During the show's fourth season, Logan is the Vice-President of the United States who is sworn into office as Acting President after President John Keeler is critically injured in a terrorist attack.

Early in Season 5, Logan's wife Martha mentions that she was often consulted by Logan while he was in Congress. Although Logan's bio on the FOX 24 website suggests he served in the California State Legislature, Martha mentions in Episode 2 of Day 5 that he served as a U.S. Representative in Washington D.C. during at least one of David Palmer's term in Congress, where he first met the Logans.

Acting President

Logan was in Washington D.C. when it was learned that Captain Mitch Anderson, a disgraced Air Force pilot working for terrorist leader Habib Marwan, had commandeered a stealth fighter with the intention of shooting down Air Force One. President Keeler contacted Logan, telling him that if the worst should occur, to consider Keeler a casualty and continue forward. Logan was visibly troubled by this and assured Keeler it would not come to that, apparently as much for his own peace of mind as the President's.

Unfortunately efforts to neutralize the stealth fighter or to convince its pilot to stand down in time failed. The stealth fighter was shot down by Air Force One's escort planes but not before Anderson managed to score an indirect missile hit on Air Force One. The fatally damaged plane made a crash-landing and the President's status was not immediately known. Though President Keeler was located alive, his injuries were critical and required immediate attention. With President Keeler incapacitated, the cabinet unanimously voted to invoke the 25th Amendment, appointing Logan Acting President with full executive authority.

Immediately after being sworn in, Logan was informed by one of his senior advisors (Mike Novick) that Marwan and his people had managed to recover several of the codes to the nation's nuclear arsenal. While Marwan's people managed to steal a nuclear warhead and successfully launched it on board a missile, government forces, in particular the Counter Terrorist Unit in Los Angeles, were desperately tracking Marwan.

Leadership difficulties

Unfortunately, Logan soon proved unprepared for the grave responsibility that had been thrust upon him or for the grave threat he had inherited. One clear example of this occurred when CTU personnel arrested Joe Prado, an American civilian who had worked for Marwan. After an attorney on Prado's behalf demanded that he be charged with a crime or released, Logan seemed hesitant to face the political risk of continuing to detain Prado, despite the insistence of CTU and of Mike Novick that Prado was their only link to Marwan and their only hope of finding him in time.

Unwilling to let Logan waste precious time while coming to a decision, CTU agent Jack Bauer convinced his superiors to release Prado, then, acting on his own, proceeded to torture Prado until he revealed one of Marwan's hiding places. Logan, furious that Bauer had acted without his approval, dispatched the Secret Service to arrest him. Unfortunately they reached Bauer during an operation to capture Marwan and their interruption allowed Marwan to escape.

Because of both the secrecy of secret services and the controversial nature of the issues involved, there is some difficulty in separating the definitions of secret service, secret police, intelligence agency etc. ...

For a time, at least, Logan appeared to admit his own inability to govern during this crisis. In response, Novick suggested recruiting someone who had faced similar crises in the past and prevailed: former President David Palmer. David Palmer was a fictional President of the United States of America played by Dennis Haysbert as part of the television series, 24. ...

Though Logan initially welcomed Palmer's counsel, as hours passed, Logan became increasingly isolated while Palmer and Novick would assume a more active role in leading the search for Marwan. This soon became clear to Logan, though he could not bring himself to ask Palmer to leave.

Eventually CTU forces were able to locate Marwan. Though he killed himself to avoid capture, they were able to use his equipment to track the missile and shoot it down before it reached its target. Despite his awkward handling of the situation and his eagerness to pass responsibility onto others, Logan was quick to accept credit and congratulations from various officials for his presumed handling of the crises. His only concession to Palmer was a condescending private statement that he had "played a role".

Logan often becomes flustered and is unable to deal with the high stress of his office; he admits to his wife in season 5 that he doesn't know how much more he will be able to take and relies on the Vice President, Hal Gardner, for ideas and support. Hal Gardner is a fictional character from the TV series 24, played by Ray Wise. ...

The Chinese crisis

In the midst of the crisis, a second one emerged when Palmer authorized a covert CTU operation led by Bauer to extract Lee Jong, a Chinese citizen and associate of Marwan's, from the Chinese consulate in Los Angeles. During the incident, the Chinese Consul was killed by friendly fire.

Chinese officials eventually linked the operation back to Jack Bauer and demanded his extradition. Walt Cummings, Logan's security aide, pointed out the danger of turning someone with Bauer's knowledge over to the Chinese. He suggested arranging Bauer's murder to prevent this. Though Logan vocally rejected this proposal in front of Palmer and Novick, Novick later overheard a phone conversation in which Cummings ordered the Secret Service agent sent to pick up Bauer to kill him before the transfer.

Novick warned Palmer, who in turn informed Logan. Logan's refusal to intervene confirmed their suspicion that this was what Logan wanted all along. After warning Bauer of the situation, Bauer and several associates at CTU arranged a scenario in which Bauer appeared to have been killed while trying to escape. While Bauer went into hiding, Logan believed the situation had been taken care of, unaware of the truth.

Season 5

Logan is still president at the start of season 5 (Keeler's fate remains unknown). He is currently operating from the Presidential retreat near Los Angeles.

Logan is meeting the Russian president to sign an anti-terrorism defense treaty. Logan, seeing the treaty as the highlight of his Presidency will not permit any delays. He is startled by news of the assassination of President Palmer but insists the signing continue on schedule. The situation is further complicated when a group of east-European separatists attack a nearby airport and take several hostages. They demand the treaty be renounced or they will begin executing hostages. Logan immediately orders CTU to organize a rescue.

Another complication comes from Logan's wife, First Lady Martha Logan. Martha insists Palmer had tried to contact her to warn her of a possible attack. Logan is sympathetic but is skeptical given her history of mental illness. He eventually agrees to have her sent away to a mental health facility. First Lady is an unofficial term that is sometimes applied to the female spouse of a male head of state or head of government. ... Martha Logan is a fictional character played by Jean Smart in the television series, 24. ...

CTU is ultimately successful in rescuing the hostages and the treaty is signed on schedule, though one terrorist, a sleeper posing as one of the hostages, manages to escape with a large shipment of nerve gas.

Soon after, Walt Cummings (now Logan's Chief of Staff) comes to Logan and admits his involvement in everything that has happened but insists it to be for a greater good. He claims the nerve gas will be released before it can threaten any American or Russian targets. Cummings' claims the nerve gas threat will provide a justification for a stronger U.S. presence in Asia and promote a greater acquisition of oil from the region. Cummings tells him the American agent monitoring the nerve gas has gone dark and even Cummings cannot stop him now. Logan is appalled but does not see any way out of the situation. To meet Wikipedias quality standards, this article or section may require cleanup. ...

Meanwhile, Jack Bauer, who had emerged from hiding to find who had ordered Palmer's assassination, has discovered Cummings was involved and knew more that he had told Logan. After Jack manages to convince Secret Service agent Aaron Pierce to let him speak with the President, he is able to reveal the truth to Logan. Logan promptly orders Cummings arrested. Unfortunately when government forces move in on the location of the nerve gas, they find it missing and the American agent dead. The terrorists had apparently discovered Cummings's plan. Because of both the secrecy of secret services and the controversial nature of the issues involved, there is some difficulty in separating the definitions of secret service, secret police, intelligence agency etc. ... Aaron Pierce is a fictional character on the television series 24, played by actor Glenn Morshower. ...

Logan has Jack temporarily reinstated with CTU, though both men agreed he will have to go back into hiding once the crisis passed, as the Chinese would still likely demand his extradition.

Logan also manages to stop his wife before she left the retreat. She initially reacts coldly to him for not having trusted her, though the two would soon reconcile and set about drafting a public statement about Cummings' actions, though this is interrupted when Mike Novick informs them that Cummings had been found dead of an apparent suicide. It is unclear however whether Cummings in fact committed suicide, or whether Logan, or a fellow conspirator eliminated Cummings to avoid public release of a statement documenting Cummings' involvement in the nerve gas conspiracy. Following Cummings' death, Logan decides against the release of the statement and avoids any political fallout. Mike Novick is a fictional character played by Jude Ciccolella as part of the television series, 24. ... Suicide (from Latin sui caedere, to kill oneself) is the act of willfully ending ones own life. ...

Later on, the terrorists, led at the time by Ivan Erwich, took a canister of the nerve gas into a mall in Los Angeles. Bill Buchanan and Lynn McGill urged Logan to allow them to use the gas in the mall, potentially killing up to 900 people, hoping they could catch the terrorists and find the other 19 canisters of Nerve Gas. Despite Audrey Raines and his wife's insistence that he not allow the mall to be gassed, he decided to go with the CTU heads' recommendation. Due to intervention from Jack Bauer, acting undercover, many lives were saved in this incident and only 11 people were killed. Despite Logan's relief, he does not deny that he is responsible for those deaths.

Immediately thereafter, Vladimir Bierko, head of the Russian separatists, forced Logan to make a critical decision; give up the Russian President's motorcade route or risk the launch of the 19 remaining nerve gas containers on US soil. After several minutes of discussion with his wife and advisors, Logan decides to provide the terrorists with the route. However, as the motorcade departs, Logan's wife decides to join the motorcade behind his back. Logan is shown agonizing over the decision to not turn back the motorcade, and prays with Mike Novick that the Russian President, his wife, and Mrs. Logan not be killed by the terrorists. His prayers are answered when CTU notifies the motorcade in the nick of time. However, the terrorists have broken off the deal and will now commence targeting civilians. After this, Logan receives a surprise visit from Vice-President Hal Gardner, who suggests that Logan implement martial law until the terrorists are stopped. At 8:05 p.m., Logan implements martial law, much to the dismay of Martha and a portion of the American public.

By 11:00 p.m. on Day 5, it is revealed that Charles Logan is orchestrating (or at least approving of) all of the actions of Christopher Henderson. President Logan is complicit in the assassination of David Palmer, Michelle Dessler, and the attempted murder of Wayne Palmer who was seeking to determine the White House's involvement in his brother's death. He also authorized Henderson to frame Bauer for Palmer's death. In addition, through Henderson, he coordinated the hostage situation at Ontario Airport to give the terrorists time to seize the Sentox canisters.

Logan discloses to Henderson at about 11:05 p.m. that the events of the day had gone horribly wrong, as he had never meant for the terrorists to activate the canisters or for innocent American lives to be lost. Indeed, Logan's motivations align with those of James Nathanson; both men intended to eliminate the Russian separatists in order to increase America's interests in Central Asia. James Nathanson is a character from the fifth season of the television series 24. ...

It is unknown why Logan became furious at Walt Cummings, who also revealed himself helping the terrorists to acquire the Sentox nerve gas. If Logan actually was the mastermind of the nerve gas conspiracy he would know that Cummings was involved. He accused him for the murder of David Palmer, but in fact, Logan ordered Christopher Henderson to frame Bauer for that murder. However, it can be assumed that Logan was expressing manufactured outrage at the discovery of Cumming's dealings, as he was using Henderson to completely insulate himself from everyone else involved in the plot, to the point that not even Cummings knew of Logan's involvement, and to express anything other than outrage at Cumming's treasonous actions would reveal his own cards.

When the terrorist threat was finally thwarted by CTU shortly before 10:00 p.m., Logan turns his total attention to eliminating all evidence connecting him to the day's events. Specifically, Logan orders Henderson to stop Bauer and Wayne Palmer from recovering an audio tape in which he reveals his involvement in Palmer's death. Martha Logan's aide had hidden the audio tape in a safety deposit box in a bank. To meet Wikipedias quality standards, this article or section may require cleanup. ...

Logan telephones Karen Hayes at CTU to notify that he was issuing an executive warrant against Bauer for the murder of David Palmer. When questioned as to the reasons for the warrant, Logan claims he has new "evidence" which he will disclose after Bauer is in custody. Karen Hayes is a fictional character on the television program 24 portrayed by actress Jayne Atkinson. ...

Later in the hour, Logan attempts to placate Vice President Hal Gardner who had been put in charge of overseeing CTU through the terrorist crisis. Gardner claims that Bauer is a hero, but Logan again maintains that there is new evidence implicating Bauer. He tells Gardner not to question his authority. Hal Gardner is a fictional character from the TV series 24, played by Ray Wise. ...

Henderson and his men attempt to kill Bauer and Palmer as they exit the bank, but Bauer trips the bank's alarm, bringing the Los Angeles Police Department and the military, who engage Henderson's men in gunfire, and allow Bauer and Palmer the opportunity to escape in a squad car with the tape. Bauer then heads to Van Nuys Airport to hand off the tape to Secretary of Defense James Heller, with the intent to bring down Logan. Parker Center-LAPDs Headquarters LAPD redirects here. ... Van Nuys Airport (IATA: VNY,ICAO: KVNY) is a public airport located in Van Nuys, California in the San Fernando Valley, within the Los Angeles city limits. ...

James Heller is a fictional character from the TV series 24, played by William Devane. ...

Through Homeland Security, operating out of CTU, Logan learns that Bauer is at the airport. While Henderson is en route to the airport, Heller contacts the president to alert him that he will be at the retreat promptly. With time running out before Heller exposes Logan, Henderson is able to take Audrey hostage and force Jack to surrender the audio tape. Logan is almost forced to confess to Vice President Gardner, but Henderson alerts him that the evidence has been recovered in the nick of time. Logan then tells Gardner that he summoned him because Heller will be resigning for falsely accusing the president of killing David Palmer.

Later, the apparent mastermind is revealed to be a man named Graham. He orders Logan to silence Martha, who knows too much. Logan confesses to Martha his culpability in Palmer's death and implores her to remain quiet for the good of the country. Logan tries one final time to control the situation, when Jack Bauer hijacks a 727 plane being co-piloted by the man who has the recording. Graham fakes a VCI signal from the plane, giving Logan the pretense to shoot the plane down. He tries to appear reluctant to do this, but when the plane appears to begin landing, he tries to order the plane shot down immediately, drawing the suspicion of Mike Novick. After the plane lands and Bauer gets away, Logan and Graham come to the conclusion that Logan must commit suicide, rather than face a trial. Logan first visits Martha's room, apologizes for hurting her and begs forgiveness. She tells him that she is horrified to be married to him. Despondent, Logan returns to his office and prepares to pull the trigger. Just before he can finish, Logan receives a call from Miles Papazian, telling him that he will intervene and stop the recording from being made available to the United States Attorney General. Logan tells Miles that he approves of the action and will not forget him. Logan then hangs up and puts the gun back in its case.

Logan then begins tying up all remaining loose ends. He alerts Karen Hayes that he is now canceling the arrest warrant for Jack Bauer, intending for him to be eliminated once he is in the open. Logan also meets with Aaron Pierce, whom he had taken prisoner before he could meet with Martha several hours earlier. Pierce refuses any deal with Logan and calls him a "disgrace to the office." Logan orders Agent Adams to kill Pierce. Karen Hayes is a fictional character on the television program 24 portrayed by actress Jayne Atkinson. ...

Martha helps Pierce escape and then gets in contact with Michael Novick. He asks her to stall Logan until Bauer can arrive to hijack Marine One, which is about to take him to the military base where the body of David Palmer is being loaded onto a plane. She does so, allowing Bauer to abduct Logan and attempt unsuccessfully to extract a confession from him. However, unbeknownst to the president, Jack placed a microtransceiver in Logan's pen while frisking him. As Palmer's casket arrives, Martha accuses her husband publicly, calling him a murderer. Logan goes indoors and strikes Martha, incriminating himself by admitting to involvement in Palmer's assassination and the murders committed to cover it up. The transmission from the microtransceiver is passed on to the Secret Service without the knowledge of Karen Hayes or Bill Buchanan. After Logan delivers a eulogy filled with lies to David Palmer, he is taken into custody by the Secret Service, and glares at Martha Logan and Mike Novick with a defeated look as he gets into the limo, but gets some degree of success, as Jack is captured by Chinese agents headed by Cheng Zhi.

Charles Logan's fate is not clearly known, although Karen Hayes strongly suggests to Bill Buchanan that Logan will ultimately be granted clemency for his treasonous actions and killings in exchange for his immediate resignation, in order to protect the country from the shock and embarrassment of impeachment and a trial.

Characteristics

The actor Itzin portrays Logan as an "abject coward" of a President, incapable of making a quick decision and agonizing and second-guessing the results thereafter. He relies on the recommendations of his advisors and panics when the advisors do not offer enough advice. In real life, Itzin is often commended for his portrayal of a weak President. Logan played his part as an undercover conspirator brilliantly, coming out as a shock when the news was first released.[2]

After Season 5 revealed that Logan was behind the backfiring conspiracy, show executive producer Evan Katz said that the President was more of a man hiding a secret and was just being a little smarter about how he projects himself. Star Kiefer Sutherland also noted that people like Logan who are underestimated can become very dangerous because it gives them a sort of cover.
