Hartley is unlike any other character fans have met on "Agents of SHIELD," and she plays an important role in the rebuilding of SHIELD. "My character's a mercenary. I mean, she's an agent, but she's a mercenary," Lawless says. "Having said that, she is the one person that Coulson knows is not a double agent, that is going to hold to the SHIELD principles. To the very bitter end, she's on the side of SHIELD."

CTV.ca: Back in June, Chloe and Elizabeth were here and I asked them if Grant Ward was redeemable or a lost cause. What do you say?
Brett Dalton: I don’t think anybody is a lost cause. I think that clearly Ward has a heart; clearly he has affection for Fitz. Agent Garrett even said that’s [Ward's] weakness, that he does in fact have sympathy for other people and if you’re going to be a mercenary, it’ll only get in the way. So yes, he does have a softer side and I think that comes from always being outside of the group and being picked on and he’s had a terrible childhood. I think he’s redeemable.
In other interviews, you’ve described your character as an anti-hero as opposed to a villain. What separates the two for you?
When I think of villain, I think of someone in capital letters VILLAIN. Like comic book-y, never been a good guy. The anti-hero thing… [Ward] hitched his wagon to a particular horse and he’s made some choices along the way and they had consequences. If any one of us were in that situation, we might have made similar choices. An anti-hero is a believable person who has made choices along the way that have resulted in him being less than heroic.
