Adam Fuchs

Agent Adam Fuchs is a minor recurring character who first appeared in Penelope.

Background
No specific information has been disclosed about Fuchs' history. What is known is that he was an FBI agent, working in the Internal Affairs division that investigated other agents suspected of breaking laws while on the job.

Penelope
Fuchs was selected to supervise the investigation of Garcia following her shooting at the hands of Deputy Jason Clark Battle. The investigation ensued after it was discovered she was looking into cases Battle was involved with without approval or supervision, which was a breach of FBI policy. When the other members of the BAU protested against the IA investigation, Fuchs revealed to them that Garcia was a criminal hacker prior to being hired by Hotch in 2004 during a case. As the investigation proceeded, he proved to be antagonistic towards the team. Later, he got into contact with Battle himself and told him about Garcia looking into his cases. Seeing this as a chance to divert attention away from his crimes, Battle has him escort him into the BAU headquarters in Quantico.

There, they meet up with Kevin Lynch, who recognizes Battle as Garcia's shooter, as do the team. As Kevin deletes files relating to Battle at the Deputy's request, while Hotch and Rossi pretend to be oblivious to Battle, Fuchs is the only one who is unaware of the true situation. When Battle realizes what is going on, he holds Fuchs hostage with a handgun as the agents confront him. Rossi distracts Battle long enough for JJ to sneak up behind him and shoot him between the eyes, killing him and rescuing Fuchs. As the scene is cleaned up, Fuchs was last seen traumatized by the standoff.
