Kyle Hendricks

Kyle Hendricks was a man who murdered two Marine recruiting officers.
==Biography==
===Pre-Series===
Before the episode, Hendricks was revealed to have been rejected for service in the Marine Corps due to mental instability.
===NCIS Season 1===
Over the course of a few days in 2004, Hendricks shot and killed Gunnery Sergeant Freddy Alvarez and Sergeant Aaron Barnes. Following a comprehensive investigation by NCIS, agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs went undercover as a recruitment officer to draw Hendricks out. Hendricks attempted to shoot Gibbs the same way as he had Alvarez and Barnes, only for bulletproof glass to stop his round. 
NCIS agents, over the course of their investigation, discovered that Hendricks had left white feathers at the sites of his murders in tribute or reference to Marine Corps sniper Carlos Hathcock. He had done this by dressing as a water jug deliveryman; it is unknown if this position was his actual job or if he was impersonating a deliveryman in order to get closer to his targets.
Running from his snipers' nest, Hendricks was confronted by agent Anthony DiNozzo. After ignoring repeated requests to drop his rifle and realizing he was cornered by DiNozzo's FBI backup, Hendricks turned and aimed his rifle at DiNozzo, forcing the agent to shoot and kill him in self-defense.
==Personality==
Hendricks was, as Gibbs described, "intelligent." He was able to know exactly what brick to remove from the wall of a warehouse in order to shoot and kill Alvarez. He was also able to evade NCIS agents until after his second killing; when discovered, he was discovered by agent DiNozzo, Hendricks chose to try and shoot him, leading to Hendricks' death. It is unknown if he was trying to commit suicide by police or if he intended to continue his quest of revenge against the Marine Corps. 
He was assessed by Caitlin Todd as having been sufficiently egotistical as to pursue a disguised Gibbs who took Alvarez's place at the Marine Corps recruitment office, believing that Hendricks was obsessed enough with his revenge to attempt to kill Gibbs. This assessment was correct, and led to Hendricks' death.
Part of the reason that Hendricks was able to be found by NCIS was his decision to leave white feathers at the scenes of his murders in tribute or reference to Carlos Hathcock, a legendary Marine Corps sniper. He may have felt that he could have had a similar career could he have been allowed to join the Corps sniper program.
