== Biography ==
She is a C.I.A. agent who is determined to locate and eliminate Osama bin Laden. After joining the agency, she has made it her mission to gather information about bin Laden. On one occasion, she joins her partner Dan at a covert "black" site where he interrogates Ammar al-Baluchi, a detainee with possible links to al-Qaeda. The "enhanced" interrogation methods used border on torture, but they do produce leads. Maya tirelessly follows these leads using both advanced technology and traditional methods over the years, although at times it seems as though she is chasing a specter.

Maya is completely focused on her goal of finding bin Laden and is willing to make sacrifices in order to achieve it. She seems to have no personal connections or distractions, and her emotionally reserved demeanor may be a coping mechanism for dealing with the disturbing events she encounters in her work. Despite the constant threat of failure, her dedication and perseverance drive her to continue on.
