He is an NCIS Special Amanuensis in Accuse, and the senior agent assigned to the Office of Special Projects. He first appeared in the NCIS season half-dozen episode "Legend (Function I)".
Background [edit]
Before working at NCIS, Callen previously worked for the CIA, DEA and FBI. Several episodes across the seasons reference his stint with the Bureau and in seasons i and two, it is revealed that while with the CIA, Callen worked alongside recurring NCIS character, Trent Kort (David Dayan Fisher), and was partnered with Tracy Rosetti (Marisol Nichols). Equally role of their undercover mission in Uzbekistan, Callen and Tracy "married", using the surname Keller. Post-obit this mission, where Callen accused Tracy of placing the success of the operation in a higher place both their professional and personal partnerships, the two 'divorced', with Callen joking that in the settlement Tracy received custody of Buddy, their domestic dog. The marriage and subsequent divorce were of course fake. In flavor 1, Callen is revealed to take worked with the DEA (on a articulation operation with the CIA, where he showtime met Arkady Kolchek) and the FBI.
Callen once served with his good friend Leroy Jethro Gibbs, who now works at the NCIS Headquarters located in the Washington Navy Yard. Callen specializes in deep undercover work. Prior to the series commencing, 1000. Callen and Sam Hanna had been partnered for two years (as per the season three episode "Partner") where they celebrate their 5-year partnership.
Thou. Callen grew up in foster care, never knowing who his parents were or fifty-fifty his outset proper name. In the show's first episode "Identity", it is revealed that he is chosen "Thousand" non because he dislikes his showtime proper name, but because he does not actually know what information technology stands for, as the system never told him. Further insights into his childhood come in season ane's "Pushback", where Hetty Lange and operational psychologist Dr. Nate Getz discuss how Callen lived in thirty-seven foster homes from the age of five to the age of xviii, sometimes moving every few days. The longest he ever stayed in one place was for three months at fourteen, when he lived with the family unit of a Russian daughter named Alina Rostoff (whom he called "little sister"). A flashback in the finale of season one forces Callen to recall he had an older sister who unfortunately died by drowning in a river. She was cached with the name of Hannah Lawson, while the real Hannah lived with the assumed proper noun of her expressionless foster friend, Amy Callen. Information technology has not yet been revealed why the two siblings were divide up and sent to reverse sides of America, although it tin can exist assumed this was on instruction of their father, in order to continue them condom from the Comescu family.
Callen's childhood was fraught with corruption which is referenced during various episodes. He readily identifies with characters who share a similar upbringing, understanding why kids bring together gangs or the military and knows exactly where runaway teens get together in LA. In flavour i ("Keeping It Real") he recalls that he once watched his foster father trounce his foster brother to expiry. In flavor iv, he shares how moving unexpectedly to a new home that wasn't quite so nice, made him close off his feelings. Callen also reassured a teenager that if yous slumber well on the offset night, information technology's a good home (season four, "Purity"). In "Reznikov.N" (season 5), Callen tells Kensi and Deeks that when he was 10, his foster father used to beat him with a broom handle. He was moved after a few weeks non considering he was driveling, but because he decided to smack his foster father over the head with the same weapon. During the flavour half-dozen episode "Rage," an undercover operation in prison sees him encounter a youth whose situation causes him to recall his troubled teenage years. Callen ran away from his last foster family, was arrested for robbing a storage locker and sent to a juvenile detention eye, which he described every bit hell. Afterwards three weeks he escaped, stole a motorcar, crashed it and was re-arrested, only to exist rescued on the street from the law by Hetty.
Over the grade of the seasons, Callen has discovered more nearly his identity and flashbacks in the season 2 finale prompted him to of a sudden recall that he spent part of his early babyhood on the Romanian coast of the Blackness Body of water.[2] He also uncovers repressed memories of witnessing his mother existence assassinated in front end of him when he was four. Early on in season three, Hetty finally tells Callen that she knew his female parent, Clara and she was her CIA handler. Callen's maternal line back to his granddad George Callen is revealed, also as the Romanian blood feud between the Callens and the Comescus. George Callen was OSS (which later became the CIA) and hunted Romanian war criminals after WWII and killed Comescus. He and then married a Romanian daughter, they had a daughter and returned to the US. A number of years after, Clara Callen undertook a CIA mission in Romania, unfortunately allowing the Comescus to verbal their revenge on George Callen'south daughter.
"Reznikov. Due north", the bear witness's 100th episode, was a landmark in Callen's journey of self-discovery. Until then the identity of his father was unknown merely the Comescus rails down and kidnap a man named Michael Reinhardt, painting a bulletin in blood on the wall of Reinhardt'south house, that they have his father. At gunpoint, Reinhardt tells Callen his proper noun is Nikita Reznikov and with his dying breath says to tell him he kept his promise (to keep runway of Callen – and presumably his sister). An annal search found Nikita Aleksandr Reznikov was a Russian Major in the KGB, who was arrested in 1974 and sent to the Gulag for helping families escape to the West.
While his friends address him every bit "K", Hetty refuses to exercise then, saying, "It's non a proper name, it's a letter." She instead addresses him as "Mr. Callen" ("Identity"). Once he discovers his total name, Hetty even so calls him "Mr. Callen" rather than Grisha. The balance of the team continue to refer to him every bit Callen, equally does his sis. Only his father calls him Grisha.
In addition to English, Callen is fluent in at to the lowest degree six other languages: Spanish, Polish, Russian, German (which is claimed to exist Austrian, and is usually completely butchered), Italian (with a Northern accent), and French.[3] Callen too claims to speak Czech and Romanian;[iv] furthermore, his Russian is arguably adept plenty to be taken for one, but not the other, Chechen dialect.[v] That fluency allowed Callen to infiltrate a Chechen terrorist cell in the flavour iv episode "The Chosen One" which eerily presaged the Boston Marathon bombing by Chechen immigrants less than three months later. The fake decease certificate shown by Hetty to Alexa Comescu in the season-two finale states that his date of birth is March 11, 1970.[half dozen] In the Season i episode "Search and Destroy" (S1:E4), Callen is shown easily reading Standard arabic, with plenty fluency to interpret on the wing into idiomatic English.
In "Archangel", Callen states that the get-go time he fired a gun was at the age of 20. In the same episode, information technology was revealed that Hetty has beaten him on a race upward the NCIS stone wall 3 times in a row, and Callen refuses to claiming her to a re-match despite goading from Sam Hanna.
Earlier flashbacks in the flavor two finale saw Callen of a sudden remember that he spent part of his early childhood on the Romanian coast of the Black Ocean.[two] Equally an developed, his foster-sis Rostoff was secretly sent to watch Callen and to foreclose him from being killed by Russian mobsters. Callen is fluent in Russian due to his erstwhile relationship with the Rostoff family. Throughout the kickoff season, information technology is shown that Callen is homeless, staying temporarily with his various NCIS colleagues and sometimes in the Operations Middle itself.
