Sophia (Simon Cruz's mother)

Sophia exists offstage as the mother of condemned inmate Simon Cruz, a single proper name that converts procedural record into private consequence. She carries no biographical detail on record; her narrative function rests entirely in how her naming unsettles White House staff, particularly C.J., and forces moral reckoning. Across episodes she operates as a familial anchor and moral touchstone, collapsing bureaucratic distance and giving an otherwise administrative execution a human face without ever appearing in person.
