He is asked to leave the US by NCIS agent in charge in Los Angeles, Lara Macy and later by DiNozzo, both of them citing laws that prohibit foreign intelligence operatives from working in the United States.


Lara Macy
Lara Macy, portrayed by Louise Lombard, first appeared in the episode "Legend" as the Operations Manager of NCIS' Los Angeles branch, known as the Office of Special Projects. Macy first met Gibbs eighteen years prior to the events in Los Angeles, when she was a Lieutenant in the USMC military police and Gibbs was a USMC Gunnery Sergeant. Macy was one of the few characters to ever find out about Gibbs' murder of Mexican drug dealer Pedro Hernandez, and their relationship was volatile at best as a result of it until OSP's operational psychologist Nate Getz reveals to Gibbs that Macy had been protecting him because she felt his actions against Hernandez were justified. Macy is murdered in "Patriot Down".

Charles "Chip" Sterling
Chip Sterling, portrayed by Michael Bellisario, first appeared in the episode "The Voyeur's Web", as a new lab assistant working alongside Abby Sciuto that new NCIS Director Jenny Shepard had hired for her much to Abby's own aggravation. (Throughout Chip's employment, Abby insisted in vain that she was capable of working alone). Chip, having sinister motives, after being fired from his last job, attempts to frame Tony for murder (in which he almost succeeds) in the episode "Frame Up".


Faith Coleman
Portrayed by Alicia Coppola. Lieutenant Commander Faith Coleman is a prosecutor for the Judge Advocate General's office. Coleman first appeared in the episode "Ice Queen" of JAG and went on to make several appearances on NCIS, assisting Gibbs and his team. She successfully defended Commander Harmon Rabb when he was accused of the murder of fellow JAG lawyer Lieutenant Loren Singer. Her last appearance to date was in the episode "Hometown Hero", although she was mentioned in the episode "Head Case".


Gerald Jackson
Gerald Jackson, portrayed by Pancho Demmings, first appeared in the episode "Yankee White". Gerald Jackson was Dr. Mallard's original assistant until being incapacitated by Ari Haswari after being held hostage in the morgue While recuperating from his shoulder gunshot wound, his position was filled by Jimmy Palmer.

Jeanne Benoit
Jeanne Benoit, portrayed by Scottie Thompson, first appeared in the episode "Sandblast" as Tony DiNozzo's new girlfriend. She is an ER resident in Washington DC. In the episode "Angel of Death (1)", it is revealed that her father is the arms dealer "La Grenouille".

Nikki Jardine
Nikki Jardine, portrayed by Susan Kelechi Watson, first appeared in the episode "Leap of Faith". She assisted Gibbs' team in keeping watch on communications, and speaks fluent Arabic and Kurdish. In the episode "In the Zone", despite being a germaphobe revolted at the idea of field work, Jardine asked to go to Baghdad with Tony. She ostensibly went there on a case, but she also had her own reasons for going. Her brother had been injured while serving there, and a local villager, mistaken by Marines as an insurgent, was killed while attempting to help him, prompting Jardine to help the villager's children. Her last appearance was in the episode "In the Zone."


Vivian Blackadder
Portrayed by Robyn Lively, (JAG episodes "Ice Queen" and "Meltdown"). A former FBI agent, she joined NCIS after the attack on the USS Cole, in which her brother, Rex, was killed. Despite being a special agent, she seemed to be more focused with avenging her brother's death by any means possible rather than attempting to work with the rest of the team. Her obsession with getting revenge often drew Gibbs's ire—Gibbs told her to stay focused on their case or he would send her back to the FBI. 


Jethro (AKA Butch)
Jethro is a Navy drug detecting dog from season 5 episode "Dog Tags". Named after Gibbs by Abby for being "handsome and quiet". Gibbs walks in on Abby saying "Who's a good Jethro?" with him replying from behind, "I'm a good Jethro." He was framed for murder of a petty officer. Abby proves Jethro's innocence and forces McGee to adopt him, much to his dismay. (Jethro attacked him earlier in the episode.)


Holly Snow
Holly Snow (played by Dina Meyer) is a former Washington madam. She has appeared in two episodes to date: "Jet Lag" and "Guilty Pleasure". In "Guilty Pleasure", Holly is found by Gibbs to be giving a seminar on sexual harassment in the work place, part of a plea deal she worked out after her last episode. Gibbs asks for her help tracking down a prostitute who is the common link to all the murder victims. Later in the episode Holly whispers a request into Gibbs' ear for her assistance. Gibbs declares that her request is "a deal breaker" but Holly states that the deal is the only way she will help his investigation.
