Who is The Director from Mayday! and what is their importance?

The Director of the Bureau is stationed in Washington, D.C., and is never addressed by any other name than "The Director". Pitt is under The Director's command and travels to Washington for his final debriefing. The Director is described as a tall man, with hard gray eyes, high cheekbones and a pockmarked face.... it is saud that he looks more like a narcotics smuggler than the chief administrator of several thousand federal investigators
