Only his self-discipline and high IQ makes it possible to use the stimuli without going insane. His self-discipline and near-fanatical focus are among his greatest strengths. Besides being a competent architect he understands exactly how most machines are constructed. He has also displayed acting skills good enough to fool the guards, reasonably good climbing skills, and okay social skills. He has learned to be real sneaky and has a real knack for keeping objects hidden on his body even when being checked.
Small objects could also, in fact, be surgically implanted into his arms or legs, to be taken out later when needed. Scofield has a real weakness in being strongly empathic. The pain of his surrounding is his pain. Also, he sometimes tends to get into sort of a mental overdrive where it is impossible for him to stop thinking, although he will soon be back to normal again.
The whole upper part of Scofield, including the chest, back and arms, is covered by patterned tattoos. These beautiful tattoos look like Gothic stylized battling demons and angels, plus texts and church motifs, but are in reality a complete architectural map of the prison. It has been said that memorizing the complete plans would be like memorizing the phone book.
However, whenever Scofield needs to know some plan detail, where tunnels go, etc. In addition, the body tattoos also contain details about the continued escape outside of the prison, i. At points, the GM is urged to allow Scofield to use the Area Knowledge Advantage as if he had it about any given area he resides in.
After studying the tattoos for a few minutes he can then roll a Perception Check about the area details as usual. Michael Scofield is a slenderly built young man with crew-cut hair. His upper body is completely covered with beautiful tattoos. He appears to be calm, unafraid and focused.
Clinically diagnosed with low latent inhibition, Michael Scofield is unable to block out periphery information. He instead processes every aspect and detail of any given stimulus.
This, combined with a high IQ, theoretically makes him a creative genius. The last year Scofield has planned the prison break in perfect detail to allow for him to escape with his innocent brother. As an adult Scofield has had to play big brother to his big brother. Clearly, he has spent all his time into planning, and spent a great deal of energy in the matter. Today, he is well-trained, focused, disciplined and exceptionally goal-oriented.
When driven towards a well-planned goal Scofield normally appears as a calm and rational man. He moves calmly and talks in a friendly manner, because he knows exactly what he is doing, and can easily become friends with just about anyone as soon as he has found out what the other one wants.
His calm, focus and mental alertness are so strong that others can easily see this. He has few natural friends, every minute of his day spent planning the next move.
The only people close to him are his brother, his cellmate Sucre and the Prison doctor, Sara Tancredi, with whom he had a developing romantic connection. But the cool is but a rational mask. When his actions are completely blocked, as in being kept in isolation, his mind goes into overdrive and eventually, unless a solution is found, he will turn non-rational. For example, when in an isolation cell he tried to remember a map to further his escape, but had no paper, so he crushed his own hand and used blood as ink on the wall.
Nothing, not even the corruption of his high morals, can stand in the way of the planned prison break. He is ready to do lots of sacrifices to succeed. Although he is basically a decent man, circumstances too often force him to abandon his high morals, all for the sake of the goal at hand. Perhaps due to his fanatical mindset he seems to possess a very high pain threshold and so where others would scream out in pain he will usually not.
The fear of pain that debilitates others does not really affect him much. In the end Lincoln tried to get out of the rackets, but was caught in action by the Huntress before he could get himself clear.
As a result Lincoln ended up serving in Blackgate beside the mobsters he had betrayed. No one expected him to live out the year. He updated the year old castle-like structure to modern security standards.
When Lincoln was sentenced there Michael quickly arranged to follow him by stealing the payroll truck from a Lexcorp construction site Gotham construction workers by long tradition were paid in cash.
What would have happened under normal circumstances we will never know. Gotham was declared a disaster area and beyond federal jurisdiction. Retrieving the blueprints of the facility, which the firm, and Michael himself, had access to, from this information Michael spent a year creating an elaborate plan to break out his brother.
Over four months, Michael had specific sections of the prison tattooed onto his upper body by the tattoo artist Syd 1x1 , hidden within gothic imagery of battling angels and demons. His chest features an image of a devil slaying an angel. It contains blueprints of the prison's underground tunnels and passageways. His back has the angel attacking and killing the demon and hides an overhead view of the prison. His right arm has an image of the demons. They left the impression of the angels and numerous clues and reminders e.
Michael also analyzed every detail of the prison and the people inside; inmates he needed to recruit for his plan and prison staff members he needed to manipulate, to form relationships with to use them.
After urging his brother to swear that he is innocent, he pays a visit to Syd, who finished tattooing Michael's design onto his body. That night he returned to his apartment near the Chicago River and tore off the newspaper clippings and destroyed his computer. Once in Fox River, he scrutinized every detail regarding the prison and its inhabitants. Given Michael's educational background, inmates and correctional officers alike focused a great deal of attention on Michael and were very interested in what Michael was all about; they would often wonder why a man of Michael's credentials would have thrown such a privileged life away to end up in state prison.
What was even more intriguing were his habits, as he was often seen conversing discreetly with his brother, Lincoln, both during Prison Industry time and Chapel time; and the fact that he tended to execute a highly defined stare around Fox River's boundaries immediately from the point he got incarcerated as well as being called personally on command by the prison's warden, Henry Pope.
Michael put his plan into action while overcoming various obstacles. He began by having specific objectives he must accomplish to build an escape route out of prison. One the way, Michael needed to recruit several people to aid in the escape: his cellmate Fernando Sucre to help him dig, mob henchman John Abruzzi to get him on Prison Industries "PI" - which is the maintenance crew and provide air transport once they escaped, and Charles Westmoreland , who he believed to be "D. Michael also had to fake type 1 diabetes, which gave him daily access to the infirmary the escapees' exit point from the prison and allowed him to build a relationship with Doctor Sara Tancredi , who happens to be the daughter of Frank Tancredi , the Governor of Illinois.
After agreeing to help Warden Pope finish his Taj Mahal replica in his office, Michael also forms a friendship with Pope.
However, not everything went according to plan. More people join the escape team than Michael had speculated. This, coupled with other obstacles Michael faces, forces him to reformulate the planned time and time again. These obstacles begin when Abruzzi cuts two of Michael's toes off. This mafia boss wants to extract the info about Otto Fibonacci from Michael. When Michael refused to divulge the information or crack for Abruzzi, he struck a deal: Abruzzi would supply an escape plane in exchange for Fibonacci's address.
In addition to this, a portion of a section of Michael's tattooed blueprint on his back is burned off and lost after coming into contact with a steaming hot piece of metal as he hid from a guard 1x15 , compromising the plan, and eventually landing him in Solitary Confinement for a while when he refused to disclose information as to how he received the burn , dealing a severe blow to his motivation and morale.
He later stages "brief insanity" to gain access to the jail's Psych Ward premises to gain contact with one of its insane inhabitants gifted with a photographic memory, to re-acquire the portion of the tattooed blueprint. These, however, are only a few setbacks he faced in his attempt to break his brother out of prison, and so Michael's calm facade also began to wear off.
Michael's relationships with Warden Pope and Sara deepened over time, but he eventually and regretfully - demonstrated when he threatened the warden in his office manipulated both of them in the end to save his brother's life; most prominently with Sara, who was part of Michael's secondary plan. When his original plan failed, Michael pleaded with Sara to talk to her father. Also, he later relied on their relationship when he fails to steal the key to the infirmary from her.
She finds out about his motive for being in the infirmary. Michael revealed his escape plan and asked Sara to leave the infirmary door unlocked on the night of the escape.
Sara decides to help Michael and does so and, with the aid of an unlocked infirmary door, Michael finally succeeded in helping his brother escape from Fox River through the window of the infirmary and ran over the walls of Fox River with his brother in the nick of time, but also aided in the escape of six other prisoners. However, Michael and the others were left stranded at the airfield after the plane took off before their arrival. Unfortunately for Michael, an FBI Agent named Alexander Mahone realized that Scofield was the operation's mastermind and was intrigued by Michael's meticulous intellect.
Mahone becomes Michael's nemesis. In short order, Mahone discovers the meanings of three of his tattoos and almost catches him at the graveyard when he discovers the meaning of "Ripe Chance Woods". Later, Michael and Lincoln plan to stage another minor prison-break to liberate and retrieve L. Burrows from the Cook County Courthouse before the teenager's hearing; in which he is on trial for the double murder of Lisa and Adrian Rix. In addition to their failure, Lincoln takes a bullet which forced them to go to the home of Nika Volek.
After retrieving their car, Michael and Lincoln set off the explosives that Michael had previously installed in their car in an attempt to fool the authorities that they are dead. Mahone continues to track Michael's process, as the two leave Illinois to go to Utah, Michael and Lincoln having decided to head to Tooele, Utah in order to find and retrieve Westmoreland's hidden money. There, they are subsequently reunited with four of the other escapees: Sucre, C-Note, T-Bag and Tweener , who join them.
It is here Michael and Lincoln separate for the first time, when Lincoln decides to find and go after his son, LJ, who has been suddenly released from prison. Although Michael and Sucre had planned to trick their comrades, T-Bag ends up with the money after he fooled them. Nevertheless, even after failing to retrieve the money, Michael continues to execute his plan to meet with the people smuggling coyote at the 'Bolshoi Booze' location.
Prior to leaving for 'Bolshoi Booze', Michael saves Sucre's life after he falls into the river 2x8 which he repays in kind when he rescues Michael from the coyote. Aware of Mahone's diligence and knowledge of his plan, Michael blackmails Mahone by using the information he found out about Oscar Shales as leverage; if Mahone lets he and his family disappear, he will keep the secret safe.
Despite this, Mahone gets closer to Michael as he locates the rendezvous point between him and Sara in New Mexico. Sara is reluctant to escape to Panama with him. They are found and pursued by Mahone, but Michael later traps Mahone inside an abandoned factory. After Sara leaves Michael thinking she had declined his invitation to Panama the fact was that Paul Kellerman had captured her , Michael, unaware, moves forward with his plan and goes to meet the coyote, who has the location of an escape plane to Mexico.
Michael is reunited with Lincoln, Sucre, and his father, Aldo Burrows. As his past actions begin to take a toll on him, Michael goes to a church where he confesses his wrongdoings. In his confession, Michael mentions a man who he saw bled to death. After a problematic meeting with the coyote, Michael reunites with Sucre, Lincoln, and his father at the "Bolshoi Booze" location. As they head to the location of the escape plane, Aldo attempts to explain to Michael.
However, Mahone is able to follow the family and Aldo is killed by Mahone after being wounded by him in a gunfight.
Before Aldo died in Michael's arms, he told Lincoln and Michael that he loved them and to find Sara who he believes may save Lincoln. Michael and Lincoln decide not to go to Panama, and decide to confront " The Company " and the conspiracy, and bid farewell to Sucre, who alights the getaway plane to Mexico.
Later, while attempting to call Sara, their car is hit by Mahone and the brothers are briefly recaptured. Border Patrol agents apprehend the brothers before Mahone can kill them. Later, Michael and Lincoln are aided in their escape by Kellerman, who turns against The Company in the act of self-preservation. Kellerman helps them escape by arranging for an escape route deceiving Agent William Kim and Mahone into thinking that he will create an opportunity to kill them without attracting attention , then shooting Mahone and running off with them.
Kellerman, Michael and Lincoln teamed up to take down President Caroline Reynolds , who had each of their lives ruined. Steadman's suicide forces Michael, Lincoln and Kellerman to find Sara since she holds the key to unlocking information that can expose the conspiracy. After Sara joins them, Michael, Lincoln and Kellerman head to Chicago, where Sara's father has hidden the information.
On the way, Michael and Sara express their feelings for each other: Sara tells Michael that she has fallen in love with him, and Michael reveals that he feels the same. After leaving Kellerman behind, Lincoln, Michael and Sara soon found that the recorded conversation on the USB drive could not be used as evidence due to its modified time-stamp. They decide to blackmail Reynolds instead. When this also fails, Michael and Lincoln are forced to escape to Panama but are forced to leave Sara behind after she is arrested.
However, when Michael returns to his boat with Westmoreland's money to find Lincoln missing, he receives a call from Mahone, who demands the boat and the money in exchange for Lincoln's life. Michael outsmarts Magone and escapes with Lincoln.
At his new boat, Michael and Lincoln are reunited with Sara, who tells them that Lincoln has been exonerated after Kellerman's testimony.
As the three flee from the scene with the police pursuing them, Michael and Sara separate from Lincoln and end up surrounded in a small isolated shack.
After expressing their love for each other, they leave the shack. Unbeknownst to Sara, Michael confesses to Kim's killing and is arrested in her place. Michael is then imprisoned at Sona. Michael is the fifth member of the Fox River Eight to be taken down by the authorities, and the second member not to die upon interception. In the season premiere, Michael witnesses a brutal duel between inmates, the usual manner of settling disputes at Sona. He unintentionally makes an enemy of one of the most influential and powerful inmates at Sona, a drug lord named Lechero.
Lincoln soon informs him that The Company needs him to break somebody out of Sona. They also have taken Sara and LJ hostage to ensure the brothers' cooperation. He began to look for Whistler, only to find that he had a bounty on his head; whoever kills him will receive amnesty from the mayor of Panama City.
As a result, Whistler had gone into hiding in the sewers. Michael eventually finds him, but Mahone locates Whistler and attempts to kill him for the bounty. Still, Michael successfully persuades Lechero to remove the bounty on his head after he assists him by restoring water to the prison, with help from a juvenile inmate Luis "McGrady" Gallego.
The Company gives Michael a one-week ultimatum for breaking out Whistler. With seven days to bust Whistler out of prison, Michael tried to take matters into his own hands. He turned his attention to obtaining the use of Lechero's cell phone, which he could accomplish by blackmailing T-Bag about his past sexual predatory activities.
After T-Bag gets Michael the phone, Michael uses it to contact Sara and receive a coded message about her location. He relays this information to Linc, who unsuccessfully attempts to rescue Sara and LJ.
Sara was then brutally killed as a result, but her death was still unknown to Michael. Michael then purposely uses a piece of jewelry to short out the power, causing Lechero to call on Michael's engineering skills to fix it. Michael restores electricity to the prison and a previously broken electric fence.
It is revealed that Michael repaired the net so that the electricity will superheat a chemical that Sucre who was hired as the new gravedigger sprays on it, as the heated chemical can melt steel. Later, Michael spies on Sona's guards. The sun glare temporarily blinds one guard at p. The other sometimes watch sports on a television in the lookout tower. The second one sees Michael due to his scope's lens glare. After a small raid takes place, the prisoners are rounded up in the yard.
Captain Hurtado questions Michael to the point that he unholsters his pistol and puts it to Michael's head. Hurtado is about to shoot Michael, but Whistler manages to intervene on Michael's behalf and takes responsibility for the incident, claiming that he was observing the birds pictured in his book.
Michael is desperate about the vigilance of the guards when Mahone helps him; he talks about a coffee cup he managed to have in prison. As the guards are drinking, walking from their respective guard posts, both drink from identical coffee cups. Michael surmised and concluded that they could have that guard if the trio could get to the cup and drug one of the guard's coffee. As the escape plan continues, Michael finally learns of Sara's death, which has a devastating impact.
In a moment of weakness, he seems to challenge Whistler to a deadly duel, but Michael reveals this to be only a diversion for the flight. However, the escape ultimately fails. When the Company decides to rescue Whistler themselves by storming Sona, Michael foils their plans and attempt to rescue Whistler. Still, he was suspected of such an operation. He is held responsible for both escape attempts and was escorted out of Sona to be kept in solitary, interrogated. He eventually relented and told them about Whistler, who revealed that Gretchen Morgan is in charge of the operation.
Later, Michael finds out the officers that were with Gretchen have been killed. Michael and Whistler are returned to Sona. It was then when they turned to a new escape plan, with the help of Lechero, and that is through an underground tunnel.
Later in the tunnels with Mahone, Whistler, and Lechero, he says they need braces to hold up the escape tunnel. Then, when part of the tunnel is about to fall, Michael puts a little piece of metal in to hold it up.
Their escape plan was jeopardized with Sammy taking over Sona prison and investigating their escape. However, Sammy was killed after the tunnel fell upon him. It is subsequently revealed that it was Michael's trap, which he prepared earlier by removing that little metal piece. McGrady joined the team in the escape. When a shootout begins at a museum in Panama, Michael grabs the gun from Linc's car and has Gretchen in his sights, but she escapes when police start to shoot at her.
Michael successfully tricks Gretchen into giving LJ and Sofia back safely. Later on, outside the hospital, LJ gave him the same origami rose that Michael had given to Sara on her birthday. Fuelled by revenge, he bids farewell to his family as he goes on a solo mission to hunt down Gretchen. In the end, Michael was seen driving along the Panamanian coast on his way to take action against Gretchen and The Company.
Self then tells Michael that in Panama, his brother has been arrested. Self tells Lincoln and Michael that they can either bring down The Company by helping Self find and get Scylla which is said to be a key card that stores every bit of information about The Company - essentially their "little black book" or go to jail - and that both of them face major time.
They refuse and both of the brothers are bailed out by Bruce. Bruce then takes Lincoln and Michael to a house where they find Sara. Michael and she joyfully reunite.
Later on, Michael gives back the rose he made for Sara in Fox River. Wyatt eventually hunts them down and locates them, and tries to assassinate them at Sara's safe house. Wyatt opens fire at Lincoln with Michael and Sara in the house. They all escape, realizing The Company will not stop until they're all dead. Michael and everyone decide to take Self's offer, and so Michael phones Self and tells him they're in. They are joined by Mahone, Sucre and Bellick in their mission.
To blend in with the crowds, Michael gets his tattoos removed via laser surgery. Throughout the season, Michael was seen to be experiencing health problems, getting nosebleeds and suddenly clutching his head in pain, and passing out. He hides these from Lincoln and Sara until he experiences a bloody nose that he could not hide from Lincoln. Michael tells his brother, "It's not a big deal.
Michael's condition is one his mother also shared. During his mother's. Michael was experiencing nosebleeds for the first time since he was 13 and is about to turn Eventually, Michael is no longer able to hide his sickness as he collapses in the warehouse.
Sara takes Michael to the hospital where the doctors diagnoses him with a hypothalamic hamartoma - he is revealed to have a tumor on his temporal lobe, and Michael is advised that surgery is required right away or else he might die.
Unwilling to go into surgery until they get Scylla, Michael receives temporary treatment from Sara and goes onwards with their plans to break into The Company. Although the group eventually succeeds in getting Scylla, Self betrays them and takes it for himself to try and sell it. Michael, however, had taken a small piece of Scylla and Self needs that piece to make Scylla complete. Self goes back to find Michael and shoots the warehouse and a gas tanker to try and force them out.
Fortunately, Lincoln was not in the warehouse at the time, and upon discovering Self's car outside, he finds Self at the top of a building and knocks him unconscious. They bring Self in and are about to get Scylla when Gretchen holds the group at gunpoint, allowing Self and herself to escape.
Everyone except Mahone head to the hotel Self and Gretchen are staying at. Michael tampers with the ladder outside so that when Self tries to escape, it comes loose and Self falls to the ground. Michael takes this opportunity to grab Scylla from an unconscious Self, but as he is running away, his nose starts to bleed profusely. He begins losing his balance and blacks out, falling to the ground.
Self then catches up and takes back Scylla. As he is preparing to shoot Michael, Company agents appear and start shooting at Self.
Self jumps into Gretchen's van and they escape. The Company agents lift an unconscious Michael into their van and drive away, with Lincoln running after them. Michael is then found in a hospital bed, connected to many machines. A hand rests on his, and it is revealed that this is General Jonathan Krantz. The General leads Lincoln to Michael, assuring him that Michael is under the best medical care and that The Company's technology is years ahead of those currently provided to the general public.
He also tells Lincoln that the only way they will operate and save Michael is if Lincoln brings Scylla back. With Sara by his side, Michael wakes up disoriented and weak. He asks her which hospital he is in, but Sara merely assures him he does not need to worry about it and that there are good doctors here to treat him.
While Lincoln and Sucre go after Scylla, Sara stays with Michael and watches over him while he undergoes surgery with help from The Company.
However, the procedure that the Company doctors use on Michael is nothing like anything Sara has seen before. General Krantz tells her that while the procedure is experimental, it has been used once before on a patient who ended up living a long and happy life. Because of the surgery, all of Michael's senses become active at the same time, causing him to have his life flash before his eyes. He suddenly sees himself back in his old cell at Fox River, with Westmoreland greeting him.
While conversing with Westmoreland and trying to figure out the truth behind Scylla in his subconscious, the Michael in surgery is dying and begins to flatline. The Company doctor injects an unknown serum into Michael as Sara panics and rushes to Michael's side, telling him not to give up. After finally realizing what Scylla really is and hearing Sara's voice, Michael wakes up.
