John Reese

Intro AKA “man in the suit”. former Special Forces soldier and CIA agent who was believed to be dead. was discovered by billionaire Harold Finch. Reese displays a range of skills he has learned in the Special Forces and the CIA. He is intelligent, resourceful, and hyper-vigilant. His quick-thinking often helps him deal with any sticky situation. He has highly developed hand-to-hand combat techniques, and can easily take on multiple opponents at once. He maintains a small arsenal in his home, and can use a variety of handguns and assault weapons efficiently. Able to shoot with a high level of control and accuracy, he will often choose to wound (typically kneecap) rather than kill his targets. He is also shown to be ambidextrous, often switching a gun between hands as conditions require, but this skill is never spoken of. Finch created a machine that detects factors that can cause someone’s death and he sends Mr Reese to stop it.
