Helena Harper

Helena Harper is a skilled operative within the Secret Service, renowned for her proficiency and dedication to the service of her country. Her exterior is that of a hardened agent, stoic and seemingly infallible, yet her personal history is rife with complexity and moral ambiguity. Harper's relationship with her sister weighs heavily on her conscience, often serving as leverage against her by those who seek to exploit her vulnerabilities. Despite a record marred by incidents of misconduct, her potential is seen by National Security Adviser Derek C. Simmons as an advantage for his covert machinations. She is shrewd and resourceful, traits that initially serve her well in her covert assignments but also lead her into ethical quandaries. Her allegiance to the Secret Service and the memory of President Adam Benford, whom she is ultimately forced to protect, shape her character's internal conflicts and drive her actions.
