Claire Haas (Quantico)

Claire Haas (Marcia Cross) is the hidden main villainess from Season One of Quantico. She is the wife of Clayton Haas and the mother of Caleb Haas, and in her first appearance in Season One's first half finale, "Inside", Claire was introduced as a U.S. Senator. She was also introduced to Shelby Wyatt by Caleb in the Quantico timeline. Months later, Claire finds out about Clayton's affair with Shelby, and while confronting Shelby, Claire vowed to ruin her career.
Claire also served as a villainous adversary against Alex Parrish in the second half of Season One, and was later revealed to be keeping Caleb in-house when he developed a drug addiction after Clayton was killed in a second bombing--not wanting to send him to rehab out of fear that it would damage her chances of becoming Vice President.
Claire turned heel in the final scenes of the Season One finale, "Yes", after it was revealed that Claire officially became the Vice President of the United States. In the episode, Alex confronted Claire over the revelation that she assisted and knew about Liam O'Connor's traitorous plans, doing so to benefit her political career. In response, the evil Claire displayed her arrogant heel persona and boasted that Alex didn't have any proof. However, she was surprised when Alex informed Claire that Caleb was working against her. The second season episode, "LCFLUTTER", revealed that Claire became the President of the United States when the 25th Amendment was invoked during an attack by the Citizens Liberation Front.
