Gordon Dean (Alias)
Encyclopedia
Gordon Dean is a fictional character
on the American television show Alias. He was portrayed by Tyrees Allen
.
. Apparently only Dean and his associate Kelly Peyton
knew the truth, the Shed was actually a division of Prophet Five.
Dean initially appeared in the first episode of season 5, claiming to be with the CIA's Office of Special Investigations. He claimed to be investigating Michael Vaughn
as a double agent, however, APO
quickly determined Dean was a rogue agent. He had faked his death two years earlier and had since then been living "off the grid."
When Shed operative Rachel Gibson learned the Shed's actual affiliation, she turned on it and at the behest of APO
and Sydney Bristow
stole the data from the Shed's servers. When Dean discovered what she was doing he destroyed the Shed, killing everyone except Peyton and Gibson.
Following the destruction of the Shed, Dean and Peyton undertook a series of attempts to recover or kill Gibson, with no success. Dean was instrumental in securing the release of Arvin Sloane
from federal custody and getting Sloane's security clearance reinstated so Sloane could work for Dean inside APO. He also had some undetermined connection to Sloane prior to this.
Eventually Dean was captured by Gibson and taken into APO custody. While in custody Sloane murdered him at the behest of Peyton who, with Dean's death, took control of his operations.
