Nicholas Brody, played by actor Damian Lewis, is a fictional character on the American television series Homeland on Showtime, created by Alex Gansa and Howard Gordon. Brody is a United States Marine Corps Gunnery Sergeant who is held as a prisoner of war by al-Qaeda terrorists for eight years. Following his rescue and return home, Brody is hailed as a war hero and promoted to Gunnery Sergeant. However, a CIA officer, Carrie Mathison, suspects that Brody was turned by al-Qaeda, and tries to stop him from potentially committing a terrorist act. Between the first and second season, he is elected to Congress, but at the end of the second season he is framed for committing a terrorist bombing. In the third season, he is executed by Iranian authorities after completing a CIA operation against the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.
