An ardent patriot, Hex was fanatical in her pursuit of suspected terrorists and was given the latitude to operate as she saw fit, which led her to use extreme and brutal methods, including personally executing suspects when they refused to cooperate. This behavior makes her an unhinged and vindictive individual. It is implied that the death of her fiance in the September 11 attacks was largely responsible for her current behavior. She was willing to seduce Spin to get him to talk.
