Concept:
G. Callen is the NCIS Special Agent in Charge of the Office of Special Projects team stationed in Los Angeles, reporting directly to the OSP Operations Manager Hetty Lange. He has a habit of eating bananas to calm himself, much as Gibbs drinks coffee. Callen is known by his friends only as 'G', and when asked what the 'G' stands for, he states simply that no one ever told him. His parents left him when he was a kid and all he has ever discovered is that his first name starts with a 'G'. Callen learned to speak Russian at the age of 14 from his foster sister Alina Rostov during the time he lived with her family as an adolescent. Callen has twice served with his good friend Leroy Jethro Gibbs, whom he admits he considers to be family, and who now works at the NCIS Headquarters in the Washington Navy Yard.
Callen has had a troubled past, having lived in 37 foster homes starting from the age of 5, remaining in foster care until the age of 18. He sometimes moved every few days, with the longest time spent in one place was for three months at age 14, when he lived with the family of a Russian girl named Alina Rostov (who he called 'little sister'). Callen spent at least a part of his childhood on the Romanian coast of the Black Sea. Eventually, as an adult, it would be revealed to him that Alina was secretly sent to watch Callen and to prevent him from being killed by Russian Mobsters. Up until recently, Callen was actually homeless, temporarily staying with his various NCIS colleagues and sometimes in the Operations Center itself. Hetty made arrangements for Callen to purchase a house of his own - the very same house where he lived with Alina Rostoff(who was 4 at the time) as a foster child.
Callen was almost killed in a drive-by shooting, which Callen and the team would later realize that the shooting was related to a mission Callen had taken part in against the Russian Mob, as a DEA Agent, ten years earlier. Sometime before his joining the DEA, he was a CIA agent, partnered with Tracy Rosetti whom he later married while undercover using the surname Keller. Following a mission in which she placed the success of the operation above both their professional and pesonal partnerships, the two divorced. Tracy received custody of Buddy, their dog.
Eventually, Callen would track down a woman named Amy Taylor(nee Callen) who initially claimed to be his older sister, but would later admit her real name was actually Hannah Lawson, and that she was friends with the real Amy Callen(the two had been separated as children) when they'd lived at an orphanage together. The real Amy died at the age of 11, when Amy and Hannah had snuck out to play one night in the nearby river and Amy had been swept away by the current in an accident. When Hannah returned, she slept in Amy's bed, and the authorities there never realized what had happened. A month later when the body was found, it was buried under Hannah's name as the authorities didn't know any better. Later on, Callen would go visit Amy's grave, finding flowers and a note left "For my Swwet daugher always in my Heart".
That same day, Nate Getz, the OSP's Operational Psychologist and the Operational Liason in the Middle East, would discover that a list of all of Callen's 37 foster homes and orphanges was written by one person, although over a number of years and with different pens and pencils, which would indicate someone had been keeping an eye on Callen the whole time. The same list also showed the various orphanges and foster homes where the real Amy lived until her death, indicating that this person also knew about the switch between Hannah and Amy.
Later on, Callen discovered he was being stalked by someone he didn't know, seeing someone near the grave of his sister, and over the past several months, would run into people who seemed to know more about his past than he does. Hetty Lange suddenly resigned and took off for Prague, and Callen found out from NCIS Director Leon Vance that Hetty has started her own investigation called Operation Comescu, which was all about Callen. Callen and the rest of the team resigned as well when Director Vance refused to fly to Prague to get Hetty. When the team arrived in Prague, they discovered that Hetty had been taken by the Comescu's, and that the Comescu's have been in a decade-long battle with the Callen family, of which G is the last. Tracking their safehouse down to a house on a beach, Callen started remembering things from his past, such as having been on this particular beach before. Inside the house, Hetty convinced the head of the Comescu Family that G died three weeks ago, showing a clip of the assassination attempt that had actually taken place more than four months ago, and a death certificate she had forged herself. Hetty, Callen, and the rest of the team have since been re-instated and are back at work in Los Angeles.
Additional Comments:
While on a mission in Serbia, Gibbs saved Callen's life. Gibbs also saved Callen's life in Russia as well, which Callen still denies to this day. Callen has an intimate knowledge of Gibbs' past, being aware of Gibbs' boat-building hobby, as well as his three failed marriages. While in Los Angeles, Gibbs revealed to Callen he had actually been married four times, a fact that Gibbs tends to keep close to the vest. By his own admission, Callen considers both Lara Macy and Gibbs to be family. Callen is one of the five people that Gibbs permits to call him 'Jethro'. When Gibbs and McGee were getting ready to return to D.C. from L.A., Callen gave McGee a sniper's magazine to use for conversation on the return flight, saying it worked for him.
Callen is also particularly close with his current partner, Sam Hanna, who has a tendency to display mother-hen-like concern for Callen (often directed at risks he takes or his neglecting his own needs). They share a stereotypical always comical "Buddy Cop" relationship that can sometimes be interpreted as brotherly. Sam is one of the handful of people that Callen trusts, evidenced by being able to pick up on both each others' quirks and bad habits. Once, when reflecting on a previous experience as a Navy SEAL, Hanna confessed to Called "I can't lose another partner." Callen also knows more about Hanna's personal life than the other members of the team, including the fact that Sam has two children. They have excellent teamwork in the field and are very loyal to one another and, despite this, Sam still has a desire to learn more about Callen's mysterious past.
Callen's relationship with Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange is one of mutual respect and trust. Conversely, although Hetty's position as Operations Manager requires her to run a tight ship, she at times lets down her guard and adopts a motherly attitude towards Callen. This attitude was demonstrated when she covered Callen, who was asleep within the Operations Center, with a blanket before departing for the night.
Callen's relationship with his ex-wife Tracy Rosetti is strained because, although he respects her commitment to the mission, he is still angry that she chose her career over their marriage. His anger stems from feelings of abandonment because while on a mission the conditions deteriorated and Callen was detained by local authorities. Rahter than compromise the mission by attempting to extricate Callen from his difficult situation, she retreated to a safe house maintained by the Agency.

Give me a bit of time to do so.
