Everett K. Ross

Everett Kenneth Ross is a former CIA agent and a former Deputy Task Force Commander for the Joint Counter Terrorist Centre. While working with Thaddeus Ross, Ross was tasked to control and regulate any and all actions of the Avengers, in the wake of the creation of the Sokovia Accords, which had been designed to limit the heroics following several disastrous missions. However, Ross' plans had soon come into conflict with Captain America as the Winter Soldier had been targeted for his involvement in seemingly committing a sudden horrific terrorist act. After Tony Stark revealed that Helmut Zemo was the one to blame for those attacks as Zemo was apprehended by the Black Panther, before Ross took Zemo into custody.

Once he left the Joint Counter Terrorist Centre, Ross had then been tasked with tracking down Ulysses Klaue along with User, acting as his partner.

Everett K. Ross : (after he wakes up) "Is this Wakanda?" Shuri : (sarcastically) "No, it's Kansas."

Ulysses Klaue : "What do you actually know about Wakanda?" Everett K. Ross : "Um... Shepherds. Textiles. Cool outfits." Ulysses Klaue : "It's all a front. Explorers searched for it for centuries. El Dorado. The Golden City. They thought they could find it in South America, but it was in Africa the whole time. A technological marvel. All because it was built on a mound of the most valuable metal known to man. Isipho, they call it." "The gift"."

T'Challa : "Agent Ross." Everett K. Ross : "Your Highness." T'Challa : "You are buying from Klaue." Everett K. Ross : "What I'm doing or not doing on behalf of the U.S. government is none of your concern. Now, whatever the hell you're up to, do me a favor, stay out of my way." T'Challa : "I gave you Zemo." Everett K. Ross : "Didn't I keep it under wraps that the king of a third-world country runs around in a bulletproof cat suit? I'd say we were even. You really need to leave, now." T'Challa : "Klaue is leaving out that door with me. You've been warned."

Shuri : "The Black Panther lives. And when he fights for the fate of Wakanda, I will be right beside him." Nakia : "As will I." Everett K. Ross : "I'm in, too." (they all look at him) Everett K. Ross : "What? You're gonna need all the help you can get."

Everett K. Ross : "So this is a big mess, huh? I figured we could go good cop/bad cop. I'll talk to him first, then you guys go in." Okoye : [in Xosha] "We can't let him talk to Klaue alone." T'Challa : [in Xosha, too] "Better to let him talk to Klaue alone for five minutes than to make a scene here." [in English] T'Challa : "After your questioning, we will take him back to Wakanda with us." Everett K. Ross : "What? No. Look, I like you, a lot. But he's in my custody now. He's not going anywhere." [thumping him on the shoulder] Everett K. Ross : "Listen, I'm doing you guys a favor by letting you even be here." Okoye : [in Xosha] "If he touches you again, I'm going to impale him on this desk."
