  • Agent Knox first appears after kidnapping Catherine Chandler from her home. He claims it was necessary, because the police surrounded her place, hoping to find Vincent Keller, who is wanted for murder and is a fugitive after escaping prison. He tells Catherine he wants her & Vincent's help to find Agent Karen Mallory, who was abducted by the terrorist cell she was following. Catherine doesn't believe him until Knox reveals that Dana Landon pointed him towards Catherine & Vincent, saying they were his best option to find Agent Mallory. He says he's willing to get Vincent exonerated if they can help him out. Catherine knocks him and his partner out, and escapes after Vincent tracks her down.
