Marley Shelton as FBI Special Agent Rachel Young – Hood’s handler. Though she is employed to protect his life, she has also said that her job is “to protect him from himself” – something he makes very difficult for her. Hood might annoy her from time to time but she does care about his well-being, viewing his many techniques with a kind of exasperated affection, though she is frequently embarrassed by and for him. Rachel mainly gets annoyed when he gets too caught up in an investigation and does something stupid, or when he does things like accidentally sit on his panic button. It is noted throughout the series that Dr. Hood is her only friend, though male characters frequently flirt with her. She is the latest in a line of Hood’s protectors, but she refuses to let him “drive her away like he did those others.”
