• Brian Hastings played by Mykelti Williamson is the director of CTU New York in season 8. He is shown to have an uneasy relationship with Chloe O'Brian, rejecting her belief that arrested journalist Meredith Reed was innocent, though when she was proved right he admitted his mistake in not trusting her. Hastings also authorised Renee Walker to go back undercover in the Russian mob in the hopes of locating the missing nuclear rods, despite Jack's protests. In the shake-up of CTU which followed the numerous mistakes made during the day, in particular the failure to prevent the murder of President Omar Hassan and his recruitment of Dana Walsh, who turned out to be a Russian spy, he was demoted and replaced by O'Brian.

• Cole Ortiz - played by Freddie Prinze, Jr.. Cole was the Director of Field Operations for CTU New York . Cole was in a relationship with CTU chief data analyst Dana Walsh and the two were engaged to be married. He headed several field operations for the agency, but also covered up the shootings of two criminals in an effort to protect Dana. When he discovered that Dana was a mole, he was devastated by her betrayal.

• Dana Walsh played by Katee Sackhoff. Dana is introduced as a competent and highly regarded analyst at CTU New York, and the fiancee of Cole Ortiz. As the season unfolds it emerges that she has a hidden criminal past, which her ex-boyfriend Kevin is using to blackmail her. He and his criminal friend force her to help them steal $120,000 from a police lock-up by providing security clearance and codes. When the two men were later killed in a shoot-out, Ortiz helped her cover it up. Kevin's parole officer later appeared asking awkward questions and she suspected that he knew of her involvement in the robbery. Using the cover of the EMP detonation at CTU, she strangled him and hid his body in a vent. Dana was subsequently outed as a Russian agent assisting the terrorists when Jack Bauer found her number on Tarin's phone. In return for a Presidential pardon, she tells Jack of a data file she made which proves the involvement of members of the Russian government in Omar Hassan's assassination. Disgraced ex-President Charles Logan persuades incumbent Allison Taylor that the location of the data chip can instead be tortured out of Dana, thus preventing it derailing the upcoming Middle East peace treaty and she is transported away from CTU for interrogation. Jack and Cole rescue Dana and she takes them to a bank vault containing the chip, and although she escapes Jack traps her again. Refusing her pleas to make another deal and with Renee's murder still on his mind, he shoots her dead.
