Robyn Sanseverino was an FBI agent who served under unit chief Frank Cubitoso. She later succeeded agent Deborah Waldrup in handling FBI informant Adriana La Cerva. She seemed to be more skilled at handing Adriana than Agent Waldrup. While largely professional, she did open up to Adriana at one point about her decision to join the FBI: her sister had been permanently crippled by a violent boyfriend who was a small-time crook, and the incident was the result of the boyfriend horsing around with a firearm. Robyn resolved to stop lowlives such as the one who crippled her sister.

Agent Sanseverino was later seen handling Raymond Curto and Eugene Pontecorvo. She was not as aggressive in getting information out of the men as she was with Adriana, arguably because both were more cooperative informants.

She was played by Karen Young.
