Played by Edward Mulhare

Was the head of the Foundation for Law and Government. A good friend of the late Wilton Knight, Miles took over when Wilton passed away in 1982. He would use the vast resources of FLAG to assist field operatives, such as Michael Knight, whenever possible. Devon sat on the Knight Foundation's Board of Directors, and was one of three people in the world who knew two of the three major components for the Molecular Bonded Shell. By the year 2000, Miles was attempting to turn much of the Knight Foundation's resources into a freelance section of the city's police department. Tragically, he was killed by rogue police officers in an attempt to slow down the Knight Foundation's investigation of their activities.

Played by Patrica McPherson

Was the lead design engineer for Knight Industries, joining shortly after the initial creation of the Knight Industries 2000 (KITT). Although not an original designer for the 2000 series, she routinely repaired, modified, and upgraded the vehicle's onboard systems, including the creation of Super Pursuit Mode. She normally asisted in field missions while operating out of the FLAG Mobile Unit. She left in 1983 for one year to pursue graduate studies. By the year 2000, Barstow had apparently left the Knight Foundation on a more permanent basis.

She had one sister, who married in Boston. Her father was Wilton Knight's personal pilot, and helped get her the job with FLAG. He wanted her to pursue a career in medicine, and she had to practically slash her wrists to convince him she couldn't stand the sight of blood. Rumor has it that she had a crush on Michael Knight.

RC3 (Reginald Cornelius III) grew up in an old neighborhood of Chicago. Unimpressed by the levels of crime, he borrowed his brother's M-16 rifle that was brought back from Vietnam, dressed up in disguise and called himself The Street Avenger. Using the gun to shoot some gang cars to pieces and inspire fear, he moulded himself a dummy rifle out of rubber and continued to clean up the streets.

In late 1985 he encountered Michael and K.I.T.T., who assisted him in rounding up a couple of muggers, and later he loaned Bonnie the use of his father's garage and helped in the recreation of K.I.T.T. (who had been virtually destroyed by the Juggernaut).

Played by Richard Basehart

Wilton Knight was a visionary. He wanted to do everything in his power to improve his world, and he dedicated the last years of his life and all his resources to founding an organization designed to promote good and defeat evil. The result was the Foundation for Law and Government, and the initiation of the Knight Industries project.

The project was highly classified: “top secret”. It was remarkable and futuristic, a first of its kind. We find out that the top secret Knight Industries project is called “The Knight Industries Two-Thousand” or “K.I.T.T.” for short.
