Samantha Brinker is an employee of "The Company" with whom Kellerman and Reynolds have been collaborating. She recognized a former employee of the company, Lincoln and Michael's father, who had sent information to the judge which prompted him to stay Lincoln's execution. She gave very accurate assessments to The Company regarding Reynolds' personality profile, affirming Reynolds' ambitions to be the president. Brinker bluntly delivered The Company's decision to Reynolds about their withdrawal of support from her presidential race. After Reynolds arranged for the death of President Richard Mills and was sworn into office, Brinker was casually dismissed by Reynolds. She only appeared in season 1 and it is unknown what happened to her.
