Raymond "Red" Reddington, a former government agent and one of the FBI's most wanted fugitives, surrenders at FBI Headquarters in Washington, D.C. He claims the FBI and he have similar interests in getting rid of dangerous criminals and terrorists. He makes an offer that the FBI cannot refuse and insists on one condition: Reddington will co-operate only with Elizabeth Keen, a rookie FBI profiler. Keen questions Reddington's sudden interest in her, but Reddington will only reveal that she is very special. After the FBI uses Reddington's information to locate a terrorist, Reddington reveals that this terrorist is only the first of many criminals that he will help them neutralize. Over the course of his own criminal career, he has made a "blacklist" of global criminals who he believes are dangerous to society, most of whom are unknown to the FBI.
As the series progresses, the stories of both Red and Liz unfold, with twists that involve other characters in the show.
RED is the type of guy that you want on your side always. Total best friend BUT your worse enemy type of guy.

- James Spader as Raymond "Red" Reddington, a former government agent and one of the FBI's most wanted fugitives. A U.S. Naval Academy graduate, Red was being groomed for admiral when something happened on his way home for the Christmas holidays. He is known for brokering deals between criminals and is called "The Concierge of Crime". Red surrenders to the FBI and provides information on a roster of criminals that he refers to as The Blacklist: dangerous criminals who are so careful to avoid leaving any traces behind that the FBI has not even detected their activities.
What man dose not want to look as suave as "RED" Reddington?
He plays a former fugitive from justice-turned FBI collaborator in NBC drama The Blacklist.
But James Spader looked a far cry from a criminal mastermind on Thursday as he shot the show dressed in a beige three piece suit, matching hat and smart black spotted tie.
The 54-year-old actor may have got a little warm under the warm Coney Island Brooklyn sun and was spotted getting his face re-powdered in a break from filming.
So dapper: James Spader strolls around the Brooklyn set of The Blacklist in New York City on Thursday looking smart in a three piece suit and straw hat
Spader, who plays Raymond 'Red' Reddington on the show, was also spotted enjoying a sneaky cigarette in a break from filming.
However, he later changed into a cooler outfit of white shirt and dark trousers, taking a rest on a nearby bench.
The series began last year with Red's surrender to the FBI. He was able to keep his freedom in exchange for helping them catch criminals, revealing he has a 'Blacklist' of global bad guys he believes are a danger to society.

'The show is this strange amalgamation of a serial and a procedural,' he recently told Playboy. 'But if you watch it every week, if you care to stay with it this season, there’s also a much larger mythology to it. It has become something else.
'People will see this season is different because we’re able to play with things that make a better show, like story and character,' he added. 'We’re not building a foundation anymore, which is what we spent last year doing. There are a lot of changes.'
And Spader is adamant that the true nature of his occasionally sinister character is drip fed to the audience rather than revealed all at once.

'I believe with all my heart that the best way to ruin this character is to tell too much about who and what he is,' he said. 'Part of that is a mystery. Just when you think you’re getting comfortable, do not get comfortable. Just when you think you have him figured out and you know what the boundaries and safe places are, you’re not safe. It’s never safe.
'The character is a funny, weird mix of things. He seems like someone who’d be tremendous to spend time with - great fun, compelling and so on - but be careful. I would be.'
In the break between the first and second Blacklist seasons, the star shot the Avengers sequel in London where he is playing crazed criminal robot Ultron. The film will be released next May.
'By the end of the season, I was tired, tired, tired,' said James. ' Just weeks after we finished, I started working on Avengers: Age of Ultron, and I must say I got rejuvenated. I also found that I missed my Blacklist character a lot.'
Sneaky smoke: The actor held a cigarette and a bottle of water as he mingled with holidaymakers during filming
