"And here I thought I was getting to play bad cop."

- John Garrett

John Garrett is HYDRA's undercover operative inside S.H.I.E.L.D..

Early Life
After joining S.H.I.E.L.D., John Garrett was taught by his Supervising Officer Nick Fury. John Garrett was partnered with Phil Coulson in many missions, and later acted as Supervising Officer of Agent Grant Ward.

When Garrett got promoted to Clearance Level 7 he continued doing field work, instead of choosing a position as Field Officer.

The Guest House
"How was the drive from Istanbul?" "Pretty please, it is."

- Alpha and John Garrett

Garrett assisted Agent Phil Coulson on his raid of the Guest House in order obtain the mysterious miracle drug GH.325 as a part of Coulson's effort to save the life of wounded S.H.I.E.L.D. consultant, Skye, who had taken two bullets to the stomach.

Chasing Deathlok and The Clairvoyant
After Skye managed to recover from her wounds, she informed them of everything she saw in Ian Quinn's Italian compound, especially the survival of Michael Peterson and the Cybertek Prosthetic Leg acquired by Quinn.

Every S.H.I.E.L.D. agent in the United States was later informed about Peterson, and agent Garrett and his team were appointed as running point in his search.

Garrett was present with Coulson when he and his team were lead to an abandoned race track in Pensacola, Florida. During this raid the decoy Clairvoyant Thomas Nash was found and killed by Agent Ward.

Conflict with S.H.I.E.L.D.
At some point during HYDRA's infiltration of S.H.I.E.L.D, two UAVs were sent to attack Garrett's plane through orders of Agent Hand. Garrett survived this incident however with the help from Coulson and the Bus; currently being rerouted to the Hub.

Garrett returned once again to the Bus and Coulson's team after being saved from the UAVs. While being forced to the Hub, the team made the discovery that S.H.I.E.L.D. had been infiltrated by HYDRA, and theorised that Agent Hand is the Clairvoyant.

Once landed at the Hub, Garrett aided Coulson and his team into successfully sneaking past Hand's men, who had been ordered to open fire on the Bus's crew. Using technology designed by Fitz, the team were able to successfully escape the plane without detection.

Betrayal, Arrest and Potential Escape
Under the impression of Coulson and his team that the Agent Hand was the Clairvoyant, Garrett attempted to justify to Coulson that Hand deserved to die as opposed sedated using an I.C.E.R.. This however backfired on Garrett when Coulson noted that he mentioned Raina being subjected to the same machine used on him during his capture; something Coulson never told anyone or wrote on reports. Coulson suddenly realised the reason behind Garrett's coincidental appearance, he had lead the Clairvoyant straight to the GH.325 drug.

This revelation was also met with the confirmation that Garrett was an agent of Hydra, after ordering two of Hand's guards to kill their colleagues. With thanks to Ward and Skye however, Garrett was arrested by Hand and her men after being attacked by the rest of Coulson and his team. It was confirmed by Hand afterwards that Garrett would be taken to the Fridge, with herself and Ward personally ensuring he is locked away.

While being transported to the Fridge however, Agent Hand and two S.H.I.E.L.D. agents guarding Garrett were killed by Ward. It is current unknown if Ward is also a HYDRA agent of is being controlled in some form by Garrett.
