SSA Jennifer "JJ" Jareau (born November 22, 1981) originally acted as the team's Communication Liaison with the media and local police agencies and later turned to a full-time agent in the field after returning from the Pentagon. She has two sons with her now husband Detective William LaMontagne Jr. (Josh Stewart), whom she met while the team was working a case in New Orleans in the season two episode "Jones" and married at the end of the season seven two-part finale, "Hit and Run". In the second episode of season six, JJ was forced to take a promotion to the Pentagon and left the team for the rest of the season. When JJ leaves the BAU for a promotion to a position at the Pentagon, Garcia and Hotch take up her responsibilities as media liaison, and Garcia retains this position when JJ returns to the BAU as a profiler. Jennifer returned to the show in the episode entitled "Lauren", in which she receives a call and returns to help the BAU find Emily Prentiss and capture Ian Doyle before it is too late. When Emily is stabbed by Doyle and rushed to a hospital, Jennifer announces she did not survive. However, it is later revealed that Emily is alive and Jennifer meets her at a cafe in Paris, where she provides her with three passports and bank accounts to start a new life in hiding. She returns once again in the season six finale before returning as a main character again in season seven. In the finale of season 14, JJ reveals to Reid that she always loved him during a hostage situation. In season 15, episode 1 "Under the Skin" JJ was shot and rushed to hospital. She recovered after surgery and in episode 2 "Awakenings" JJ and Reid discussed the hostage situation where JJ admitted she loved Reid but she also loved Will and her kids. They both agreed to be friends. In 2015, the actress announced she was expecting her second child, which was written into JJ's storyline. The character's children are portrayed by A.J.

SA Penelope Garcia, the BAU's technical analyst, has been present in the series since the first season. She is portrayed as a bubbly and kind character who often comforts her team and shares a playful, flirty, but platonic relationship with SSA Morgan. Penelope's mother remarried into the Garcia family, and she has a brother named Carlos. After losing her parents to a drunk driver, she embraced Mexican traditions from her stepfather's heritage despite being of English descent. Self-taught in hacking after dropping out of college, Garcia became one of the world's top underground hackers. When caught by the FBI, she was offered a choice: prison or working for the BAU as an analyst. In "Penelope," Garcia survives being shot, a pivotal moment in her storyline. After JJ's temporary departure, she briefly takes on the role of media liaison, adopting a new look but quickly realizing the job isn't for her. She resumes her analyst role, though she retains some liaison duties when JJ returns. Her background is explored in episodes like "The Black Queen," where flashbacks show her goth past and the guilt she feels over her hacking days. She even agrees to act as bait to catch her hacker ex-boyfriend, though she vows never to revisit that part of her life.

Intelligent and fluent in multiple languages, Prentiss gradually becomes a core member of the team. Prentiss experienced many difficulties in her childhood, including social isolation, loneliness, and receiving an abortion at the age of 15. Prentiss's storyline takes a darker turn in Season 6 when her past at Interpol resurfaces. After receiving unsettling warnings and finding her home invaded, she discovers she is being targeted by her nemesis, Ian Doyle. Faking her death with help from Hotch and JJ, she temporarily leaves the team, returning in Season 7 to confront Doyle. By the season's end, she departs again to lead Interpol in London. She makes notable returns in the series, including the 200th episode to rescue SSA Jennifer Jareau and in Season 11 to assist with a serial killer case. After the termination of Thomas Gibson (actor of Aaron Hotchner), Brewster rejoined as a series regular in Season 12, assuming Hotch's previous role of Unit Chief. She was promoted to be the FBI Section Chief with oversight over the BAU at the end of Season 15.

Senior SSA David Rossi, a "'founding father' of the BAU", was in early retirement from 1997 until his voluntary return to the BAU in 2007, replacing Jason Gideon, who had abruptly resigned from the BAU. He had retired in order to write books and go on lecture tours, but he returned to settle some unfinished business that was not immediately specified. It was later revealed that the case involved three young children whose parents had been murdered in a possible home-invasion case that had remained unsolved. This case haunted Rossi for twenty years and prompted him to return to the BAU, where he eventually solved it. He served in the Vietnam War and lost a close friend, which was revealed in a series of flashbacks.
Tara Lewis Aisha Tyler 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 BAU Supervisory Special Agent, Former FBI Forensic Psychologist
SSA Dr. Tara Lewis is a forensic psychologist and Supervisory Special Agent in the BAU, introduced in Season 11 as a recurring character before becoming a series regular in Season 12. A highly intelligent and driven individual, Tara is known for her expertise in interviewing psychopathic criminals to assess their fitness for trial. Her background includes a challenging childhood marked by her father's military service, her mother's death from cancer, and bullying she endured while living in Germany. She shares a complicated relationship with her brother Gabriel, who became estranged after a series of personal conflicts. Tara's personal life is layered with complex relationships, including a brief marriage during her collegiate years, a failed engagement, and a current relationship with Rebecca Wilson from the Department of Justice. Tara is bisexual and openly discusses her past relationships with both men and women. Tara has faced numerous professional challenges, including surviving a near-fatal car crash orchestrated by Peter Lewis, profiling high-profile unsubs, and navigating the dissolution and reformation of the BAU.
Luke Alvez Adam Rodriguez 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 BAU Supervisory Special Agent, Former FBI Fugitive Task Force Agent, Former U.S. Army Ranger
Played by former CSI: Miami star Adam Rodriguez, Supervisory Special Agent Alvez is a profiler in the BAU who was previously a member of the FBI Fugitive Task Force that partnered with the BAU to catch serial killers that escaped in the Season 11 finale. In the Season 12 premiere, he works with the BAU to catch the "Crimson King", one of the escapees that attacked Alvez's old partner. The team discovers the real killer is "Mr. Scratch," who taunts the team by turning over the real "Crimson King", who was tortured to the point he no longer remembered who he was. Alvez then decides to join the BAU full-time and was Hotch's last hire. Alvez has a dog named Roxy (whom Garcia thought at first was his human girlfriend) and served in Iraq as an Army Ranger prior to joining the FBI.[3]
Tyler Green Ryan-James Hatanaka 16, 17, 18 FBI Agent, BAU Consultant, Former U.S. Army Drone Spotter
Tyler Green is a former military intelligence officer turned vigilante. Dishonorably discharged after posting drone strike aftermath videos online, Green's life took a dark turn when his sister, Alison, was murdered by serial killer Elias Voit. Consumed by grief and seeking justice, Green infiltrated Voit's network of serial killers, gathering evidence and attempting to lure Voit into a trap. Green's obsessive quest for revenge brought him into conflict with the BAU, particularly Penelope Garcia (who he also had romantic and sexual encounters with), to whom he anonymously provided information. Despite his defiance and mistrust of authority, Green ultimately collaborated with the team, sharing critical insights into Voit's operations while struggling with PTSD and guilt over his sister's death.
Elias Voit Zach Gilford 16, 17, 18 Serial-killer, Criminal, Former Network Security Analyst
Elias Jasper Voit, also known as "Sicarius," is the main antagonist of Criminal Minds: Evolution. A prolific and methodical serial killer, Voit operated a vast network of murderers across the U.S., using his expertise in encryption and manipulation to maintain control. Born Lee Duval, Voit endured severe childhood abuse that shaped his violent tendencies. He concealed his crimes behind a family life with an unsuspecting wife and daughters, while storing and torturing victims in hidden locations. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Voit expanded his operations by recruiting killers online, providing "kill kits" and guidance in exchange for financial support. His signature methods included diverse and brutal killings, from dismemberment to poisoning, with a recurring tactic of using spiders as a murder weapon. Driven by his psychopathy and need for control, Voit's intricate schemes brought him into direct conflict with the BAU.

Former main characters

Name Actor Seasons Occupation(s)
Elle Greenaway Lola Glaudini 1, 2 Former BAU Supervisory Special Agent
Played by Lola Glaudini, SSA Elle Greenaway was formerly assigned to FBI Field Office in Seattle, Washington, and was assigned to the BAU, being an expert in sexual offense crimes. Her father was a police officer but was killed in the line of duty. She is half Cuban and speaks Spanish. She is shot by an unsub.E122 Though she physically recovers, the event leaves her with psychological scars.E201 As a result of those scars, Elle begins acting even more harshly in season two, especially during a case involving a serial rapist.E205 Ultimately, she kills the suspect before he could even be properly arrested.E205 During this episode, she mentions that the unsub wrote on the wall with her blood from the wound.E205 She hands in her badge and gun in the episode "The Boogeyman", saying that it is not an admission of guilt.
Jason Gideon Mandy Patinkin 1, 2, 3 Former BAU Senior Supervisory Special Agent
SSA Jason Gideon, one of the "founding fathers" of the BAU alongside Rossi, is considered having been the BAU's most skilled profiler. He helped Derek Morgan and Spencer Reid through their nightmares. He was shown to have a very close relationship with Reid, having hand-picked him from the FBI Academy for his team, helping Reid through many difficulties (including his implied drug use), and even leaving the good-bye letter for Reid to find. Gideon did not know Garcia well, as expressed through an episode wherein he is placed with her while he is on crutches; after they are placed, Penelope Garcia complains about him, and he doesn't know her name. Through the first two seasons, Gideon was portrayed to be very good at chess, winning against Reid many times (only exception being Reid's birthdayE104) and encouraging him to "think outside the box". Prior to the series, he was said to have had a "nervous breakdown" (or "major depressive episode") after he sent six men into a warehouse with a bomb in it; all six agents were killed, and he was heavily criticized about the event. He showed particular dislike for the practice of using religion as a defense or motivation for one's crimes. Gideon participated in some field operations during his time with the BAU and had the rest of his team "think outside the box" as well, as he made a major advance by shouting at the top of his lungs with pleas of mercy and, when questioned by his team, he said that the victims were being threatened to be kept quiet as neighbors would have heard the pleas if they were unrestrained. He blamed himself for the torture Reid received from Tobias Hankel as he had ordered Garcia to add a virus warning to the videos Hankel posted.E215 Gideon also had a son named Stephen (James Lentzsch).E111 The nature of their relationship has not been directly stated, but it was implied that they have not seen each other very recently. Gideon began to lose confidence in his profiling skills after Frank Breitkopf murdered his girlfriend, Sarah Jacobs. During his final case in Arizona, he further lost faith in his abilities when his decision to release the unsub resulted in the deaths of both the unsub and a young woman. As a result of his actions, Aaron Hotchner was suspended, which was the final straw for Gideon. He then left his cabin shortly afterwards, leaving his gun and badge behind along with a letter for Reid to find as he sought to regain a belief in happy endings. In the season ten episode "Nelson's Sparrow", Gideon was murdered off-screen, having been shot dead at a close range by a serial killer named Donnie Mallick (Arye Gross), which prompts the BAU team to investigate Gideon's murder. During the flashbacks focusing on a young version of him for the episode which show him working at the BAU in 1978, he is played by Ben Savage.
Ashley Seaver Rachel Nichols 6 Former BAU Special Agent, Domestic Trafficking Task Force Agent
Played by Rachel Nichols, Ashley Seaver is an FBI cadet assigned to the BAU. Her father, Charles Beauchamp, was a horrific serial killer from North Dakota known as "the Redmond Ripper" who killed 25 women over the course of 10 years before Ashley was a teenager. He was caught by David Rossi and Aaron Hotchner. Because North Dakota does not have capital punishment, he was sentenced to life in prison. She has not been to see him. Though he writes to her sometimes, she never reads his letters, though she does keep them and admittedly still finds herself unable to hate him for what he did. In the episode "What Happens at Home", the BAU investigate a series of murders in a gated community and bring Ashley along because of her understanding of the family dynamics of a serial killer. In the end, the suspect commits suicide by cop in front of her. In the next episode, she requests that the rest of her remedial training be done with the BAU and is attached to the team. In the season seven premiere "It Takes a Village", it was revealed that Ashley transferred to the Domestic Trafficking Task Force, which is led by Andi Swann.
Alex Blake Jeanne Tripplehorn 8, 9 Former BAU Supervisory Special Agent
SSA Dr. Alex Blake is a forensic linguist who joins the BAU in season eight, replacing SSA Emily Prentiss. A former FBI agent, she rejoined in 2012 to restore her reputation after being unfairly blamed for mistakes in the Amerithrax case, for which Section Chief Erin Strauss let her take the fall. Though her arrival was met with mixed reactions, the team came to respect her expertise. Blake and Strauss initially clashed but later reconciled before Strauss's death. Blake faced significant challenges during her tenure, including being targeted by "The Replicator," a serial killer and disgraced former FBI agent connected to her past. The Replicator killed Strauss and nearly the entire team before being stopped. Blake, a Berkeley graduate with a PhD, also teaches forensic linguistics at Georgetown University and speaks American Sign Language.E801 Her personal life includes estrangement from her family after the deaths of her older brother Danny, a police officer, and her mother. She reconciles with her father and younger brother, Scott, during a case in Kansas City. Blake's emotional depth is revealed in season nine when Reid saves her from being shot and is critically injured himself. The case stirs painful memories of her late son Ethan, who died at age nine from a neurological disease. At the end of the "Demons", she sits apart from the rest of the group on the plane ride home, and it is implied that she sends a text message to Hotch to hand in her resignation. After taking Reid home, telling him about Ethan, and departing, Reid finds her FBI badge in his bag, and watches her leave, saddened but accepting, from his window.
Kate Callahan Jennifer Love Hewitt 10 Former BAU Supervisory Special Agent
Played by former Ghost Whisperer star Jennifer Love Hewitt, Kate Callahan has been in the FBI for eight years and has experience as an undercover agent, which has allowed her to establish a prior friendship with members of the BAU. Her sister and brother-in-law were killed in the September 11 attacks, leaving Kate as the legal guardian of their infant daughter, Meg, whom she raised for thirteen years along with her husband, Chris. This tragedy shaped her patriotic attitude. She is described as "smart, charming, and wise for her years" and holds a passion for making the world safer, according to showrunner Erica Messer. In the episode "Breath Play", Kate reveals she is pregnant. In the season ten finale, "The Hunt", Meg is abducted by human traffickers who are connected to a previous case that Kate had researched. Though Meg is eventually brought back safe, Kate decides to take a year off to spend with Meg, Chris, and her soon-to-be-born child. She is succeeded by SSA Dr. Tara Lewis in the next season.
Derek Morgan Shemar Moore 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 Former BAU Supervisory Special Agent
Played by former The Young and the Restless star Shemar Moore, SSA Derek Morgan is a confident and assertive everyman character, the son of an African-American father and white mother. He went to Northwestern University on a football scholarship, holds a black belt in judo, runs FBI self-defense classes, and served in a bomb squad unit and as a Chicago police officer. In season two it was explained that after the death of his father when he was ten, Derek struggled somewhat: youthful fighting earned him a juvenile offender record. He was taken under the wing of a local youth center coordinator, Carl Buford (Julius Tennon), who acted as a surrogate father to Derek and helped him to obtain a college football scholarship. But he also sexually abused him; the episode "Profiler, Profiled" revealed this. In season three, it is revealed that he hates religion because, as he says, something bad happened to him when he was 13. He went to church every day and prayed for it to stop, but it did not. Because of this, he had resentment toward God and the church. He prays for the first time in 20 years at exactly the time, he later finds out, that Penelope Garcia is being operated on after being shot. Former Unit Chief Aaron Hotchner promotes him to unit chief in his place, a promotion Derek saw as only temporary until the "Boston Reaper" was captured. Aaron again takes his place as unit chief when he returns after grieving over his ex-wife's murder. He resigns to care for his family.
Aaron Hotchner Thomas Gibson 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 Former BAU Unit Chief, Former BAU Supervisory Special Agent
SSA Aaron "Hotch" Hotchner was the Unit Chief of the BAU from Season 1 to Season 12. Before joining the FBI, he worked as a prosecutor and was initially assigned to the Seattle field office. Hotchner eventually rose to lead the BAU, but his tenure was marked by personal and professional challenges. Hotch was married to Haley Brooks, with whom he had a son, Jack. Though their marriage ended in divorce, they remained on amicable terms until Haley was murdered by George Foyet, a Boston-based serial killer known as "The Reaper." This left a substantial strain on Hotch's well-being. When Jennifer "JJ" Jareau briefly left the team for a Pentagon promotion, Hotch and Penelope Garcia stepped in to handle her responsibilities as media liaison, a role Garcia retained upon JJ's return as a profiler. In later seasons, Hotch began a romantic relationship with Beth Clemmons, showcasing his efforts to rebuild his personal life after Haley's death. Throughout the series, Hotch is portrayed as stoic and reserved, rarely smiling except in moments with his son. His departure from the BAU came after serial killer Peter Lewis, known as "Mr. Scratch," began stalking Jack, prompting Hotch to enter witness protection to ensure his son's safety. The character was abruptly written out of the series following Thomas Gibson's dismissal after an on-set physical altercation with one of the show's writers.
Stephen Walker Damon Gupton 12 Former BAU Supervisory Special Agent
Played by actor and conductor Damon Gupton, Walker is a Supervisory Special Agent with the BAU. Walker was a member of the Behavioral Analysis Program. He was contacted by Emily Prentiss about joining the BAU to assist in the manhunt for Peter Lewis, a.k.a. "Mr. Scratch". Walker is an experienced profiler, with about twenty years under his belt, and a member of the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Program before his transfer to the BAU. He is married to a woman named Monica and has two children with her, Maya and Eli. He met Emily Prentiss, then the chief of Interpol's London office, during his line of work. He was also mentored by David Rossi. Stephen's first case concerned a terrorist cell in Belgium, and three agents were sent undercover to infiltrate it. However, Stephen's profile was wrong, and this resulted in the deaths of the undercover agents. He eventually moved on from the trauma and improved as he went along in his career. He and other BAP agents, including his longtime friend Sam Bower, were sent undercover to investigate corruption in the Russian government. Walker's skills include being fluent in Russian and playing the trombone. In "Wheels Up", Walker dies from injuries during a car accident with a semi-truck by Peter Lewis a.k.a. Mr. Scratch.
Matt Simmons Daniel Henney 10, 12, 13, 14, 15 Former BAU Supervisory Special Agent
Played by Daniel Henney, SSA Matthew "Matt" Simmons is a Special Operations agent and special agent with the IRT. Simmons is married to his wife Kristy (Kelly Frye) and has a total of four young children, including sons Jake and David and twin daughters Lily and Chloe. Like Garrett, Simmons' full and fulfilling family life was a deliberate choice. Through his job, Simmons has some prior history with Derek Morgan and JJ of the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit. He was a former member of a Special Ops unit, and his experience with the unit allowed him to hone his profiling skills.
Spencer Reid Matthew Gray Gubler 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 18 BAU Supervisory Special Agent (on sabbatical)
SSA Dr. Spencer Reid is a genius who graduated from Las Vegas High School at age 12. Reid's mother, Diana Reid (Jane Lynch), has schizophrenia and was sent to a mental hospital by Spencer himself when he turned 18. He is almost always introduced as Dr. Reid, even though the others are introduced as agents because SSA Jason Gideon understood that people would not otherwise take Spencer seriously because of his young age. After an introduction, he never shakes hands. It has been revealed that he holds Ph.D.s in Mathematics, Chemistry, and Engineering, B.A.s in Psychology and Sociology, and is working on a B.A. in philosophy. Spencer is known for having an IQ of 187 and has an eidetic memory. Around the office, Reid often interrupts others' sentences with facts.E408 Matthew Gray Gubler confirmed that Reid is autistic. In many episodes, Dr. Reid can be seen visiting his mother in her Las Vegas Mental Help/Nursing Home. In Season 4, "Memoriam", Reid experiences dreams, possibly nightmares, of a young boy being murdered. This was due to a series of events that happened in Reid's childhood. In the end, Reid saw his father after a 20-year absence and found out that the murders in his dreams were indeed based on a real murder case and that his baseball coach, his mother, and his father were involved in the case, some criminally (his baseball coach), and some not criminally (his parents). Matthew Gray Gubler has been known for his many hairstyles throughout the continuing show. In almost every season his hair is different, whether he's in his Jesus Reid era or joined a boy band.[4] Reid has also said that he was bullied when he was younger. Through the seasons Reid has faced many near-death experiences and even had to be resuscitated while being held captive, tortured, and drugged by Tobias Hankel (unsub from season 2 episode 15). Reid had made some attempts in finding love but only to have his girlfriend killed in front of him by her stalker and later on to be terrorized by Cat Adams top hit-woman who framed Spencer for murder sending him to prison.

Hotch looks at Haley, but she does not say anything. It is implied that Haley might be cheating on Aaron, and that is why the person who called the home phone did not speak when a man answered. In the season five premiere episode, after George Foyet (a.k.a. "The Boston Reaper") shoots and stabs Aaron unconscious and puts him in the hospital, it is discovered by him that Foyet knows where Haley and Jack live, and they are placed in witness protection, later revealed to be living in New Jersey. Afterwards, Foyet stalks Sam Kassmeyer, the U.S. Marshall protecting Haley and Jack, somehow gets into his house after he comes home from work, and brutally tortures him to try to get him to reveal their location. In spite of being tortured and nearly dead at the scene (he would die shortly on the way to the hospital), Kassmeyer does not reveal their location. However, Foyet then notices Kassmeyer's work cell phone on a small table next to his living room sofa that he put down after coming in, and guesses correctly that he has phone numbers (not listed as actual phone numbers) on speed dial and dials several asking for "Haley." After several unsuccessful attempts, he finally manages to get Haley's cell number and she answers that it is her. Foyet apologizes for using her real name, then poses as a Marshall, tells her that Kassmeyer has been killed, that her location may have been compromised, that they need to protect her son, and that Aaron is dead. Overwhelmed with fear, Haley then puts her complete trust in him. Foyet further tells her not to call anyone after they're through talking, that her calls may be intercepted, to buy a disposable phone, and call him on it after getting into her vehicle; and that he would give her another number to call him on as well as further instructions on what to do before reassuring her that everything would be fine if she followed his instructions and that he was telling her the truth about Aaron. He later tells her to go to the Hotchner's house before their divorce and before she and her son were placed in protection and that he would meet her there. Despite the highly questionable instructions, Haley follows them completely. She discovers the truth about the situation when Aaron is able to reach her by cell phone with her, Foyet, and Jack in the living room.
