Alexander Mahone is a fictional character portrayed by William Fichtner in the American television series Prison Break. The series revolves around two brothers: one who has been sentenced to death for a crime he did not commit, and his younger sibling, a genius who devises an elaborate plan to help him escape prison. Mahone is introduced in the premiere of the second season as a special agent in the Federal Bureau of Investigation, specializing in manhunts for escaped prisoners for 14 years.[1]
When the protagonist of the series, Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller), successfully orchestrates the escape of eight prisoners from Fox River State Penitentiary, Mahone is assigned to spearhead the task force assembled to recapture the fugitives. Mahone hunts the escapees and manages to successfully capture four of them; however, he is arrested in Panama and imprisoned in Penitenciaría Federal de Sona in the second season finale. Mahone manages to escape from the prison, and is coerced into taking down The Company, a secret group of multinationals which exerts an influence on the White House.[2] An assassin is hired by The Company to murder his son, and Mahone spends the majority of season four trying to seek revenge.
The writers created Mahone's character in the second season so that there would be a fugitive pursuer who was not corrupt. When the writers realized the increasing amount of antagonists, they decided to make him the flip side of Scofield. The writers try to let Mahone inhabit a gray area, and constantly shift the audience's sympathy for the character. Fichtner was cast as Mahone just one day before filming began for the second season, attracted to the potential of the character. Fichtner signed on to appear for only two seasons, but was convinced to appear in a final third one. Critics praised the addition of Mahone in the second season and Fichtner's acting; however, at least one reviewer disliked Mahone's storyline in the third season. |
