Character Biography

Flash

Only a few seconds of Vogel's flashforward has been shown. In it, he is standing outside the Benfords' home with another man and informs this man that "Mark Benford is dead." Vogel then turns and sees Charlie Benford looking out the door at them. This corroborates Charlie's flashforward. ("Better Angels")

After the Blackout

Vogel meets Mark Benford and Demetri Noh at Chek Lap Kok Airport in Hong Kong. Vogel initially claimed to be the FBI legal attaché in Hong Kong, and he urged the two FBI agents to leave Hong Kong. Vogel later helped defuse an armed confrontation between Hong Kong police, Nhadra Udaya, Udaya's men, Benford, and Noh after Benford had taken Udaya hostage. While Benford and Noh are in the airport to leave Hong Kong, Benford realized that Vogel was not an FBI agent; Vogel admitted to being with the CIA and told Benford that the FBI is a very small piece of the Mosaic puzzle. ("A561984")

After Mark and Demitri return to Los Angeles, Vogel follows, and becomes a part of the task force and gives orders in a manner indicative of a supervisor. In Mark's absence, Vogel works with Demitri. The two track down and discover the bodies of the paramedics, and also the missing ambulance. They are present when the ambulance explodes. Vogel, noting that the kidnappers are anticipating their moves, suggests that the killers in Mark's flash had visions of their own, and are using that knowledge to get the drop on the investigation. ("Revelation Zero, Part 1")
