Images of Reese Hughes

Reese Hughes is a retired FBI Special Agent, in which he was the Assistant Special Agent in Charge of the New York White Collar Crime Division, and a friend of Peter Burke.

Hughes was the no-nonsense supervisor of Peter. While Hughes cared for and trusted Peter, he didn't trust the young consultant/CI, Neal Caffrey, unless push came to shove.

According to Mozzie, Hughes was a legend that the FBI was forced to let go, but they hired him back after finding a loophole.

In "Brass Tacks", Hughes' career ended when Peter and Neal went after Senator Terrence Pratt and, out of retaliation, Pratt forced Hughes into early retirement, or else he would lose his pension.

In "In The Wind", we find out that Hughes still keeps tabs on the FBI, and he warns Peter about Pratt and Amanda Callaway.
