Empowered with a Tier 5 security clearance, he was part of the intelligence team that took out Bin Laden, and for many years he ran the Farm. But Fisk isn't your typical uptight high-level operator. He's an immaculate dresser. Hiding in plain sight. When you have his kind of swag, sometimes a smile is all you need to disarm a ruthless arms dealer or flip a Middle Eastern dictator to do his bidding. He has no Achilles' heel. No family, no friends or personal past that anyone could ever trace. He is married to the job. He is a ghost. Currently, Fisk's assignment within the Company is on a need-to-know basis.
