Daniel Allard (Game Of Shadows)

Daniel Allard is one of the most important characters in Game Of Shadows. Born as a child to a russian woman and an english father, his childhood was normal with his parents dying when he was 17. He was originally a CIA agent who was tasked to overthrow the regime of South Africa in order for TALAB to be able to control the diamond mines in South Africa, he defected from the CIA, after John stopped the overthrow of the regime before it even began. 
During the first part of Game Of Shadows, Daniel plays an important role as he kills a high general who is also the leader of TALAB's private army and always stood in contact with TALAB. John is able to get a trusted CIA agent to act like the general, which gives them tons of information about TALAB including some of their bank accounts. 
During the second part of Game Of Shadows, Daniel builds up two networks with one being a network of sleeper agents all over the world, who are trained to kill their vicimts in a way that looks like suicide or accidents, who are meant to kill Johns enemies even overseas. The second network again contains sleeper agents in several intelligence agencies from countries so that John can manipulate however he sees fit.
