Kate Warner is a fictional character in the television series 24. She was Jack Bauer's (Kiefer Sutherland) romantic interest in the show's second season.

Kate Warner was played by Australian actress Sarah Wynter. She, along with Carlos Bernard (Tony Almeida) and Michelle Forbes (Lynne Kresge) provided commentary for episode four of the second season's DVD set.

Kate Warner is preparing for her sister, Marie Warner's wedding, only to soon realize that her sister could be marrying a terrorist. Kate investigates further to find out the truth. Over the course of the day, she is kidnapped, tortured, assists Jack in his efforts to find a nuclear bomb set to detonate in Los Angeles, learns that her sister is in collusion with terrorists (indeed, murders her totally innocent fiancé), goes undercover to identify a terror-cell leader, is brought back to Counter Terrorist Unit (CTU) headquarters, again becomes involved in violence and trauma in helping Jack to locate information that would help prevent a war, and rescues the hapless Kim Bauer from getting into another dire situation before reuniting her with Jack.

By the opening of the third season, we learn that while she and Jack had a relationship in the three years between seasons 2 and 3, it had ended. The reasons for this are never made clear, but any number of factors (probably relating to Jack's work) may have contributed.

[edit] 24: The Game

Kate played a somewhat significant role in 24: The Game, mostly as a damsel in distress. She calls Jack, telling him that the same car keeps passing her house. Later she is trapped in a subway car thanks to the earthquake. She is saved, but by Peter Madsen who takes her hostage to stop Jack from shooting him. Later she contacts CTU of her location, she is on Max's yacht. After Max uses her as a shield, Jack shoots Max and rescues Kate. (She was being held hostage to force her father, Bob Warner, into letting Max take stolen nuclear weapons out of the country.)
