Fornell is introduced to us in the first episode. Joe Spano's reoccurring role on NCIS is a treat.

In Enigma, Todd says "We've worked with him (Fornell) before." Dinozzo adds "we just don't particularly like him." One of Fornell's agents replies "So you do know him." Gibbs and Fornell have their first elevator chat.

As his character has developed, we learned that he married (and divorced) Gibbs' ex-wife (mentioned as second wife until Shannon was revealed, now called third wife). Fornell had a daughter with her.
