Sacha Bell was a recurring character in *QIA*.

## Biography

Sacha was a former high-ranking CIA operative who spent fifteen years working as a spy within the Kremlin. Blessed with an eidetic memory, he was able to pass on state secrets to the Americans by memorising them and encoding them into software. After leaving Russia and returning to America, Sacha turned to freelance work, consulting for various intelligence agencies both domestic and foreign. ("Resurrection")

One such engagement was his work for Brent Hall, who put his photographic memory to use while selling QIA operational secrets to the Russians. ("Moscow", "The Blood-Dimmed Tide")

Once Brent Hall learned that Sarah Cunnington was in fact alive, Sacha was among the small group he assembled to abduct her in November 2022. However, the group was betrayed by one of their number, Darren Scrimshaw, and both Hall and Sacha were arrested by the London Field Team. ("Resurrection")

While Hall made a deal, Bell was put in a QIA-affiliated prison in Tadworth, where he spent the next three months awaiting extradition to America. However, shortly before this was due to occur, the UK Foreign Office agreed instead to hand him over to the Russian government, placing the QIA in a tricky position. After faking his death at Biggin Hill Airport, Tom Burt took him 24 hours back in time and onto a new plane bound, secretly, for Washington. However, in the middle of the flight, the plane was hijacked by Konstantin Denisov, who took him. ("Moscow")

Bell was deposited at the OVM and was later interrogated by Denisov, with the intention of acquiring the final set of data files with which they could finally get the OVM operational. However, Bell revealed that he had not been able to have sight of these files before his arrest by the QIA, though he did reveal that Sophie King had been his 'middle man', and still likely had the files. With his usefulness having run out, and with him officially believed dead, Bell was incarcerated in Black Dolphin prison, where he was placed in the same cell as Aleksander Volkov. ("Ghosts")

During the next three and a half months, Bell found himself routinely subjected to beatings conducted by fellow inmate Pyotr Lunyov and arranged and approved by the guards, on account of his treasonous status. However, in June 2023, Tom Burt and Jack Harringer Jumped into the prison with the intention of temporarily releasing him so he could use his knowledge to fix the Hubs, which had been rendered inoperable from the theta.exe file. The plan went wrong, however, after Jack discovered he was unable to Jump back out of the prison, which was employing the same anti-Jump technology first developed by Sağlık Pharmaceuticals. Eventually, with the help of Brent Hall - also an inmate at Black Dolphin - and Volkov, Bell was able to escape the prison, though not before he had exacted a brutal revenge on Lunyov, biting off part of his ear, gouging his eyes and then ripping out his tongue. ("Bell", "Voyna")

Back in London, Bell was able to successfully bring the London Hub back online. However, following this success he was then extradited to Washington and placed into CIA custody, though not before accepting the offer of a suicide pill from Erik Draper. Not long after being taken into CIA custody he died of 'heart disease'. ("Children")
