Who is Theodore Bagwell in Prison Break?
T-Bag — charm, scripture and a straight razor · Fox River Eight
Theodore Bagwell (T-Bag — charm, scripture and a straight razor) is a character in Prison Break, part of Fox River Eight. Theodore 'T-Bag' Bagwell runs Fox River's white supremacist bloc with honeyed Tennessee courtesy over a record — children, murders — that makes guards check their keys twice. He invites himself into the escape by smelling it on the air, and secures his seat with the show's most ruthless logic: what he knows keeps him necessary; what he is keeps everyone terrified. T-Bag is the series' cockroach and its dark id — unkillable, unforgivable, and written with just enough broken-boy backstory to make the audience hate how well they understand him.
