Character

Sherry Halpurn

Meticulous Protocol-Oriented Reliable

Protocol enforcer emerges in Cairo's shadow: Sherry Halpurn hands C.J. the ceramic cat statue, inscribing her as the White House's unseen sentinel for diplomatic exchanges. Her testimony—relayed through Charlie—ignites a frantic artifact hunt, exposing protocol's razor edge where cultural tokens morph into political grenades. Amid Bartlet administration's global tightrope, she embodies meticulous custody chaining foreign gifts to presidential accountability, her off-stage precision amplifying C.J.'s vulnerability in the protocol pressure cooker.
