Character Profiles of Walter, Madeline, and Operations

Walter aka Don Francks
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.

Madeline aka Alberta Watson
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.

Alberta Watson's Biography

Operations aka Eugene Robert Glazer
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.
