Bio
Introduced near the end of season three as the daughter of an affair between Irina Derevko and Arvin Sloane, Nadia grew up in an orphanage and is the half-sister of Sydney Bristow. Since the age of 18, she has worked undercover in Argentine intelligence. She meets Sydney while undercover on her first mission posing as a patient in a Chechen mental hospital. However, her skills as an agent goes beyond those which she received during training. She appears to have many of the same hard-wired abilities as her sister Sydney Bristow. Jack Bristow, the head of Project Christmas, has had both her and Sydney under scrutiny ever since birth. The Rambaldi prophecies refer to her as The Passenger, who serves as a direct conduit to Rambaldi himself. Like her sister, she too is key to unraveling the Rambaldi mystery. At the end of Season Three, she teams up with her father after revealing that she scrambled the formula that yielded latitude and longitude coordinates to Rambaldi's greatest artifact, one that holds Rambaldi's own consciousness. Now only father and daughter know the true location of the artifact.
At the start of the fourth season, Nadia had broken ties with her father and returned to Argentina to live a peaceful life. After assisting the newly formed APO agency in rescuing her sister, she subsequently accepted a position with the organization, which is a black ops offshoot of the CIA overseen by Arvin Sloane. Upon learning of her mother's death from Sydney, she swore an oath to kill the person responsible for killing Irina, not knowing that Irina was killed by Jack in order to protect Sydney.
Jack subsequently led Nadia to believe that Irina had been killed by Bishop, a master thief with terrorist connections who had taken Sydney prisoner during an APO mission gone astray. Nadia subsequently shot Bishop to death during the mission to rescue Sydney and continued to fire bullets into him until her gun ran out of ammunition.
Nadia continues to try and learn more about her mother, and what type of person she was, which has led her to bond somewhat with Jack. She is currently romantically involved with her CIA colleague, Eric Weiss.
