Adam Kaufman is a fictional character from the TV series 24, played by Zachary Quinto. He was introduced at the beginning of the third season and appeared in all but one episode that season but has not been mentioned or seen since.
Chronologically, Adam's first appearance is in 24: The Game when he is brought into CTU as an analyst to replace Sean Walker who was killed during an attack on CTU. He assists CTU by cracking several codes, extracting files, and locating the site where terrorists have planted a bomb.
Adam is still working at CTU at the start of the third season, though he has developed an adversarial relationship with fellow analyst Chloe O'Brian. Chloe believes that Adam has a problem working with women, though Chloe herself proves difficult to work with at times. Adam also has some initial difficulties with Kim Bauer because of her perceived lack of experience, though he backs off once she proves herself capable.
The search for the Cordilla virus throughout the day hits Adam personally when he learns that his sister is among those infected, though he continues his work dilligently.
Adam is apparently no longer working at CTU at the start of the fourth season. The circumstances of his departure and his whereabouts are unknown. It is possible that he left CTU after the death of his sister Sarah.
