Raised at an orphanage in Buenos Aires, Argentina, I was recruited to work for SIDE, Argentine Intelligence. I was being held at a labor camp in Chechnya when my half sister, Sydney Bristow extracted me. I had never known she existed and had thought both my parents to be dead; they were both alive. My mother, Irina Derevko, had an affair with Arvin Sloane, my father and Sydney's enemy. Soon after my extraction, my father tested me in accordance to a prophecy by a man named Milo Rambaldi, who died 500 years ago. He said I was "The Passenger" and could communicate Rambaldi's message through injections of a special formula. I then spent the summer traveling the world with my father when I got a call from my sister, Sydney, who needed help. Shortly after, I was recruited by the CIA and now work for a black-ops division known as APO, which is headed up by my father. I am still searching for information regarding my mother, who I am told was killed a few months ago.
