Ames White

Ames White is the season 2 replacement of Donald Lydecker's primary nemesis for Max. He is tasked with capturing and exterminating Manticore escapees.

Background
Ames White is the eldest son of the mysterious Sandeman. After Sandeman betrayed and left the Breeding Cult Ames and his younger brother, C.J., took the last name "White" to distance themselves from their father. He is married to Wendy Olsen-White and has one son with her, Ray White.

Hunting Transgenics
Ames is charged, by the Breeding Cult, to track down and exterminate all Transgenics that escaped from Manticore when it was destroyed by X5-452. He begins persuing Max (X5-452), once she escapes his custody. He tries to wipe out the transgenic population through the use of a bio-chemical, but his plan is destroyed due to Max.

It is also revealed through Ames's wife in a plea to Eyes Only that Ames' son, Ray, has gone missing. In the arranging of a meeting between Ray's kidnappers and Wendy and Max, it is revealed that Ames is a member of an ancient Breeding Cult and that he was behind his son's disappearance. Ames tries to kill Wendy, as is the custom among the cult, but is stopped, once again, by Max.

Ames nearly catches Max when she is critically injured in a shoot out trying to protect a little boy. She only narrowly manages to escape much to Whites displeasure.

Ames then takes the Transgenic situation public after Max and Logan Cale hide his son from him. Ames' taking the existance of transgenics public begins what can only be called a war against transgenics. This war culminates in the series finale with a fight between Max, Alec, Logan, and Joshua at Jam Pony against the Breeding Cult's best warriors the Phalanx.

Ames survives this battle, but is tied up to a post and is the only one to have not had his clothes stolen when Max, Logan, Alec, Joshua, Original Cindy, Sketchy, Gem, Dalton, and Mole made their escape.

[SPOILER] Ames White will die (in the third book "After the dark") by the hands of Joshua, that will take is head off.
