Emily Sullivan Biography & Facts

This is a list of characters from the television series Jericho, which premiered in 2006 on CBS in the United States. Main characters Jake Green Portrayed by Skeet Ulrich Appears in: Season 1, Season 2 Status: Alive Johnston Jacob "Jake" Green, Jr. is the oldest son of the Green family, as it was stated on the CBS website, and the principal character of the series. Jake was once a member of Jonah Prowse's group of survivalists; and, after a botched armed robbery job, in which Chris Sullivan (Jonah's son and the brother of Jake's girlfriend, Emily Sullivan) was killed, Jake fled Jericho. Five years later, Jake returned to Jericho to pay his respects to his recently deceased grandfather and to claim the money his grandfather left him. Because of the problems in their relationship, his father refused to hand over the money; and Jake was leaving town again when he witnessed the destruction of Denver. Jake was initially an unlikely hero, but his checkered past helped in Jericho's trying times. He took charge of getting people to safety and eventually people came to look upon him as a leader. He and his father repaired their relationship and with his father's blessing, Jake put together the Jericho Rangers to help keep Jericho safe. Jake frequently left Jericho for supplies or information and on other missions—including rescuing his brother from New Bern, training the Rangers in gun skills and defending the town from Ravenwood, a private military company and the New Bern Army. Although he is impulsive, he is also intelligent, often coming up with ideas that help the town. In Season 2, with the garrisoning and reconstruction of Jericho by the Allied States of America (ASA) Army, the garrison commander and chief administrator, Major Edward Beck, recognized Jake as one the others follow and listen to in the heat of conflict and appointed him Sheriff. Jake and the rest of Jericho witnessed the domination of the ASA and Jennings & Rall (J&R) over the town and the country at large, with Jake knowing first-hand how dangerous J&R was when it came to business dealings. Having previously been deliberately misleading and vague about his past, Jake came clean to Eric and explained what he did during his absence. Jake worked as a private military contractor for J&R in Iraq and Afghanistan, which explains how Jake is shown to be accurate with a revolver at a distance. He left the service of J&R and vowed never to return after he took part in a massacre in Iraq with other Ravenwood mercenaries and his passport is flagged for non-cooperation on an undercover mission against Ravenwood. The incident has haunted him, as he killed several innocent civilians, including a little girl. Jake graduated from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (prior to leaving Jericho for five years). He had initially started flying with his grandfather when he was a teen, and has over 1,500 flight hours. Jake secretly worked with Robert Hawkins, whom he eventually saw as a friend, to get the last remaining nuclear bomb from the September Attacks to the Independent Republic of Texas. They expose the conspiracy behind the attacks but inadvertently start the Second American Civil War. Rob Hawkins Portrayed by Lennie James Appears in: Season 1, Season 2 Status: Alive Robert "Rob" Hawkins was, during most of Season 1, an enigma, with no one sure whether he was a goodie or a baddie. He had secrets he was unwilling to share, even with his family. His history had estranged him from his wife and children but they are the only ones he cares about—when he realized the September Attacks were coming, his first thought was to get them to safety. Hawkins moved to Jericho with his wife, Darcy and his two children, Alison and Samuel, three days before the attacks. He paid cash for the "Thompson house", leading to much gossip around the town about his background. Hawkins claimed he was a former police officer from St. Louis, Missouri and explains his knowledge and expertise comes from having received training from the Department of Homeland Security after the September 11, 2001, attacks. The family had really been living in Washington, D.C. When cornered, Hawkins claimed to be working undercover for the FBI to learn more about "suspicious contacts in this area" that may be linked to the Attacks. Unknown to the rest of the town, Hawkins is deeply involved in clandestine activities. These include secret communications with unknown persons through a locked laptop computer, the monitoring of shortwave radio messages and the storage of a large unmarked barrel containing the 20-kiloton (kt) nuclear device that he was assigned to deliver to Columbus, Ohio, and detonate. He is later contacted by his associates, who know that he is lying to them. Though his family initially did not know the truth, they keep a low profile and constantly rehearse their cover story but, eventually, he reveals the truth to them and to Jake that he is a CIA deep-cover covert operations officer and a U.S. government agent who took part in Project Red Bell, a task force sent to recover a shipment of stolen Russian warheads and stop the bombing. Even though he failed in that, he still had one of the bombs, which could be used to uncover the conspiracy that started it all. Hawkins proves his loyalty to Jericho over the course of Season 1. In Season 2, Hawkins and Jericho saw the rise of the ASA and its dominance over the country. Seeing the ASA was attempting to dominate the country and bury the truth behind the Attacks, Hawkins and Jake teamed up to deliver the bomb to the Independent Republic of Texas to expose the conspiracy, which started the Second American Civil War.
