Characters affiliated with the Company
- Season 1
- Samantha Brinker (played by Michelle Forbes) is a member of The Company. She is introduced mid-way through the first season as an intermediary to Vice President Caroline Reynolds.

Later, Brinker delights in humiliating Reynolds by informing her of The Company's decision to withdraw support to her campaign, only to have Reynolds turn the tables by secretly murdering the president. Her character only appeared in season 1.
- Aldo Burrows (played by Anthony Denison) is the father of Lincoln Burrows and Michael Scofield. In the early episodes of the first season, he is offhandedly mentioned by several characters to be a drunk who abandoned his family. He makes his first appearance in "By the Skin and the Teeth" and his true background is revealed in "The Key", when he tells Lincoln that he left to take a position with The Company as a data analyst, he was in fact an executioner tasked with killing anyone who defected from the company. Due to his commitments, he was forced to abandon his family when Lincoln was still a child and before Michael was born. The character is central to the plot, as he is the catalyst that set everything in motion. After leaving The Company and trying to expose them, Lincoln was framed for murder to draw Aldo out. Aldo returns for three episodes in season 2, arranging to have Lincoln and his son L.J. saved from the police and reunites with Michael. Aldo's character is killed off in "Disconnect" when he is shot and killed by Agent Alexander Mahone. His death prompts the protagonists to stay and fight against The Company. He continues to be mentioned occasionally in later seasons.

Hale first appears in the pilot episode as Kellerman’s nervous partner and a member of the Burrows conspiracy. The character appears with a minor role in the first 13 episodes.

He later has a crisis of conscience. In "Odd Man Out", he offers to help Veronica reveal the conspiracy. In the next episode, he is confronted by Kellerman; upon discovering that Hale planned to personally name him in the conspiracy, Kellerman is visibly upset and promptly kills Hale.

After he suspends Kellerman and Hale from duty, Quinn murders Veronica Donovan's ex-fiancé in order to track her down. He ends up capturing Nick Savrinn, Veronica and L.J. at their cabin in New Glarus. Quinn has a big part in the next episode, where he interrogates Veronica and a wounded Nick for information. His attempts fail when Veronica manages to escape. Quinn gives chase, but is pushed into the bottom of a well by LJ. Quinn is forced to call Kellerman and Hale for help at the end of the episode, though Kellerman merely pulls a cover over the well, leaving him there to die, threatening Hale to go along with it. It is shown in a later episode that Quinn scratches the names KELLERMAN and O. KRAVECKI into the wall before dying of thirst and starvation.

He is a "hired contractor" by his own words to a startled Don Self when Krantz sent Wyatt to investigate why Self was pulling information on the General. Wyatt is portrayed as an emotionless killer, performing swift executions without remorse, which is shown when he kills James Whistler,[5] Bruce Bennett,[6] Cameron Mahone,[5] and Jasper Potts,[7] in his pursuit of the protagonists. He is highly effective in tracking, and has a working knowledge of truth serums. Having killed Alex Mahone's son to draw him out, a major plotline of these episodes include Mahone seeking revenge, most notably in "Blow Out" where they share screen time for the first time. Wyatt ultimately comes face to face with the A-Team in "The Price" when he tortures and kills Roland Glenn[8] for information on their whereabouts. After shooting Roland in the stomach, he is ambushed and captured by the team. Wyatt spends his last episode, "Greatness Achieved" as a prisoner. After the rest of the team get what they need from Wyatt, Mahone tortures him and makes him apologize to his wife for the murder of their son, via cellphone.

When McGrady learns of the escape, he confronts Michael demanding to be included. Fearing for McGrady's safety, Michael at first refuses, but is unable to persuade him to stay and later relents, allowing McGrady into the escape, but tells McGrady he cannot be responsible for him on the outside. In "Hell or High Water" McGrady successfully escapes from Sona along with Michael and other inmates, but then separates from the group along with his father.

- Sammy (played by Laurence Mason) is an inmate and Lechero's right hand man. He is temperamental and violent, and is easily undefeated in the Sona death matches. Sammy dislikes Lechero's new henchman, T-Bag, and is increasingly uncertain of Lechero's leadership. He later expresses his desire to reinforce Lechero's gang with the inmate Cristobal and his men, which Lechero warily accepts. Sammy is outraged when Lechero refuses to kill Michael after Sammy's friend Papo is killed, falsely accused for Michael's escape attempt. Augusto, Lechero's cousin, has a gun delivered to Sammy, encouraging him to overthrow Lechero. Egged on by Cristobal, Sammy stages a coup to take control of Sona in the episode "Dirt Nap", though he allows Lechero to live, and places a bounty on Scofield's head. When Michael is captured, Sammy realizes that he and Lechero are secretly planning to escape. Visibly hurt, he plans to kill Michael but never gets the chance, as he dies when the escape tunnel caves-in on him. It collapsed due to being intentionally sabotaged by Michael.
