What is K-Directorate?
 

K-Directorate is an enemy of both SD-6 and the United States. A critical, and highly dangerous arm of the Russian underground, K-Directorate has an international presence. Its "private" aims are, like those of SD-6, to hoard Rambaldi artifacts and technology.

While SD-6 attempted to identify "The Man", Dixon, impersonating Jamaican diplomat Darian Buchanan, met with K-Directorate contact Brandon Dahlgren in a Las Vegas casino, to exchange the agent's ring with a listening device.

Later, the assassination of K-Directorate head Ilyich Ivankov in Moscow by Mr. Sark, Director of Operations to "The Man," left Lavro Kessar in command during negotiations for the exchange of a key Rambaldi manuscript that contained "The Prophecy."

In the past year, K-Directorate has engaged in arms trade with Ineni Hassan with the intention of creating a partnership. Noah Hicks, Sydney's former lover, was revealed as K-Directorate ice-pick assassin "The Snowman" before Sydney killed him.

Other key players include Anna Espinosa, go-to officer for Wetwork and Active Measures. She is Sydney's equal in both wits and physical strength. Anna's one-time lover, Spanish venture capitalist and auto enthusiast Eduardo Benegas owned a Rambaldi sketch with the two-part binary code — Sydney and Anna battled over it only to watch the document disintegrate in a Berlin stadium.
