Concept and Creation
Burn Notice creator Matt Nix said in a late 2010 interview
I'd known a guy named Michael Wilson for a long time, who is a consultant on the show and has a background in private intelligence. There are aspects of Michael Weston that are inspired, but he's also a combination of many influences.

Or indeed, from Michael Wilson's head. The character's not meant to be him.Read more about this topic: Michael Westen
