Jack Fickler is the former director of the FBI and a minor character on Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior.

History[]

Fickler first appears in the show's pilot episode "Two of a Kind", where he promotes Simms after the Red Cell team closes a case in Cleveland, Ohio. He has later made a handful of other appearances in the season.

In the episode "The Time is Now", it is revealed that Fickler was once a BAU Team Leader, and becomes the central character when an unsub, Veronica Day, that he profiled a decade ago is granted a new trial. His profile is put into question and he asks Cooper to help him and to testify in open court. In a surprising twist, Day turns out to actually be innocent of one of the murders she was accused of, because the original ADA did not release exculpatory evidence to the defense.

Nothing is known about what has happened to him since, though by the events of "Gold Star", he had been replaced as FBI Director by Ray Madison.
