Meet the characters from The Night Agent

Peter Sutherland

Okay, Peter is basically the kind of quietly heroic nerd you want on your side — low-key, obsessively procedural, and somehow way more stubborn than he looks. He lives for checklists and late-night surveillance feeds (also coffee mugs with tiny cracks he never throws away), and he has this calm, slightly awkward sincerity that makes him impossible not to root for. He’s not flashy — more the “I’ll stay in the basement until I fix it” type — but when things go sideways he snaps into this focused, almost gentle intensity that’s kind of terrifying in a good way. Also, he can make a mean grilled cheese? I don’t know where that came from but I’m pretty sure it’s true.

Chelsea Arrington

Chelsea is sparkly and sharp and kind of unpredictable — like someone who can deliver a sanitized briefing and then start a roast battle in the hallway five minutes later. She’s politically savvy, quick on her feet, and has an allergy to bad coffee (which is a crime, honestly), but also a soft spot for stray animals and terrible 90s pop playlists. Sometimes she’s annoyingly competent and other times she’s flustered and human and that’s what makes her interesting — she’ll send a blistering email and then text you a kitten GIF. Oh, and she wears a ridiculous number of scarves; some are fashion, some are comfort, and maybe one is cursed? Not sure.

Rose Larkin

Rose is that fierce, messy, brilliantly stubborn person who keeps surprising everyone with how resourceful she is — think quick comebacks, faster instincts, and an unshakable streak of loyalty. She’s sarcastic but soft in corners, the kind of person who’ll make a plan out of duct tape and determination, and somehow also cries at commercials (don’t ask why, it’s complicated). She’s not a bystander; she dives in, usually before thinking it through, and somehow manages to drag a ragtag band of allies with her. Also she collects postcards for reasons she can’t explain, and sometimes she naps in weird places like under desks — which, again, makes sense if you know her.

Maddie Redfield

Maddie feels like the moral compass with a secret — principled, intensely private, and way tougher than her soft voice suggests. She’s the type who reads everything (papers, people, the room) and then makes a decision that leaves you both relieved and slightly panicked because of how quietly bold it was. She’s cautious but not cowardly, and seems fragile until she has to be ironclad, which she is, somehow. Little odd detail: she always straightens the chairs in a room before leaving, even if she’s been running for her life five seconds earlier.

Ellen

Ellen is smooth, practiced, and carries the weight of a million choices; she’s the kind of leader who smiles and means it, but you know there’s a ledger of compromises in her pocket. She can be maternal one moment and cutthroat the next — not out of cruelty, but because she’s convinced the world runs on pragmatic hard choices (and maybe guilt, but she’ll never say that). People lean on her for steadiness, and she gives it — sometimes too much, sometimes not enough — which makes her complicated and kind of tragic in a nice way. Also she is terrifyingly good at remembering birthdays, which is either endearing or slightly horrifying depending on the conspiracy theorist in you.

Dale

Dale is the gritty, salt-of-the-earth backbone, the “I’ve seen worse” guy who tells jokes that are half dad-joke, half tactical memo. He’s loyal to a fault, laughs too loud in tense rooms, and has a surprising hobby of collecting terrible ties (don’t ask why he owns a neon toucan tie). He’s pragmatic, resents bureaucracy on principle, and will absolutely help you move furniture at 3 a.m. if you need it — without asking questions and with a thermos of questionable coffee. Also, he cries when the underdog wins; just so you know.

Erik Monks

Erik is the kind of polished menace that looks like a billionaire in a tailor-fit suit and then surprises you by being quietly sociopathic — charming in the worst possible way. He’s calculated, patient, and has that unsettling ability to make you think he’s right until you realize you’re trapped in his logic. He loves control, cufflinks, and the feeling of a plan that unfolds exactly how he imagined, but also sometimes hums old lullabies? It’s creepy and oddly human, like a villain with a souvenir mug from a better childhood he keeps on his desk for reasons no one should question.

Diane Farr

Diane is the competent, no-nonsense boss who you picture with rolled-up sleeves and an exasperated sigh that secretly means “I’ve got this.” She’s principled, blunt, and not afraid to push people — partly because she cares, partly because she’s terrified of what happens if she doesn’t. She’s the mentor who will scold you and then bring you soup, and she’s quietly hilarious if you get her on a good day (which is rare, but delightful). Also she keeps post-it notes everywhere like they’re tiny flags of victory, which is equal parts adorable and slightly scary.
