Character

Redin Hassan

audacious resourceful menacing

Redin Hassan materializes as a chilling specter of transnational peril, an Algerian-born terrorist snared at the Canadian border smuggling ten 2-ounce jars of nitroglycerin concealed in a U-Haul truck. President Bartlet brandishes his arrest like a sudden thunderclap during Oval Office bourbon rituals, triggering embassy shutdowns in Tanzania and Brussels while Toby Ziegler dissects FAA response protocols. Hassan's audacious breach exposes raw border fractures, weaponizing instability to derail deliberations and amplify the razor-wire tensions of leadership under siege.
