Mandy is a fictional character, played by Mia Kirshner, on the television series 24. She is a terrorist and a professional assassin, and is notable for being one of the few longtime antagonists of the series to remain alive. Though there is a significant amount of time in between her appearances, her actions within the show are usually substantial and traumatic to the main characters.
After Ellen complained that Mandy's lesbian kiss in Season One was using lesbianism as a "sign of impending doom." Mandy is frequently referred to in the press and by fans as a "lesbian assassin," along with the qualifiers "sexy, slutty, diabolical." Mandy is also referred to by Jack as a "professional," comparing the Mandy character to himself.
Mandy appears in the first three episodes of the first season as part of the group hired by Andre Drazen to assassinate presidential candidate David Palmer. She has sex with Martin Belkin, a media photographer seated next to her on her flight to Los Angeles, during which time she steals his wallet. Mandy detonates a bomb on the 747 as she parachutes off to safety.
After landing safely in the Mojave Desert, Mandy hides Martin's identification in the sand. She later meets with Ira Gaines, the leader of Drazen's hit squad, to negotiate payment for Belkin's access and identification card. Mandy calls her accomplice and lover Bridgit, and asks her to bring the card when she is sure Gaines has the payment. When Bridgit arrives, she demands more money from Gaines than originally agreed upon. Gaines agrees to pay the additional money, and the three return to the desert and retrieve the card. Shortly after thanking Bridgit for the card, Gaines has her shot by a far-off sniper. He has the sniper put Mandy in his crosshairs as well, and then asks her if she's "in" for an unspecified job to be carried out during the following summer. Mandy, who has become visibly upset by Bridgit's death, reluctantly agrees, and Gaines calls off the sniper.
