It is then that Sydney is told by her father [[Jack Bristow]] (another SD-6 agent and a double agent for the CIA) that SD-6 is not part of the CIA; instead, it is part of the [[Alliance of Twelve]], an organization that is an enemy to the [[United States]]. She decides to offer her services to the ''real'' CIA as a double agent. Her offer is soon accepted, and she begins the long and arduous task of destroying SD-6 from the inside.

A major subplot of the series is the search for and the recovery of artifacts created by Rambaldi, a [[Leonardo da Vinci]]-like inventor and prophet from [[Medieval]] times. Rambaldi's works include electronics and other devices that would not be invented by others for centuries, and he also predicted that a woman who looks like Sydney will cause "utter devastation" to the world. This subplot pushes ''Alias'' into the genre of [[science fiction]].
