Michael Scofield
A determined fugitive and creative genius, Michael is compelled to help those who arouse his compassion.
Michael never once doubted Lincoln’s innocence, dedicating himself to saving his brother from the electric
chair. Michael got himself thrown into prison and set to work on the escape, a map of which he'd had tattooed
onto his body. Prison life was quite a shock to Michael – he learnt that getting on the wrong side of a wrong
person can be deadly. Now on the run, the escape team’s lives are in Michael’s hands.
Lincoln Burrows
Lincoln danced on the wrong side of the law throughout his youth but getting sentenced to Death Row was never part
of his plan. After their mother’s death, Lincoln borrowed $90 000 for Michael’s education, pretending it was their
mother’s life insurance. He agreed to kill a drug dealer to repay the debt but ended up entwined in a dark plot to murder
the vice president's brother. Just when Lincoln had resigned himself to his fate, Michael showed up with his wild plan.
Learning his son LJ is in danger gives Lincoln the drive to run, no matter what.
Theodore Bagwell “T-Bag”
Rapist, serial killer and white supremacist T-Bag has barely known a life outside of confinement and was one of the most
vicious predators at Fox River. Before his arrival at Fox River, T-Bag embarked on a rape and murder spree across Alabama that
included several teenage victims and landed him on America’s Most Wanted. Ruthless T-Bag handcuffs himself to Michael for
insurance during the escape, to gruesome consequences.
Benjamin Franklin “C-Note”
An ex-soldier who served in Kuwait, C-Note was dishonorably discharged to stop him from reporting the torture of
prisoners. Desperate to provide for his wife and daughter, C-Note took a dodgy job transporting stolen goods. C-Note
caught on to the escape plan after watching Michael closely, and his thieving skills came in most handy behind bars.
C-Note told his family he had been transferred to Iraq, and kept the pretence up for years…until his mug appeared in
the papers as one of the Fox Fiver Eight.
Fernando Sucre
Brought up on the streets of Puerto Rico, Fernando is a hapless man from the wrong side of the track. Needing cash to
buy an engagement ring for his girlfriend Maricruz, Sucre robbed a liquor store and was thrown into Fox River. His cousin,
Hector tipped the police off, wanting Maricruz for himself. Sucre squirmed in prison as Hector got his hooks into Maricruz,
now pregnant with Sucre’s child. Not the sharpest tool in the box, Sucre was thankful for Michael’s help on the inside.
How will he survive on the outside?
David Apolksis “Tweener” - deceased
Pickpocket Tweener has spent his youth in and out of juvenile hall and worked as Bellick’s snitch in Fox River. Michael
cottoned on and made sure his tips didn’t pan out. As punishment, Bellick paired him with Avocado, a nasty piece of work
who raped him until Tweener castrated him with a razorblade. Michael came to the rescue. Tweener’s escape was largely
motivated by terror of Avocado’s retribution.
Charles Patoshik “Haywire” - deceased
Once a stand-out doctorate candidate in mathematics, the appropriately-named Haywire’s descent into mental illness led him
to murder his parents. While sharing Michael’s cell, Haywire twigged that his tattoos were more than mere decoration
and jumped aboard project breakout, only to desert his fellow inmates and pedal off into the night aboard a child’s bicycle.
John Abruzzi - deceased
A former Chicago mob boss, Abruzzi was Fox River’s most powerful inmate until his former partner, Falzone, pulled the
mob’s support. Abruzzi joined forces with Michael with the aim of wreaking revenge on Falzone. He had nothing to lose;
found guilty on two counts of murder, he would never have left the prison alive anyway. Abruzzi provided transport for
the escape team in return for information from Michael on Fibonacci, the man who testified against him. But the plan
backfired when the jet took off, leaving Abruzzi on the ground and on the run...
