Season Five

Not much is revealed about Graham, and the only personal information he shares is that he has children. His organization conceived the Sentox plan eighteen months prior to Day 5, when a low-level associate, James Nathanson, recruited White House Chief of Staff Walt Cummings for the plot. They had apparently planned on using Cummings as a scapegoat, designed to draw suspicion away from themselves, President Charles Logan, and Christopher Henderson in the event that things went wrong. The plot did indeed go wrong, as in due course, Cummings was compromised, Nathanson was killed by the terrorists for "betraying" them, and Henderson and Logan's involvement was discovered by Jack Bauer. However, Graham and his cabal were safely insulated from the CTU investigation and from terrorist reprisal. James Nathanson is a character from the fifth season of the television series 24. ...

When Logan calls, Graham informs him that the First Lady, Charles' wife Martha Logan, is starting to become a problem. He wishes to deal with her, but the President says that he will handle it. When talking to his allies later in the episode, he states "...when we started this eighteen months ago..." Since Day 5 took place eighteen months after Day 4, this implies that their involvement began in the aftermath of Day Four, or may have possibly played a role in the events of Day 4. He makes sure that his allies are willing to continue with this operation, despite having taken many bumpy turns. When the President calls again, Graham tells him that he must make sure Martha Logan remains silent. He also congratulates the President on being able to handle the increasing suspicion while they watched from the sidelines, and "earning" their trust. When he learns that Jack Bauer takes over the plane and has the evidence around 3:00 am, he orders the President to shoot it down as a last ditch effort to prevent the evidence from being released. Martha Logan is a fictional character played by Jean Smart in the television series, 24. ... The fourth season, also known as Day 4 of the television series 24 premiered on January 9, 2005 and aired its season finale on May 23, 2005. ...

The plane ultimately lands safely and even though Logan claimed the U.S. Marines would apprehend Bauer when the plane landed, Bauer escaped with the recording. Graham and Logan implicitly agree that Logan must kill himself rather than subject the country to the scandal of a sitting president being charged for murder and treason. However, Graham learns shortly thereafter that Logan's suicide became unnecessary when the tape was unexpectedly eliminated.

Although Logan is eventually exposed and arrested, Graham appears to be unaffected, due partially to the fact that Bauer was illegally abducted by the Chinese before Graham could go after him. However, Graham expresses relief when he learns that Henderson was killed, probably because of one less person who could expose him. His fate, as well as Logan's to a lesser extent, is one of the cliffhangers that will be revealed in Season 6. For other uses, see Cliffhanger (disambiguation). ...

Graham's motivations, to create a smoking gun in Central Asia allowing the United States to increase their military force and secure a flow of oil from the region, are similar to those of Peter Kingsley and Max during Day 2, which also involved oil reserves and businesslike motives. Thus, it is possible that Graham works in the oil industry. Another possibility fans have discussed^{[weasel words]} is that Graham is a high-powered defense contractor, as he desired for a war to start in Central Asia. Another similarity is that at the end of the day, Graham and his associates remain at large (although, Jack Bauer does apprehend and kill Max in 24:The Game). As such, Graham and the other members of the conspiracy are not "terrorists", but "conspirators" whose actions slid against the key protagonists of the show. Peter Kingsley is a fictional character from the TV series 24. ... Max is a fictional character from the TV series 24. ... The second season of 24 was first broadcasted from October 2002 to May 2003. ...

Season Six

Graham first appears in Season 6 during episode 5, when Jack Bauer is seen to be interrogating him. The preview shown on FOX for the episode shows Graham telling terrorist mastermind Abu Fayed that "you should have killed Jack when you had the chance." Abu Fayed is a fictional character from the sixth season of the television series 24. ...

Trivia

• Due to Graham and his associate's heavy use of Bluetooth cellphones - and because no one is certain what or who these people are, fans refer to Graham and his group as the "BlueTooth Bandits," "BlueTooth Gang," "BlueTooth Mafia," or "The BlueTooth Group" (a pun on "The Blue Man Group"). Another name coined is "Covert Cabal," i.e., a hidden conspiracy. Many also call them "The Patriots" or alternately, "The Wisemen's Committee", which are references to a similar powerful, secretive organization in the PlayStation 2 game Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. Some have also referred to them as the "Three Wisemen", based on the fact there are three of them who seemed to be wise to the whole plot all along.

• In the Sentox Nerve Gas Conspiracy, Graham and his associates are the highest in the chain of command. They formulated the nerve gas plan and brought it to Charles Logan, who authorized it. Graham then most likely contacted associate James Nathanson, to set up the deal with Vladimir Bierko. Christopher Henderson, Logan's pointman, sent a shipment of nerve gas from his DoD company to Ontario Airport. Nathanson used his recruit, Walt Cummings, to reveal the location of the nerve gas to Vladimir Bierko's terrorists. From there, Nathanson & Bierko arranged the attack on the airport.

• Graham will be returning for season 6, making it likely that even more details about he and his family will be revealed.

• Graham can be seen in a trailer for Season 6 in which Jack Bauer appears to be grabbing him by the collar. Graham says to Jack "You're hurting me," to which Jack replies, "Trust me, I'm not."

• Graham appears on a sneak preview of 24 and is shown being interrogated by Jack on an unknown matter but is probably related to the recent nuclear explosion in 9:00am to 10:00am.
