Мэк, эллисон

LegacyEdit

The memory of her death lingered on in Dr. Church’s mind so much that when Alpha was created, a «shadow» of Allison was made as a by-product of the process. She was put into a robotic body and given the codename Freelancer Agent Texas, believing herself to be a real human and interacted with Alpha (who also believed himself to be a human soldier and thought Leonard Church’s name his own), remembering him as her boyfriend due to Allison’s relationship with Dr. Church. The failure that caused Allison’s death has yet to be disclosed in the series. It is assumed that many aspects of Allison and Tex are similar, at least from the Director’s point of view. It is also possible that Tex’s relationship with Alpha mirrors that of Allison’s and Dr. Church’s.

Детство и юность

Эллисон Мэк родилась 29 июля 1982 года в немецком городе, хотя ее родители Джонатан и Минди были американцами. Отец работал в Германии в течение двух лет после рождения малышки, а по окончании рабочего визита семья вернулась на родину, в Калифорнию. Эллисон — средняя дочь, есть старший брат Шеннон и младшая сестра Робин.

Когда девочке было 4 года, она снялась в рекламном ролике шоколадных сладостей. А спустя 3 года на короткий срок стала моделью, позже посещала кружок по актерскому мастерству в Лос-Анджелесе. Первой ролью стал эпизод в комедии «Полицейская академия – 6», следом были незначительные работы в амплуа трудного подростка.

Role in PlotEdit

In Three’s a Crowd, as Carolina begins to fight Tex after Eta and Iota are implanted into her, the Director enters the room, angered at the fight that’s going on and immediately calls out «No, Allison!» after noticing Tex in the ensuing brawl. Suddenly, all of the A.I. react to this and mutter «Allison,» nonstop. The Sarcophagus also begins to make growling sounds in reaction to it. This is probably due to the fact that the A.I. are fragments of the Director himself so they all could have residual memories of who Allison was and reacted in the same dismay as he did. This also brings light to the fact that Tex is a shadow of Allison so the Director could believe Tex to actually be her.

Tex discovers Allison.

In Remember Me How I Was, Washington was implanted with the A.I. unit Epsilon. During this time, Wash began to experience memory hallucinations of Allison. This causes him to go into an extreme panic and is eventually sedated before he’s taken to Recovery. She is last seen in a video in Don’t Say It, which the Director plays over and over again until he is confronted by Carolina and Epsilon. When the two leave after letting go of their past, the Director allegedly commits suicide as he watches the video of Allison for the last time.

She also appears in the Red vs. Blue: The Ultimate Fan Guide story «Leonard + Allison«, which is one of the Director’s memories showcasing himself meeting Allison for the first time in UNSC Training, where she stops a bully, Delaney, from beating Leonard to a pulp.

PersonalityEdit

Allison is a determined woman with a kind heart and strong values. She has displayed her kind-heartedness on many occasions, particularly with her sister Vanya. She welcomed Vanya home, despite the book she wrote and even stated that she was glad Vanya had come.

Allison is also a very emotional woman, often being driven out of her feelings instead of rationalizing, such as when she went to confront Harold Jenkins on her own. She can also have the tendency to have outbursts at those who catch her in a bad mood. However, she is not completely hysterical, as she does give thought to her actions and reflects heavily, most notably on the use of her power. After being caught using it on her daughter and losing custody, she seemed to swear off using it, refusing to do it even during a confrontation with Cha-Cha, a highly skilled assassin.

Allison seemed to abuse her power of suggestion in her childhood and as a young adult, using it to advance her career, manipulate those around her, and even force someone to love her. This shows a deep insecurity in her, and her actions seem to haunt her consistently, causing her to act impulsively to avoid thinking about her regrets. She is strongly against using her power, even when her life is endangered. As seen where she shed tears when Vanya began to lose control, begging her not to make her use her power.

Despite everything, Allison has a deep love for her siblings. She goes especially out of her way to show love toward Vanya, seemingly as a way to make up for the cruel way she treated her as a child. She even forgives Vanya instantly after she almost kills her, and smiles warmly at her during her concert.

Организация по саморазвитию

Компанию NXIVM, якобы предоставляющую услуги по контролю душевного состояния женщин и преодолению ими эмоциональных и физических барьеров, основал предприниматель Кит Раньер. Примечательно, что он уже привлекался к ответственности за попытку создания финансовой пирамиды в начале 1990-х.

• Кит Раньер

Среди поклонников Раньера и членов NXIVM были дочь бывшего мексиканского президента Висенте Фокса Ана Кристина, а также дети владельца алкогольной корпорации Seagram Эдгара Бронфмана. Сам предприниматель недолгое время тоже числился участником организации, но покинул компанию, назвав её деятельность культом.

О том, что NXIVM занимается противозаконными делами, писала газета The New York Times. В октябре 2017 года NYT опубликовала собственное расследование, в котором бывшие последовательницы организации рассказывали, что представители секты называли себя хозяевами, а своих учениц — рабынями.

Вскоре после вступления в члены NXIVM женщины увольнялись с работы и уходили из семей, чтобы полностью посвятить себя учениям Раньера. Членство в NXIVM подтверждалось специальным обрядом инициации: последовательницам выжигали клеймо с инициалами Раньера в области таза.

Следствие полагает, что компания была построена по принципу пирамиды: в организации существовала секретная группа, которая и занималась сексуальной эксплуатацией и торговлей женщинами.

Differences Between ComicsEdit

• In the show, Allison’s powers can influence peoples thoughts, feelings and actions and thus chooses to (unlike the comics) become an actor. In the comics, she can slightly alter reality; when she visits a store that’s out of a desired item, she uses her powers and it appears.
• The show depicts Allison’s romance with Luther as a long-standing legitimate attraction, while the comic implies she is using her powers to manipulate Luther in order to cope with her divorce. Contrary to the comics, she is portrayed in the show as much more compassionate and far less deliberately manipulative.
• Alison’s appearance also differs from her comic book counterpart who has lighter skin and shoulder-length purple hair.

Biography

Carr had previously worked with Saul Berenson. She also served as Carrie Mathison’s predecessor as station chief in Baghdad, where Carr worked to keep her Iraqi asset Ahmed Nazari (codenamed «Acrobat») working with Carrie after her departure. The Russian SVR, specifically Ivan Krupin, used Acrobat to tempt Carr with bribes, which the SVR then used as blackmail to turn Carr to a Russian SVR asset and double agent.

During her tenure in Berlin, she demands that Saul be removed from the station instead of herself, after a hacker and journalist leak over 3,000 classified joint CIA and BND documents from the CIA Berlin station.

At one point, the Israeli ambassador to Berlin learns of Saul’s plan to float Syrian general Yousef Tirani as a possible successor in the case of Bashar al-Assad being removed from power. Carr and Saul are present when Yousef’s plane is bombed; Carr at first suspects that the Israelis orchestrated the hit, although Carrie eventually convinces Saul it was the Russians. Carr then plays Dar and Saul against each other to preserve her position in Berlin.

Carrie eventually discovers that Carr is a mole and possible double agent, after obtaining Nazari’s laptop and connecting him to Carr. The CIA and BND authorize a complete surveillance package for Carr without her knowledge. The CIA then devises a plan to scare Carr into fleeing to her SVR handlers, but Carr devises a last second plan to tell the CIA that her SVR handler, Ivan Krupin, was actually her asset. The CIA doesn’t believe her, but doesn’t have the proof or resources do detain her when they discover an imminent terrorist attack on Berlin, and they keep Krupin in custody.

An ISIS cell orchestrates this attack, planning to use sarin gas on a Berlin train station. Meanwhile, Carr’s new SVR handler tells her that she must not only allow the attack to happen, but to prevent the CIA from stopping it. Carr goes to Dr. Aman Aziz’s office, who is the mastermind of the attack, with her CIA security oficer to interrogate Dr. Aziz. Dr. Aziz discloses the attack will happen on a Berlin train station. Carr then kills Aziz and her CIA security prevent the CIA from finding out the target location for the attack, stages the scene as self-defense against Aziz, shooting herself to make it look more authentic, and then falsely tells Saul the attack would happen at a Berlin airport.

Carrie discovers the attack will actually happen at the train station anyway, and calls Saul; Saul goes to the hospital where Carr is being treated for her gunshot to confront her, discovers she has already fled to her SVR handler. Krupin, being in CIA and BND custody, eventually flips on Allison, and gives up the SVR extraction plan for Carr. When the SVR attempts to smuggle Carr out of the country, Saul is waiting with a black ops team, riddles the car with bullets, and kills Carr and all the SVR agents in the vehicle.

Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce

Don takes advantage of her attentiveness as a lonely bachelor. Allison buys Don’s Christmas presents for Sally Draper and Robert Draper, brings Don’s keys to his apartment when he drunkenly leaves them at the office, and then makes love to him, although she resists his advances momentarily. The next morning Allison greets Don with an excited smile, but he acts like their encounter never happened, saying «thank you for bringing my keys.» He hands her a 100 dollar bonus for all of her «hard work,» and says that he «went too far.» Allison is clearly upset. («Christmas Comes But Once a Year»)

During a group meeting of various secretaries to do some testing for Ponds, Allison began to tear up after hearing how men treated the other secretaries. She knew Don was in the other room, and finally broke down and ran out of the room. Feeling somewhat responsible, Peggy asked to check in on Allison. After inquiring, Allison begins talking about her involvement with Don, and assumes that Peggy went through the same thing. Peggy is insulted and tells Allison to get over it.

Later, Allison confronts Don. After being told that she could write any recommendation and that he’d sign it, she becomes outraged and throws a cigarette dispenser at him before, storming out of the office. Joan asks if she would be allowed back after a few days and Don quietly said no. That evening, after drinking, Don returns home and begins an apology letter, before discarding it. («The Rejected»)

In «Nixon vs. Kennedy», Ken pulls her to the ground and hikes up her skirt to reveal her panties.

Проблемы с законом и причастность к NXIVM

В 2010 году Мэк присоединилась к ванкуверскому филиалу организации NXIVM, вместе с коллегой по сериалу «Тайны Смолвиля», Кристин Кройк. В статье журнала Forbes 2003 года, NXIVM была описана как организация, устраивающая семинары по саморазвитию, в то время как критики называли её «культоподобной программой». Сооснователь филиала в Торонто покинул организацию в 2017 году, рассказав о ней изданию The New York Times.

Мэк была арестована ФБР в Нью-Йорке 20 апреля 2018 года по обвинению в сексуальной эксплуатации женщин и принуждении к труду. По данным следствия, после того, как Мэк привлекала женщин в организацию, она начинала их шантажировать, принуждая к сексуальным отношениям с основателем NXIVM Китом Раньером, за что получала от Раньера деньги. Мэк предположительно занимала одно из руководящих мест в NXIVM, следующее за Раньером. 24 апреля 2018 года Мэк была освобождена под залог в 5 миллионов долларов. По решению суда, она должна была находиться под домашним арестом в доме своих родителей в Калифорнии и ходить с электронным браслетом. Она обвинялась в привлечении женщин в программу «DOS» или «The Vow» — секс-культ NXIVM, позиционировавшийся как женские семинары по саморазвитию.

8 апреля 2018 года Мэк признала себя виновной. Приговор по делу Эллисон Мэк ожидался в сентябре 2019 года. Но 15 июля 2019 года старший окружной судья Николас Гарауфис (Nicholas Garaufis) решил отложить рассмотрение дела по существу на неопределённый срок, чтобы дать сотрудникам службы пробации время на завершение предварительного расследования. По совокупности обвинений ей грозит от 15 лет лишения свободы до пожизненного заключения.

По данным следствия, в феврале 2017 года Мэк вступила в брак с канадской актрисой Ники Клайн (англ.)русск., также являющейся членом NXIVM, поскольку та не могла продлить свою визу для того, чтобы оставаться в США.

«Nixon vs. Kennedy».

Sterling Cooper

Allison starts as one of the receptionists at the front desk, before eventually becoming Don Draper’s secretary. She demonstrates on numerous occasions that she is good at her job due to her discreet and formal nature.

She notices that something is wrong after the weekend where Don Draper, Roger Sterling, Bertram Cooper, Lane Pryce, Pete Campbell, Peggy Olson, Joan Holloway, and Harry Crane ransack the Sterling Cooper Advertising Agency offices after leaving to start their own firm. («Shut the Door. Have a Seat»)

Sometime between December 1963 and December 1964, she joins Don as his secretary once again. («Public Relations»)

BiographyEdit

As a child, she was used by her father for her powers. He forced her to use her ability to make Vanya forget she also had powers and placed a psychological block on her mind that made her believe she was only normal. This is a major plot point in the series.
She had a romantic relationship with Luther throughout her life, beginning at young age, but continuing after they met again at Reginald Hargreeves’s funeral (Episode 1).

Prior to the series, she married Patrick, on whom it is implied she used her powers to initiate their relationship: ‘I heard a rumor that you love me’. She has a daughter named Claire with Patrick.

Her marriage broke down after Patrick witnessed Allison using her powers on their daughter, after which he gained full custody of Claire. In this way especially it is clear that Allison began abusing her powers for personal gain and ease of life, her awareness of which acts as a motivator for her behaviour, particularly towards Vanya, throughout the season.

Civil Rights MovementEdit

When Five transports all of the Umbrella Academy back in time to avert the apocalypse, Allison finds herself in Dallas, 1961, at the height of the American Civil Rights Movement. She quickly stumbles upon Odessa’s salon, where she begins working shortly after.

She quickly becomes an integral part of the movement, and years later in 1963, Allison is an integral part of the sit-in before the arrival of JFK in an attempt to gauge the attention of the media. The sit in is initially a failure, and Allison, along with her husband, Raymond Chestnut, are escorted off the premises by the police.

Relationship with RaymondEdit

Allison initially enjoys a close and stable relationship with Raymond, who she met during her time at the civil rights movement. Things begin to go south for the two when other members of the Umbrella Academy, particularly Luther begin showing up in Dallas.

Raymond becomes confused over Allison’s history and, when she is reluctant to explain, he leaves their house together and refuses to talk with her. As a result, Allison realises that her only chance to salvage the relationship with Raymond is to explain about her past and her involvement with the Umbrella Academy. Raymond is initially reluctant to believe her, but when she shows him her abilities, he believes her.

Their relationship comes to a head when Allison is ready to return to her rightful place within the timeline with the other members of the Umbrella Academy. Allison asks Raymond to return with her, but he is reluctant, citing that 2019 is not like 1963, and his duties are not finished. Nonetheless, Raymond tells her that the years they spent together have been the best of his life.

Powers and AbilitiesEdit

PowersEdit

• Mental Manipulation: By prefacing a statement with «I heard a rumor,» Allison can compel people do whatever she desires. Although she initially abused her power by using it for personal gain, her ex-husband, Patrick caught her using the ability on her daughter, Claire

  Reality Manipulation: As seen during her childhood, where he father had her use her powers to suppress her sister, Vanya’s own powers. Allison’s ability to mentally affect others using her voice can also to a certain degree at the time, manipulate and influence reality. Later as seen during the second season, Allison can now cause spontaneous phenomenon to happen to whenever she uses her voice on others, as seen where she had actually caused the heads of three men to actually explode after she used her mental suggestion on them.

  and she realized her use had been exploitative and stopped using it unless she had to. However, in order for her power to have effect she must be close enough to a subject that they can hear her.

AbilitiesEdit

Skilled Combatant: Like many of her siblings, Allison possesses extensive physical and combative training, making her a capable athlete and martial artist.

• According to Epsilon, Allison had intense anger issues, which seem to have been passed onto Carolina.
