Kevin Lynch

Kevin Lynch is a technical analyst who assisted the BAU in finding Garcia's attacker in "Penelope".

On the Job
Kevin was asked to search Garcia's computer to learn who shot her. Upon entering her office, Kevin is immediately impressed with her GUI (Graphical User Interface), noting that computer array is completely Linux-based. While investigating, he encounters Garcia online, who is accessing her office computer from home. The two engage in a "hacker duel", with Kevin successfully logging into the FBI database (but not Garcia's personal files). Kevin sends the team live video alerting that the Unsub is in the BAU headquarters. At the end of the episode Garcia was introduced to Kevin and the two have been romantically involved ever since. He nearly went overseas due to a job offer but did not in the end as he felt that he could not go without having Garcia by his side. He assisted her during the search for George Foyet, and proved to be a valuable asset to the team. He was also one of the pall bearers at Haley Brooks' funeral.

When Garcia traveled to Alaska with the team, to help in the search for a violent, disorganized killer, she calls Kevin during the first night there, and reassures him when he expresses concern over her sharing a hotel room with Morgan, right before their call is cut short.

When Garcia has trouble juggling both her Technical Analyst and new Media Liaison duties while working on a case in Ohio, she calls Kevin back in Quantico to assist in looking up those related to the establishments where the killer is possibly choosing his victims. When Kevin unknowingly criticizes her software, a stressed Garcia snaps at him, and hangs up.
