Other characters that play a prominent role in the latter half of the season include General Krantz and Scofield's mother, Christina. There's plenty of motivation to keep watching though. It's one of those fantastic television moments that turns everything on its head, and unfortunately, it's so good of a twist that the rest of the season pales in comparison. Without giving much away, he ends up playing a pivotal role in one of the best, least expected and most clever swerves we've seen in the entire run of the series. He's a bit of a jack, and rubs everyone the wrong way. Self is the agent who gets this group together and puts them to task to get a hold of Scylla. In addition to the storyline change, we're also introduced to a new regular character this season – Agent Don Self. While you could argue that not everyone who deserved to die got what was coming to them there were some characters who seemed to outlive their welcome by the end. Towards the end, when it was clear that the series was ending, there were even more character deaths. Some noble sacrifices, some characters met the fates they deserved, and some deaths were more perplexing – especially those at the very beginning of the season. There were some significant casualties along the way. Self supplied the team with intelligence and it was up to Scofield to get this rag-tag band of former inmates to work together. The former inmates are forced to work together as a team to get their hands on Scylla, under the supervision of a Homeland Security agent named Don Self. With the breathtaking escape from Sona from season three, the writers wisely chose to transform the prison drama into a straightforward action series with a singular focus: to capture the Company's most critical cog - Scylla. With the beginning of every one of its four seasons, Prison Break metamorphosed itself into something completely new and unexpected. There are no prisons to break out of, and nobody to run from – the Fox River and Sona escapees instead focus their efforts in bringing down the Company by retrieving a device known as Scylla.

The final season of Prison Break brought about another complete change of direction for the series.
