Eric Beal is a technical operator at NCIS stationed in Los Angeles. He often takes in calls from Director Leon Vance from NCIS Headquarters in Washington D.C. He is very geeky, and enjoys surfing and internet social networks. He, like Nate, often fails at attempts at humor. He is the main connection between agents in the field and the headquarters, often manipulating traffic cameras and hacking into networks and satellites in order to gain an advantage for the agents. He is familiar with Abby Sciuto, a main character from the original NCIS, and has grown quite fond of her. He was introduced in the back-door pilot.
