Annie Walker (Reimagined)

Anne Catherine Walker was born on Hickam Air Force Base in Hawaii. Her father was an intelligence officer in the United States Air Force. Because of that, Annie and her sister Danielle, were raised all over the world. Her mother, Mary, was a homemaker.

After Annie graduated from high school, she went on to Georgetown University. She graduated from Georgetown with a Bachelor of Arts in History and then enlisted in the United States Air Force. Annie decided to become an airborne cryptologic linguist.

After basic military training and the Aircrew Fundamentals Course, she went on to the Defense Language Institute. There, Annie learned Chinese-Mandarin. After language training, she attended the Airborne Cryptologic Language Analyst Course and then the Combat Survival Training Course. Upon completing RC-135 weapon system formal training, Annie was assigned as an airborne cryptologic linguist to the 390th Intelligence Squadron at Kadena Air Base in Okinawa, Japan.

She left the Air Force after six years of distinguished service. Annie then obtained a position as an entry-level assistant collections manager at the National Museum of American History while she simultaneously applied to join the Central Intelligence Agency.

Before she could join the Agency, she had to go through a thorough medical and psychological exam, a polygraph interview and an extensive background investigation. Upon successfully completing the entire application process, Annie was accepted as a clandestine service trainee.

After an orientation period, she resigned from her position at the National Museum of American History and went on to the CIA's Special Training Center, Camp Peary - "The Farm," near Williamsburg, Virginia for intensive operational training. There, Annie went through the Basic Operations Course, which trained her in so-called "operational intelligence" or "tradecraft" espionage skills.

After completing the Clandestine Service Trainee Program, she was assigned as an operations officer to the Domestic Protection Division, an adjunct branch of the National Resources Division.

Although it maintains the NRD's role of recruiting foreigners within the United States to serve as human intelligence assets, the primary mandate of the DPD is to collect intelligence in response to time-sensitive threats to the U.S. homeland by utilizing classical methods of deep-cover unilateral espionage operations instead of exclusively relying on foreign agents.

In that capacity, Annie engages in the nitty-gritty of undercover spying in the field, risking her life for the sake of taking a photograph or recording a conversation or copying a computer hard drive.

She is a non-official cover officer; meaning she is an operations officer without any official connection to the CIA and also without diplomatic protection if ever caught in an act of espionage. Annie's cover is that she is an acquisitions manager for the Smithsonian Institution. That gives her the cover to travel frequently.
