Eric Carter

Eric Carter's History

Eric Carter, officially living under the witness protection name Cooper, was a decorated former United States Army Ranger squad leader who led a team sent to Yemen to capture the terrorist Ibrahim Bin-Khalid.

Six months later, while trying to readjust to civilian life under a new identity, Eric and his wife Nicole were attacked in their home by followers of Bin-Khalid, who were searching for a strongbox his teammate had stolen from the compound the night of the raid. With his family's safety compromised, Carter was forced to seek help from ex-CTU director Rebecca Ingram to investigate the matter. Carter soon became involved in CTU's effort to locate Bin-Khalid's son and stop his plot to set off sleeper cell attacks throughout the United States. After the plot was successfully foiled, Carter planned to join CTU as a new recruit.
