Knight Rider... Other Characters

Sarah Graiman

is the daughter of Charles Graiman and childhood friend of Mike Traceur. She is a 24 year-old Ph.D. student at Stanford when the movie starts. K.I.T.T. contacts her to let her know that her father, who created both him and the original K.I.T.T. has gone missing. With Mike, she and K.I.T.T. go on a search for him.

Trivia

  • In Episode 102: Journey to the End of Knight she tells Mike that her bucket list of things to do before she dies includes summiting Kilimanjaro, sailing around the world, and making love on a beach while listening to Puccini.



Charles Graiman




is the father of Sarah Graiman, and designer of both the Knight Industries Two Thousand and Knight Industries Three Thousand versions of K.I.T.T.

It was Charles Graiman who chose to send K.I.T.T. to Mike Traceur for help in the Knight Rider movie.

In the first episode of the 2008 Knight Rider television

series it can be seen that he is very proud of K.I.T.T. when he is able to adapt quickly to survive a missile impact. While worried about his daughter's safety in the burning car, he is also able to put aside his concerns and focus on downloading the data she obtained, even if it means putting her into slight additional danger. At the end of the episode, he has a brief conversation with Alex Torres about Mike's missing memories from Iraq, which suggests that he knows something about what happened.



Billy Morgan

is the head research technician at Knight Industries.

He has seven advanced degrees in math and physics, including

  • applied physics
  • quantum physics
  • mechanical engineering
  • electrical engineering
  • chemistry
  • discrete mathematics
  • applied mathematics
He collects comic books and sci-fi collectibles, and is a Doctor Who fan. He enjoys games such as Planetary Warcraft and Gears of War. His hobbies also include making homemade rockets. Billy is very squeamish. In Episode 101: Knight in Shining Armor, he throws up whe n the "package" has his thumb cut off, and then faints when KITT cauterizes the wound.


Zoe Chae



is the office administrator for Knight Industries. Although she seems ditsy at times, she is actually quite intelligent and can hold her own in the

secretive environment. She speaks 9 languages. Her sense of humor is quite snarky, and frequently aimed at Billy Morgan.


In Episode 103: Knight of the Iguana, she and Mike go undercover together as a honeymooning surfer couple. She is assigned to the mission because she can surf and speaks Spanish. Her glee in the role makes Mike uncomfortable.

Trivia

  • In Episode 104: A Hard Day's Knight, Mike, under the influence of a truth serum, reveals that Billy calls her the "Asian Sensation" behind her back.





Alex Torres


is an F.B.I. agent and the boss of Knight Industries. His focus is on the success of the mission, rather than the safety of the agents.

In Episode 101: Knight in Shining Armor, K.I.T.T. discovers that most of his records are classified. In a short scene with Charles Graiman at the end of the episode it is revealed that he is somehow linked to Mike's missing memories, and determined to keep Mike from remembering everything.
