Garrett Fowler is a disgraced FBI agent, formerly working in the Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR), a division of the Department of Justice.

Character Profile

Prior to his FBI career, Fowler was in the Special Forces, where he trained with Julian Larssen (Vincent Adler's right-hand man).

During Fowler's time with Violent Crimes in the FBI, his wife was murdered. He took some time off until one day, Fowler received an anonymous phone call telling him where to find his wife's killer, so Fowler tracked down the man and killed him out of vengeance. A few days later, Fowler received a video of himself killing his wife's murderer, followed by another phone call from the same anonymous man, blackmailing him to find the music box while working for OPR in exchange for the destruction of the video. Seemingly with no other choice, Fowler traced the music box to Neal Caffrey, who was rumored to have stolen it, but since Caffrey was in prison, Fowler decided to go after Caffrey's girlfriend, Kate Moreau.

Season 1

Fowler is the "Man with the Ring" and seen as the main antagonist in Season 1.

In "Free Fall", Fowler attempts to frame Neal for the theft of a pink diamond by tampering with his tracking anklet data. In "Bad Judgement", Peter Burke discover that Fowler has been bugging his home, tapping his phone, and recording his conversations. In the same episode, Peter and Neal find out that Fowler's been using a corrupt judge to approve his warrants.

Fowler set up Operation Mentor to try to gather information about and take down Peter Burke. The object of the operation may have been to find the Music Box.

Season 2

Peter gets some information after he shoots him in an episode, and more in Point Blank when Neal escapes to confront him. Although it was generally believed he was directly responsible for Kate's death, it is revealed that he is not the man behind the curtain even though he was the last person Kate called.

At the beginning of Season 2, Peter learns Fowler's whereabouts are unknown and OPR denies the existence of Operation Mentor. Also after he was held at gun point by Neal he told Peter and Neal how a Mystery man gave him the name and whereabouts of his wife's murderer. The next day, Fowler got a tape showing what he did to the murderer and he was told he gets the music box and the tape disappears.

We known later the mysterious man is Vincent Adler, a business and con man who has a lot of influence around the world. He wants the music box because it is the key to find a Nazi treasure that is hidden in a U-boat.
