This is an overview of the regular and recurring characters of the TV series NCIS .
Supervisory Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs, portrayed by Mark Harmon, was born in Stillwater, Pennsylvania to Jackson Gibbs and an unnamed mother. He joined the United States Marine Corps in 1976 instead of attending college and became a Scout Sniper. After serving tours of duty in Panama and Iraq, he retired from the Marine Corps with the rank of Gunnery Sergeant. He joined NIS, which later became NCIS, after his wife Shannon and only daughter Kelly were murdered in 1991. Since then, he has been married and divorced three times, and is currently single. He currently leads a team consisting of Anthony DiNozzo, Timothy McGee, and Ziva David. In the episode "Bête Noire" Gibbs comes face to face with terrorist Ari and puts a bullet through Ari's right shoulder. He is often shown in his basement building boats, at least one of which he named after his daughter. In the episode "Blowback", when confronting "Goliath" on the plane about "ARES", Gibbs revealed he was a Virgo.
Senior Special Agent Anthony "Tony" D. DiNozzo, portrayed by Michael Weatherly, is a former homicide detective for the Baltimore Police Department. Prior to Baltimore, he worked for Philadelphia PD and Peoria PD. He is a "technophobe" with limited patience for the scientific method and technical terms. He attended Ohio State University as a physical education major and was a member of the "Alpha Chi Delta" fraternity, class of 1989. DiNozzo is said to have played college basketball, "running the point for Ohio State" according to Abby Sciuto in a discussion with her assistant, Chip. It is mentioned that he comes from a wealthy family (but was disowned by his father), his mother was over-protective, and she "dressed him like a sailor until he was ten."
He is a flirt, often getting shot down by women. but that doesn't stop him. He was once on a special assignment in which he was supposed to find an arms dealer, but ended up falling in love with the dealer's daughter. In the episode "Knockout", he revealed that he was not doing well with women and that he was still hurting from his relationship with Jeanne Benoit.
Reassigned as an Agent Afloat in Season 5 ("Judgment Day")
Transferred back to the Major Case Response Team in Season 6 ("Agent Afloat")
Ziva David, portrayed by Cote de Pablo, formerly held the post of Mossad Liaison Officer to NCIS, to which she was appointed following the murder of Special Agent Caitlin Todd by a rogue Mossad operative named Ari Haswari. David was Ari's control officer and half-sister. After Ari's death, she requested a liaison assignment to NCIS, where she subsequently joined Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs' team.
Her specialty with the Mossad was interrogation which included various forms of torture. She speaks Hebrew, English, Arabic, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Russian and Turkish. Despite being fluent in English, she sometimes misinterprets idioms and phrases that have different meanings in other languages if translated directly. Ziva is very skilled with a knife and has been shown teaching her colleagues how to throw it properly. In her career, she has travelled extensively to countries including Egypt (where she met Jenny Shepard), Iraq, the United Kingdom and Morocco.
In the episode "Good Cop, Bad Cop" Ziva became a probationary NCIS Special Agent after she terminated her links with Mossad.
Ziva rarely speaks of her personal life. Her father Eli David is the director of Mossad. The show never mentions Ziva's mother we only know that she doesn't have the same mother as Ari. Her sister, Talia "Tali" David, was killed in a terrorist attack in Israel. She also has an Aunt Nettie who likes to play mahjong.
Ziva's hobbies include playing the piano, singing, dancing (she took ballet when she was young), cooking, reading, and boxing. She enjoys the fictional drink Berry Mango Madness. She drives a red Mini Cooper, likes listening to the Israeli band Hadag Nachash and the Latin American band Kinky. She does not own a television but her favorite movie is The Sound of Music .
De Pablo describes the character as someone who is "completely different from anyone else on the show" and that because "she's been around men all her life; she's used to men in authority. She's not afraid of men."
Former Mossad Liaison Officer, NCIS
Returned to Mossad Season 6 ("Aliyah")
Returned to NCIS Season 7. Resigned from Mossad to become a Special Agent, leaving former position abandoned ("The Inside Man").
Abigail "Abby" Sciuto, portrayed by Pauley Perrette, is a forensic specialist with NCIS. As indicated in the episode "Seadog", she is the child of deaf parents. She is known for her gothic style of dress and addiction to the fictional, high-caffeine beverage "Caf-Pow". Abby had a brief and "casual" relationship with Special Agent McGee in season one, which ended with the two remaining friends. She is the most active and affectionate person of the team ("perky" describes her well), often hugging everyone and talking fast. She is one of the few who can talk to Gibbs freely, and he often buys her Caf-Pow. She and Gibbs, who also calls her "Abbs/Abs", are both fluent in sign language, and often use it, much to the chagrin of their colleagues. She has a stuffed farting hippopotamus named Bert that often appears in the show.
Abby's hobbies include a bowling league with nuns, helping build homes for the needy, and playing computer games.
Timothy McGee, portrayed by Sean Murray, first appeared in the episode "Sub Rosa" as a Case Agent stationed at Norfolk, and was promoted to Field Agent and assigned to Agent Gibbs' team in the second season, becoming a regular character, where he became a Junior Special Agent with NCIS. He serves as a field computer consultant and occasionally assists Abby Sciuto in the lab.
His clashes with DiNozzo over his methods have earned him the pejorative nickname "McGeek" and "McGoo" (along with other derisive nicknames based on his surname), as well as "Probie", and "Elf Lord", the latter used by multiple characters due to his elf character in an online role playing computer game. He was trained in biomedical engineering at Johns Hopkins University, and computer forensics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He also graduated the top of his class at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center.
McGee is also a writer, writing mystery crime novels including a national best seller, Deep Six , under the pseudonym Thom E. Gemcity (an anagram of his name), featuring characters based on his fellow co-workers and others from his everyday life. He also drives a silver Porsche Boxster as seen in the episode "Twisted Sister". He has Apple's iPhone smartphone, and uses it frequently on investigation.
He was transferred to Cybercrimes Division in Season 5 ("Judgment Day"), and transferred back to the Major Case Response Team in Season 6 ("Last Man Standing").
Leon Vance, portrayed by Rocky Carroll, first appeared in the episode "Internal Affairs" as Assistant Director in Season 5. He is named Director after the death of Jenny Shepard. It has been revealed in the episode "Knockout" that he was originally from Ohio, but grew up in Chicago where he trained to be a boxer. He attended the Naval War College and was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant in the Marine Corps, but was forced to take a medical discharge before ever serving due to having undergone surgery to repair a detached retina suffered during his boxing career.
Leon Vance has a wife, Jackie, and two children, a daughter, Kayla, and a son, Jared. He met his wife while attending a University of Maryland basketball game while Len Bias was playing.
After joining NCIS, Vance was assigned on a protection detail for a Serbian politician at a UN Summit in Prague. The politician and Vance's partner, Neil Wilson, were killed by North Korean operative Lee Wuan Kai and he was wounded. He spent several years chasing her missing her five times in five different towns. He nearly caught up with her in Los Angeles with the help of the NCIS OSP unit stationed there but failed again. Kai was killed by Vance's wife Jackie after having murdered the men who turned her into a killer when she was a girl.
In the episode "Knockout", 2009, Tyler Keith Owens, an old friend of Leon Vance is murdered. Vance personally oversees the case using the members of Gibb's team. Vance keeps stating that Owens was a marine but there is no military record for him. At one point Gibbs stops by the home of the director. Mrs. Vance tells Gibbs how she and the director met. She also tells him that the director did not go into active duty in the marines due to a detached retina. Gibbs asks Ducky to re-examine Owen's body and this time look for any surgical procedures. Ducky reports to Gibbs that a surgical operation for a detached retina was performed on Owens. This leads the viewer to wonder who Vance really is.
Vance is also a recurring character of the NCIS spin-off, NCIS Los Angeles <
