SD-6 - Ruthless black ops
spy agency featured on the espionage drama
ALIAS/ABC/2001-2006.
Credit Dauphine, a
corporate bank in LA
(and front for SD-6 covert
operations)
SD-6 actually was a rouge intelligence agency (a
sub organization of The Alliance of Twelve). Members of
the SD-6 believe that are a black ops division
of the Central Intelligence Agency. But in
reality, SD-6 is a sinister group and a rival of
the CIA.
The Alliance of Twelve (a.k.a "The Alliance")
was founded Alain Christophe, a former CIA
counterintelligence office. The organization is
composed of former espionage agents and
wealthy investors who support the spy trade.
Their initial goal was to use their influence to
change the world for the better, but somewhere
along the line the group's initial ideals were
corrupted.

The Alliance uses its agents to gather data from
around the world that will benefit the power and
growth of the organization. Such information
includes military secrets, industrial
intelligence, medical technology, electronic and
computer programming, as well as current trends
in political arenas. Although our for itself,
the group will hire out to various
governments, and wealthy industrialists.
The Alliance has been responsible for many
tragedies around the globe including, chemical
plant leaks in Bangalore, India 1992), the
derailing of a Bullet train in Japan (1996) and
downing of German airliner (2001). Of course,
individual assassinations are standard fair for
the agency.
The Alliance is divided into12 SD ("Section
Disparu) units. The SD units are based
throughout the globe, including,
- SD-1: Berlin, Germany
- SD-2: Paris, France
- SD-3: Athens, Greece
- SD-4: Rome, Italy
- SD-5. Tripoli, Libya
- SD-6: Los Angeles, California, USA
- SD-7: Bejing, China
- SD-8: Madrid, Spain
- SD-9: London, England
- SD-10: Seoul, South Korea
- SD-11: Tokyo, Japan
- SD-12: Israel and Zurich, Switzerland.
The SD-6 unit is headquartered six levels
below the Credit Dauphine building in Los
Angeles. The division is accessed via a special
elevator. Each person who enters is
biometrically scanned for authentication.
Intruders are hunted down and killed by SD-6's
own Internal Security Squad.
Arvin Sloane, the
Director of SD-6
The roster of agents in SD-6 consists of :
- Arvin Sloane, (Ron Rifkin), the head of SD-6
(his right index finger activates
Failsafe/Lockdown procedures for the building.
When he was promoted, the Alliance injected a
tracking device and mini-microphone in his
neck to monitor his activities 24/7. Arvin is
allergic to morphine)
- Calvin McCullough, head of Psychological
Warfare Division
- Agent Sydney
Bristow (Jennifer Garner)
- Agent Jack Bristow (Victor Garber)
- Agent Marcus Dixon (Carl Lumbly)
- Agent Marshall J. Flinkman (Kevin
Weisman), a tech geek
- Agent Cal McKenas (Quentin Tarantino),
defected to work with Irina Drevko (a.k.a.
"The Man") and later became operative for "The
Covenant")
The Alliance was finally taken down when Sidney
Bristow a double agent for the CIA infiltrated
the Alliance airborne computer servers and enabled the
CIA to take down all the SD headquarters
simultaneously. Some of the SD-6 agents were
offered employment with the CIA like agents
Marcus Dixon and Marshall J. Flinkman.
Arvin Sloane, however, fled underground but eventually
arranged for a pardon with the U.S. government,
in exchange for providing his extensive
knowledge of terrorized organization to the CIA.
He moved to Zurich, Switzerland and became a
philanthropist for Omnifam, a world hunger relief
organization.
Arvin later activated the secrets of Rambaldi
using "The Horizon" artifact that created a
strange liquid which imbued immortality. To keep
Arvin from becoming a pox upon the world, former
agent Jack Bristow, refused to partake of the
same liquid and sacrificed himself by setting
off an explosion that buried his former boss
(forever?) inside The Tomb of Rambaldi in
Mongolia.
Other criminal organizations associated with The
Alliance included:
- The Covenant, and
intelligence/terrorist organization composed
of retired KGB and former Central
Committee members.
- Prophet Five, a criminal
organization based in Barcelona, Spain. Its
affiliate units known as The Shed
(similar to SD-6) were located in
Prague, Cleveland, Seattle, Chicago and St.
Louis.
- K-Directorate. a dangerous arm of
the Russian underground, and an enemy of SD-6,
and of the United States.
- FTL (now defunct), a crime
organization and another enemy of SD-6 and of
the United States .FTL was fronted at the
Tyno-Chem Engineering headquarters, based in
Hong Kong. Former FTL bases were located in
Morocco (Rabat) and Shaneer, with transfer
facilities in Kenilworth, Warwickshire, UK.
