Zahra Taylor. Zahra Taylor ( Amanda Warren) is the Mayor of New Orleans from Season 4 onward. Previously the Interim Mayor after Mayor Hamilton's arrest, she was elected on a special election against conservative Vernon Butler. Her campaign was assisted by Wade and presumably the entire NCIS team.
Hannah Khoury ( Necar Zadegan) is a former NCIS Senior Field Agent. After Pride is promoted to Special Agent in Charge, she transfers to the New Orleans field office as a Supervisory Special Agent (S.S.A.) to replace him as the team's direct supervisor.
Isler goes "off book" to pursue an opioid theft ring in the Season 4 episode "The Last Mile", and the trail leads him to New Orleans. In this episode it is revealed that he was once hooked on pain killers after an injury. He is coached by NCIS Agent Sonja Percy in his determination to accompany her in an undercover sting operation, and he performs well. In the closing episodes of Season 5, "The River Styx" Parts 1 & 2, Isler has traveled undercover to the disputed territory of South Ossetia in the Caucasus in pursuit of Avery Walker and Apollyon — the same criminals pursued by Pride and NCIS New Orleans. Isler is taken hostage by a local military warlord, and Pride and LaSalle team up with a local military operator to ransom Isler and escape to nearby friendly territory in the Republic of Georgia. Pride stays behind to give cover for LaSalle and an injured Isler to get away via motorboat. Isler participates then in a scheme to root out a mole in U.S. intelligence by faking his death, claimed to be due to wounds (rather than injuries) incurred in his rescue. He is put into a deep sleep and carried off the aircraft in New Orleans in a flag-draped coffin, only to be re-awakened in secret by coroner Loretta Wade injecting him with adrenaline. Meanwhile Pride ends up in the hands of Apollyon and its leader Avery Walker, who had earlier escaped from prison in New Orleans.
Cassius Pride ( Stacy Keach) was Dwayne Pride's incarcerated father, who has a shady past, being a veritable kingpin in the "running" of New Orleans city and parish, "back in the day." He is in prison for being caught and convicted of robbing a casino. His son Dwayne visits him from time-to-time, and Cassius feels his son shouldn't be so bitter about being raised in an underworld figure's home. Dwayne thinks maybe trying to make up for his father's crooked deeds is one reason why he went so far the other way, becoming a top law enforcement officer and agent. Dwayne's own mother had a nervous breakdown and had to move "halfway round the globe" just to get away from Cassius's influence and adulterous ways. Dwayne told his father that prison is the only place he can be kept where he would be safe from himself. Because of Cassius's old underworld experiences and connections, Dwayne sometimes consults with him on certain cases. Even in prison Cassius remains the semi-lovable con artist, trying to leverage his son into writing a letter of support for his annual parole hearings; even trying to use his granddaughter Laurel to work on Dwayne's sentiments. Eventually, Dwayne does help Cassius at the end of Season 1 by writing him that long-sought letter of support to the parole board, although it is revealed later that Cassius did not actually make parole until sometime after Season 4's episode "Mirror, Mirror", where he is still in prison. Whenever Cassius does make parole, he stays in New Orleans for a while, but by the time of Season 5's "Tick Tock", he had been living a "good life" in "Evansville, Kentucky", in some kind of witness cover program, with armed federal agents protecting him; it was from here that he was kidnapped by Apollyon and held for ransom along with Dr. Loretta Wade. Some time during or after prison, he had taken up painting, which his granddaughter Laurel thinks is simple but cute, saying his trees look like "green marshmallows". Cassius has a very pragmatic view of life and crime, as exemplified in his involvement in his son's childhood sports endeavors. Cassius: "I'm on my way to fix things right now." Dwayne: "Like you fixed my Little League career?" Cassius: "Hey, you were a natural-born shortstop. The coach just didn't see it." Dwayne: "So you planted a brick of hash in his truck and had him arrested." Cassius, laughing: "Well it worked, didn't it?" Dwayne told his father that in spite of all his shady history, that he trusts Cassius to be the one person that loves the people and city of New Orleans "almost as much as me." As revealed in the Season 5 episode "In The Blood", one of younger Cassius's (Justin Miles) long-term extra-marital affairs produced a boy named Jimmy Boyd (Craig Cauley Jr., as the young Jimmy; & Jason Alan Carvell, as the adult Jimmy), a half-brother to Dwayne, but to whom Cassius devoted quite a bit of time when Jimmy was young, teaching him to fish at his bayou cabin, and even giving him Dwayne's bicycle. Cassius is murdered in the Season 5 episode "Tick Tock" (continued into the first minutes of the subsequent episode "Vindicta"); Cassius's courage and resourcefulness here saves Dr. Loretta Wade's life, as well as two other hostages. Cassius's last act was saving the life of his son Dwayne while the two of them were freeing captives, by stepping in the way of several bullets fired at Dwayne by assassin Amelia Parsons Stone.
Pride went on to have an illustrious career that took him around the world, including Russia and South Africa, culminating in his return to Louisiana to head up NCIS operations at the United States Marine Corps Support Facility in Algiers, Louisiana before NCIS opened a proper NCIS Resident Agency in New Orleans.
Agent Naomi Parsons ( Kate Beahan) is an Australian ADFIS Investigator seconded to New Orleans, and a romantic interest for Dwayne Pride, in the Season 2 episode "Foreign Affairs." In due course, she became too aggressive in her pursuit of a U. S. Navy suspect in a case involving a dead Australian naval officer, stepped on Pride's toes, attempted to usurp jurisdiction, and set back the New Orleans team's case. Pride pushes back and gets her removed from the case, prompting coroner Loretta Wade to laugh in declaring, "Ooh! Takes talent to get under Dwayne Pride's skin!" Pride's daughter Laurel thinks Agent Parsons would be a good choice for a girlfriend for her dad. Parsons finally confesses to Pride that she was once a well-off lawyer whose pursuit of justice brought her into the investigative side of the law; now she's still "hard-charging", providing answers and comfort and closure to service members' families who have suffered the loss of a loved one. A sympathetic Pride responds, "I know that racket." He invites her back on the case.
Christopher Lasalle ( Lucas Black) was a senior NCIS Special Agent. He is also a native of Alabama, he was born in 1982. Lasalle was first a detective out of the New Orleans Police Department 's Fifth District at the time of Hurricane Katrina and then spent seven years on the NOPD vice squad.
The big break was finding a CGIS agent who had been mysteriously forced out of his job because he had looked into the wrong anomaly.
Bryce, cut off by his mother, got his revenge by using the family shipping company for smuggling.
LaSalle is the one who's suffered the most from Hannah's presence, in part because he's no longer Pride's second in command.
Not that they got very far. We're used to seeing the politicians and the mobsters of New Orleans, but the rich, well, they're different.
