Best Alias Bracket

I am excited to start running a bracket for the best Leverage aliases! Specifically I mean the best personas *associated* with the aliases, not the names themselves, but alias is snappier. Thanks to @beautifulscreaminglady, @your-local-basket-rib-stitch, and @cockadoodlebumtits for suggesting this :)

Tom Jensen Episode: 3x12 The King George Job Character: Nate Thank you, mister, uh… Jensen. Tom Jensen. Oh, an American. Are you with Claridge's? In a way. I've, I have participated in some of their New York auctions, yeah. Participated how? I'm a broker of merchandise, antiques, mostly, for private collectors. I like to let them know when something, you know, of interest, uh, becomes discovered.

Note: Tom Jensen is one of only a few aliases that are used multiple times - when Nate competes in the chess tournament in the Queen's Gambit Job, he is registered under the same name. We're going to lump them together in this bracket because Queen's Gambit!Tom isn't really an alias in its own right.

Anna Gunstott Episode: 1x01 The Nigerian Job Character: Sophie Mr. Dubenich, Anna Gunstott, African Commercial Transport and Trade Initiative. You government? No, no. Private business consortium. We are looking to encourage infrastructure development and economic renewal. I have no idea what that means in English. What does it mean? We create jobs and trade in Africa. Keep the graft and the stealing manageable.

Laurie Sprang Episode: 3x05 The Double-Blind Job Character: Parker You attended the University of Iowa, where you were a cheerleader, graduated with a 2.9 G.P.A., and you were also second runner-up for the Miss Iowa Beauty Pageant.

Mr. Greipal Episode: 5x14 The Toy Job Character: Nate Wh-while I'm baffled, delighted by the sudden interest in my toy, ah, money is not why I designed Baby Feels-A-Lot, no. I did it for my son, Nestor, yes. Who is now in federal prison.

Temi Episode: 3x04 The Scheherazade Job Character: Hardison This young man's name is Temi. He's a taxi driver that emigrated here from Wadata with a dream to attend the world-famous New England Conservatory to study the violin. You're gonna make his dream come true. The poor need schools and clinics, but what they want is heroes. You're gonna give them what they want.

Joseph Miller Episode: 1x10 The Juror #6 Job Character: Hardison Uh, y-your Honor, I don't like to trash-talk, but my predecessor was not as thorough as he could have been when presenting this case. For example, (Places a book on the bench) I, uh - I would like to add some witnesses to the witness list. Is - Is that a high school yearbook? Yes, it is. You see, my intent is to show that Ernesto Vargas led an active and very vibrant life, and these 430 people will testify that he did so even as a youth. Motion denied.

The Foodie Queen Episode: 5x04 The French Connection Job Character: Parker The spring rolls sneak up on you. The flavors come from somewhere else, like a secret passage, in the back of my - what's it called? - palate.

Jason Brown Episode: 5x13 The Corkscrew Job Character: Hardison I am the Grape Gatsby.

Tom Abrahms Episode: 1x02 The Homecoming Job Character: Nate Tom Abrahms. You can call me Tommy. You don’t work for Congressman Jenkins, do you? I do not. No, I work for Congressman Calloway from upstate.

Tara Carlisle Episode: 2x09 The Lost Heir Job Character: Tara I checked you out, Mr. Ford. Half my sources say you're a vicious thief. The other half claim you're some sort of high-tech vigilante. I like that. I should put that on my card. There's a process to get Ruth Walton justice. It's called the probate court. Right. The probate court, where Ruth will walk in with a sad story and no executed will. Yeah, let me know how that goes for you. Okay. I know we're in trouble. But the only reason I let Ruth come to you is on the condition that I know everything you're doing.

Harry Turner Episode: 2x06 The Top Hat Job Character: Nate Harry Turner. "Magician." I know. "Illusionist." Magicians do kids' parties. I do fortune 500 companies.

Cindy MacAllen Episode: 2x05 The Three Days of the Hunter Job Character: Parker Cindy MacAllen, Caspergale Nightly News. Caspergale? How'd you get in here? Apparently, I have to go. Hey. Hey. I will have you arrested for trespassing if you do not tell me what you are doing here. Technically, you can't have me arrested for trespassing because you don't own the station. I have a story. A huge story. There's a high-level source at the Pentagon that's been evading me.

AJ Lucas Episode: 3x08 The Boost Job Character: Nate Look, mister, uh… Lucas. A.J. Lucas. Well, I don't know who you think you are… Well, I'll tell you what - I think I'm the guy that just broke your track record, if I'm not mistaken. One good time trial don't make you a racer. Let's do it, kid. Let's… let's mix it up. Let's go… you and me, right now. But I'll tell you what. We're gonna do it old school, all right? I win, I get your car. You win, you get my car. Plus, um… (looks at Sophie) other considerations. I doubt you could handle either.

Bill Wells Episode: 2x02 The Tap-Out Job Character: Nate Wells. Bill Wells. Yeah. A hundred bucks, huh? Yeah, well, I tell you what, as exciting as that sounds, how about we up it to two grand. Oh, come on. Come on. Don't tell me you're scared by a little action here. I'm sure that Ford dealership and right here, meat packing plant over here, you had some good years, didn't you? What is it you do?

Frannie and Barry McElroy Episode: 5x07 The Real Fake Car Job Characters: Sophie and Eliot We just moved in two doors down. I’m Frannie McElroy. This is my husband… Barry McElroy. We’re the McElroys. Is your husband around? We heard that you two are just so sweet. Let me ask you a question. What kind of security system are you guys using? ‘Cause you never can be too careful these days. You know what? This really isn’t a good time, so if you two could come back another t… Oh! Before I forget. We baked you a fruitcake. Just a little something to thank you for letting us join your neighborhood!

Lilly McCreedy Episode: 1x02 The Homecoming Job Character: Sophie I didn’t pick you at random, Congressman. Castleman can be a fickle friend. Rumor has it they’re looking for some fresh blood. You should look out for the signs, Congressman. Missed phone calls, no more little favors. Those are the same signs that your wife is cheating on you. That’s right.

Frank Episode: 4x09 The Cross My Heart Job Character: Hardison What? You got a, you got a problem? My little transformation? Go on, speak your mind. Yeah, I had some surgery, huh? A little nip, a little tuck, a little pop, okay? And now I am who I'm supposed to be. I used to be Francesca. Now my name is Frank!

Mr. Cooperson Episode: 4x07 The Grave Danger Job Character: Nate You spy on me in my own home? I'm gonna have you locked up. Oh, come on. Do you think the police will give a damn when they hear the words "Identity theft"? I don't think so. I'm small potatoes next to you, lady. You don't know anything. I know enough. Narc on me, I will narc on you, and we'll both go to jail.

Intern Parker Episode: 5x13 The Corkscrew Job Character: Parker Winery interns? I’m an intern, too! All right. I’m so excited. We get to stomp grapes and taste wine. What? Wait. Is college credit code for “you’re not gonna pay me”? Is Intern Parker working for free? She’s just a character, Parker. Yeah, but I know what Intern Parker’s worth is. And Intern Parker deserves a fair wage for her labor!

Lizzy Cantrell Episode: 2x09 The Lost Heir Job Character: Parker Mr. Blanchard, I’d like you to meet Lizzy Cantrell, born Lizzy Gilbert. What was she doing out there? Um, stealing. She has a meth problem. I do. I love meth. But she cleans up really nice for a judge. You know, and, oh, boy, when she starts crying about how, you know, growing up without daddy, huh? Whoo, yeah! That's why I love the meth.

Yma Sumac Episode: 4x02 The 10 L'il Grifters Job Character: Sophie I never saw any blood, Ray. My mother named me Yma after her favorite singer. I've worked for Mystery Incorporated for all of three weeks, and I can't believe you think I'm a killer.

Gnar Slabdash Episode: 5x04 The French Connection Job Character: Nate Gnar Slabdash. The "N" is mostly silent.

Ms. Donovan Episode: 2x04 The Fairy Godparents Job Character: Sophie M-Miss Donovan? Why are we singing at a science fair? Ah. Good point, yes. Science. Knowledge. What is knowledge without emotional context? Facts. Uh-uh. Empty. Meaningless. We're taking left brain-- Science-- And combing it with right brain-- creativity-- To engage the audience's entire brain. Now, just- just present your projects, and we'll just set it to a little melody.

Rose Episode: 1x11 The 12-Step Job Character: Parker Hi. My name is Rose. I'm a kleptomaniac. My parents are rich, but I shoplift anyway… because I hate myself.

Emma Rauschenbaugh Episode: 5x12 The White Rabbit Job Character: Sophie Yes, I have given it quite a lot of thought, and please, what would you say if I just suggested that I could solve your panic issues in 10 days?

Kid Jones Episode: 2x02 The Tap-Out Job Character: Eliot What's he paying you, three-and-threes? Five-and-fives? You under contract? Sort of. I owe him money. So you're his grunt. You're working it off. I collect debts, you know. Work security, bust noses. Sometimes he lets me fight.

Bethany Noble Episode: 2x13 The Future Job Character: Tara Two years ago, I was diagnosed with a brain tumor. The doctors removed it, but ever since, I guess you could say I was twice blessed. With renewed life, and with this gift.

Josephina Dellacave Episode: 4x17 The Radio Job Character: Sophie Do you need a doctor? No, I just -- I’ll just sit down. Ooh! There he goes, kicking again. Here, feel that.

Dexter Gordon Episode: 4x02 The 10 L'il Grifters Job Character: Nate Yma Sumac and Dexter Gordon, Masaari Global. My partner, Mr. Gordon, of Mystery, Inc.

Tobias Bowden Episode: 4x16 The Gold Job Character: Eliot Now remember, you’re playing Tobias Bowden, Granzen’s underestimated, underappreciated underling. Yeah, I don’t think I’m gonna play him like that.
