Biography
Michael Bishop
He had served in Naval Intelligence, stationed in the Persian Gulf in 2001.
Kasim Tariq killed his wife Elizabeth and daughter Haley in a car bomb. He was recovering in a hospital bed where Michael attempted to overdose on morphine only to be interrupted when Percy entered the room leading to the first meeting between the two. Percy offers Michael the chance to join Division and make a difference. With nothing to lose, Michael accepted the offer leading to him joining Division hoping that they will assist him in locating Tariq soon, so he could get his revenge. (Episode: One Way)
Starting as any other Division Agent, Michael made it quickly obvious he is one of the finest agents Division has. After short time Percy made him Head of Operations and head trainer in head of new recruits. He was also made aware of existence of Black Boxes.
He meets Nikita after 'saving' her from Death Row after she killed police officer under the influence of Ketamine. She soon becomes one of Division's best recruits, even going so far as to beating Michael's former record of long distance shooting, and visibly Michael's favorite. The two become very close, prompting Birkhoff, Amanda and even Percy to joking about his evident feelings for her. It isn't until their first overseas mission together in 2007 that they act upon their feelings, however, their actions are proved in vain when Michael professes he cannot move on with her whilst burdened with the knowledge that the man who killed his family is still alive. Unfortunately for Michael, before he can begin to find Turiq, Nikita meets and falls in love with Daniel Monroe a year after their kiss; something that visibly distresses him.

Personality and attributes
Michael is an overprotective kind of person, especially to the people he loves, like Nikita.
Although at one point realizing that Percy is not the man of honor he pretends to be, he stays there in order to protect recruits as best as he can.
Michael and Nikita have a long history together following their time at Division. It is clear to everyone that the two shared romantic feelings for each other, enough to prompt Amanda, Birkhoff and Percy to joke about it. However, only Michael and Nikita themselves know they actually acted on these feelings in St Petersburg 2 years before she went rogue, only for it to be in vain after he professes he can't move on with her until he avenges his wife and daughter. One year later Nikita meets Daniel. Daniel ends up being killed by Division - after they get engaged.
