Prison Break Characters Season 3 [patched] Online
Based loosely on real-life Panamanian prison bosses, Lechero (Spanish for "Milkman") runs Sona from a stolen TV and a cell phone. He is charming, paranoid, and ruthless. Lechero initially sees Michael as a threat, then as a useful tool (an engineer who can fix the plumbing). Wisdom brings a weary dignity to the role—Lechero knows his kingdom is a cesspool, and he fears the day someone younger and hungrier comes for his throne.

Season 3 (2007-2008) relocates the action to in Panama—a lawless, crumbling hellhole where the guards do not enter, and the inmates run the show. The character dynamics shift dramatically.

Mahone enters Sona as a disgraced, detoxing wreck. After being abandoned by the Company and addicted to pills, he is the weakest man in the prison. This is Fichtner’s finest hour. Stripped of his FBI badge and smug confidence, Mahone is forced to rely on his arch-nemesis, Michael, to survive. Their dynamic evolves from pure hatred to a grudging, razor-sharp partnership.

In classic T-Bag fashion, he enters Sona as the lowest of the low (a gringo with one hand) and immediately begins manipulating. He doesn’t fight; he schemes. He becomes Lechero’s right-hand man by being the most obsequious, dangerous pet imaginable. While Michael plans the escape, T-Bag is planning a coup. Knepper is as delightfully sinister as ever, delivering lines that are Shakespearean one moment and horrifically racist the next. He is the id of the show.

Sara’s role in Season 3 is controversial. Due to Callies’ real-life pregnancy and contract disputes, her screen time is limited. She spends most of the season locked in a box, tortured off-screen by the Company’s agent, Gretchen. Her story is grim, and it culminates in the show’s most shocking moment: Michael receives a box containing her severed head (though this was later retconned in Season 4). It is a brutal, character-defining tragedy for Michael. 8. Gretchen Morgan / Susan B. (Jodi Lyn O'Keefe) Role: The Ice Queen Arc: The new villain.

The season opens with Michael in Sona, having been betrayed and imprisoned by the sinister "Company." His brother Lincoln is free on the outside, but the Company has kidnapped Michael’s love, Dr. Sara Tancredi, and Linc’s son, LJ.
