Payback
You need help. They're there for you.
Corporations, bad guys that everyone thinks are good guys, even the government-they take advantage of you. They mess up your life, hurting you and your family, making things in your life wrong. This crew works to help you, no payment needed. A thief who won't take no for an answer, a grifter that you can't stop looking at, a hitter who you can't read but knows hundreds of ways to take someone down, and a hacker that's slightly out there, all brought together by one mastermind, a good guy that used to be a bad guy; that's all you need. Trust them, and your life will go back to the way things are supposed to be.
John Mathews ;; Colin Ferguson
Mastermind
John Matthews used to work as an officer of the law. That would mean he's good, right? Not so much. He was getting payed by judges and other federal employees to selectively seek out citizens. Someone who 'wrongly' accused them of things they could potentially go to jail for. John was payed to find the simplest thing they did wrong and arrest them so that his co-workers wouldn't lose their job. After pulling over the judge for drunk driving, and his present and future jobs being threatened, John decided it was time to get some payback. He called on four other people he had known for being the best at what they do, and started getting payback for himself and others in need.
Emily Watson ;; Karen Gillan
Grifter
She was young, sure, but growing up training under the best grifter in the world had payed off. At only 25 she had stolen more things than most grifters could ever dream of. She could shop, oh boy could she shop, not for things that she simply loved, but for things that could fit her Mrs. Danuser, the heiress from Switzerland who's late husband left her $38 million, or Duchess Penelope Nethers, her personal favorite, whom she played at all the best parties and soirées she attended. Emily Watson was simply the best grifter, after Ms. Devereaux, of course.
Trevor Hilts ;; Matt Smith
Hacker
Need a passport, or a new identity, or even if you need to order something online, Trevor Hilts was the guy for you. Fresh out of high school, Trevor became fascinated with computers, and attended MIT. After stealing $3.4 million with a simple click of a button, and crashing Wall Street, he ran off to his home land of England, and has since stayed under the radar. Trevor can spend days on end in front of a computer, doing everything and nothing. His favorite past time is looking up everything there is to know about anyone he meets or heard about on TV.
Charlotte Grayston ;; Alex Kingston
Thief
Diamonds, paintings, artifacts, even shoes. Charlotte's stolen them all. Sometimes she steals for jobs, and others she steals for fun, the challenge, the adrenaline rush she gets running from the most high-tech security system in the world. Sure, she liked dressing up for that part of the con, but she liked to leave that to the experts and do what she did best-stealing the most valuable things in the world. Without getting caught, of course. Charlotte had the world record for stealing the most valuable things without leaving a trace of evidence as to who she was, but the police knew who did it. No one could be this good without being Charlotte Grayston.
Trent Downs ;; Iwan Rheon
Hitter
He was the quiet one, the one no one expected anything from. No one necessarily noticed him, but they didn't come up to him, either. Unless you messed with him or someone he cared about, that is. You wrong him, and it very well might be the last thing you did. Trent Downs had trained in the most hardcore fighting techniques in the world, and had perfected them all. It was his niche, fighting. He didn't beat people up for no reason, though. But he thought that actions speak louder than words, and sometimes certain people needed to learn this first hand.
