Alex Mahone
Alex Mahone was one of the most important characters in the show in two different ways. When he was fist introduced in Prison Break, he was an FBI agent who was assigned to find the Fox River Eight. The Fox River Eight were all the prisoners who escaped Fox River. Alex was one of the only people who knew what Michael Scofield was thinking and he was able to think out all of his plans. Michael and Alex ended up in a prison called Sona where anything could happen in the prison and the guards would have nothing to do with it. Alex saved Michael's life in the prison and they both ended up escaping prison. After this, Alex and Michael became best friends. Alex decided to help Michael find "Scylla" which was the only thing that could help bring down the company. During this process, Alex's son was killed which made Alex want to retrieve "Scylla" even more. He helped Michael in so many ways and he is one of my favorite people in the show.
