Charlotte 'Lottie' Dean at first glance appears to be a loud, bossy documentary maker, but she has a secret identity. She is 'Spyder', the head of a worldwide spy network. She chooses Hawksworth to be her second-in-command because she wants someone ruthless she can rely on to get the job done, even though he is prepared to disobey her at any opportunity. For thankfully unknown reasons, her nickname for Hawksworth is 'Tiger'.
