## Quotes

**Jack Dalton:** Okay. So, now do I have your permission to go bust him out of there?

**Matilda Webber:** If you want Mac to spend the rest of his life on the run from the entire U.S. intelligence agency, then go for it. But if you want to clear him of these charges, we need to prove that he didn't kill George Ramsey.

**Wilt Bozer:** How? You just said the LAPD has all this evidence.

**Samantha Cage:** Maybe they're looking at it wrong. Maybe we can use the same evidence to clear his name once we get access to it.

**Jack Dalton:** I think she's talking to you, Riley. Let's go. *(Snaps fingers)*

**Riley Davis:** Guys, I'm typing as fast as I can.

**Matilda Webber:** Then type faster. Okay, the longer that we let Mac sit in there, the longer the cops have to fit the evidence to their story and paint Mac as a terrorist.

**Letty Morelli:** (mutters) Capital Mistake…

*(Everyone looks at her)*

**Letty Morelli:** In *A Scandal in Bohemia*, Sherlock Holmes says *"It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts."*

## Trivia

This is a reference to the show Hawaii Five-O.

## Quotes

**Jack Dalton:** No, no, wait. Hold on, don't tell me. Let me guess what it is this time. Uh...Chinese separatists, city of Madrid, with the candlestick.

**Patricia Thornton:** I thought we agreed not to use any Clue references during our briefings.

**Jack Dalton:** I would never agree to something like that. Milton Bradley was an American hero.

**Jack Dalton:** Well, just have him keep trying to kill you and I'll follow the sound of the shots.

**Angus MacGyver:** Okay, I'll try not to die before you get here.

**Riley Davis:** In prison, we call that a narc. Someone who's cooperated with five-O.

**Angus MacGyver:** You made a will?

**Jack Dalton:** Yeah. Will.

**Angus MacGyver:** But all you own are two cars and the complete works of Bruce Willis on DVD.

**Jack Dalton:** You're missing the point. I've made conscious choice to put my life on the line for my country. And so have you. But these people, they didn't sign up for this.

**Angus MacGyver:** Jack's right. They didn't sign up for this. This was all my doing. My choices brought us here. Just like my choices brought an assassin to my home. Bozer's home. It's not a great feeling, knowing your decisions have endangered people on both sides of the globe. I don't know how to stop a government agency from ruining Bozer's life. But I think I've just figured out how to stop the men outside from ending the lives of everyone in this embassy.

**GALLERY**

**Nicholas Helman** was the Chairman of the Board for HIT, *(Homicide International Trust)* a criminal group who contract assassins all over the world as well as being involved in illegal arms trades. Helman himself was a first rate assassin who trained Murdoc in his deadly art of death. Ends up hating his trainee and protégé Murdoc for killing his beloved wife.

## Early life

Fresh out of high school, Murdoc joined the first army that would have him. He had a burgeoning interest in shooting people, and his new friends were willing to indulge him. So they sent me to train with Nicholas Helman. After Helman trained him and the country they'd sworn allegiance to ceased to exist, they went to work for some very bad people. Until one day, Helman met this woman, fell in love and decided to quit the business. So they sent him in to kill Helman. Murdoc tried to kill him, missed, but killed her instead, and Helman's been chasing him ever since. That's why he's never stayed in the same place for long, always waiting for him to catch up and make good on his promise.

## Notes

* Murdoc mentioned, he and **Nicholas Helman** worked for a country until it 'ceased to exist'. He could have been talking about. *The United Arab Republic, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia* and *East Germany*. However, given his approximate age, he would have been oto young, or only served *(including training)* for a year.
	+ *Chechnya* is located in Eastern Europe, and virtually independent from Russia from 1996 as Chechen Republic of Ichkeria, however the country was recognized only by Taliban. After terrorist attacks in 1999 the republic was returned to Russia's control in the *Second Chechen War*. He could have worked for them for four years, and the time line with such a war-torn country adds up.

## Trivia

Wilt Bozer

**Wilt Bozer** is a member of **The Phoenix Foundation** and has been best friends with Angus MacGyver since childhood.

## Personality

Wilt Bozer is incredibly empathetic and cares deeply for his friends, all of whom just call him by his last name. At the beginning of the series, Bozer is focused on trying to further his film-making career in his spare time, while flipping burgers at his day job. Though he was MacGyver’s roommate, he didn’t know what Mac and Jack, and later Riley, really did, believing them all to work at a think tank.

After a dangerous encounter with Murdoc, Bozer learns the truth, causing him to briefly question his friends because of their lies. After some time, he accepts that they lied to protect him, and he also accepts a job at the Phoenix Foundation that Director Thornton offers him, recognizing his skills with prosthetics.

After Thornton’s betrayal, Bozer expressed concerns that he will be fired by Thornton’s replacement. He is, like all the team, somewhat apprehensive of Matty Webber at the start, but an incident occurs where Bozer gathers up the courage to question a conclusion she had erroneously jumped to on a mission. Matty appreciated Bozer’s courage and critical thinking that saved the day, and Bozer is kept on at the Phoenix Foundation.

Most of the work Bozer does is in the Phoenix labs, helping to build an AI named Sparky and making prosthetics and masks for field agents. He dreams of fieldwork and the glories he thinks it will bring, but after his first official field mission goes south, he realizes that, for the time being, the lab is exactly where he wants to be.

For several episodes in the first season, Bozer has an unrequited crush on Riley Davis. He helps her with her parole officer by pretending to be her boyfriend, in order to gain the digits of her phone number. He sees this as Riley playing hard to get, but eventually does realize that Riley is not interested in him as anything more than a friend. Once Bozer accepts this, the two of them become very good friends.

In season two, Bozer is seen doing more fieldwork, while still spending the majority of his time in the lab. In order to develop his field skills, Matty sends him to “spy school,” where he is partnered with Leanna Martin. The two become close friends and eventually romantic partners.

Bozer is shown to be impulsive at times, but his instincts are almost always right. He cares deeply for his friends.

## Skills

* **Prosthetic Mask Designer:** Bozer started creating prosthetics and masks for his movies, but later uses his skills to create disguises for field agents.
* **Experienced Cook:** He is frequently shown cooking elaborate dishes which everybody seems to enjoy.
* **Technology:** Bozer is shown to be capable with technology, sometimes standing in for Riley on missions

## Notes

* Assistant in an Accountant's Office *(formerly)*
* Is asked to join Phoenix because of MacGyver's insistence to Director Thornton, since he was exposed to the spy world.

## Pre-Series

After leaving high school Angus MacGyver attended MIT for two years before joining the military as a bomb disposal expert. He worked at that job for three years before being recruited by DXS. DXS partnered him with Jack Dalton and Letizia Morelli and the three of them worked together for three years before the events of *The Rising*.

Angus MacGyver, with help from Jack Dalton, Letty Morelli and Nikki Carpenter, infiltrates a party to steal a biological weapon in Lake Como, Italy. However, as Mac and Jack meet up with Nikki, they find her held hostage by John Kendrick. Mac gives up the bioweapon, but Kendrick shoots both him, Letty and Nikki, killing Nikki. Three months later, Mac is on holiday when the Director, Patricia Thornton, calls him and Jack back to help retrieve the bioweapon. They recruit hacker and convict Riley Davis, who tracks Kendrick to San Francisco, where they also discover that Nikki is alive and working with him for another group. After capturing them both, Mac finds out that Nikki has already sold the bioweapon to someone who plans on making it airborne via an IED. Mac finds the bio-weapon and extracts it from the bomb before it explodes. A few days later, Thornton tells the group that Nikki's betrayal has caused knowledge of the DXS to become compromised, so they have to shut down and relocate under a new name of their choosing.

Nicodemus Esposito

**Nicodemus "Nico" Esposito** is a teacher at *Newport Harbor High School* in Newport Beach, California and an old high school friend of Letty Morelli.

## Early Life

**Nico** met Letty supposedly sometime during their time at *Newport Harbor High School* in their shared hometown of Newport Beach, California. While students there, Nico helped Letty develop Experiment Sparrow as a school assignment and according to Letty is the only other person who would know the details of how to make the drug.

## Season 2

### *Newport + Beach*

In the episode we are introduced to him by Letty who seems really glad to see him. They have a heart-to-heart about the experiment they made in high school which later becomes helpful in the case Phoenix is working on. We see him and MacGyver have a conversation about Letty which leads Mac to ask Letty whether they dated in high school. She vehemently denies this and is indignant about the question.

## Relationships

### Friends

#### Letty Morelli

Nico and Letty met when they were teenagers at their High School.

#### Lore Morelli

Lore and Nico seemingly met when they all were teenagers as Nico had been a good friend of Letty's. However, in *Newport + Beach* he mentions to Riley that he never really liked Nico all that much. He always believed that there was something *"off"* about him.
Chiara Morelli

**Chiara Morelli** (nee Conti) is the Italian grandmother of the Morelli Twins. She is originally from Florence, Tuscany, Italy, but moved to the United States before her daughter, Mirabella Morelli was born.

## Early Life

She was born in 1948 in Italy but moved to the United States at some point in her life before her daughter was born. According to Letty, she was *not* a fan of Mirabella's choice of a partner because Mirabella was very young when she got pregnant with Letty and Lore.

After her daughter died while giving birth to the twins, she took in her grandchildren and effectively named them both with names that Letty calls "aggressively Italian."

For a while it was just her and her husband raising the twins. However, he died of a heart attack in 1998 when the twins were seven years old.

As the years went by, Chiara started showing favoritism to her grandson, inadvertently causing a rift between the once-close twins. This also resulted in a growing resentment from Letty which would cause Letty to stop talking to her for six years.

## Season 2

### In-House Specialist + Nonna

Lore mentions that Letty would know that he had been back from Italy if she had picked up Chiara's calls, implying that Lore had been hanging out with Chiara for a while. We first meet her later when she shows up to the Phoenix to congratulate Lore on his new job.

In front of MacGyver, she blatantly ignores Letty while praising Lore for a lot of the same accomplishments. This is when Letty tells Mac about what it was like growing up in the environment she did.

## Relationships

### Letty Morelli

Chiara is Letty's maternal grandmother who is originally from Italy. We learn that as of *Scissors*, she hadn't spoken to any family for almost six years since she joined the Army. When we meet her in *In-House Specialist + Nonna* we learn that the reason was because Letty felt resentful for the way her grandmother played favorites between her and her brother.

### Lore Morelli

Chiara is Lore's maternal grandmother who is originally from Italy. They have a good relationship with each other, but recently, Lore has been pushing back against his grandmother for treating Letty the way she has.

### Anthony Morelli

Chiara is Anthony's widow and according to Chiara, she didn't react to his premature death well. According to Letty, the pair met when Anthony was stationed in Italy. She also told MacGyver that before the birth of their daughter, Mirabella, they came to the US and they had money which is why they were able to afford a house in Newport Beach.

## Notes

* In *Newport + Beach* we find out the real reason why Chiara treats her grandchildren very differently.
	+ However, while Chiara favored Lore, it seems her husband favored Letty
* When speaking to Letty and Lore, she predominantly speaks to them in Italian.
* Letty says that Chiara hated the fact that she dropped out of college and joined the Army
	+ This is confirmed in *Newport + Beach*
* She and Anthony were married for 33 years

Emilia Ricci

**Emilia “Emmy” Claudia Ricci** is an art museum curator located in Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy and a family friend of Lore and Letty Morelli.

## Early Life

Emmy was born to Elio Ricci and Claudia, his girlfriend, in June of 1991. She was born in Fort Belvoir, Virginia where her dad was stationed. Her mother took off afterwards, and all she knows is that she is dead.

Her father met her stepmother Miranda a year later, and they married when Emmy was three, just before her father was stationed in Italy and moved the family there. They stayed there after that.

Her grandparents lived in Livorno, Italy, right by the base so she visited them often and became very close which is where she developed her love of art.

She went to school at the University of Cagliari and studied art. After she graduated and her grandparents died, she opened up a museum of their art collection in Cagliari.

After the success of her museum, she accepted a job as a lecturer at her and Lore Morelli’s alma mater.

## Relationships

### Family and Friends

#### **Letty and Lore Morelli**

Emmy met the Morelli twins in Italy when they all were children. Chiara Morelli and Emmy‘s grandparents are old friends, so whenever the Morellis were in Italy they would all get together and hang out. Though Emmy did not know the truth about the Phoenix foundation's real purpose, when she needed help she called up her old friends, hoping they’d help her with her problem. She begins to realize that Phoenix isn’t just merely a think tank, but doesn’t press the issue. Though she knows Lore and Letty are hiding Phoenix’s true function she offers to one day visit them all in Los Angeles and when alone with the twins comes out as a lesbian to them.

#### **Chiara Morelli**

Chiara Morelli is Emmy’s godmother and has known her almost her whole life. She’s very close to her and is one of the people who tells her not to be so hard on her granddaughter, Letty.

#### **Mario and Elizabeth Ricci**

Mario and Elizabeth Ricci are Emmy’s paternal grandparents. They shared their love of art with her at a very young age. When they died, Emmy memorialized them by opening up an art museum of their art collection.

### Romance

#### **Desi Nguyen**

Emmy met Desi when the Morelli twins recruited the team to help Emmy with some high-level art stealers. Emmy and Desi hit it off right away, which Desi was weary of considering how close Emmy was with her rival, Letty Morelli. Desi, who had believed herself to have always been straight, started feeling an attraction to her too. Once Desi came out as bisexual, they started texting and calling each other more often. Eventually leading to a long-distance relationship which was sealed with a kiss in front of all of their friends.
Book 5.5: Knight Protector

An arranged marriage she can’t escape.

A sexy bodyguard who will protect her at all cost.

A forbidden love she can’t give in to…

As one of the sultan’s fourteen daughters, and a successful businesswoman who puts money in the family’s coffers, Princess Nalini thought she would escape an arranged marriage.

She thought wrong.

Her father insists that an alliance with the savage and ambitious Star Kingdom is the only way to avoid a war at home, and for some reason, Prince Jorg—a man she’s never met—wants to marry her.

As if that weren’t bad enough, her father believes the betrothal may make her a target and is assigning her a bodyguard, the victor of one of his odious gladiator matches. She doesn’t want some brutish stranger intruding on her privacy.

But her new protector—Tristan—is not the brute she expected. He has a quick wit, a sexy smile, and even sexier things under the smile.

Unfortunately, Nalini can't let herself fall in love with Tristan, not when she’s soon to be betrothed to another man. As her father’s daughter, it’s her duty to help her people by cementing this alliance. No matter how much she wishes otherwise...
~
As Tristan grew up on the streets, his father a convict and his mother a drug addict, all he ever wanted was to become one of the Star Kingdom's elite knights, something that very few commoners ever achieve. After Tristan labors for years as a squire, the king is ready to appoint him a knight... if he accomplishes one simple task. He must infiltrate the sultan’s palace, gain the trust of Princess Nalini, and make sure she doesn’t run away from her marriage with Prince Jorg.

There’s just one problem.

Nalini isn’t the spoiled rich brat he expected—she spends her days working as hard as he does—and he soon develops feelings for her. With her betrothal looming, and the career he’s worked his whole life for at stake, Tristan can’t let himself act on those feelings.

But can he stand back while a man who doesn’t deserve her claims her for his wife?

Elliot Adams

**GALLERY**

> "Well, you definitely have a type Letts."
>
> - Jack to Letty in *Improvise*

**Elliot Adams** was the boyfriend of Letty Morelli throughout season 3 of *MacGyver*. He was last mentioned in season 5 to still have been talking to Letty as a good friend.

## Personality

Elliot seemed to have been pretty mild-tempered and very understanding. He was shown many times to not get mad when Letty had to cancel their plans or cut their dates short because she would get summoned by the Phoenix Foundation.

## Relationships

### **Letty Morelli**

Letty had a brief relationship with Elliot all throughout season 3. The two seemingly met at a coffee shop and hit it off right away. They were seen out many times—a lot of those moments being interrupted with Letty being called away for a mission. He never finds out what Letty actually does but seems a little okay with her having to constantly be called away. They break up when Letty is unable to tell him that she doesn't have feelings for Mac. In season 5 it seems that there is no bad blood between the two and that they talk on occasion.
Lede

Lede was a human female from Aizdihar Village. She worked as a servant of Olaf Gustavian but was eventually promoted to Supplies Manager after doing a heroic feat that granted her Olaf's attention.

## Early Life

Lede was born to a line of servants that always worked for the Serpentarius-Gustavian family. Her parents and all the other servants from the family were assasinated and Lede was the only survivor. During that time, Selenia Avior Gustavian became her mentor as well as a mother figure. She taught Lede to conjure magical shields to protect her masters if needed. When Olaf turned 18, Lede was sent to his house to serve him and helped him with everything he needed.

## The Battle Against Espheros

Before Olaf and his crew journeyed to Akuheim to kill the giant Ephialtos, they encountered Espheros, a subordinate of Galaxia in the Nightmare Realm. Espheros, in order to protect Ephialtos, who was his son, challeneged the crew to a fight. Olaf was badly wounded during the battle, but Lede came in time, shielding him and the rest of the crew and landing the final hit on Espheros. Her heroic feat gave her recognition from the rest of the crew and the rank of Supplies Manager.

## Journey to Akuheim and Death

Olaf and the rest of his crew, sailed on the Infinite Ocean of Akuheim for 10 years until they eventually reached the Five Islands. Lede shielded Olaf during his battle against Ephialtos but didn't play a much larger role other than that. During the 10-year return period, Lede noticed that they were running out of food and other supplies. So, to save some supplies, she never ate and eventually died from starvation.

## Quotes

**Wilt Bozer:** I feel like I’m getting tetanus just breaking in here.

**Riley Davis** That's not how tetanus works.

**Murdoc:** You lost that job long before you asked about a fee. See, Mr and Mrs Morris they came in that restaurant looking for a dangerous predator. We all have millions of years of evolution telling us how to spot one. If you don't make something deep within them crawl the moment you open your mouth, their gonna know you're not the real deal. You're not just staring in some middle school play MacGyver! It's not enough to pretend to be me, you have to become me. Otherwise Omnis is gonna sniff you out like the fake that you are and introduce you to the afterlife. That's my job remember! So, sit back and let me teach you what you need to know. First, you have to learn how to become a shadow in the bright sunlight. It means you have to take great pains not to leave behind a trail of any kind, nothing; financial, biological or digital. Simply knowing how to be invisible isn't enough. If you want to walk a mile in my skin you have to believe that what your doing isn't just fun and lucrative, it's also right.

**Angus MacGyver:** Murder for hire as a moral imperative, I don't buy it.

**Angus MacGyver:** No, I'm here to thank you, because without your advice, an innocent man and I would both be dead.

**Murdoc:** Yeah. Nope. I don't care. I'm still a sociopath and your thanks means nothing to me.
