Line 1:

=== Neal Caffrey (Matt Bomer) ===
{{quote| ''"For the record, I still maintain that I basically turned myself in."''}}
 
Neal is a con man, a forger, an artist, a thief, a charmer, a rogue, and a scoundrel. And he's very, very good at all of that.
Line 41:
 
=== Peter Burke (Tim DeKay) ===
{{quote| ''"I wear a badge; he wears a tracking anklet."''}}
Peter is an FBI agent in the white collar crimes unit. He's a straight arrow, and he's dedicated to his profession. He's as good at his job as Neal. He's dedicated to his wife, like many cops, but he actually manages to make it up to her when the job gets in the way.
 
Line 62:
----
=== Elizabeth Burke (Tiffani Thiessen) ===
{{quote| ''"Or maybe you've been chasing him so long you don't know how to stop?"''}}
Elizabeth is Peter's wife. Like the typical "cop's wife", she has to suffer her husband's dedication to his job: frequent absences and missing important occasions. Unlike the typical cop wife, she puts up with this with good grace.
 
Line 71:
* [[Odd Friendship]]: With Mozzie.
* [[Official Couple]]: With her husband.
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: When kidnapped, she rescues herself. Not by resorting to typical seduction tricks, but by {{spoiler|manipulating her guard (by telling him he'll start sweating if the dog bite he got was infected, then turning up the heat.) While he was out looking for bandages, she then figures out a way to throw a chair through shatterproof glass.}}
* [[Understanding Boyfriend|Understanding Wife]]: She, resignedly, accepts the problems of Peter's job. And Neal's lifestyle. And Mozzie's quirks. She's the living god of, "You're just plain okay."

=== Mozzie (Willie Garson) ===
{{quote| ''"It's about doing what we want to do. Who cares about nine-to-five's and 401-Ks. Playing by the rules only makes... borders. They just... take away everything that's good about living life."''}}
Mozzie has a criminal mind, but not a criminal soul. You can trust him with your life, but you'd be daft to trust him with a dollar. (Thank you, [[Terry Pratchett|Sir Pterry]].)
 
Line 98:
* [[Action Girl]]
* [[Butch Lesbian]] / [[Lipstick Lesbian]]: A blend between some of the less stereotypical qualities of both (dresses nicely, slams big guy's heads against cars). Her sexuality it never, ''ever,'' played for titillation or laughs, and it doesn't define her personality.
* [[Chuck Cunningham Syndrome]]: Zig-zagged. In season one, she disappeared after two episodes and was replaced by [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute]] agent Lauren Cruz. Then Cruz disappears right before the season one finale and Diana comes back for good.
* [[Dirty Harriet]]: She plays a [[High -Class Call Girl]] in "Need to Know".
* [[Kicking Ass in All Her Finery]]: Whenever she needs to go undercover.
* [[Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping]]: Occasionally. Justified by her childhoods in England.
Line 109:
 
=== Clinton Jones (Sharif Atkins) ===
Another one on Peter's team.
 
* [[Good with Numbers]]

=== June (Diahann Carroll) ===
{{quote| '''Peter:''' ''That's not jewelry on his ankle, you know. He's a felon.''<br />
'''June:''' ''So was Byron.'' }}
Neal's landlady. Her husband was a con-man. She appreciate's Neal's... ''joie de vivre.''
Line 126:
----
=== Garret Fowler (Noah Emmerich) ===
{{quote| ''"Well, aren't you clever, Agent Burke."''}}
He's a dirty cop! Or...
 
Line 138:
----
=== Vincent Adler (Andrew McCarthy) ===
{{quote| ''"Nice try, Neal."''}}
Okay. This guy's just dirty. A corporate sleaze.
