Whatever special division we've been picked for, whoever's running it, it's still for the CIA, for the greater good.
Dayana Mampasi

Dayana Mampasi is a human rights lawyer, who formerly worked at a firm in Boston prior to being recruited by the CIA. After graduating from her training at Camp Peary, she becomes a case officer. She is portrayed by Pearl Thusi.

Character Biography

Dayana is described as a "driven, disciplined, type-A lawyer working at her parents' Boston firm who struggles to fit in". She left her law practice to train at The Farm when she was recruited by the CIA. At The Farm, she's Alex Parrish's roommate, but early on makes it clear that she's not there to make friends.

Description

Dayana was born in Harare, Zimbabwe. At a young age, she was orphaned but was later adopted. After spending her formative years in the United States, she graduated at the top of her law class at Harvard University. Sometime later, she was recruited by the CIA to be trained at the Farm.

Eventually, it was revealed that Lydia Hall recruited her, León Velez, and Ryan Booth into an approved black ops program which, unbeknownst to her later became a part of the AIC. As part of an AIC operation, she and Mike Murray were presumably sent to kill an American journalist/CIA operative living in Surabaya, Indonesia.

A year later, she attended the 2018 G-20 summit in New York which turned into a crisis, that was perpetrated by a terrorist group called the Citizens Liberation Front. After the crisis ended, she became part of a covert task force assembled by President Claire Haas and CIA director Matthew Keyes. The task force's job was to publicly expose the collaborators of the shadow group behind the 2018 Hostage Crisis.
