History[]

McSweeten is a Special Agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). His partner is Special Agent Taggert.

When the Leverage team first met Special Agent McSweeten, he is working on the Nicky Moscone case in Los Angeles, California ("The Wedding Job"). Some time later, both McSweeten and his partner Taggert showed up in the desert town of Juan (The Bank Shot Job), where they arrested local meth dealers during a bank robbery.

After the Leverage team reassembled in Boston, they met Special Agent McSweeten again, this time when he was working on the Daniel Fowler case ("The Fairy Godparents Job").

Later, Special Agent McSweeten is responsible for transporting Mark Vector. However, he does link up with Special Agent Hagen (Parker) during the job, and explains that Taggert is on a special detail at FBI headquarters in Quantico, VA. He also partners with a Special Agent known only as Bob in "The Boiler Room Job" while Taggert is recovering from a ferret bite.

Every time they come in contact with Alec Hardison and Parker, both McSweeten and Taggert think that they are real FBI agents. And from McSweeten's very first encounter with them, it's quite obvious that he has a fondness for Parker.

He is Catholic. He is an only child. He grew up in the Portland area. His mother died before his father did, who was a decorated FBI agent (died of pancreatic cancer in season 5).

By the time of the events in "The Harry Wilson Job", he had become the head of the FBI Counterterrorism Division.
