Biography
Sydney Bristow
After her mother was supposedly killed in a car accident and her father was taken into custody, Sydney went to live with Arvin Sloane and Emily Sloane. They lined the shelves of her room with stuffed animals to comfort her, but she knocked them all over the floor. (Episode: Reprisal) As a young child, she was unable to draw her future occupation. (Episode: All The Time In The World). She had a piano teacher named Ms. Adams (Cipher) where her father subjected her to Project Christmas that was a CIA test program for young children to determine if they could be potential agents. (Episode: The Indicator). Seven years ago, whilst in her freshman year at college, Sydney was recruited to SD-6, a supposed black ops division of the CIA. She worked in the cover location, Credit Dauphine, for six months before undergoing eight months of physical training before being taken to the real SD-6. (Episode: Q&A) Soon after joining, Sydney took a cheque to her father to repay him for his payment of her college funds. When she told him that she had started working for Credit Dauphine, Jack became agitated and told her to quit, realizing that Sloane had enlisted her to work at SD-6, which he knew to be a criminal organization. Sydney refused and left angrily, saying that she could do what she wanted. (Episode: All The Time In The World) She quickly passed through all the tests that SD-6 had to offer, with the officers there telling her that she was "a natural". She continued her studies at college despite the fact that head of SD-6, Arvin Sloane, disliked it. Her cover with her friends was that she was working at the bank, Credit Dauphine. (Episode: Truth Be Told)
Sydney got engaged to Danny and decided to tell him that she worked for the CIA. While he thought about what he was feeling, Sydney left on a reconnaissance mission for SD-6 to Hong Kong. When she returned, she found Danny dead in his apartment and realized he had been killed by SD-6 because of his knowledge of their existence. She confronted Sloane, who said that Danny was a risk and heir security section took him out as per their procedure, and as she was now a risk she had to take a lie detector test which she was trained to defeat. Sydney attended Danny's funeral along with her friends including Will Tippin and Francie Calfo. Afterward, she stayed up listening to her answering message over and over, which had Danny's voice on it. She took three months off from working at SD-6, despite the fact that Sloane gave her only one. He became impatient and sent Dixon to bring her back. He told her that the FTL organization had got control of the Mueller device and Sloane wanted her personally go and retrieve it before they could activate it. Still, she refused to go in. As a result, Sloane tried to have her killed, sending several teams after her. She managed to take them all out, with the assistance of her father whom she realized also worked for SD-6. He arranged for her to go on a flight to Switzerland to escape Sloane's men, explaining that SD-6 was a branch of the Alliance of Twelve, a criminal organization, and not part of the CIA as she had been led to believe. However, she did not get on the plane, deciding not to trust her father, and ran away. (Episode: Truth Be Told)
