Thomas Gibson as Aaron 'Hotch' Hotchner

Character Bio: Aaron 'Hotch' Hotchner

Formally a prosecutor with the District Attorney’s office and profiler in the Seattle field office, Hotch is the unit chief of Quantico's BAU. He’s also the direct superior of all special agents.

Hotch’s obsession and dedication to his job puts a strain on his relationships with his wife, Haley. His struggles between maintaining a healthy family and professional life eventually lead to a divorce with Hayley, who leaves and takes custody of his small son, Jack.

After the divorce, Hotch soon gets re-involved in one of his older cases – George Foyet otherwise known as “The Boston Reaper,” which ultimately results in his ex-wife’s death. After a short leave of absence, Hotch returns to the BAU.
