Deputy Chief

Power flickers out in the besieged U.S. embassy in Haiti after 24 grueling hours, where the Deputy Chief clings to dwindling insulin supplies, his diabetes carving a razor-edge peril into the crisis. No injuries scar the huddled staff, yet his medical countdown propels Situation Room urgency—Nancy's voice sharpens on negotiation escalations, Leo briefs amid howitzer barrels trained on the door, Bartlet's grief-shadowed gaze locking onto this human fault line. Stranded leadership amid 1,200 rebel troops, he embodies the embassy's fraying lifeline, his survival tethering White House resolve to swift evacuations.
