Head of Section One and next in line as Chairman of Oversight. Paul is recruited for the Section approximately 25 years earlier when taken from a Vietnamese Prison Camp. His status at recruitment was Lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps (American nationality is implied from his appearance at the Vietnam War Memorial in Washington D.C. where he locates his own name in "Sympathy For the Devil"). Once married to Corinne Wolf Martelli, he has one known legitimate son by the name of Stephen Wolf. Corinne appears in "Love and Country" (S3). Stephen appears in "Missing" (S1) and is later killed. Paul rose quickly within the ranks of Section One and at one time had a relationship with Madeline, his second in command. At the end of Season 4 when he is on the verge of taking George's position, he is ordered to remain in Section One for an additional seven years. Although Operations is a ruthless leader, he can at times show a soft spot for those few operatives under his command that he respects. In a final effort to keep his struggling organization afloat, without the help of Madeline, Operations undertakes a mission to save Adam’s life thereby securing his position at Section. In the rescue attempt a lead member of The Collective kills Operations.
