- Big Bad: Of Season 2, notably the only time the show uses a clear-cut example of this archetype.
- The Captain: He has a rank of Captain in the Navy, the equivalent of a Colonel in the other branches of the military.
- Determinator: After returning from Nicaragua upon hearing that his friends at the Martial Eagle camp were killed. He begins hunting down the Jennings with a cold, machine-like efficiency reminiscent of The Terminator.

- Smug Super: He is one of the very few people who can show off to the Jennings couple and stand his ground.

Played By: Jeremy Davidson
Emmet and Leanne's son and killer.
- Beware the Quiet Ones: He kills his mother, father, and sister.
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: For most of season 2, Jared is portrayed as a victim whose parents and sister were murdered. In the season finale, however, we learn that Kate seduced and began training him to be a KGB spy, and he was so fanatical in his devotion to the cause that he murdered his parents (and also his sister, simply because she was in the wrong place at the wrong time).
- Greater-Scope Villain: Virtually all the problems the Jennings have to deal in Season 2 can be traced to his murder of his own family.
- Self-Made Orphan
- Walking Spoiler: The less said about Jared before watching the better.
