Micael Amador's name first appeared chronologically in 24: The Game during Nina Myers brief cameo in the game. His name was on her computer screen, a precursor of the events of Day 3. Nina Myers is a fictional character on the television series, 24, played by Sarah Clarke. ... The third season of the television series 24 was first broadcast from October 2003 to May 2004. ...

Michael Amador was introduced as a seller of the Cordilla virus, which he presumably acquired from rogue scientists. He was to meet with Ramon Salazar and Jack Bauer in Mexico to sell the virus. However, these plans were changed when Nina Myers appeared, also looking to purchase the virus. Amador held an auction for the virus, with Myers' bid of $240 million besting Jack's $225 million.

Jack later convinced Nina to help him retrieve the virus for $20 million, and the exchange between Amador and Myers was completed. However, the Delta Force and Chase Edmunds moved in after Salazar, now in possession of the virus, tried to kill Jack. When Jack and Chase pursued Salazar, it was revealed that the virus was a fake, the vial actually contained an explosive which killed Salazar. Amid this chaos, Nina almost escaped, and Amador was trapped. However, his own team of marksmen took out the Delta team, and Amador escaped. The 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta (Airborne) (1st SFOD-D (A)), commonly known as Delta within the U.S. Army or Delta Force by the general public, (and known in the Pentagon officially as the Combat Applications Group) is a Special Operations Force (SOF) of the Joint Special Operations... Chase Edmunds is a fictional character (played by James Badge Dale) who was a high-ranking agent in the Los Angeles Counter Terrorist Unit on Foxs 24. ...


Amador then traveled to Los Angeles, where he delivered the real virus to Stephen Saunders at a nightclub, revealing that Amador's actions in Mexico were to gain extra money for himself. Saunders left the club, while Jack and Chase closed in on Amador's location. Amador was eventually ambushed and taken in to CTU custody. Stephen Saunders is a character on the television series 24. ... CTU stands for Counter Terrorist Unit and is a fictional U.S. government agency under the jurisdiction of the C.I.A. in the television action series 24. ...


Still in the club, Amador was interrogated and tortured by Jack and Chase, who demanded to know the location of the virus. Amador delivered a cryptic warning to Jack, saying that he "has no idea" what he's up against (Amador was speaking of Saunders, who was previously involved in Operation Nightfall with Jack before Day One). Amador was offered protection for himself and his family, but he still refused. The palm of his hand was slit in the questioning, and Amador passed out. Operation Nightfall is an operation. ...


The Chandler Plaza hotel's entire security layout was discovered on Amador's laptop, which allowed CTU to act and intercept the Cordilla virus. Though CTU was able to act and contain the virus, almost everybody inside the hotel was lost.


Amador awoke and again refused to tell who he was working for. While Jack and Chase went to analyze an incubator found at the nightclub, Amador was hand-cuffed to a pipe in the adjacent room. Amador managed to release himself from the pipe and escape, but Kim Bauer at CTU was able to track Amador's escape on a transponder planted on Amador's bandage. Kim informed Jack and Chase, who began to follow Amador, running parallel to Amador's location. The word incubation (from Latin incubare, to lie upon - cf. ... Kimberly Bauer is a fictional character played by Elisha Cuthbert on the television series 24. ...


Amador called Saunders, reporting himself being detained but escaping from CTU agents. Saunders, curious, asked if Jack Bauer was one of the agents, which Amador confirmed. Amador then took evasive actions at Saunders's request, attempting to throw off Jack and Chase.


Amador met with one of Saunders' men for transport and funds to escape the country. He was given a briefcase, supposedly containing his money and travel papers. However, inside the case was a bomb rigged with plastic explosives, which went off immediately after being opened. Amador was incinerated, presumably because of both Saunders' disappointment of his greed and suspicion of him being trailed by Jack. Plastic explosive (or plastique) is a specialised form of explosive material. ...
