I don't play games, Alex. I train spies. I train patriots to serve their country. I don't know what you've gotten yourself into, but if you don't start telling me everything right now, I swear to God, I will have you arrested for espionage and make sure you don't see the light of day for a decade.

Character Biography[]

Owen Hall is the charming and intelligent CIA officer every operative wishes he or she could learn from. But is he running them, or using them for something else? 

Description[]

Owen Hall is the former Deputy Director of the CIA, who assisted the Director of the CIA (D/CIA) in reporting the activities of the organization to the Director of National Intelligence (DNI). He is the father of recently imprisoned, Lydia Hall, who is a former CIA case officer. She was later charged for committing multiple felonies under the Espionage Act after leaking U.S classified intelligence to the internet.

Although, he is described as charming and direct, Owen is fully dedicated to the safety of his agents. As a result of being a case officer for an extended period of time within the Agency, he understood the risks that covert operations pose to field operatives. After his covert identity was compromised as a result of a leak, he worked as a lead CIA instructor at The Farm for fourteen years. He tried to prepare his recruits with the necessary training but shortly after, an incident occurred that ended his role at the training facility. Later, he was pardoned for his false arrest in relation to an FBI murder case investigation and was given an opportunity to be a part of the covert task force assembled by former President Claire Haas and CIA director Matthew Keyes.

Three years after the events of the Constitutional Convention, Owen left the CIA. Currently, he works at the Bureau as the Deputy Director of the FBI.
