You know that old saying, "I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you" that people say at parties? Well, meet the man who means it.
~ Rowan Pope

He was portrayed by Joe Morton, who also played Dr. Steven Hamilton in Smallville.

Biography[]

The Command of B-613, Rowan is heavily connected to the White House and his agency would kill or dispose of anyone and anything who have "disgraced America" but doesn't like President Fitz as he believes that he'll leave the show's protagonist, Olivia Pope. He is a former ally and current archenemy of his daughter Olivia Pope and Associates and is currently an enemy to the White House and a personal enemy to his estranged daughter, Olivia.

Even though Olivia's mom, Maya Lewis, was the main antagonist of the second half of the third season, Rowan takes over that role because he crosses the Moral Event Horizon by ordering President Fitz' son to be assassinated and went so far as to kill Harrison Wright and frame Jake Ballard in order to cover it up. The White House and OPA were currently in a battle with Rowan as they were trying to take him down but he was two steps ahead of them.

I am the hell and the high water.
~ Rowan Pope
File:Rowan to his daughter, Olivia. You have to be... twice as good as them to get half of what they have.
~ To his daughter, Olivia Pope.
You stood on the mountaintop. The ring of fire was around you. You played him like a fiddle. You held power in your hands. You were power. You had the Oval. My baby had the Oval. You were running the place and he was clueless! Tell me I'm wrong.
You should know...I hope you know... I did my best for you, Olivia. I take tremendous pride in who you have become.
What have I told you Olivia? Against me, you will never win.
