Auggie was replaced by Calder Michaels , the former Colombian station chief who got the job because of Henry. Formerly Auggie served as the head of the CIA's Office of Special Projects, a unit mandated to "interface amongst the various directorates and help exploit efficiency opportunities to minimize bureaucracy. Originally, he stated that he had lost his sight when he had left the Humvee to check what he thought was a dead dog but turned out to be a disguised IED. Auggie truly understands bureaucracy, but doesn't seem to like it, speaking with contempt of the 7th Floor.
He also has vast knowledge of the CIA and, according to Joan, has the place wired. Not much is known about Auggie before he joined the CIA. Also in the episode, he states that his ability to lie well is due in part to having four 'mean-ass' older brothers.
When he was in high school, he won the wrestling state championship twice. At this age, Auggie already had advanced computer skills. In , Auggie was attached to the 82nd Airborne Division and held the rank of Captain. General Oubash gave the greenlight for the unit to find and kill an Iraqi who was known as the Jack of Diamonds of the Terrorist Deck. On the way to Tikrit, Nasir stops the humvee as he sees an obstacle in the road and after discussion with a goatherder, shoots at the dog carcass.
The ensuing explosion leads Auggie to order Billy to find another road to Tikrit. At the safe house, Auggie is giving his unit their orders when Billy is shot and killed by the Jack of Diamonds from the rooftop. In the ensuing gunfight, Chris is wounded, forcing Nasir to tend to the wounded soldier while Jason covered Auggie's entrance into the safe house. Auggie quickly eliminates the Jack of Diamonds as well as his bodyguards. After making sure the man on the card matches the deceased man before him, Auggie overhears on the deceased terrorist's radio of a trap being set.
Overlooking the scene of where his unit is, Auggie sees Nasir running away from Jason and Chris after throwing his backpack under the humvee. Realizing the danger, Auggie attempts to warn his men of the imminent threat but as he nears the humvee, it explodes, killing Jason and Chris while permanently blinding him.
