Alan Fitch's History

Publicly, Alan Fitch worked as the Assistant Director of National Intelligence. Fitch had been married to a woman named Margaret for 51 years. On the side, he was a senior member and chairman of the Cabal, a criminal syndicate whose secrets Raymond Reddington knows. During the Cold War, he was known as “The Decembrist” and was apparently a major figure in the world of espionage that operated extensively to end the Soviet Union communist regime. For that end, In 1990, Fitch orchestrated the bombing of a Soviet Union meeting aligned with the communist regime in Kursk, killing 15 people. Also in 1990, Fitch framed a US naval intelligence officer named Reddington for treason by leaking classified U.S military documents that led to the destruction and sinking of an American submarine called the USS Gideon, killing 134 people. He did that to kill and/or discredit Reddington before he released damaging information on the Cabal, known as the Fulcrum. Reddington has arranged for those secrets to be divulged in the event of his death in order to make sure Fitch's organization stays away from him.
