Chris Bolling is an FBI agent and Erica Evans's 3rd partner, who replaced Sarita Malik. He was transferred from Washington D.C., and according to Paul Kendrick is the Director's "Go-To Guy".
Initially, Erica was very worried about him being a Visitor, despite them being friends since attending Quantico academy together. Bolling accompanied Erica to talk to Father Jack Landry, who he started to believe was Fifth Column, however Erica appeared to have convinced him it was a waste of time. In truth, Bolling, revealing in a conversation with Assistant Director Paul Kendrick that he was brought in to watch Erica's behaviour, began to suspect Erica of being involved with Fifth Column after seeing, along with Kendrick, Erica talking to Jack in a surveillance recording. ("Unholy Alliance")
He, along with Erica, were assigned the task of guarding against an attack on the Concordia gala. When Jack and Fifth Column-disguised protesters rioted, Bolling was ordered to deal with them. This allowed Erica the opportunity to let Hobbes and Eli Cohn into the building, to get a clear shot at Anna. Following the shooting of Marcus, he becomes suspicious of Erica, and with Paul Kendrick's support, formally requested the Justice Department investigate Erica.("Concordia")
Shortly after, the FBI gets an anonymous tip telling them about the location of Fifth Column Leader Eli Cohn at a New York building. Since Erica is under suspicion, he and Paul Kendrick decide not to inform Erica about the tip-off.
When the FBI surround the building, it was Bolling who receives a call from Erica, and following Erica's appearance on a balcony, while being held hostage by the Fifth Column.
Bolling became angry that Erica was being held hostage and wanted her released, and even blames Jack when he spots Jack outside the building. Bolling was then very happy when Erica was released (along with Fifth Column disguised as civilians and the other hostages). However, his happiness is short-lived. When a fire-fight breaks out between the FBI and Eli Cohn's men, he restrains Erica when she tries to assist Joe Evans to get out of harms way. He then witnesses Joe Evans death in the crossfire and soberly watches on as Erica mourns to the death of Joe Evans. At this juncture, he agreed with Paul Kendrick that Erica was innocent and cancelled their investigation into her, completely convinced Erica was not Fifth Column. ("Siege")
