Section One
Section One
Operations
The ultimate intelligence bureaucrat. The leader of Section One, he designs the missions, liaisons with the few people in government who know of the Section's existence and makes "personnel" decisions - including who should live and who should die. Nikita learns not to get on the wrong side of him; his human side has been known to appear, but rarely.
Madeline
The master strategist of Section One. Her specialty isn't hardware or mission logistics, but rather the emotional and psychological aspects of the job. A chess player who uses human souls as pieces, she is completely dedicated to accomplishing the Section's goals while remaining indifferent to the cost. A constant presence, she's often seemingly engaged in some casual activity, while in reality she's observing and analyzing every nuance taking place around her.
Walter
the Section One equivalent of James Bond's "Q" who devises gadgets for the operatives. A man with a colorful past, even by the Section's standards, he's weathered, cantankerous and tough as nails. At the same time, he maintains an infallible dedication that provides his operatives with maximum protection in the field. He considers himself an active player in the game of life and love, and is constantly flirting with Nikita.
Birkoff
a computer genius whose talents are instrumental in the success of the Section. A young wiseguy, he looks more apt to crack a joke rather than his daily dose of some of the world's most secret and complex codes. The most overtly iconoclastic and cynical person in the group, he's devoted to its goals, even though he has a few of his own.
Michael
Nikita's trainer, mentor
and Section One superior. Sensual, dark and devious, he remains
an enigma and manipulates Nikita in his pursuit of Section One's
goals. Yet his actions often seem to have another design, perhaps
suggesting that he genuinely cares for her. Regardless of his
attraction, Michael's mysterious past prevents him from falling
for his latest recruit.
