Kevin Powell

Kevin Powell is a character in QIA. He was the Superintendent of Hammersmith Police Station before taking early retirement.
== Biography ==
Powell is suspected by DCI Rupa Kalsi to be in somebody else's pocket, especially considering he ordered certain evidence in the Kearney case to be removed and given only to him ("Resistance"). In "Walker" it was revealed that Powell and Director Brent Hall are close acquaintances, and this was further confirmed through his actions and telephone conversation with Hall in "Hafiz". 
After Kalsi's unauthorised raid on the London Hub, Powell told her that the QIA was a counterterrorism unit that operated outside of the law, and then ordered her outright to cease the investigation altogether, a mandate that had come directly from Hall. ("Hafiz") 
Powell later fired Rupa on the pretence that her continued investigation into the Hub was illegal, even though it was obvious to Rupa that the order had actually come from Hall. ("Rupa") 
A few months later, Powell was contacted by someone within the terrorist organisation la Muerte Justa and asked to supply a password for £100,000. Believing this to only be for the purposes of blackmailing a couple of officers, Powell agreed, not knowing that it was in fact going to be used to further the organisation's criminal activities. 
Beverly Charlton, of Counter-Terrorism, came to believe that Powell was involved with la Muerte Justa and made contact with Rupa (now Shaw) and asked her to investigate. After finding proof of Powell's involvement, Rupa confronted him and threatened to take her findings to the media. Powell backed down and agreed to take early retirement. ("Life")
